True Crime Reality

The headlines are brutal for Tom Cruise’s new movie ‘Digger’ with major news outlets saying the film is set to lose $150 million dollars after opening to a shocking $8 million dollar debut. The satirical black comedy actually received a decent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with fans giving it a 71%, but critics calling it everything from an “unintentionally bad movie” to “insufferably sanctimonious." Cruise took to social media over the weekend to defend the film that he says he was proud and honored to help create. We went to the theaters expecting the worst, and were shocked…. At how much we loved it, and its exceptionally talented cast.

As Christa Pike remains hospitalized, unconscious, on a ventilator in critical condition after a failed execution attempt, the man in charge of Tennessee prisons has announced his resignation.  Governor Bill Lee did not directly reference the situation with Pike, or with this spring’s botched execution of Tony Carruthers, but said Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada stepping aside is "in the best interest of Tennesseans as the independent review moves forward."  Strada was most recently the Deputy Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections where he last oversaw three troubled lethal injections that all involved personnel not being able to find the inmates’ veins.

29-year-old Nathalie Belizaire was taken off a Carnival Cruise ship in handcuffs after police say she went on a 4 day cruise while leaving her 4 kids home, unsupervised.
