Almost 30 years after starring in the 1997 action movie Anaconda, Ice Cube surprised and pleased fans by showing up at the Los Angeles premiere of the new film. He told People magazine that his brief appearance felt like things had come “full circle,” both for him personally and for his character, Danny Rich.
Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of the popular novel is just as famous for its ability to convey both the awe and the terror of encountering these creatures in our time. It’s difficult to imagine anyone else directing it, but surprisingly, Tim Burton was almost chosen. While he didn’t get the job, his unique vision would have been memorable, and it’s a shame we never got to see his take on the story.
Our list features new installments in popular series like Alien and Predator, but some expected titles didn’t quite make it. Despite being worth watching, Wicked: For Good narrowly missed the top ten, and the latest season of Stranger Things hasn’t generated enough buzz yet to break into the rankings.
We don’t usually think of superheroes as “late bloomers,” but it’s true that new comic book characters need a strong start to stay popular. If a debut doesn’t grab fans, the character can quickly be forgotten. The Human Rocket, created by Marv Wolfman and John Buscema, had a promising beginning in 1976, but nearly faded away after a few years of not being used.
I generally don’t mind when movies change things from the books they’re based on. It’s really difficult to translate a story from a book to a film, and filmmakers often have to make adjustments. While I appreciate the effort Terry Gilliam and his team put into Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I still don’t particularly enjoy the movie. Hunter S. Thompson’s writing is simply challenging to adapt for the screen.
The 2008 fantasy film Inkheart didn’t perform well at the box office and received mixed reviews, despite featuring a talented cast including Brendan Fraser and Paul Bettany. It’s time this movie received the recognition it deserved when it first came out.
The popularity of Yellowstone is clear, leading to several spinoffs and demonstrating that traditional Western themes can still be incredibly successful. However, Yellowstone didn’t become a hit out of nowhere. Before Taylor Sheridan’s show captured the public’s attention, another series had already paved the way for this renewed interest in the genre.
The 1990s saw a boom in filmmaking, with fresh perspectives pushing the boundaries of the art form. While Hollywood remained influential, independent films gained popularity, and the growth of home video gave audiences more control over what they watched. This shift lessened the power of film critics to dictate what was considered good or bad.
Chapter 15 of JJK Modulo, called “The Forbidden Technique Unleashed,” really kicks off the fight between Yuka and Dabura, and it’s already an incredible showcase of magical abilities. Seeing Mahoraga’s Modulo in action for the first time, combined with the terrifying Cursed Technique Dabura reveals, makes this first chapter of the battle a huge win for Jujutsu Kaisen fans – though things aren’t looking so good for anyone living on Earth!
In Landman season 2, Landon Lofland plays Cooper Norris, the son of Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton). A disturbing relationship develops between Cooper and cartel leader Gallino (Andy Garcia), and Cooper remains largely unaware of just how involved Gallino is in criminal activity.
