I’m a sucker for quirky crime movies, but honestly, the comedies that don’t take themselves too seriously – and really lean into the absurdity of violence and mayhem – are always the most fun. It’s funny how sometimes you don’t fully get a movie’s influences until you rewatch it. Speaking of surprising influences, you rarely hear Michael Bay’s name mentioned when people talk about great gangster films. He’s shifted more into producing lately, but his signature style is still all over everything he touches. He’s made a ton of movies, but people seem to forget his one truly wild gangster flick – it’s got one of the most chaotic, over-the-top plots I’ve ever seen in a crime movie.
This novel is a large, complex story jumping between two time periods: when a group of kids first defeat a terrifying, clown-like monster named Pennywise who lives in the sewers, and when that same monster returns 27 years later to haunt them again. The book also includes glimpses into the dark past of the town of Derry and the creature itself. Welcome to Derry expands on that history, and Stephen King was pleased with the filmmakers’ vision, making no requests for changes after reading their script, as director Andy Muschietti explained to The Hollywood Reporter.
People are rediscovering the action movie Knight and Day on Prime Video, where it’s currently the fourth most popular film. It’s behind Play Dirty at number one, the Spanish romance Our Fault in second, and the Ryan Reynolds-produced documentary John Candy: I Like Me in third. Released in 2010, Knight and Day received mixed reviews from critics – and audiences seem to be just as divided, with scores around 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the lukewarm reception, the film was a box office success, earning over $261 million worldwide on a budget of $117 million.

Honey Chandler started as an opposing lawyer to Harry Bosch in the first season of Bosch, but they later began working together. She became increasingly important in Bosch and eventually became a central character in Bosch: Legacy. Though she was a key figure in Bosch: Legacy and several characters crossed over to Ballard, Honey Chandler only made a brief appearance in the first season finale of Ballard. Now that Season 2 of Ballard is confirmed, there’s a good chance Honey Chandler could return in a larger role, which would be a welcome development considering the show’s dramatic ending.

The latest villains Spider-Man faces – whether battling Peter Parker or Miles Morales – could become iconic additions to the classic list of Spidey’s enemies. It’s still early days, but what we’ve seen so far gives us a good idea of how powerful they are compared to each other.
There was a fun first-time crossover between 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Nashville! It happened surprisingly early in the new spinoff’s run – we didn’t see a crossover between the original 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star until the second season of Lone Star. Thankfully, the shows handled it well, introducing Nashville to fans of the original without making it feel rushed or overwhelming. The crossover involved Maddie contacting Cammie at Nashville’s call center to help extend communication with a space capsule. To make things even more chaotic, Cammie also mentions they’re dealing with tornadoes, making for a very busy day!
The 1980s were filled with popular horror franchises like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, and audiences expected masked killers and lots of violence. Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II broke away from this predictable pattern, offering something truly unique. Instead of following the usual formula, the film mixed supernatural scares with dark humor and a dreamlike, unsettling atmosphere. This unexpected combination surprised viewers at the time. While it might have been too unusual for critics then, the film has gained a following over the years, especially among filmmakers like Tarantino who recognize and appreciate its quirky and original style. It felt fresh and rebellious, even before self-aware horror became popular.
