Prime Video is known for its action and detective shows, and while shows like Reacher have become very popular, Bosch is still considered the best of the bunch. Despite a lot of similar shows being available, Bosch continues to set the standard for quality detective dramas on the platform.
Roger Ebert became a highly influential film critic, known not just for his writing but for his ability to connect with a broad audience. He and Gene Siskel made watching movie reviews entertaining, and their TV show reached millions. For years, people relied on Ebert’s reviews to find great films. Even after his death in 2013, his work remains popular. Notably, in 2007, he revisited and updated his review of a beloved 1980s cult classic.
As a big movie and TV fan, I’ve noticed a lot of shows just fizzle out at the end, but thankfully, some Prime Video originals have really surprised me. These aren’t just shows that went out with a flashy finale; they actually ended their stories in a way that felt satisfying, made sense, and truly stuck with me. Whether it was a heartbreaking goodbye or a perfectly planned conclusion, these are the best finales Prime Video has to offer, and they prove that a truly great ending is possible.
Netflix still leads in total viewers compared to other streaming platforms. But when it comes to science fiction, services like Prime Video and Apple TV are delivering better quality shows. Prime Video has had some successes, including popular series like Upload, The Expanse, and Fallout. However, Apple TV consistently produces critically acclaimed sci-fi content.
Casting Genevieve Bujold, an Academy Award nominee, as the first female captain in a Star Trek TV series was a major win for Voyager. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that Bujold, who was used to making movies, struggled with the fast pace of television production. She ultimately left the show, and filming was put on hold until Kate Mulgrew was cast as Captain Janeway.
Looking back, Nolan’s Batman trilogy hasn’t aged perfectly. What once felt daring and innovative in the mid-2000s now feels restrictive in some ways. The consistently dark and serious tone can feel heavy-handed, especially when compared to other gritty superhero adaptations. While Nolan’s focus on realism led to impressive scenes, it also meant losing some of the more fun and charming aspects of Batman.
The comedy-horror film Scary Movie was a huge hit when it came out in July 2000, becoming one of the year’s top-grossing R-rated movies. Its success quickly led to imitators, and one of those was Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th. This film went straight to DVD just seven months after Scary Movie and wasn’t well-received by viewers or critics. But does Shriek deserve all the criticism it gets?
Fans were most eager to hear the four words Amy Sherman-Palladino had always intended to use, but the ending didn’t completely please everyone. Rory’s love life remained unresolved, with all three of her main boyfriends appearing – much to the joy of some fans and the frustration of others. Debate over which boyfriend was the best continues today, and it’s complicated by the fact that none of them were a clear frontrunner. However, there was widespread agreement on who was the least favorite: Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki). After twenty years, it’s time fans reconsidered Rory’s first boyfriend and gave him a second look.
It wasn’t a shock to see Yoshi coming – the end of The Super Mario Bros. Movie showed his egg hatching, so we knew he’d appear in a sequel. Now, a leaked image from a Pillsbury cookie box has given us our first glimpse of Yoshi’s design, and I really like the slightly updated look.
The announcement was particularly surprising – and exciting for many – because it’s the first time since 1996’s From Dusk Til Dawn that Quentin Tarantino isn’t directing a script he wrote himself. Instead, David Fincher, a renowned director known for building suspense, atmosphere, and compelling characters, will take the helm. He’s widely considered the ideal choice to continue this story, as he excels at creating emotionally powerful, large-scale, and visually stunning films. Plus, he often works with the film’s lead actor, Brad Pitt. While it’s still early days, The Adventures of Cliff Booth appears to be more than just a good sequel – it has the potential to be a truly exceptional film.
