I was so surprised to learn this! Apparently, when I was a kid, the producer of The Exorcist, Ray Stark – who was actually good friends with my mom, Janet Leigh – asked me to audition for the movie! Can you believe it? I was just a preteen at the time, and to think I almost could have been in that iconic horror film is wild!
Recent data from Discussing Film shows that episode seven of Stranger Things Season 5, titled “The Bridge,” has received the lowest IMDb rating of any episode in the series, scoring a 5.7 based on 50,000 reviews. Previously, the lowest-rated episode was “The Lost Sister” from Season 2, which earned a 6.0 from 46,000 viewers. There’s a significant difference between these two and the next lowest-rated episode, “Suzie, Do You Copy” from Season 3, which received a 7.8 from 33,000 users. For comparison, the highest-rated episode is Season 4’s “The Massacre at Hawkins Lab,” with an impressive 9.6 rating based on 58,000 reviews from verified users.
Just to clarify, this list isn’t based on box office earnings, but on how good the movies are overall. A film appearing higher on the list might not have been a financial success in theaters, but it’s still among the best from the summer of 2016. Plus, great movies tend to find viewers through streaming, so it’s hard to say if a movie will eventually become profitable anyway.
While DC Comics aimed to simplify its complex history with Crisis on Infinite Earths, Aquaman and Atlantis were largely overlooked. That changed in 1990 with The Atlantis Chronicles, where writer Peter David updated the myths surrounding Atlantis. Although it took a few years for these changes to fully take hold, David revisited the character in 1993 with Aquaman: Time and Tide. This story reimagined Aquaman for a modern audience and launched what is considered the character’s most successful period.
Here are the five best Hideo Kojima games.
Simu Liu, known for his role in Shang-Chi, announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Timo Tjahjanto will direct the Sleeping Dogs movie. He did so by retweeting Tjahjanto’s post, which quoted Bram Stoker’s Dracula, saying, “We’ll cross oceans of time to make this.” Fans of the Sleeping Dogs game have reason to be thrilled, as Tjahjanto’s previous film, The Night Comes For Us, a gritty Indonesian crime movie, shares a similar style and atmosphere. While it’s a different story, the visual and thematic connections suggest how Tjahjanto might approach the Sleeping Dogs adaptation. He’s even stated that The Night Comes For Us includes many references to Sleeping Dogs, even down to the costumes.
Okay, let me tell you about Dexter: Resurrection. It definitely doubled down on the over-the-top nature of the whole premise, which, honestly, after everything that happened in the original series, felt…necessary. I mean, we’re talking about a middle-aged serial killer who should have died from a gunshot wound, but thanks to some seriously strong plot armor, he’s back for another go-round. And the storyline? He infiltrates a club of fellow killers and starts taking them out. It’s completely ridiculous, and frankly, I found it kind of charming. But, and this is a big but, Resurrection just didn’t have that special something that made the original series so compelling. Something was missing.
Beau DeMayo, who previously led the creative direction of X-Men ’97, shared on X what he had envisioned for Gambit’s storyline. He planned to feature Gambit in Season 3, adapting the ‘Age of Apocalypse’ arc where Magneto tasks him with gathering a team to locate and steal the M’Krann Crystal.
Fans were surprised to not see Ahsoka Season 2 listed among Disney’s upcoming shows for 2026, particularly since filming finished last year and no other live-action Star Wars series are currently planned. The most probable reason is that Disney only included projects with firm release dates in its announcement, and Ahsoka Season 2 hadn’t been officially scheduled for 2026, even though many people expected it to be.
The Silent Hill series saw a strong comeback with the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2. While the remake was well-received, it remained to be seen if Konami could create a truly new and successful installment. They proved they could with Silent Hill f in 2025, which received widespread praise from both fans and critics, even earning a nomination at The Game Awards. Now, all eyes are on Silent Hill: Townfall, which is currently anticipated to launch around 2026.
