As with any book adapted for the screen, the movie version of Project Hail Mary had to cut or shorten some parts of the original story. We’ve already discussed specific storylines and scenes from the book that didn’t make it into the film, but one of the biggest changes involves the characters. The book features a large cast, especially in the Earth-based scenes, but the movie significantly reduces the number of characters, even those who play important roles in the novel. Be warned: the following contains spoilers for both the book and the movie version of Project Hail Mary.

Look, I’ve played a lot of Pokémon, and not every design hits the mark – especially when it comes to Grass-types. While you can really do anything with the idea of a Grass Pokémon, sometimes it just doesn’t work. Some of them seriously don’t feel like Grass-types! The best ones just naturally look like they belong in the forest or a garden, even before you know their type. But the worst designs either try too hard with a weird gimmick, or they forget what plants even look like. Here are 10 Pokémon that really show how that can go wrong.

Honestly, the biggest problem with Pacific Rim: Uprising was that it completely lost what made the first Pacific Rim so special. Del Toro’s original film wasn’t just about giant robots fighting monsters; it was a surprisingly emotional story about love, acceptance, and dealing with loss, all wrapped up in these incredible, dreamlike visuals that supported the story, not overshadowed it. Uprising felt like it was all flash and no substance – a generic action movie that audiences disliked even more than critics did. It’s easy to just bash sequels for not living up to the original, and that happens a lot, but with Uprising, it’s more than that. It didn’t just try something different; it completely forgot what the first movie was about.

If you’re an HBO Max subscriber and want to watch the 2009 horror film Drag Me to Hell, you need to stream it soon! Directed by Sam Raimi, who also co-wrote the script, it was his first horror movie in nearly a decade, following 2000’s The Gift.

Here are six tough SNES beat ’em ups that you should still play today.

I was really hoping for a follow-up soon, and it’s disappointing to hear it’ll be a few years before we see the girls again. It’s tough to wait, even knowing there are reasons! But the filmmaker, Maggie Kang, hinted on Netflix that this is “just the beginning,” so that gives me hope we’ll get more updates and exciting news as the second movie gets closer. I’m trying to stay positive and look forward to what’s coming!

Marvel Studios is breaking its usual pattern by renewing its new series, Wonder Man, for a second season. The announcement came via a social media post showing a script with ‘Wonder Man Season 2’ on it, confirming the return of Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery. The eight-episode series, co-created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, premiered on Disney+ two months ago and will continue streaming there.

It’s common for these two movies to have been filmed one right after the other. But the real question is: were they any good?
