Stanley Kubrick is now celebrated for iconic films such as The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, but he spent years honing his craft to achieve this level of success. He was a dedicated student of film, constantly analyzing the work of other great directors. In fact, a list of 93 films that Kubrick considered the best ever exists, and he particularly admired The Godfather, a 1972 release.
The Sonic movies gave the characters a chance to follow story paths similar to those in the games, and Dr. Robotnik’s transformation was a great example. He evolved from a dedicated scientist into a villain completely fixated on Sonic, and ultimately made a heroic sacrifice. Now that time travel is introduced, a particular version of Eggman could potentially return.
The first season of Shrinking debuted on Apple TV in January 2023 to widespread critical acclaim. A second season followed in October 2024, proving equally popular, and leading to immediate confirmation of a third season. Season 3 premiered on January 28, 2026, and has continued the show’s success. Despite being available for a while, Shrinking is only now, in March 2026, becoming a nationwide phenomenon.
The popular video game series is continuing with an adaptation of the second half of The Last of Us Part II, focusing on the character of Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever.

I’ve noticed that Bandai is releasing four classic Gundam model kits again, plus a brand new one. What’s really cool is that they’re all designed to look like the Gundams after they’ve been ‘depowered’ in the anime – meaning they have a more subdued color scheme that really makes the intricate details and weapons stand out. If you’re a fan, you can pre-order them now to complete your collection with these unique versions.
The new horror film, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, hits theaters this weekend. Picking up right after the events of the first movie, it follows Grace MacCaullay (Samara Weaving), who is once again forced to play a dangerous game of Hide and Seek. This time, she’s not only trying to survive, but also avoid other competing families and protect her sister, who has now been thrown into the deadly game as well.
As Grace struggles to recall his purpose, he quickly understands the immense importance of his mission. He soon encounters another alien, a rocky creature he nicknames Rocky. The story beautifully unfolds as a tale of friendship and selflessness, because Project Hail Mary focuses just as much on the bond between Grace and Rocky as it does on their quest to save Earth from a strange, star-eating organism. Directed by Lord and Miller, with a script by Drew Goddard, the film is a surprisingly emotional and grand space adventure that culminates in an unexpected conclusion.
The season finale of The Pitt saw Emma tasked with checking on a patient named Curtis. He’d been sedated after being brought in following an incident involving a golf club. When Curtis woke up, he was confused, agitated, and couldn’t remember how he ended up in the hospital.
