Lee Child consistently created a captivating world with his Jack Reacher books, so it’s easy to understand his choices. And with Andrew Child now continuing the series, fans have plenty to be excited about.
As a huge movie fan, I was really excited for Ambulance – it definitely had that classic Michael Bay feel, and Jake Gyllenhaal was fantastic, bringing a ton of energy to the screen. It’s a shame it didn’t really connect with audiences though. It opened with around $8.7 million, and ultimately made about $52.3 million worldwide. Considering it cost around $40 million to make, it just didn’t perform as well as everyone hoped.

In a recent interview with Variety, the creators of Stranger Things, Ross and Matt Duffer, discussed what happened in the first part of the latest season, particularly what happened to Max Mayfield (played by Sadie Sink). Matt Duffer explained that Max wasn’t shown in the first few episodes on purpose, feeling that “episode 3 was the right moment” to bring her back into the story. Ross Duffer then added to the explanation.
Santa Claus visits Magic Kingdom every year, including during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, a special event that requires a separate ticket. During the party, you can find him meeting guests at a spot called “Santa’s Christmas Carnival” in Storybook Circus.
It’s no surprise that the show uses familiar writing techniques honed by the creators of The Simpsons over time. These established guidelines help maintain the series’ quality, and when The Simpsons feels off – either too bleak or unengaging – it’s usually because it’s strayed from these core principles.
Joachim Rønning, known for directing films like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Young Woman and the Sea, directs Tron: Ares. The screenplay is by Jesse Wigutow (Daredevil: Born Again) and Jack Thorne (Adolescence). The film stars an Academy Award-winning actor (known for Morbius and Dallas Buyers Club) as Ares, a program from the digital world of “The Grid.” Ares escapes the digital world and enters the real world to undertake a perilous mission.
The death of the Leone family’s leader happened during a dangerous rescue attempt – he tried to save his father from a fire at his workplace. Though his father, Walter, survived, the son did not, leaving Sharon a widow and the Edgewater fire department without its Battalion Chief. The fourth season of Fire Country began with his funeral, and his loss has been a central theme ever since, impacting everyone who knew him as they try to cope. This week’s episode, however, offers a surprising twist by bringing back Vince, though not without a catch.
I’m a big fan of darkly funny movies, but there aren’t many truly dark comedies among the most popular Christmas films. While many Christmas movies include some dark moments – like Cousin Eddie’s antics in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation or the slightly edgy humor in A Christmas Story – and some, like Scrooged, offer a darker comedic tone with a happy ending, very few maintain that darkness throughout. The Ref is a rare exception – it’s consistently dark and funny from beginning to end.
