Sinners
As always I am behind on my movie watching but one of my most anticipated titles this year was Sinners. Not only did I hear nothing but wonderful things about it upon its release but it stars Michael B Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld, both of whom I love. I think Ryan Coogler is an incredible director so this was one that I was happy to check off the list.

Jimmy Kimmel Salary, Net Worth, and ABC Suspension Explained. AI-Generated.
Jimmy Kimmel Salary, Net Worth, and ABC Suspension Explained Jimmy Kimmel has been a household name in late-night television since Jimmy Kimmel Live! premiered on ABC in 2003. For over 20 years, his witty monologues and celebrity interviews have kept viewers entertained. But in 2025, the host found himself at the center of controversy after making comments about the tragic death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The backlash led ABC to suspend the show indefinitely, raising questions about Kimmel’s future — and his earnings. Why Did ABC Suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live!? During his September 15 opening monologue, Jimmy Kimmel criticized how some conservatives responded to Kirk’s death. He accused “many in MAGA land” of trying to use the tragedy for political gain and claimed they were attempting to frame the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, as anything but “one of their own.” The remarks quickly went viral and sparked anger from conservative groups. ABC confirmed the show would be “pre-empted indefinitely.” Nexstar, which owns several ABC affiliates across the country, also stopped airing Jimmy Kimmel Live!, stating that it “strongly objects” to Kimmel’s comments. Adding fuel to the fire, FCC chairman Brendan Carr praised Nexstar’s move, while former President Donald Trump celebrated the suspension on social media, calling it “Great for America.” Jimmy Kimmel’s Salary at ABC One of the biggest questions fans are asking is: how much does Jimmy Kimmel earn? According to multiple reports, Kimmel’s ABC salary is about $15 million per year for hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Some outlets suggest the figure may be closer to $16 million annually, factoring in bonuses and additional payments. This places Kimmel among the top earners in late-night television, alongside names like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon. His high paycheck reflects both his long career and the show’s importance to ABC’s lineup. Jimmy Kimmel’s Net Worth Over the years, Jimmy Kimmel has built an impressive fortune beyond his hosting salary. His income also comes from producing, acting, and other entertainment projects. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated at $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This wealth highlights his success as not just a host but also as a major figure in the entertainment industry. Even with his show suspended, Kimmel’s financial future remains secure. What’s Next for Jimmy Kimmel? The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has left viewers wondering about the show’s future. ABC has not announced whether or when the program will return. With Nexstar pulling episodes from its stations, the pause appears more serious than a short break. However, Kimmel’s long history in late-night television and his loyal fan base could work in his favor. If ABC decides to bring him back, he still has the influence and popularity to keep audiences tuning in. Key Takeaway Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC has created headlines across the country. While the controversy has put his show’s future at risk, his financial success is undeniable. With an annual salary of around $15 million and a net worth of $50 million, Kimmel remains one of the richest late-night hosts in America. Whether or not Jimmy Kimmel Live! returns, his impact on late-night TV — and his fortune — are here to stay.

Jack Palance, a Sword, and the Making of Hawk the Slayer (1980)
There are movies that live or die by spectacle; then there are movies whose legends outlive their budgets. Hawk the Slayer sits squarely in the latter camp. The British sword-and-sorcery film (1980), directed by Terry Marcel, is a beloved oddity: rough around the edges, gorgeously theatrical in places, and defended fiercely by a small but devoted cult. Its most enduring backstage image — the one that makes for a perfect lede — concerns Jack Palance. Fan lore holds that Palance was punctured by a sword during a filmed duel and finished the take regardless. It’s the sort of anecdote you hope is true: dramatic, a little brutal, and utterly in character for Palance’s on-screen menace.

Three Movies, One Year: Chevy Chase’s Strange 1980
Chevy Chase at the Crossroads The year 1980 was a strange one for Chevy Chase. Still fresh from his rocket rise on Saturday Night Live and his first starring vehicle Foul Play (1978), Chase entered the new decade with a mix of superstardom and uncertainty. He had the charisma, the deadpan timing, and the bankability, but his choices that year reveal an actor pulled in three directions at once: the cool improviser in Caddyshack, the screwball romantic lead in Seems Like Old Times, and the confused reincarnated detective in Oh! Heavenly Dog.

Luigi Mangione
Luigi Mangione: The Enduring Fascination with a Shadowy Figure In the vast landscape of organized crime history, certain names resonate with a particular, almost mythical, infamy. One such name is Luigi Mangione. While not as universally recognized as Al Capone or John Gotti, Mangione's story is a compelling chapter in the annals of American crime, a tale that continues to spark curiosity and occasional Luigi Mangione news cycles decades later.

Six 100-Word Movie Reviews
The Roses (2025) Director: Jay Roach I am always up for a comedy. While The Roses is comical, it presents the usual story of a bickering couple who are competing for rank. I was hoping for something different. Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch make an excellent duo. They bring more to their characters from the script. Colman is pretty sassy at times. The constant arguing is the main issue. Their arguing bogs down the film, becoming tiring. I wanted Jay Roach to explore the changing dynamic of the meanspirited nature. Even the supporting characters don’t save the film, like Kate McKinnon, who tosses in awkward comedy.
