These films are considered classics because they essentially created the monster movie subgenres we know today, being the earliest or most famous originals featuring iconic creatures.

After Friends concluded in 2004, Jennifer Aniston has taken on roles in many types of movies and shows – including romantic comedies, mysteries, dramas, and comedies.

It’s probably true that the MPA’s decisions aren’t always clear-cut, but people often enjoy seeing films that faced censorship or restrictions ultimately become famous because of those limitations. A perfect example is the highly praised 1969 drama, Midnight Cowboy.
In the series Landman, Wallace portrays Rebecca Falcone, the lawyer responsible for proving M-Tex Oil’s legal claims.

The film takes the simple story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and turns it into a detailed backstory, exploring the world of Whoville, the Grinch’s difficult childhood, and even offering a commentary on how much we buy. While some find it a strange, brightly colored fantasy that fits in well with other holiday movies, revisiting it now, 25 years later, shows some flaws.

As a fan, I really hoped we’d see Elizabeth Olsen’s vision for Scarlet Witch continue in the MCU, and while that’s still possible, it doesn’t seem likely to happen anytime soon. Aside from her voice work on the Marvel Zombies animated series, she isn’t currently scheduled to return as Wanda. It’s been over three years since we last saw her in live-action in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and honestly, her career is looking pretty varied these days, which is great to see!

During a panel at Motor City Comic Con featuring Mike Flanagan and Kate Siegel, ScreenRant’s Joe Deckelmeier and Grant Hermanns heard Flanagan discuss his previous work with John Ferguson on the 2019 film Doctor Sleep, a sequel to The Shining. Ferguson then shared his thoughts, stating:
True crime shows are popular and come in all sorts of styles, with series like HBO Max’s The Vow and The Staircase fueling that demand.
