The 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot didn’t have a traditional theatrical run. Warner Bros. released it in theaters and on HBO Max at the same time due to the pandemic. While this limited its box office potential, it became Warner Bros.’s most popular streaming release of 2021.
Jason Statham’s famously over-the-top action movie, Crank, is now available on Peacock. The film follows a hitman in Los Angeles who’s been poisoned and must constantly push himself to the limit with dangerous stunts to stay alive. While the original Crank is streaming, its even more chaotic sequel, Crank 2, isn’t currently on Peacock. Crank 2 takes the wild energy of the first film to a new level of absurdity, even featuring a hilariously low-budget monster fight inspired by classic Japanese films. However, you can still watch Crank 2 for free on streaming services like Pluto TV and Philo.
DC Comics launched its first superhero comic book in 1938 and has published countless stories since then. While many popular stories are well-known, some fantastic ones have been overlooked. Here are ten amazing DC stories that deserve more recognition.
The recent Star Wars animated series, Maul – Shadow Lord, made Star Wars Day 2026 unforgettable. The show’s finale finally delivered the highly anticipated confrontation between Darth Maul and Darth Vader. But beyond just satisfying fans with this epic duel, the series also cleverly addressed a long-standing issue with how Darth Vader had been portrayed in Star Wars.
On May 9th, 2012, Microsoft launched Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, marking the first time Minecraft was available on consoles.

This console launch was a major success for Microsoft and remains a significant achievement in gaming.
We’ve been keeping an eye on Directive 8020, the new sci-fi horror game from the creators of Until Dawn (Supermassive Games). Expect our review to be published shortly.
Honestly, a game from Double Fine that’s all about pottery – like in Kiln – feels totally right for them! Kiln is really enjoyable, but I found myself wishing there was a bit more to it. It’s brilliant for a quick get-together with friends, but the fun doesn’t really last for hours and hours.
The partners of Formula One drivers have become a noteworthy part of the sport’s culture. With a 24-race season spanning 19 countries, these partners are frequently in the public eye, offering them many opportunities to gain attention.
Alexi Hawley is developing another spin-off of The Rookie, this time focusing on Jay Ellis’ character, Alex Holland, as he navigates a challenging midlife crisis and seeks a new direction in life. The idea is similar to Nathan Fillion’s journey as John Nolan in the original series – Alex will become the youngest rookie at the Pierce County Police Department in the Pacific Northwest. ABC has been considering The Rookie: North for weeks, but their silence, combined with a recent decision, is now casting doubt on whether the show will be picked up.
V1 essentially makes Homelander invincible, and it’s possible the show will go that route. Having the villain win and kill all the heroes would be a surprising twist on the usual superhero story. However, I don’t believe Eric Kripke would end the five-season show on such a dark note, especially after viewers have become so invested in the heroes and their fight against Homelander. I don’t think he’d take away all hope like that.
