As a total movie buff, I was checking FlixPatrol and noticed something interesting – Days of Thunder is currently the fourth most popular movie on Paramount+ in the US! And it’s not the only Robert Duvall film seeing a resurgence after his passing. Apparently, people are revisiting his classic roles, and another one of his movies has popped back into the Top 10 on Paramount+. Of course, a lot of us remember him as Tom Hagen, a key member of the Corleone family in The Godfather films, and it’s lovely to see so many people appreciating his work again.

The new trailer for ‘THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU’ has been released.

A popular sci-fi series, originally launched 39 years ago, has become a global phenomenon thanks to Disney+.

Voidling Bound is a new creature-collecting game created by developers formerly of the Skylanders team. Set in a vast, open-world sci-fi setting, players will explore an alien planet, capturing and evolving unique creatures known as Voidlings.

Paramount announced in April 2024 that they are making an R-rated movie based on ‘The Last Ronin’ comic book. Tyler Burton Smith is writing the script, and Ilya Naishuller is likely to direct. The film will be set in a different future timeline and will follow the last surviving turtle on a quest for revenge, targeting the grandson of the Shredder, his family’s old enemy.

Robert Duvall had an incredibly decorated career, winning an Oscar, four Golden Globes, two Emmys, a BAFTA, and numerous other awards. He began to slow down his work in the 2020s, taking on fewer roles. His last two performances were in 2022, in two excellent Netflix films that deserved wider recognition.

During an appearance on the SmartLess podcast (as reported by The Playlist), Chris Hemsworth discussed his future as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Avengers: Doomsday. He didn’t reveal any details about the upcoming film, but confirmed he’s signed on for “a couple more” Marvel movies. It seems he and Marvel Studios are developing some “unique” plans to bring Thor back, and he’s expected to appear in Secret Wars, which is scheduled to start filming this year. However, Hemsworth hinted that he might even get another standalone Thor movie in the future.

This HBO series is a prequel to Game of Thrones, telling the story of Ser Duncan (Dunk), a kind but imposing knight, and his intelligent young apprentice, Egg. They journey across the land of Westeros, and the show is based on George R. R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg novels. The cast includes Peter Claffey as Dunk, Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, and Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonal Baratheon.

Horror movies set in cities often focus on the fear of crime, but those set in small towns tap into the loss of innocence. The best horror filmmakers use these settings to create scary stories that also offer a critique of small-town life. Small towns, with their hidden histories, are ripe for exploration in the horror genre.
