This movie is a fast-paced action thriller that also feels like a return to the classic action films of the past – the kind Hollywood doesn’t produce much anymore. It reunited Mark Wahlberg with director Antoine Fuqua, who delivered another excellent action movie, Shooter, six years after their acclaimed film Training Day. Now, you can watch Shooter for free on Tubi this March.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by anime with many episodes, especially if you’re not sure you’ll like it. That’s where shorter, one-season anime come in handy – they’re a great way to explore different kinds of stories without a huge time commitment.
The TV series Wayward Pines is adapted from Blake Crouch’s Pines novels. It’s known for its detailed and fascinating backstory, and its overall style feels similar to The Twilight Zone. The pilot episode, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, really captures that Twilight Zone feeling, and is enjoyable even if you don’t continue watching the rest of the show.
Sam Raimi’s latest film, Send Help, is receiving rave reviews, scoring 94% on Rotten Tomatoes – just slightly higher than his acclaimed Spider-Man 2. The movie is also doing well financially, earning more than twice its production cost.

In December 2020, Showtime premiered Your Honor, starring Bryan Cranston, along with Isiah Whitlock Jr., Michael Stuhlbarg, and Hunter Doohan. The show was inspired by the Israeli series Kvodo. Cranston’s portrayal of Walter White in the early seasons of Breaking Bad showed him as a typical family man who, after receiving a cancer diagnosis, desperately tried to provide for his family’s future. The series then followed his transformation into a powerful drug lord controlling a criminal empire.
As a huge fan of the post-apocalyptic genre, I’ve noticed the really good TV shows always bring something fresh to the table. Whether it’s a zombie outbreak, a devastating virus, or some other crazy event, the best ones nail the balance between compelling characters, genuinely scary threats, and these incredibly bleak, but beautiful, worlds. From massive hits like The Last of Us to shows that deserve way more attention, like Sweet Tooth, here’s what I think are the top post-apocalyptic series out there right now.
“Blink of an Eye” perfectly captures what makes Star Trek so successful: its ability to combine believable science with heartfelt stories.

Directed by the acclaimed David Cronenberg, the film features Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, who would both become major stars. It’s widely considered a defining classic of the horror genre.
If you look beyond the most popular shows, you’ll discover hidden gems like Scream: The TV Series. This collaboration between MTV and Dimension Television premiered in 2015, four years after Scream 4 seemed to wrap up the original movie series with an interesting take on horror remakes. While the TV series didn’t quite replicate the films’ self-aware style, it delivered a compelling take on the classic slasher genre.
