For years, movies and shows based on video games weren’t known for being very good – they often failed to live up to the quality of the original games. But recently, especially with TV series, things have dramatically improved. Shows like The Last of Us and Fallout have shown that video game adaptations can actually be excellent.
The show Reacher consistently delivers on its promise of thrilling action, making it hard to dislike. Like the books it’s based on, the Prime Video series has everything you’d expect – from cheesy lines to impressive fight scenes where Reacher easily defeats his opponents. The show’s central mysteries are also consistently engaging.
Timothée Chalamet was widely expected to win Best Actor for his performance in Marty Supreme, but Robert Armaryo took home the award for I Swear. This came as a surprise to many, especially since Leonardo DiCaprio, another frontrunner, also didn’t win. While Armaryo isn’t eligible for an Academy Award until the 99th ceremony, this unexpected win raises questions about whether Chalamet’s chances of winning an Oscar could be jeopardized by a similar upset.
Steve Carell is known for his comedic talent, and his most popular work often highlights that. However, in the last ten years, he’s taken on more serious roles in television.

The movie Jennifer’s Body will be available to stream on Starz next month. It’s currently available for rent or purchase on other platforms, but will soon join Starz’s collection of popular films like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, War of the Worlds, and Sweet Home Alabama.
Among all of Mike Flanagan’s work on Netflix, his adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s classic novel is truly exceptional. The Haunting of Hill House follows traditional horror tropes but is also incredibly creative and visually stunning. It’s largely responsible for the current wave of high-quality horror series on television.
Ultimately, figuring out how an audience will react to a movie is more about intuition than precise prediction. Even experienced industry professionals can’t always tell if a film will be a hit or miss. Everyone involved – the large teams working for months or even years – wants to create something successful, and a lot is on the line. But if viewers don’t connect with a movie, even significant effort and large budgets can’t save it. Not every film is a good representation of Bollywood, and some major productions simply don’t perform well. Here’s a list of 20 of Bollywood’s biggest box office disappointments.
As of February 22nd, both The Addams Family and The Addams Family 2 are performing very well on Netflix’s global Top 10 list. The Addams Family 2 is currently in second place, and The Addams Family is in third, according to data from FlixPatrol.
