Hulu has announced that the film *Sovereign*, starring and Jacob Tremblay, will be available to stream starting November 7th. This release is expected to bring the film the attention it has earned.
Okay, let me tell you about “Andy and April’s Fancy Party,” the ninth episode of *Parks and Recreation*’s third season. By this point, the show had really hit its stride – after a bit of a shaky start, they’d found their voice and added Ben and Chris, which was brilliant. But this episode? This one *escalated* things. It gave us a wedding nobody predicted, and honestly, it’s easily one of the best and most unforgettable episodes of the entire series, ranking right up there with classics like “Flu Season” and “The Fight.” Everyone remembers it for cementing Andy and April as a power couple, but what really sticks with me is the cold open. It’s genuinely one of the funniest, most shocking, and… well, slightly disturbing cold opens I’ve *ever* seen on a sitcom, not just *Parks and Rec*. Seriously, it’s iconic.
For some Halloween fans, movies are all about fun and lightheartedness. They might enjoy a thrilling film, but not one that’s truly terrifying. While horror is often linked to Halloween, there are many non-horror movies that still feel perfectly spooky for October.
Despite initially receiving poor reviews and failing to make a profit at the box office—earning only a 57% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and less than double its $15 million budget—*The Craft* has become a beloved classic. Over the past two decades, especially with the growth of social media, it’s found a dedicated following among millennials and now offers younger viewers a nostalgic look at 1990s pop culture, fashion, and feminist themes.
The 1990s saw a surge of groundbreaking science fiction films, including classics like *Total Recall*, *Jurassic Park*, and *The Matrix*, which all stretched the boundaries of what audiences expected. Among these stood *Contact*, a film Roger Ebert hailed as one of the smartest ever made. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, an Academy Award winner, and starring Jodie Foster, *Contact* went even further, uniquely blending science, faith, and the human quest for purpose.
Keanu Reeves is getting a lot of attention right now for his role in the comedy film, *Good Fortune*. He actually injured himself during filming – something unusual for him, especially considering the demanding physical stunts he does for the *John Wick* movies. Reeves explained to Stephen Colbert that he fractured his kneecap – he described it snapping “like a potato chip” – while quickly exiting a cold plunge pool. While the injury itself wasn’t amusing, the films mentioned certainly are.
Back to the Future, a beloved film celebrating its 40th anniversary with a limited re-release next month, is considered a classic by many, and one scene in particular is incredibly famous. The Gibson ES-345 guitar Marty McFly plays in that scene has been lost since filming. Even Michael J. Fox has talked about his unsuccessful search for it.
The first official continuation of the original *Predator* movie wasn’t another film, but a four-issue comic book series called *Predator: Concrete Jungle* (it’s different from a 2005 video game with the same name!). Written by Mark Verheiden with art by Chris Warner and Ron Randall, the comic was published by Dark Horse Comics between 1989 and 1990. It expanded on the story of the creature – later known as a Yautja – in ways that surprised audiences when it first came out.
The story of *In The Lost Lands* centers on Gray Alys, a powerful and enigmatic witch who poses a challenge to the ruling Church in one of the last remaining civilizations. Alys possessed the ability to grant any wish, and could not deny a request. The narrative kicks off when the Queen seeks a unique favor from Alys, leading her to cross paths with Boyce, a mysterious Hunter. Together, they embark on a journey to the legendary Lost Lands to fulfill the Queen’s desire. While *In The Lost Lands* features a complicated conclusion, the story feels somewhat hurried due to its limited length. Here’s a breakdown of how George R.R. Martin’s original story concluded.
Despite having a great cast, a compelling story, and mostly good reviews, the historical drama *The Last Duel* didn’t do well in theaters. Now, the film has a second opportunity to find an audience, as it becomes available to stream on Hulu starting November 1st.
