59+ min ago (335+ words) HOLLYWOOD -- "Avatar: Fire and Ash" is about to light up the box office with the latest sequel from filmmaker James Cameron. "And so it's much more of a story where the characters draw you along with their troubles and their triumphs and tragedies," said Cameron.

1+ hour, 2+ min ago (464+ words) LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Nick Reiner is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, Hollywood actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner. Rob and Michele share three children: Jake, 34, Nick, 32 and Romy, 27. Rob Reiner is also survived by daughter, Tracy Reiner, with his first wife, Penny Marshall, who died in 2018. Nick Reiner was likely set to inherit tens of millions from his parents' estate. But under what's known as the slayer statute, the 32-year-old would not inherit a single penny if he's convicted. Nick Reiner's charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty, according to prosecutors. Estate and trust attorney Sean Weissman, who isn't connected to the Reiner case, says it's incredibly unlikely that any of Rob and Michele Reiner's…...
