I’ve noticed a trend lately where superhero movies seem to be getting really long. Think about it – from films like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice all the way to Eternals, there’s a lot of content to take in. And honestly, not all of it sticks the landing. Some of these movies just don’t resonate with audiences the way filmmakers hope.
Spotify is now rolling out a “Verified by Spotify” badge to help confirm that artists and creators are genuine people, not bots or fake accounts.
Rialto Pictures and STUDIOCANAL are re-releasing James Cameron’s classic film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, in theaters.

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Muni Fast Pass” has arrived, featuring a bold color combination of “Lightning” and “Denim Turquoise.” It stands out with its sharp, high-contrast design.
Tom Hanks was clearly influenced by Saving Private Ryan, a film celebrated for its realistic and powerful depiction of war. His new 20-hour documentary series goes further in detail than the movie could, exploring the entire scope of World War II and offering a more complete picture of the conflict that Saving Private Ryan first brought to life in 1998.
Gollum’s life was completely transformed when he found the One Ring. Over centuries, he changed from the creature known as Smeagol into Gollum. Through his conversations – both with himself and others – we get a glimpse into what drives him. With The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum coming out on December 17, 2027, now is a good time to revisit some of his most important lines.
Early mecha anime such as Tetsujin 28/Gigantor, Mazinger Z, and Giant Robo laid the groundwork for the genre. Mobile Suit Gundam then popularized it, and more recent shows like Code Geass and SSSS.Gridman continue to keep mecha anime popular today. While these series are incredibly influential, they aren’t perfect. Creating a truly great mecha story is challenging, but these anime manage to do it seamlessly.
Jennifer Lopez’s performance is a highlight of the film and many think it deserved Oscar attention. Now that the movie—which is similar in style to Goodfellas—is available on Tubi, it’s clear this is her best acting work to date.
Attempts to continue The Matrix beyond the original film have unfortunately missed the mark. The Matrix Reloaded tries to do too much with its plot, becoming confusing and lacking in depth, though it does feature some impressive action. The Matrix Revolutions offers a disappointing end to the trilogy, relying on a contrived plot device to resolve a major issue. And The Matrix Resurrections, released after a long hiatus, doesn’t feel like a true Matrix film. Directed by only one of the original creators, it has clumsy action, overly obvious self-references, and doesn’t add anything meaningful to the story beyond some criticisms of the studio.
