For the last ten years, Netflix has been a leader in bringing medieval action and adventure to viewers, with popular shows like *Vikings* and *The Witcher*. Here’s a look at some of the best medieval-themed shows available on Netflix and why they’re worth watching.
One of the highlights of this 1990s film is Nicolas Cage’s surprisingly strong performance. Released in 1999, *Bringing Out the Dead* is a bit of a hidden gem from Martin Scorsese, and one of his rarer forays into the thriller genre outside of films like *Cape Fear* and *Shutter Island*. Despite a career filled with memorable roles and collaborations with top directors, Nicolas Cage remains an often-overlooked actor. *Bringing Out the Dead* is a visually striking and thematically rich film, packed with intense moments and abstract imagery, and Cage truly shines in it.
Kent Sazi, the director, explained his vision for blending the classic Ninja Turtles stories with the lighthearted feel of 1990s family comedies like *Home Alone* and *Home Alone 2: Lost in New York* – a combination reflected in the Turtles’ new short. Sazi, who grew up a fan of both franchises, described the project as a chance to merge those influences. He noted the Turtles are usually focused on serious survival, but in this case, their challenge is simply navigating the New Jersey Turnpike. Sazi also discussed his intention to place the Turtles in a fresh setting, hoping it will lead to more exciting adventures down the line.
We’ve put together a list of 10 of the best horror short films on YouTube to help you find something scary to watch.
Mark Goldblatt’s 1989 action movie, *The Punisher*, is based on the comic book character Frank Castle, created in the early 1970s by Gerry Conway and artists John Romita Sr. and Ross Andru. Despite having a dedicated fanbase, the film has largely been forgotten, likely because it was released directly to video due to financial problems at New World Pictures. Currently, the only way to watch it is by buying a physical copy – it’s not available for streaming or digital rental. But those who are fans insist it’s a worthwhile purchase for a small price.
In the summer of 2010, LeBron James faced a big decision as his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers was ending. His next move was highly anticipated, and his business partner organized a televised announcement called *The Decision* on ESPN. The 75-minute special included discussions before James finally revealed he would be joining the Miami Heat, about 30 minutes into the program.
The movie *Knocked Up* centers on Allison, played by Katherine Heigl, and her attempt to build a relationship with Ben (Seth Rogen) after finding out they’re expecting a child. Director Judd Apatow filled the film with familiar faces, including many from *Freaks and Geeks*, as well as his own family – a brilliant casting choice. However, the performance that I remembered most vividly was Ryan Seacrest hilariously playing a heightened version of himself.
Vision Quest is a new Marvel series coming to Disney+ starring Paul Bettany as Vision. It continues the story from the 2021 hit show WandaVision and was created by Terry Matalas.
As of October 6, 2025, the movie *Law Abiding Citizen* is currently the 7th most popular film on Netflix in the United States, according to FlixPatrol. It’s quickly gaining traction, moving up three spots from yesterday when it debuted at number 10. Surprisingly, this 16-year-old film is performing better than newer releases like *Karate Kid: Legends* (at #8), *Sing-Along* (#9), and *The Martian* (#10). Starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx, the movie follows a man who decides to take the law into his own hands after the person who harmed his family isn’t punished.
The *Resident Evil* series hit a rough patch, particularly after the underwhelming reception of *Resident Evil 6*. While the films made money, critics generally panned them as low-quality. It seemed like the entire franchise might be failing, much like the zombies in the original game.
