Details about the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday are scarce, so fans are speculating about the plot and characters. The recently revealed cast list confirms the return of several popular mutants, and I hope Cyclops has a more compelling storyline this time around.
Horror movies are experiencing a shift, thanks to studios like Neon and A24. Once relegated to smaller audiences, atmospheric folk horror and thought-provoking psychological horror are now achieving mainstream success. This new wave makes older, more straightforward films like The Conjuring seem a bit old-fashioned, though the franchise remains popular.
2025 proved to be a significant year for the Safdie brothers, who released several films to critical praise. Benny Safdie directed The Smashing Machine, and his brother, Josh Safdie, directed Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme. While Marty Supreme achieved widespread success, The Smashing Machine, though not as popular initially, is now performing exceptionally well on streaming platforms, according to FlixPatrol.
The series Wonder Man centers around Simon Williams, an actor facing hardship who unexpectedly gains superpowers. However, he sees these powers as problems, not advantages. When a famous director, Von Kovak, announces a remake of Simon’s beloved childhood movie, Wonder Man, Simon tries out for the main role. He’s competing with Trevor Slattery, a former actor known for previously pretending to be the Mandarin in Iron Man 3.
The popular series Prison Break will no longer be available on Netflix after January 29th, so fans have just a few days left to watch it there. Luckily, all five seasons will continue to stream on both Hulu and Disney+. Since Disney owns the network that originally aired the show (Fox), it’s expected to remain on those platforms for the foreseeable future.
For fans of Dungeons & Dragons, Neverwinter is a fantastic choice. This free-to-play online role-playing game, available on Steam and other platforms, is deeply rooted in the tabletop game. The game’s name comes from a major city within the Forgotten Realms setting – located north of the Sword Coast and Waterdeep, and south of the dangerous Icewind Dale.
Okay, so I just got a sneak peek at what’s coming up, and Mario fans are in for a treat! This spring, we’re getting a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and this one’s based on the beloved Super Mario Galaxy game from Nintendo. Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic are back in the director’s chairs, and honestly, if they capture the magic of that game, we’re in for something special. It’s hitting US theaters soon, and I’m already excited!
According to FlixPatrol, which tracks streaming popularity, two of Daniel Craig’s James Bond films are currently climbing the Netflix Top 10 charts globally. Spectre (from 2015) is now at No. 7, and No Time to Die (his final Bond film, released in 2021) has reached No. 4 as of today.
Everyone knows Burt Reynolds from movies like Smokey and the Bandit, but for me, his work in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights really stands out. It’s considered his best film, and he even received an Oscar nomination for playing Jack Horner, a porn director. It’s funny though, because despite all the praise the movie gets from critics and fans, Reynolds himself wasn’t a fan of it!
Okay, so this came as a surprise. On January 23rd, 2026, Natasha Lyonne publicly shared that she’d experienced a relapse via a post on X, hinting at more details to come. She followed up a few hours later, emphasizing that recovery is a continuous journey and thanking her fans for their incredible support. It’s clear she’s determined to get back to work on her upcoming passion project, a film called Bambo, which she’s writing and directing. More than anything, she used this as an opportunity to encourage everyone to keep fighting and never give up – a really powerful and honest moment, honestly.
