Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, great movies, chaz's journal, contributors, jump-starting the nautilus with an electric eel.

Now streaming on:

"Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" looks like nothing so much as one of those live-action adventures that Disney used to grind out in the 1950s — and hey, here's Captain Nemo's Nautilus to prove it. Also, a tree house to humble "Swiss Family Robinson," which contains a short-wave radio that has been assembled from old spoons, I think I heard.

The movie is very, very loosely a sequel to " Journey to the Center of the Earth ," with only two connections: It's inspired by a Jules Verne novel, and it co-stars young Josh Hutcherson as the hero Sean. The film opens with him on a motorcycle and being chased by cops, but not to worry; all he did was break into a satellite-tracking station to boost the power on a message for help sent by his grandfather from a lost island in the Pacific.

Sean, whose father in the first film ( Brendan Fraser ) has disappeared (from the cast, anyway), now has to deal with Hank ( Dwayne Johnson , aka the Rock). Hank is his new stepdad. Josh and Hank make friends by decrypting grandfather's message; Hank glances at it and intuits that the two-syllable words stand for dots and one-syllable words stand for dashes, which means Grandpa has had enough free time on his remote island to figure out a way to make Morse code several times longer than it previously was. Unanswered is why grandfather would encrypt a call for help.

This Hank, what a swell guy. He proposes that the two of them fly off to the Pacific and find Grandpa. On arrival somewhere, they hire a tourist helicopter pilot named Gabato, played by Luis Guzman as another one of those low-comedy guys who gets all worked up and is scared of stuff. (I enjoyed a reprise of this classic shot: Gabato runs toward camera, falls on stomach, looks up …and up … and up.)

Gabato has a daughter named Kailani ( Vanessa Hudgens ), a Polynesian beauty who wears a tank top and Daisy Dukes throughout the film. These four fly off in the helicopter, are trapped in a Force Five hurricane that rips it to pieces and are lucky enough to find themselves alive on the beach of the Mysterious Island.

This is your complete island. It has an active volcano; waterfalls with no apparent water sources streaming down cliffs; elephants the size of dogs, and giant lizards that are nowhere big enough to account for the size of their eggs. (Josh falls through the shell of one, splashes in a pool of yolk and is attacked by an unborn lizard chick.) Also on the island is the lost city of Atlantis, even though it's in the wrong ocean, and bees so big Sean and Kailani can both ride on the back of one. And Alexander Anderson, Sean's grandfather, played by Michael Caine , who will not be editing this role into his videos about how to act in movies.

I hope you understand I enjoyed most of this stuff. The director, Brad Peyton , apparently intended it as a genial parody of countless other movies in this spirit. There is, for example, a scene were Sean, Grandpa, Kailani and Gabato all sit around the old campfire and listen while Hank strums a ukulele and sings "What a Wonderful World." And I mean he sings it: every word of three verses. It's not every day you see the Rock channeling Gene Autry.

Sean deduces that Verne's novel contains everything they need to know, and this comes in handy when the volcano explodes, and the island begins to sink into the sea. Sure enough, Captain Nemo's submarine is still hidden underwater. Hank and Sean, trusting Verne, dive off a high cliff, and while holding their breath and swimming underwater, are able to (1) find the sub, (2) open the hatch by tugging and twisting it, (3) swim inside, (4) push a lever to fill it with air, and (5) get the power generator working by jump-starting it with an electric eel.

This is transcendently goofy. It isn't a "good" movie in the usual sense (or most senses), but it is jolly and good-natured, and Michael Caine and Dwayne Johnson are among the most likable of actors. Johnson is such a good sport, he even shows young Sean how to impress girls by flexing your pecs so quickly that nuts will ricochet off them. I can't think of any reason to pay extra for the 3-D.

Film details, brief synopsis, cast & crew, brad peyton, dwayne johnson, josh hutcherson, michael caine, vanessa hudgens, anthony carlino, technical specs.

Young adventurer Sean receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist--a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean's new stepfather joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter, they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shock waves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

Behind The Scenes Of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

On set with The Rock and co

Heading To Hawaii

Film journalism can be tough. Like when you’re sent on a mission to Hawaii to uncover the secrets of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island . That really smarts. But, professional as ever, Total Film sucked it up and headed to the south side of Oahu island where the cast and crew of Journey 2 were setting up one of the movie’s biggest set pieces with Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson. For this sequel, Brendan Fraser is out of the picture, and Sean Anderson (Hutcherson) goes off on his next adventure with his mum’s new partner, Hank Parsons (Johnson). The pair set out to find Sean’s grandfather (played by returnee Michael Caine), in another riff on a Jules Verne story.

Setting The Scene

The scene that’s currently being shot comes as the mysterious island, an atoll that surfaces in the South Pacific once every 150 years and where the explorers have ended up, is rapidly sinking. The two actors were meant to be doing their own leaping off China Walls (the locals’ nickname for this stretch of coast), but yesterday the production had to be shut down after Hutcherson fell ill and was driven away looking very faint indeed (diagnosis: strep throat) so the young star’s stunt double will take over after close-ups and mid-shots are done. As for Johnson, the film’s panicky producers aren’t in the habit of letting their chunky leading man take too many risks. “If Dwayne so much as stubs his toe, everyone freaks out,” drawls one crew member to Total Film . Looking at the swells below, which look exceedingly dangerous, we reckon the producers’ claim that the actors were going to do their own ocean jumps could be a bit of hyperbole. With plenty of fake plantings and extra brush to beef up the jungle lushness, Hutcherson and Johnson stand on the bluff, gauging the leap below.

Harsh Conditions

Once they’re in the surf, their characters have to swim 100-feet under water to reach the submerged Nautilus submarine (told you this was loosely based on one of Verne’s rollicking adventures). Even though it’s late November, it’s a hot day and the crew's t-shirts are soaked through to a man (and occasional woman). “The sea level’s risen over 100 feet in the last 24 hours!” barks Johnson. Hutcherson, hobbling with the aid of a cane after his character plummeted off the back of a giant bumblebee, replies, “You know, if we die down there, mom’s gonna kills us.” After director Brad Peyton calls cut, the brollies go up to shield the stars from the Hawaiian sun, a lucky make-up girl sponges the sweat off Johnson’s naked scalp and a few Styrofoam rocks are moved around. The man formerly knows as The Rock decides to take a quick comfort break, although the production’s stinking portable conveniences have become a joke on the Journey 2 set. Before heading off, he turns to Total Film and laughs, “This is a $100m movie – we really need better Porta-Potties. Be very careful when you enter one.”

The Extra Dimension

Canadian director Peyton, who moved to LA two years ago, seems to be relishing the challenge of helming a large-scale blockbuster; “If you’re not filming giant lizards, then it’s diving into the ocean to find the Nautilus. There’s giant bees and birds and lizards and storms and helicopter crashes.” This movie is shot in 3D, and it was designed with the extra dimension in mind from inception. “A lot of the jokes and a lot of the action are designed for 3D.” That’s not the only high-tech hurdle to deal with. Some of the action sequences are being shot at 200 frames per second, so you’re going to be getting something coming out of the screen (like spear or some other pointy item) then freezing as the camera tracks around to examine it. “A lot of it is about how do you slow it down and just let it sit there and enjoy that moment,” adds Peyton. So can we expect 3D Bullet-time then? “Yeah it’s close.”

Return Journey

Peyton’s also keen to point out the massive increase in scale compared to the first film, from the scope of the production, to the sets being assembled and the crew that has been hired. “Not to denigrate the first movie but this is a better and more creative team and we’re going to have a much larger scale film.” Were there discussions about Brendan coming back? “It was always known that this film was a different adventure. So the answer is, yes, there was never any intent to have Brendan in this movie,” Peyton explains. “There was talk at one point of having Brendan do a cameo just because it would be fun – Brendan was interested and the studio was interested but story-wise it didn’t work out.” Peyton’s confident that it’s worth the audience taking a return Journey : “First of all, the script itself is better. It’s really more of a male-bonding story, this journey. The script is far superior and therefore the movie will be far superior to the first one.” Seeking solace from the overwhelming island heat, Total Film grabbed some shade for a chat with Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson.

Dwayne Johnson Interview

How does it feel to shoot at home in Hawaii? “It’s fantastic. It’s great to come back home, it’s great to shoot back here. You know, I grew up probably 30 minutes away from here and things were much different back then – for myself. It’s awesome to come back and bring a big movie back here to Hawaii, not only for the local businesses here in Hawaii but for me personally it’s very satisfying.” Does shooting in 3D affect your acting? “First of all, this is my first 3D movie so it’s been a fascinating experience. Does it affect the acting?” Because you’re already 3D yourself… “Thank you for saying that. You’ve known me for a long time, yes. No, I don’t believe it affects the acting, it mainly affects the shot set-ups. We’re the third generation users of Cameron’s 3D technology, we were the first generation with Journey To The Centre Of The Earth . He came by the set and was watching how all of his cameras, his technology was being utilised – and he was the second generation and now we’re the third. So it’s been fascinating.”

Bigger And Better

What was is that made you want to join Journey 2 ? “It was that, it was being part of a successful franchise. I really enjoyed the script and wanted to hopefully come on board and elevate it and make it bigger and better.” As an actor, what’s kind of films do you prefer working on? “Honestly I prefer everything. I’m really fortunate to be in the position that I’m in, to have the type of diverse career that I’ve been able to have, you know, being very comfortable in a lot of these spaces whether it’s adventure like this or action like Faster to a comedy.

"So I like the diversity and I like being able to work in all these different spaces, and I recognise that there’s not a lot of actors who have the opportunities that I have to work in such varied genres. I enjoy all of them. I think ultimately though, something that is part of my make-up is that I like taking care of things so I like that whether it’s in a comedy or an action movie or an adventure movie. Just the guy who may not be great but does get better by the end of the movie and does take care of things. Kicks a lot of ass too. You’ve gotta do that every once in a while.”

Finding Paradise

What about your character? “He’s a fun character to play. He’s an accomplished guy, was in the Navy, built his own business and gets taken on this incredible adventure with his stepson who has already journeyed to the centre of the Earth and is now going to explore, uh, this really cool, iconic Jules Verne novel and gets taken to this ethereal place that he never thought existed – and it does. So it’s been great.” What lost paradise would you like to go back to? “I’d love to go back to the Roman Empire; I would love that.” On the centurion or gladiator side? You could be Spartacus… “I’d love to take a crack at that… I don’t quite know – I would be an infusion of both. A Caesar who was a gladiator and got to compete – and get the girl, of course.”

Relating To Josh

What’s your relationship with Josh like in the movie? “He’s a young man and, like a lot of relationships - whether it’s with your real dad or it’s with your stepdad - oftentimes there’s a struggle to find some cohesiveness and find some balance. So we’re struggling, when we meet up with these two characters, we’re struggling to find that.

"And I was this way – like a lot of teenagers he feels like he knows the road, the path that he’s on, doesn’t necessarily need a lot of help, certainly not from his mom’s new husband. But now having children of my own and having gone through that myself, I know there are some wisdoms and some pearls that I can share so that’s how our relationships starts out. And then we ultimately bond together into a really nice relationship, which I liked.

"That was a point of movies that I like doing is that by the end your central character has just become better people, and they make everybody else around them better.”

Josh Hutcherson Interview

So, after a day off sick yesterday, you’re diving into the water later today? “I think so. We’re jumping off the end of the world into the ocean. I’m looking forward to it. It’s so hot out there and the water’s so nice. Especially on those rocks, because the heat just bakes them and turns them to hot stones and you’re just frying out there.” What happened to your foot? “Basically, I was flying on top of a giant bumblebee and I fell off and I rolled my ankle severely. As you can see we have a makeshift cast thing going on. It was pretty gnarly actually.”

Romantic Relations

What’s the appeal with Journey 2 ? “What’s cool about this cast is we’re all different genres coming together. With Dwayne it’s the action crowd and Luis [ Guzman ] is comedy and Michael Caine is a legend, and then Vanessa [ Hudgens ] is like my age. So it’s nice to have some different people around on set, and especially somebody younger like Vanessa so her and I can get along and hang out and stuff.” Your characters have a bit of romance don’t they? “Oh yeah, definitely. We definitely have a little something, a little something sizzling.” How was Dwayne to work with? “He is awesome. He’s so much fun, he’s so cool. I mean I grew up – when I was younger I used to love watching wrestling and he was The Rock back in the day. But now he’s transitioned over into a full-blown actor which is really awesome and he’s a great actor and he’s great with stunts, so he’s just a really all-round great guy.”

Absent Friends

How has it been shooting in 3D? “The 3D doesn’t really affect anything we have to do as actors. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to set up shots because they have the different special things they have to do with the two lenses. Other than that the biggest challenge for me is not being on the beach the entire time we’re here shooting. It’s so beautiful, you just want to enjoy the surroundings. The other day we were shooting on the most beautiful beach ever and we couldn’t get in the water because we were working all day. So that’s tough.” “The first movie it was like 80% greenscreen, although we got to go Iceland for a few days which was cool. This is like the polar opposite.” Is it strange coming back without the people who were there on the first film? “Um, it’s a little weird. To me it doesn’t feel like it’s at all the same movie. It’s a completely different adventure with a different cast and we’re in a different place.” What do you like to do in your free time? “I surf a ton. I’m always in the water. I love being in the water so much. I surf, work out, eat awesome food and enjoy the sights.”

Production Values

What’s next for you? “I have a couple projects that are on the horizon possibly but three days before I came down here I finished shooting this movie called Detention , which is a horror comedy, it’s a genre film that’s going to be cool. And I produced that as well so that was very exciting.

"It was great because I’ve grown up on sets since I was like nine years old and I’ve learned a lot about every aspect of filmmaking and I’ve always had my ideas and I’ve wanted to say things but I’ve never been in the right position to give my input because it would be out of place. So for the first time I was able to say my feelings about the project and in my opinion [ bring it to a better place ].” Do you think you’d like to direct in future? “Definitely. I love every aspect of filmmaking and I would love to direct something too.”

Getting Involved In The Action

What can you tell us about your adventures in Journey 2 ? “Can’t give away too much but there’s a giant lizard that chases us, giant bumblebees that we fly on. There’s tiny baby elephants that you want to keep as pets. And there’s a submarine that we have to swim down 100 feet and get to and there’s a little monster guarding that so there’s quite a few little adventures we have to go on.” Do you have many underwater scenes? “Yes, the Nautilus scene is the biggest one. We have to swim down a 100 feet and go into the Nautilus and come back up and get the rest of the gang. But I actually had to get certified for scuba diving to do that because we’re going to have to do a lot of underwater breathing and training and stuff like that.” Do you have a stunt tester? “Yeah, Ralph! It’s funny, I love doing my own stunts – I’m like a producer’s worst nightmare because I’m always trying to do my own stunts and they don’t like that. But Ralph is awesome, I’ve done three movies with him now – he’s a good guy.”

Friending Michael Caine

What fantasy journey would you like to take? “Atlantis would be pretty awesome, cos you always hear about the lost city of Atlantis under the water and the fact that in our movie it rises to the surface…? If that actually happened that would be a very cool place to go.” What’s it like working with Michael Caine? “Michael Caine’s a legend. I mean he walks on set and you’re like, Pinch me, that’s Michael Caine standing right there! He’s such a nice guy and it’s weird you’d think that as an 18 year old guy you wouldn’t – not necessarily not get along with him but you don’t think you’d be able to communicate very well with a 77 year old man. But he is hip; he understands what’s going on, he gets it, like he knows all the lingo. He’s down. He’s very sharp for being 77.” You two could be Facebook friends... “Exactly! My mom told me he was twittering the other day! I mean, I don’t even tweet, that’s ridiculous! Michael Caine’s beat me on the tweeting thing? That’s crazy.”

Perks Of The Job

You didn’t really know Vanessa Hudgens well before working with her on this, how do you get along? “We get along great. She’s so much fun to be around, she’s always dancing around and having a good time and joking. We were total goofballs together so it’s a lot of fun having her around.” Are there any other actresses you’d particularly like to do a romantic scene with? “Oh man, there’s so many beautiful actresses. I know it’s kind of ridiculous but I think Eva Mendes is absolutely beautiful. I know she’s like 10 years older than me but a guy can dream, right? It’s the movies, anything’s possible!” Journey 2: The Mysterious Island opens on 3 February 2012.

Everything to Know About Wednesday Season 2

The Jenna Ortega-led series is getting another season and tons of new cast members

Netflix's Wednesday series is coming back for another season!

On Jan. 6, 2023, creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar confirmed the show has been renewed for season 2 in an interview with Tudum.

"It's been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world," they said in a statement. "Thrilled to continue Wednesday's tortuous journey into season two. We can't wait to dive head first into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore. Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn't emptied the pool first."

Based on characters created by Charles Addams, the series follows Jenna Ortega as the titular Wednesday Addams as she attempts to solve a monster mystery at her new school, Nevermore Academy.

With Tim Burton attached as executive producer and a number of A-list stars including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán and former Wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci , the show has been highly anticipated since it was first announced in 2021 .

Following the highly successful season 1 premiere, the showrunners and cast have already teased a handful of details about their plans for the new season.

From the returning cast to the new characters who could join, here's everything to know about the second season of Wednesday .

Warning: spoilers for Wednesday season 1 ahead!

Which cast members are returning for Wednesday season 2?

Ortega is slated to reprise her titular character alongside Joy Sunday , Emma Myers,  Hunter Doohan , Moosa Mostafa, Victor Dorobantu,  Catherine Zeta-Jones ,  Luis Guzmán , Isaac Ordonez and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo.

Which cast members are not returning for Wednesday season 2?

As Netflix confirmed the official cast list for season 2 in May 2024, Deadline reported that Percy Hynes White, Jamie McShane and Naomi J Ogawa would not be back as series regulars. The outlet added that only McShane is slated to reprise his role as Sheriff Donovan Galpin as a guest star to wrap up his character's storyline.

In an interview with TVLine, Gough and Millar revealed that they would love to include even more Addams family characters in season 2. "We felt like we just touched the surface with those characters and the actors are so amazing in those roles," co-showrunner Millar said.

While the show's primary focus will still be on Wednesday in a second season, they added that they "definitely want to feature the family as we did this season in a couple of episodes."

During Tudum: A Global Fan Event in June 2023, the cast further teased that fans will see more of Wednesday’s family in the new season as they recounted various fan theories.

In May 2024, Netflix announced that several notable stars would be joining the cast , including Steve Buscemi , Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor as series regulars.

Guest stars include  Joanna Lumley ,  Thandiwe Newton , Frances O’Connor,  Haley Joel Osment , Heather Matarazzo, Joonas Suotamo and  Christopher Lloyd , who played Uncle Fester in 1991’s  The Addams Family .

What will Wednesday season 2 be about?

While an official synopsis for the new season hasn't been revealed yet, the showrunners previously revealed that they plan to delve even more into Wednesday's growth as a character.

"The series is really about a girl who sees the world in black and white, and learning there are shades of gray," Gough told TVLine . "I think like any relationship or any friendship, it can get complicated by other factors. It's never going to be smooth sailing. And it's really her learning to navigate the ups and downs of friendship."

During a conversation with Elle Fanning for Variety ‘s Actors on Actors , Ortega added that the show is also "ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday" in the new season. “We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more,” Ortega added. “Because it is so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously.”

In an interview with 1883 , Emma Myers, who plays Enid on the show, shared her hopes that her character would find her confidence in the new episodes.

"She’s finally grown into her wolf abilities, and I would like to see her use that instead of being scared and upset by it. I would love to see her be an instigator in things instead of just being dragged along with it," Myers said.

When does Wednesday season 2 film?

On May 7, 2024, Netflix confirmed that production for season 2 was underway as they posted a photo of the cast on set.

Will there be a Wednesday season 3?

Speaking with Variety, Millar revealed that they have a few seasons already mapped out for the show. "For us, it's always looking at the future, and when we sit down to create a show, it's looking at multiple seasons, ideally," he explained.

"That's never expected, but that's the anticipation that hopefully the show is successful. So you always lay out at least three or four seasons' worth of potential storylines for the characters. It can evolve and change," he said, adding, "We certainly have a pretty clear runway of what we want to do in future seasons."

1000-lb sisters: 12 ways tammy slaton's life has changed since losing 400 pounds (incredible weight loss milestones), 90 day fiancé's michael ilesanmi teases new woman in his life after angela deem split.

• Julia Haart's post-filming life is filled with legal battles, as she sued her estranged husband Silvio Scaglia for millions.
• Julia published a book detailing her life journey, from her childhood to becoming a successful designer and creative director.
• Despite her divorce drama, Julia maintains strong relationships with her kids and supports feminist causes.

My Unorthodox Life season 2 has come and gone, and there's curiosity surrounding Julia Haart's post-filming life . Most of the show's second season focused on the upheavals that Julia faced in her marriage with Silvio Scaglia, whom she wed in 2019. They were navigating a messy split. During the season, Julia touched on Silvio's allegedly turbulent relationships with her kids, Batsheva Haart, Shlomo Haart, Miriam Haart, and Aron Hendler.

Besides Julia and Silvio's split, My Unorthodox Life s eason 2 also focused on her losing her job at Silvio's modeling and talent agency, Elite World Group. Silvio fired Julia from her job as CEO, alleging that she misappropriated company funds and abused her position. However, Julia, who was shocked by Silvio's actions, denied the allegations. She has maintained her innocence.

Although the show's second season shed more light on Julia and Silvio's divorce, it was filmed between January 31, 2022, and April 12, 2022.

Julia's Lawsuits Against Silvio

Julia haart & silvio scaglia went to war.

After Silvio fired her, Julia filed a lawsuit claiming that he named her Elite World Group's co-owner, following their marriage in 2009. Therefore, Julia claimed that she owned 50% of the company. However, in May 2022, a judge ruled that Julia didn't own that portion of the firm. In July 2022, Julia filed another lawsuit , suing her estranged husband for $257 million. She also accused him of bullying and abusing her. Yet again, a judge dismissed the case, but gave Julia exclusive use of her and Silvio's shared penthouse, which features in My Unorthodox Life.

Julia Published A Book After Season 2 Filming Wrapped

Julia haart shared her fascinating life journey with readers.

Although Julia was entangled in messy legal problems, she kept busy, as she was preparing her book for publication. Eventually, in April 2022, she published Brazen: My Unorthodox Journey From Long Sleeves To Lingerie . The book details the first half of Julia's life, focusing on her childhood, her married life in Monsey, and how she left the community. It also delved into her designing her shoe line and becoming a creative director at the luxury intimates brand, La Perla.

Julia & Silvio's Divorce Battle Is Still Raging

Silvio scaglia is engaged to another woman.

When Julia and Silvio's intense battle over the ownership of Elite World Group was happening, they had yet to finalize their divorce. Today, they're still entangled thanks to a fierce battle over their penthouse. See her talk about her divorce in the clip shown above. During a December 2022 chat with The Times of Israel , Julia revealed that she appealed in Delaware, and filed defamation and fraud lawsuits against Silvio. She added,

I feel very confident about my fraud lawsuit. But in the meanwhile, since we're fighting about control of EWG and I don't have access to it, I realized I don't want to sit still.

The judge dismissed both of Julia's lawsuits. She was given the right to live in the penthouse, but Silvio was declared the true owner of Elite World Group. Julia was surely very disappointed by those decisions, but maybe some part of her saw it coming. She's a bright woman who likely realized that she was going to lose in court. Some of her legal strategies may have been PR moves.

Meanwhile, her ex has moved on with another woman. Silvio is engaged to Michelle-Marie Heinemann. The blonde woman is a fixture at elite social events where moneyed people gather to play. Since she's a socialite, Michelle-Marie may have a lot of time to devote to her mate. On the show, Julia was always busy. Sometimes, spending time with Silvio wasn't exactly her top priority. He'd get frustrated because he wanted one-on-one time with her. See Michelle-Marie 's post with Silvio above, as per her Instagram - the two look very happy as they enjoy Tuscany.

Julia & Batsheva Are Going To Therapy

Julia haart has a strong bond with batsheva.

Amid her marital issues and lawsuits, Julia ensures that her relationships with her kids are good. Evidence from Julia's Instagram page shows that she and Batsheva have continued going to therapy. The mother-daughter duo also attended Moët & Chandon's 'Your Voices' Holiday Celebration. In addition, Julia adds other candid moments with her daughter. One post showed her and Batsheva making Tzatziki. Julia also spent time with her kids during Thanksgiving, and shared a cute snap of them on her Instagram page.

What Happened To Julia Haart's Fancy Penthouse?

Did julia haart hold on to the glitzy abode.

No divorce is easy, but Julia and Silvio's is particularly acrimonious, and one thing they're still fighting over is a really, really luxurious Big Apple penthouse. It's situated at 70 Vestry Street in the city that never sleeps. The building's shown above, as per 70vestrynyc at Instagram. As of March 2024, according to Wealth Advisor , Silvio's lender JP Morgan Chase wants what is owed on the property, which is a cool 33 million dollars. When Silvio purchased the condo, it cost 55 million bucks.

There's big equity in the property, and it's unclear who keeps that money, but it's probably Silvio, based on court decisions to date.

According to the publication, Julia never made mortgage payments while living in the condo after her split. The place is sumptuous, with a gallery, a couple of kitchens and a gorgeous terrace. The glam abode was meant to be a haven for one-percenters, but Julia may not be flush with cash. She appears to believe that the mortgage payments are her ex's responsibility. It's quite possible that she can't afford to make those payments without SIlvio's help, although there's currently no proof of this.

This year, the courts need to decide what happens with the penthouse and when they do, this article will be updated. For now, the fate of the blue-chip property is hanging in the balance. Julia surely wants to keep her home, but the amount owing on the condo is major. So, she may well lose the right to live there.

Julia Haart's Having Fun Again In 2024

Julia haart made matzah bry in support of israel.

Lately, Julia's been very political on Instagram, showing vehement support for Israel amid its controversial conflict with Hamas. Before she began posting heated opinions about this, the proud Jewish woman honored her heritage (and supported Israel) by taking the Matzah Challenge, as seen in Julia's Instagram post (it's shown above).

Jewish cuisine is often irresistible and when Julia started throwing butter in the pan, things soon became tantalizing. To basic Matzah that she smushed up, she added salt, eggs, milk and pepper. After mixing those ingredients in a bowl, she poured them in a pan. Then, she cooked a treat that she and her daughter could enjoy. Julia seems quite adept in the kitchen. She's a woman with many talents and so much charisma. While she hasn't won in court so far, she has plenty to play for.

My Unorthodox Life star Julia's shapewear company is still active in 2024, and her experience in the lingerie business may ensure that Body by Julia Haart thrives over the long term. However, with Julia, everything's always unpredictable. This fiery Aries woman crackles with energy - Julia's electric. However, her plans have fallen through in the past. Hopefully, she'll be able to build the kind of success that gives her true security. What's a certainty is the fact that Julia will never stop fighting for her own happiness.

In addition to spending time with her kids, Julia from My Unorthodox Life is always supporting feminist causes - this is admirable. She's been through a lot and handled the difficulties bravely. Now, she's focusing on selling lingerie so glam it can be worn on dates or to the club (yes, without anything on top). Julia is staying focused on achieving her goals, and she is certainly an exciting reality star.
