Christopher Nolan’s 2006 film, The Prestige, stars Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as rival stage magicians obsessed with outdoing each other’s teleportation tricks. Based on the 1995 novel by Christopher Priest, the movie reveals that the illusions go much deeper than simple magic. While critically acclaimed and commercially successful, The Prestige is often overlooked when discussing Nolan’s best films.
Many incredible Marvel comics, despite their quality, have been largely overlooked. These stories are among the best Marvel has to offer, yet they don’t receive the attention they deserve. Here are ten fantastic examples that fans should be talking about more.
I was immediately captivated by the demo for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. It’s a fantastic blend of beautiful graphics – the same team that created Octopath Traveler is behind it – and exciting gameplay. You’ll find fast-paced combat, intriguing puzzles, exploration, and a story that involves time travel. What’s really promising is that Square Enix is already responding to player feedback, making me hopeful this will be one of their best action RPGs in a long time. If you’re a fan of The Legend of Zelda, this game, launching June 18th, looks like a must-play.
The classic Universal Monsters movies are a thing of the past, but the studio has repeatedly tried to bring them back. Their most well-known recent effort, a planned ‘Dark Universe’ series, flopped after just one film: Tom Cruise’s 2017 The Mummy. Now, Universal is taking a different approach with individual monster reboots directed by different filmmakers – like the new The Mummy by Lee Cronin, The Invisible Man, and Wolf Man. However, a revival attempt from almost thirty years ago actually performed better than any of these more recent efforts.
Yuffie was originally created to be the main character in her own downloadable content, giving her a well-rounded skillset with both ranged and melee attacks, as well as both physical and magical strengths. This makes her a really flexible character to play. I personally always include her in my battle parties. However, Vincent and Cid also ended up with some fantastic combat abilities in the final game, and I’m excited for players to experience them firsthand.
Here’s a breakdown of everything included in this first release, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
HBO Max has a lot of popular content right now, including shows like Euphoria, Rooster, The Comeback, and Hacks. A standout series is Half Man, a co-production with the BBC, which is performing very well. Starring Richard Gadd (who also created and wrote the show) and Jamie Bell, the series follows Niall and Ruben, two men who grew up like brothers, and explores their decades-long relationship – how it began and what ultimately happened. According to data from FlixPatrol, Half Man consistently ranks among the top 10 shows on HBO Max globally, often around 6th or 7th place in many countries. In the U.S., it’s one of the most popular shows on the service after new episodes are released each Thursday, according to ReelGood.
Mark your calendars for May 19, 2026, because Gotham’s calling.
Savage is relentlessly targeting Batman, even sending a special squad, TUCO, to arrest him on sight. Now, with Mayor Poison Ivy’s approval, Savage has launched Operation Peregrine, officially labeling Batman and his allies as Gotham’s enemies and giving Savage the means to capture them. However, Batman refuses to give up and is planning a direct response to Savage’s aggressive moves.
