I hadn’t actually watched *Dirty Dancing* before, but I definitely knew *of* it. Everyone recognizes the famous line, ‘Nobody puts Baby in a corner,’ and the incredible lift between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze is a classic moment from the 80s. Still, I wasn’t entirely sure what the movie was about when I decided to watch it on Netflix and see Johnny and Baby’s romance for myself.
Filming is underway for *Fight for ‘84*, a new sports drama being shot in New Jersey. The movie, starring Jamie Foxx, tells the story of the U.S. Olympic Team after a devastating plane crash in 1980. It follows a new coach as he rebuilds the team, leading them to an incredible performance at the 1984 Summer Olympics. It’s a truly inspiring story that’s sure to tug at your heartstrings.
Released in 1974, *The Texas Chainsaw Massacre* is a landmark film that essentially created the modern slasher genre. It’s been revisited with numerous sequels, prequels, and reboots, much like the *Halloween* series – it just keeps going! We’ve organized the different films by era to help make sense of the franchise, though its history isn’t quite as complicated as *Halloween’s*.
The story takes place in the year 2563. Dr. Dyson Ido discovers the body of a female cyborg, which has a human brain. He reconstructs her, giving her the name Alita. When she awakens, she has no memories of who she was before and must learn to navigate this new world. As she does, she begins to remember fragments of her past, revealing that she was once a highly skilled and dangerous warrior known as a Berserker.
Derek Kolstad, known for his work on John Wick and Nobody, is the lead writer and creator of this show. Ubisoft Film & Television is producing it, with animation handled by FOST Studio.
The season finale of *Peacemaker* tied up loose ends while also setting the stage for the future of James Gunn’s DC Universe. Throughout the season, John Cena’s character, Christopher Smith, confronted difficult issues from his childhood, battled threats from another dimension, and searched for a meaningful connection. The season culminated in a showdown with Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., who was determined to avenge his son’s death.
Whether you’re here because you’re curious, feeling nostalgic, or just want to watch some classic horror, you’ve come to the right spot! We’ve put together a list of the best movies in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series.
Despite a successful directing career, Clint Eastwood’s most acclaimed films came in the 1990s and early 2000s, as he continued to refine his skills. While he never made a traditional gangster movie – a genre he wasn’t particularly drawn to – many fans wondered what his take on the subject would be, given his experience with Westerns, which share similar themes. His crime films came the closest to that genre. One standout is a gripping mystery thriller adapted from a Dennis Lehane novel, and it remains one of the best films of the 21st century.
Though John Candy was a comedic master, he was also a remarkably versatile actor. He could seamlessly transition into dramatic, fantastical, suspenseful, or even politically charged roles. While he wasn’t often seen outside of comedy, he proved himself capable in more serious and subtle performances. From a questionable lawyer in *JFK* to a bank employee involved in crime in *The Silent Partner*, and even a supporting role in the romantic fantasy *Splash*, Candy consistently brought depth and complexity to his characters.
These movies are definitely not for everyone. While some are more graphic than others, even the ideas themselves can be disturbing and unsettling for many viewers.
