Nicole Kidman showed off her beautiful curly hair while attending a Christmas Eve party in Sydney, Australia, with her husband Keith Urban and their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, on December 24th.
James Cameron is known for the grand scale of the Avatar movies, and Avatar: Fire & Ash really showcases his talent for visual storytelling. The film’s climactic battle is a perfect example: it initially leads you to expect one thing, then dramatically changes the scope of the entire conflict.
We considered films that mixed genres, but ultimately decided to focus on pure horror. That’s why you won’t find titles like The Bride! or Scary Movie 6 on this list, even though they’re both anticipated releases in 2026. Psycho Killer, the next Insidious film, and Primate were also close to making the cut.
The treasure, called the One Piece, became famous worldwide, launching the Great Pirate Era and motivating many to brave the dangerous seas. Reaching the final island, Laugh Tale, requires not only strength but also intelligence and good fortune. Its location is hidden, revealed only by translating four ancient texts called Road Poneglyphs – a language few can understand, including the crew’s archeologist, Nico Robin. After over 28 years of the manga being published, the long-awaited Laugh Tale is within reach, though many mysteries remain to be solved.
Between the mid-2000s and early 2010s, The Closer was a hugely popular and critically praised TV show. It launched the careers of its main actors – we’ll talk about them later – and also proved that basic cable shows could achieve high artistic quality, consistently earning nominations for major awards like Emmys, SAG Awards, and Golden Globes throughout its run.
Recently, there’s been concern about games becoming completely unplayable when their servers are shut down. Some games rely so heavily on online features that developers haven’t made arrangements to keep them running offline. This effectively turns them into useless objects. A prime example is the game Concord, which was released and then quickly taken offline, leaving players with a copy that only displays error messages and the game’s logo – it’s not actually playable without significant effort.
This year’s Christmas special didn’t stop some viewers from thinking there’s a romantic connection between the two characters.
I was really blown away by The Testament of Ann Lee! Amanda Seyfried is incredible in the lead role, and director Robert Eggers has brought together a fantastic cast – Lewis Pullman plays her brother William, and you’ll also recognize Christopher Abbott as her husband, Abraham. Thomasin McKenzie, Stacy Martin, and Tim Blake Nelson are all in it too. It premiered at the Venice International Film Festival and everyone is raving about it, especially Seyfried’s performance – it’s so intense and feels really real. Plus, the movie features some beautiful musical numbers! Right now, it has a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so I’m really excited for everyone to see it.
As a huge DC fan, it’s clear to me that the mixed reaction to the Green Lantern movie really held back those characters for a long time, and honestly, it impacted DC’s live-action plans for the whole group. But it seems like the folks behind the new DCU are paying attention to what didn’t work with Green Lantern and are trying a different approach this time around. They definitely seem to have learned from past mistakes when it comes to how they’re presenting these heroes and their stories.
While many excellent sci-fi films fly under the radar, certain releases become huge cultural moments. Sometimes, these popular movies attract unwanted attention from those in power, leading to extra examination and even bans. Over time, this has resulted in some really odd and amusing stories about sci-fi films being prohibited, with the reasons for the bans often being both strange and funny.
