Everyone is excited for the movie Avengers: Doomsday, and the show Daredevil: Born Again continues to be a hit, pushing boundaries in the superhero genre and topping streaming lists. Plus, Prime Video recently concluded its popular The Boys series, which has been a critical and financial success.
Though the final season of the show felt a little weaker and spent too much time building towards a spin-off instead of finishing the existing storylines, it remains a landmark series in the superhero genre. Now that it’s over, a new show is quickly gaining popularity on Netflix and taking its place.
After spending an impressive 50 days as the most-watched title on Starz, The Housemaid has been overtaken by Jason Statham’s new film, Shelter. Shelter premiered on Starz on May 22nd and quickly rose to the top spot, according to data from FlixPatrol.
The finale of The Boys featured a surprising twist involving Black Noir, though it wasn’t what fans expected. Throughout the series, the show has diverged from the original comic books, and the final episode continued that trend while still maintaining the core storyline. The climax saw Butcher battle and kill Homelander, but then decide that all Supes needed to be eliminated – a decision that ultimately led Hughie to kill Butcher himself.
It’s unusual for a movie that initially failed at the box office, like Battleship, to become popular again years later, but it’s currently climbing the charts on Prime Video. Battleship became available on Prime Video in the US on May 1, 2026, meaning many viewers are likely discovering it for the first time. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the movie – based on the classic board game – does have some redeeming qualities.
During World War II, a team of heroes united to protect freedom around the world. They fought against the Nazi regime and its allies, and included original versions of characters like the Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and Doctor Fate. Despite changes to their story over the years, they remained a consistent force for good.
It takes real courage for actors to play themselves on TV, especially when they exaggerate their own personality. Some, like the late James Van Der Beek in Don’t Trust The B In Apartment 23, do it for an extended period. Others make quick, funny cameos as themselves, often playfully mocking how the public sees them. These kinds of guest appearances, where actors poke fun at their own image, have often been surprisingly satisfying to watch in recent years.
Directed by David Leitch and inspired by the graphic novel The Coldest City, Atomic Blonde features Charlize Theron as Lorraine Broughton, a top MI6 spy. She’s sent to Berlin near the end of the Cold War with a dangerous mission: to retrieve a crucial list of intelligence and expose a mole. The film combines the excitement of spy stories with intense, realistic fight scenes, and was celebrated for its distinctive, vibrant visual style and creatively choreographed action.
The Star Wars sequel trilogy had more than just a few issues. The overall story felt disjointed, largely because there wasn’t a clear plan from the beginning. J.J. Abrams’ The Force Awakens raised many questions but didn’t provide satisfying answers. Rian Johnson was then brought in to try and resolve these issues with The Last Jedi. However, when Abrams returned for The Rise of Skywalker, he dramatically changed Johnson’s direction, most notably by suddenly making Rey a Palpatine – a twist that felt unearned and surprising.
It’s hard to beat the classic Western Tombstone, but a handful of films manage to do so, often by offering a grander scope or more compelling characters. These movies predate the peak popularity of Western stars like Kurt Russell, Clint Eastwood, and John Wayne, yet they prove how timeless and captivating gunslinger stories can be. They’re all essential viewing and, arguably, even better than the already excellent Tombstone.
