Viewers have recently enjoyed seeing Michael Thornton in Landman, but he actually started working with Taylor Sheridan on another project beforehand. He previously teamed up with Sam Elliott, his co-star from Tombstone, in the Western drama 1883. However, five years later, many are beginning to forget Thornton’s part in that Yellowstone prequel, likely because his role wasn’t very extensive.
I was really digging through the latest box office numbers from Japan, and it’s fascinating! The Motion Picture Producers Association just released the official figures for last year (December 2024 to November 2025), and it turns out only 38 Japanese films managed to pull in over 1 billion yen. What’s even more interesting is that anime dominated – 14 of those big earners were actually anime movies! It really shows how popular anime is in Japan.
Throughout the series, the true identity of young Egg remained a mystery, but this episode confirmed what many viewers had guessed: he is one of the lost sons of Prince Maekar Targaryen I. He was forced to reveal himself when Aerion attempted to harm Dunk for protecting Tanselle the Tall. Before this reveal, Dunk and Egg encountered a mysterious fortune-teller whose words deeply disturbed Egg. Though A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has generally been seen as a story focused on action rather than magic, this prophecy suggests there’s more to the tale than meets the eye.
Now streaming on Prime Video, The Bluff offers a fresh take on pirate stories, moving beyond traditional tales of treasure and battles at sea. Produced by and directed by Frank E. Flowers, the film trades in the usual lightheartedness for a more realistic and intense portrayal. With Priyanka Chopra Jonas delivering a powerful performance as a hardened female pirate, it reimagines the classic high-seas adventure for modern audiences.
I recently read an interview with Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios, and she pretty much confirmed what fans are hoping for: Alan Ritchson will continue playing Jack Reacher for as long as he wants! She told The Hollywood Reporter back in 2024 that there are no plans to end the series with him in the lead – she’s hoping for many, many more seasons. Ritchson himself has echoed that sentiment, saying he’s committed to the show for the long haul. As we get ready for Season 4, it’s fantastic to hear this, but honestly, it also makes me a little sad to think about a world without new Reacher episodes eventually!
As a movie fan, I really enjoyed Triple Frontier. It stars a fantastic cast – Pedro Pascal, Charlie Hunnam, Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, and Garrett Hedlund – playing former Delta Force guys who decide to pull off a heist targeting a dangerous drug lord. It’s a thrilling ride because, naturally, things don’t go as planned and they’re forced to fight for their lives. It actually had a limited theatrical release in March 2019, but most people probably saw it when it hit Netflix shortly after.
Drasa and Levi must work together to keep dangerous, mutated creatures contained within a massive chasm called The Gorge. Though they aren’t allowed to speak to each other at first, they form a connection across the divide. Despite a promising story and strong performances from the leads, The Gorge doesn’t quite deliver, falling flat due to underdeveloped characters and an unexpected, disappointing ending.
According to Tudum, a second season of Untamed is already being filmed. The first season launched on July 17, 2025, and quickly became a hit with viewers.
The third Avatar movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, came out on December 19, 2025, and had the second-highest opening weekend of any film in the series. However, it only stayed at the top of the box office for five weeks before being overtaken by Chris Pratt’s Mercy. This was less than the previous Avatar films, which each stayed at No. 1 for seven weeks.
He also had a part in the 2022 Hulu miniseries, Under the Banner of Heaven. This crime drama features him as Detective Jeb Pyre, a police officer in Utah who investigates a case that challenges his beliefs as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
