Later this month, subscribers will no longer be able to watch a popular collection of movies, including titles like Inception, Spider-Man, Little Miss Sunshine, and Ex Machina, the impressive first film directed by Alex Garland. Garland is a Hollywood writer with decades of experience, best known for writing 28 Days Later, and Ex Machina is a fantastic debut for a first-time director.
A recent trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming fantasy film debuted at CinemaCon, offering more information about Odysseus’s long journey home. The movie, based on the classic Greek story The Odyssey, stars Matt Damon as Odysseus and follows his adventures with his crew after the Trojan War.
Simu Liu’s spy thriller series on Peacock has been canceled, according to Variety. The show, which released all eight episodes of its first season in late December, is being removed from the streaming service after less than four months.
The first season of Daredevil: Born Again received a generally positive reaction when it launched, though some viewers weren’t fans. It was clear the show had undergone significant changes during production. The creative team shifted direction, turning it into a sequel to the previous Daredevil series on Netflix. Originally, the show was planned as a lighter, legal-focused drama with less violence and a completely different set of characters.
Even though the story changed for Season 2, many of the same people worked behind the scenes, including director and producer Jake Schreier. Schreier directed all eight episodes of the new season, and while the storyline was different, he aimed to subtly maintain the elements that made Season 1 so popular. Viewers might not even notice these connections, but they’re there.
I absolutely loved this legal drama on Netflix! With just 18 episodes spread across three seasons, it’s the perfect length for a really immersive binge – I finished it over a week, including the weekend. Each episode is about 40 to 57 minutes long, and a whole season takes around 4 hours to watch, so you could easily see it all in three sessions. What really drew me in, though, was the setting – it’s set in beautiful, late 19th-century Turin, Italy. If you enjoyed other period dramas on Netflix like Death By Lightning, The Crown, or The Queen’s Gambit, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!
As a huge fan of action thrillers, I’ve noticed a pattern with Alan Ritchson’s Jack Reacher: he always wanders into some new trouble – a town with hidden crime, a crooked police department, or a shady operation. He’s this incredibly capable ex-military guy who just gets pulled into these situations and has to fight his way out. It’s a formula that really works, and honestly, I think a spin-off focusing on Roscoe Neagley could take things to the next level.
RPG fans have a mix of news today. The online RPG Book of Travels, currently in early access, will be taken offline soon. However, players will have one last chance to experience the game’s online features before the servers close.
Most Star Wars fans likely know about Force ghosts – spirits of Jedi who have passed on – and what they can do. Though these spirits have unique abilities and influence beyond what living Jedi possess, that doesn’t make them more powerful. It feels unfair that a character initially claimed they were in the first movie, especially since later films have shown that wasn’t true.
The medical drama ‘Doc’ on Fox is getting a significant cast change before its third season, with some actors leaving and new faces joining the show.
