I talked to Craig, some of his cast members, and the film’s director, Cary Joji Fukunaga, about the experience of working on Craig’s final Bond film.
“It’s going to take me 15 years to unpack it all I think,” Craig told me. “I’ve had so many incredible experiences. … I’ll need to think about them. I’m just massively grateful and fortunate to have had such a wonderful experience.”
The latest film is action packed and in theaters.
‘Maid’
Inspired by the New York Times best-selling memoir by Stephanie Land, this dramatic series follows the story of a single mother who turns to housecleaning to try and make ends meet for her and her young daughter as the mom escapes an abusive relationship.
“Maid” is currently streaming on Netflix.
‘Diana’
This CNN Original Series, produced by October Films, reexamines the life of an icon through the lens of modernity. “Diana” reframes her story to discover the real woman behind the “People’s Princess.”
Drawing on a new generation of voices, the six-part series includes interviews from those who were close to her and offers a fresh take on the royal.
“Diana” debuts on CNN Sunday.

From his 2012 win on “The X Factor,” James Arthur rose to international acclaim. Now, he’s releasing his fourth album.
“It’ll All Make Sense in the End” comes after Arthur had some rough times, including a battle with crippling anxiety and a controversy over lyrics criticized as homophobic that derailed his career.
The singer apologized and told The Irish Times that the pandemic influenced his recent work.
“With the pandemic, and being isolated, I suffered (because of his anxiety),” he said. “In the end it forced me to do what I loved doing, which is make music. And to try to put that anxiety into songwriting.”
The new album drops Friday.

The wait for new music from Adele has felt like forever (really only six years since her last album, “25,” was released), and now there is reason to rejoice.
Adele is one of the few artists who has consistently been able to disappear from the music scene and return with a project that makes us love her even more. We are ready to listen and feel all our feelings, Adele!
Also, Rihanna, if you are reading this: It’s your move, Boo.
The obsession with youth and looking good in our culture has intensified thanks to social media. But, at the end of the day, we all have to find the beauty within.
