One lucky contestant avoided temptation on Monday’s (May 20) edition of The Price Is Right at Night on CBS, winning himself a brand-new car and making history in the process. The contestant in question was Donald, who made it up to the stage to face the tricky “Temptation,” one of the long-running game show’s hardest games to win. For context, until Monday night, no one had won this game for three years. And there had only been only five winners since Drew Carey started hosting the show in 2007. For those unfamiliar with how “Temptation” works, the contestant is shown the first digit in the price of a car. They are then tempted with four prizes (referred to as “gifts”) — each prize’s price or total cash amount is displayed, with one of the digits being the next digit in the price of the car. The contestant must then guess...

2012's The Perks of Being a Wallflower soundtrack highlights the journey of the young protagonist during the uncertain, exciting, and heartbreaking times in high school. The 2012 coming-of-age drama was a critical and commercial success upon its release, and the collective music continues to introduce viewers to playlist-worthy artists. In fact, even a key sequence in The Perks of Being a Wallflower involves the protagonists discovering a '70s classic by David Bowie. Based on Stephen Chbosky's eponymous 1999 novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is further elevated by its impactful soundtrack.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower stars Logan Lerman as Charlie Kelmeckis, a shy 9th grader who struggles to make new friends while dealing with clinical depression. At school, two "wallflowers" named Sam (Harry Potter star Emma Watson) and Patrick (The Flash's Ezra Miller) befriend Charlie, resulting in numerous shared experiences throughout the year. Full of uplifting...

German distributor and world sales company Kinostar has acquired Polish filmmaker Maria Sadowska’s erotic thriller “Temptation.”

Based on the bestselling novel by Edyta Folwarska, “Temptation” tells the story of young journalist Inez, whose assignment to cover soccer star Maks Wygoda leads her onto a dangerous journey.

“Temptation” was produced by Daniel Markowicz of Warsaw-based Lightcraft, who also produced and directed the recent hit Netflix actioner “Lesson Plan,” and executive producers Paulina Nowak and Anita Dabrowska.

“Maria and Daniel are extremely talented, and we are very happy to start working with Lightcraft on this movie, with hopefully many more to follow,” said Kinostar head Michael Roesch.

Sadowska enjoyed a huge box office hit “Girls to Buy,” which saw the second-biggest 2021 opening in Poland after Daniel Craig’s 007 swan song “No Time to Die.” The film follows a young woman who, desperate to escape her small town, becomes an escort...

After seven weeks of uninterrupted chart dominance, Sza was knocked down a peg on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the tracking week that ended February 2. Her “Sos” fell to number-two while the number-one position was taken over by K-pop band Tomorrow X Together, whose five-song collection “The Name Chapter: Temptation” becomes their first ever chart-topper. Read more about this week’s chart at Billboard.com.

“Temptation” reached the top spot with 161,500 equivalent album units, which are calculated by combining traditional album sales, individual track sales, and online streaming performance. Traditional sales were the lion’s share of units for the collection, and most of those came from CD sales. This is the third time the group has been in the top 10. They reached number-four with “Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child” in 2022, and “The Chaos Chapter: Freeze” hit number-five in 2021. So they’d been steadily inching their way up the chart with each successive release.

Merle Oberon movies: Mysterious star of British and American cinema. Merle Oberon on TCM: Donning men's clothes in 'A Song to Remember,' fighting hiccups in 'That Uncertain Feeling' Merle Oberon is Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Month of March 2016. The good news: the exquisite (and mysterious) Oberon, whose ancestry has been a matter of conjecture for decades, makes any movie worth a look. The bad news: TCM isn't offering any Oberon premieres despite the fact that a number of the actress' films – e.g., Temptation, Night in Paradise, Pardon My French, Interval – can be tough to find. This evening, March 18, TCM will be showing six Merle Oberon movies released during the first half of the 1940s. Never a top box office draw in the United States, Oberon was an important international star all the same, having worked with many of the top actors and filmmakers of the studio era.
