Mark Wahlberg played John Bennett in the first two Ted movies, a laid-back guy whose childhood dream of a living teddy bear came true, leading to a lasting friendship with Ted. After the second movie wasn’t as well-received as the first, the series took a break. It later returned with a new show focusing on John and Ted as teenagers.
Many classic horror films from the 1950s reflected anxieties about the Cold War and the threat of nuclear disaster. However, some of these movies tapped into deeper, more timeless fears – like what happens when nature turns against us, supernatural forces become evil, or our everyday lives are completely disrupted. Here are five films from that era that still resonate with audiences today.
Turning God of War into a Metroidvania is a daring idea, but it works well, because God of War: Sons of Sparta is a quality game. While it’s not quite as strong as some of the best Metroidvanias out there, it’s still a solid title.
The action movie Skyscraper, starring Dwayne Johnson, is now available on Tubi as of March 1st. In the film, Johnson plays a former FBI agent who has to save his family from a burning skyscraper in Hong Kong – the world’s tallest building – after a group of terrorists sets it ablaze and tries to blackmail the building’s owner.
Even though a few episodes aren’t as strong, Black Mirror is still one of the best sci-fi shows out there, and rightfully so. The series is a brilliant, unsettling look at how humans use and are affected by new technology, offering insightful and often eerily accurate commentary on our future.
The official website for Spider-Man: Brand New Day (spidermanbrandnewday.movie) is now live, although it currently leads to the Sony Pictures website. This has led fans to believe that marketing for the film, including the first trailer, will be released very soon.
This leak is interesting because it actually comes from the early development stages of Solo Leveling Season 1, appearing online before the series even launched – though it didn’t gain much traction then. Recently, with very little news about Season 3, a user on X (@SoloLevelingENG) found the old artwork and realized it showed what Haein was expected to look like in Season 3 (or, according to many insiders, a potential movie). These official anime designs prove that A-1 Pictures has been planning their vision for the adaptation for a long time, reassuring fans that Season 3 is still in the works.
Some comic books are too complex, strange, or dependent on the unique format of comics to successfully become movies. These ten stories, in particular, are best enjoyed as comics and wouldn’t translate well to the big screen.
Despite being a separate story, some dedicated fans of The Lord of the Rings are unhappy with how The Rings of Power changes details from the original timeline. However, this is what sets The Rings of Power apart from the Harry Potter series on HBO, which is taking much bigger chances with its source material and appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers.
Overall, All American follows the familiar formula of teen dramas set in high school and college. However, while many shows in this genre have one frustrating flaw, All American actually addresses it, making the story of its main character, Spencer, feel much more realistic and relatable.
