The film Misery showcases one of the most famous horror characters ever, brought to life by the incredible Kathy Bates. It’s a surprisingly intense story about how obsessive fandom can become dangerous. What makes Annie Wilkes so terrifying is that she initially seems kind and even charming.
Netflix’s new action movie stars Alan Ritchson, known from Reacher, as he battles a powerful robot enemy. The film also features a strong supporting cast with Dennis Quaid, Esai Morales, and Jai Courtney. War Machine blends sci-fi elements with traditional military action, bringing to mind films like Predator. However, even though they’re facing an alien threat, Ritchson and his team have a tougher fight than Arnold Schwarzenegger did in Predator.

The Academy Award for Best Original Score hasn’t been divided into separate categories since 1999, and it’s unlikely to happen again.

As a lifelong movie lover, I’ve always been fascinated by the Oscars, but looking back at Best Picture winners, it’s striking how many haven’t really lasted. They feel like they were the right movie for the right moment, instead of true cinematic masterpieces.

It makes you wonder: is the Best Picture category fundamentally flawed, and if it is, how do we actually fix it?
As a huge fan of Alan Moore’s comics, I know he’s generally pretty resistant to seeing his work turned into movies. While he wasn’t completely opposed to the film version of V for Vendetta – not like he was with Watchmen – he still felt it strayed too much from the core story and, more importantly, the political ideas that drove it. It’s interesting to think that if someone were to revisit that story now, after everything that’s happened in the last two decades, they could really explore some current issues in a new and unexpected way.
Since its release on December 5th, Spartacus: House of Ashur quickly became popular on Starz, topping the streaming charts. Now, according to FlixPatrol, the series seems to be losing momentum, even before Starz has officially announced whether there will be a second season.
