Honestly, I’m not going to try and claim that Roland Emmerich’s 2009 film, 2012, is a masterpiece. It’s packed with characters, the plot is complicated, and it’s really long – over two and a half hours! The critics don’t love it (it has a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes), and audiences aren’t much more enthusiastic. I know it doesn’t get great reviews, but I still enjoy watching it.
It can be surprisingly difficult to rewatch the first Harry Potter movie now, but the series as a whole – eight films in total – remains incredibly memorable. The movies are known for their strong acting and have played a significant role in shaping the British film industry.
As a huge fan of Darren Aronofsky – I love films like Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, and even the challenging Mother! – I was really excited for his latest movie, an action thriller with a fantastic cast including Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, and Bad Bunny. It’s a shame, though, because despite all that talent, it didn’t do very well at the box office. It cost around $40 million to make, but only brought in a little over $31.1 million, meaning it actually lost money.
Taylor Sheridan’s success began with the Yellowstone series, but he’s since created several other popular crime dramas. His latest, Landman, released in November 2024, quickly became a hit. Following positive news from a co-creator, Sam Elliott, a new cast member, shared his excitement about the show’s future, saying everyone involved is already eager to get started on Season 3.
In Season 1 of Gen V, Jessica Clements played a minor character named Harper. However, in Season 2, Harper took on a much bigger role and her powers evolved. While she’s always been known for her tail, Season 2 introduced the ability to temporarily copy the powers of other super-powered individuals.
Aisling Marling will be the voice of the ship’s computer in the upcoming series Starfleet Academy. She will voice the computer on the U.S.S. Athena, which also functions as Starfleet Academy within the show. This role was previously held by Majel Barrett, who famously voiced the ship’s computer in Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek Voyager, and the Next Generation films. Barrett even made a special appearance in Star Trek: Picard Season 3 after her passing in 2023.
Given how popular The X-Files was – and still is, with a dedicated fanbase and lasting impact on science fiction and thriller genres – it’s obvious the show was a major achievement for Vince Gilligan. However, he recently shared that one specific thing often bothered him because it sometimes hindered the storytelling.
As a film and music enthusiast, I’ve been following this case closely. It started when Jonathan Hay, who goes by ‘John Doe’ in the initial filings, made some really serious accusations. He claimed that C.J. Wallace, the son of Biggie Smalls, along with Willie Mack and others, put him in a situation where he was allegedly sexually assaulted by Sean Combs at Wallace’s home, and that he witnessed another alleged assault there. C.J. Wallace has strongly denied all of this – both the assault claims and Hay’s assertion that he and Combs had a sexual relationship, or that he was involved in anything Hay has described.
Early reviews for The Seduction are mixed, with a 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on six reviews. This score is likely to change as more reviews come in, and an audience rating isn’t available yet.
It took over three years to release the sequel to the first game, and since then, the story and world have been expanded with numerous updates instead of requiring players to buy a new game. Although Destiny 2 originally cost money to play, it’s now free, with new content available for purchase. However, the game’s player base has shrunk significantly, which has created challenges for the developers.
