In 2015, Vice Media mogul Shane Smith and his wife Tamyka paid $23 million to purchase Santa Monica’s Villa Ruchello estate from filmmaker Henry Jaglom and his ex-wife, actress-director Victoria Foyt. Now, the Smiths have officially sold the stunning 3.35-acre spread — featured in the film Beverly Hills Cop and comedy series Entourage — for $48.67 million. And though that’s $2 million less than the eye-popping $50 million price tag the couple placed on the Mediterranean-style compound back in early February, it’s still an all-time record for L.A.’s Westside communities of Santa Monica, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades.
Jaglom and Foyt picked up the compound in 1994 for almost $3.2 million, and first put it up for sale at $29.5 million, around the time of their 2013 divorce. Originally built in 1932, the 14,000-square-foot dwelling had since become somewhat rundown. It underwent a multimillion-dollar, Kerry Joyce-designed revamp during the Smiths’ tenure there, however, with careful attention paid...

Thanks to the mainstream explosion of snarky adult-oriented animation, grown-ups no longer need to dream up creative excuses to spend all day in front of cartoons, which is nice.

"Deja Vu" is one of Henry Jaglom's more accessible and least self-indulgent efforts, but that doesn't make it any more tolerable.
The tale of two people who meet and discover that they have an all-consuming love for each other, the film is a hyper-romantic exercise that audiences will find touching or cloying, depending on their degree of cynicism.
With characters who say things like "Jump into life" and "Take it easy, take some herbs", the movie at least it has the benefit of not starring the filmmaker himself.
Jaglom's wife, Victoria Foyt, co-wrote the screenplay and stars as Dana, an American traveling abroad while preparing to join her fiance Alex Michael Brandon) in London. In Jerusalem, she meets a mysterious older woman (Aviva Marks) who tells her an involved story about a long-lost love. When the woman leaves her antique ruby pin behind, Dana attempts to return it by leaving it at the Paris jewelry shop where it was purchased many years earlier.
Traveling through Dover, Dana then has an unsettling encounter with an artist, Sean (Stephen Dillane), to whom she feels an instant, definitive attraction. He returns the sentiment and, after much kissing and talk about destiny and the inevitability of love, the pair reluctantly part. They meet again at the London country home where Dana and Alex are staying when Sean suddenly appears by coincidence. It turns out that he's married to Claire (Glynis Barber), a hard-talking set designer.
Among other characters who figure prominently are Dana and Alex's hosts (played by Noel Harrison and Anna Massey) and a free-spirited woman, Skelly (Vanessa Redgrave, looking luminous), whose passionate advice to Dana to cast caution to the wind gives her the courage to follow her heart.
"Deja Vu", more plot-driven than Jaglom's usual talkathons, harkens back to the romanticism of '40s era weepies such as "Brief Encounter", with supernatural overtones. It features an extensive array of period songs on the soundtrack, from Sinatra to repeated renditions of "The White Cliffs of Dover", which figures prominently in the story and is filled with endless philosophical ruminations about the meaning of love and destiny.
There are times when one can't help but get caught up in the film's romantic sweep, with certain scenes capturing a passionate intensity not often found in today's hard-edged cinema. But the effect is repeatedly undercut by the pretentious, stilted dialogue, which defies even the best efforts by the skilled cast.
