As a big action movie fan, I just watched *Ice Road: Vengeance*, and it’s a real thrill ride! It follows Liam Neeson as Mike McCann, a super-skilled ice road trucker who gets caught up in a dangerous mission. He’s just trying to honor his brother by scattering his ashes on Mount Everest, but things quickly go south when mercenaries start chasing him. It’s packed with vengeance, survival instincts, and non-stop action against a really harsh, unforgiving backdrop – seriously intense! And if you enjoy it as much as I did and want more, I’ve got three awesome action movies you can stream on Netflix right now.

North American anime fans will be able to see *Chainsaw Man The Movie* in theaters starting October 24th, but it’s already been released in Japan. On its first day, the film sold over 270,000 tickets in Japan, earning about $2.8 million. While this isn’t as high as the opening day numbers for *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle*, it’s still a solid start. Considering the manga and anime haven’t been as popular as some other major action series, many are curious if MAPPA will continue making *Chainsaw Man* content after the movie.

Science fiction films can evoke nostalgia in different ways – some through their settings, and others through their overall style, themes, and concepts. It’s not always *what* a movie is about, but *how* it reflects the era it was made in. Here are some sci-fi movies that are almost certain to bring back memories of the 1990s for fans of the genre.

The second season of *Dandadan* takes everything that made the first season great – thrilling action and sweet romance – and turns it up a notch. We follow Takakura Ken (Okarun) and Momo Ayase on their wild and strange journey to find Okarun’s missing… well, you know. Every episode was good, but some were truly exceptional. Here’s a ranking of all 12 episodes, based on a variety of factors.

Borderlands 4 introduces a major change to gameplay: movement is now just as crucial as shooting. Gearbox has added new abilities that make getting around the environment a key part of battles. This transforms fights from basic shootouts into dynamic, fast-paced encounters with lots of opportunities to use vertical space and speed to your advantage.

As a lifelong movie fan, I was thrilled to see *The Land Before Time* pop up on Netflix on September 1st! This Don Bluth classic – with Spielberg as an executive producer, which is always a good sign – is a real gem from 1988. It tells the story of Littlefoot, a young Apatosaurus who loses his mother and then bravely sets out to find the legendary Great Valley, a safe haven for his kind. Along the way, he meets some wonderful friends, like Cera, and they all share an incredible adventure. The voice acting is fantastic too, featuring talents like Judith Barsi, Burke Byrnes, and a whole host of other great performers.

After Comedy Central postponed the new episode of *South Park* (Season 27, Episode 5) to September 24th, fans were curious about the reason. According to co-creator Matt Stone, who spoke with The Denver Post, the delay wasn’t due to censorship or any issues with the content. The team simply ran out of time to finish the episode before its original air date, as their production process often comes together quickly.

Issue #12 of *The Amazing Spider-Man* is strong, particularly in its portrayal of Norman Osborn as Spider-Man – a concept that’s been divisive since its introduction. The story takes a significant risk with this idea, and how readers react will be crucial. A key moment involves Norman Osborn confronting his feelings for Gwen Stacy, demonstrating how his history as the Green Goblin continues to impact his actions. While their relationship has been marked by tragedy – especially the events of ‘Sins Past’ – this issue seems to bring that chapter to a definitive close.

Professor Binns is confirmed to be teaching History of Magic, and we can expect Peeves to be up to his usual tricks at Hogwarts. It’s great that this might finally show us how the story really started – with Vernon Dursley at work while wizards and witches celebrated Voldemort’s defeat. This also applies to key moments later in the book, like Snape protecting the Philosopher’s Stone.

In a recent interview with *GQ*, John Cena shared the story behind a photo he took with David Corenswet, who plays the new Superman. Cena explained that he knew filming on *Superman* was wrapping up and really wanted to meet Corenswet. He wanted to offer support, telling Corenswet that his performance was crucial – if Corenswet didn’t do well, it would reflect badly on the entire DC universe. Cena, having experienced a lot of media attention himself, offered his help and contact information, wanting to support Corenswet through the changes his role would bring.
