The inspiration actually comes not from Alien, but another well-known science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott: Blade Runner. Though it’s only fifty seconds long, this short scene is incredibly memorable and will likely stay with viewers for decades.
Movie fans have only a few days left to stream the 2010 Western film Jonah Hex on HBO Max, as it leaves the platform on February 28th. The movie, based on the DC Comics character, stars Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex, a former Confederate soldier and bounty hunter with a unique ability: he can talk to the dead. The Army hires Hex to track down Quentin Turnbull, the man who murdered his family and left him scarred, before Turnbull can launch a dangerous attack. While Jonah Hex wasn’t a success at the box office, it remains one of the more unusual films in the DC universe.
Despite the authors, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (writing as James S.A. Corey), completing a nine-book series, the final three books haven’t been made into a show. While the recent conclusion felt like a natural ending, many storylines were left unresolved. Although some viewers believe the show is finished for good, many hope Alcon Entertainment, which owns the rights, will consider adapting the remaining books, even now that it’s no longer on Prime Video. Regardless of whether it happens, here are five reasons why we still need those final three seasons of The Expanse.
The upcoming series Honey, from the creator of Killing Eve, has announced a strong cast, adding to the excitement around this prequel. The show explores the earlier life of Carolyn Martens (originally played by Fiona Shaw in Killing Eve), focusing on her time as a young MI6 agent named Martha Schmitt, played by Ann Skelly. Martha operates undercover and constantly faces danger as she tries to evade Friedrich, the new head of counterespionage for the Stasi, who suspects her true identity.
Season 3 of The Night Agent has been a huge success, surpassing its previous seasons. It launched with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and quickly became the most popular show on Netflix, according to FlixPatrol. Throughout the week, viewership has remained strong, keeping the series well ahead of other hits like Bridgerton and The Art of Sarah.
The sixth episode of Starfleet Academy, titled “Come, Let’s Away,” features the abandoned ship, the USS Miyazaki, which cadets are tasked with repairing. This is likely a tribute to the famous Japanese animator and filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. Interestingly, the ship’s name is a callback to a hidden Star Trek reference that appeared in a Studio Ghibli film back in 1989.
Green Arrow is a superhero who doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves. He played a significant role in the development of comic books, with storylines like “Hard-Traveling Heroes” and “The Longbow Hunters” helping to shape the character into the hero fans know and love today. While popular in the 1980s, his success waned in the 1990s, leading to the character being killed off and replaced. He experienced a revival in 2001 when writer/director Kevin Smith reimagined him in Green Arrow (Vol. 3). Smith’s 15-issue run was so successful – making the book DC’s top seller – that DC continued the series with another writer from outside the comic book world, Brad Meltzer, a college friend of DC writer Judd Winick who had become a novelist. Partnering with artist Phil Hester, Meltzer then delivered what many consider to be the definitive Green Arrow story.
The latest installment of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo focuses on Yuji Itadori and showcases how much stronger he’s become since the end of the first series. He’s now incredibly powerful, rivaling gods and other major characters from the original story. The story also introduces a new method for overcoming even the most powerful Domain Expansion techniques: simply prevent your opponent from activating theirs with quick action.
It’s hard to say if any game will be as much fun as Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Released a year ago, this game is delightfully chaotic, charming, and colorful – easily one of Sega’s best releases in recent years. That’s not to diminish other great Sega games, but Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was just incredibly enjoyable. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Yakuza series or completely new to Goro Majima’s world, it’s a fantastic gaming experience.
Now that Jessica Jones is back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the team working on the new Daredevil: Born Again series will need to deal with the difficult consequences of her past actions. Although Krysten Ritter is currently the only confirmed main cast member returning from the original Jessica Jones show, her involvement opens the door for popular supporting characters like Malcolm Ducasse to reappear. This is also a great chance for Marvel Studios to finally reveal what happened to Trish Walker.
