Here are 7 historical films that truly stand out and deserve to be seen. They’re exceptionally well-made in every way, and most people would agree they’re essential viewing – skipping them would mean missing out on some truly great cinema.
Everything goes horribly wrong when a wizard named Yakumaru accidentally kills Cross, starting a full-scale war between the two groups. To resolve the conflict, Dabura, the Simurians’ leader, challenges someone from Earth to a duel. Since none of the adults are strong enough to fight him, the responsibility falls to Yuka, who is already sick and frail. The battle begins, and in Chapter 15, Yuka reveals a powerful fighting technique – one that’s surprisingly similar to Megumi Fushiguro’s.
Paul Giamatti, who plays the character Nus Braka in the upcoming series, recently described his motivations at CCXP. Braka is a criminal—essentially a pirate and smuggler involved in all sorts of illegal activities. He leads a group called the Vanari Ral, and has traveled extensively throughout the galaxy. Giamatti portrays him as a low-status character with delusions of grandeur who puts on a foolish act to mask his dangerous and psychopathic nature. Interestingly, Giamatti suggests Braka is mean to children because he secretly envies their support systems and wishes he had the same kindness shown to them.

As a total movie and TV fanatic, I’ve seen a lot of actors try to break out of their ‘desk job’ roles – you know, the characters always stuck behind a computer or at a news station. What follows is a rundown of the best and the absolute worst attempts at making that transition. Some really nailed it, others… well, let’s just say it didn’t quite work out. But they all started with someone we recognize from being stuck behind a desk on TV.
A debated decision in the series was bringing back Supergirl’s original Silver Age backstory, which also explained Superman’s strange behavior towards her. Instead of raising Kara himself, Superman sent her to an orphanage to keep their identities secret. This has been a recurring theme on Supergirl, with the show often criticizing Superman for the pain this caused Kara. Now, the story is evolving, as Kara is repeating the same mistake by abandoning someone who needs her help.
Rian Johnson’s popular mystery series, Knives Out, returns with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The new film features another impressive cast and a wildly entertaining story. This time, detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) investigates a strange murder at a small church in upstate New York – a murder disguised as a miracle. He teams up with local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to determine if a young priest (Josh O’Connor) is responsible. The film also stars Josh Borlin, Glenn Close, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, and many other well-known actors. Director Rian Johnson described working with the cast as amazing, saying he was constantly surprised they agreed to be part of the project. He believes the chemistry between the actors is what makes these films so enjoyable.

The game was revealed only a few months before Disney bought Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, leading to its cancellation and disappearance. This isn’t an isolated incident; several other Star Wars games have faced similar fates. For example, Amy Hennig, known for creating the Uncharted series, was working on a realistic Star Wars game focused on a band of rogues. It was announced with very little information – no title, just a short gameplay snippet. After years of no updates, the project was silently dropped, disappointing many fans. Currently, we’re seeing a pattern of Star Wars games being announced prematurely.
