Walter Hill directed several exciting action films, including lesser-known gems like Extreme Prejudice starring Nick Nolte, Red Heat with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the stylish Streets of Fire. He also made the tense, single-location thriller Trespass, and the popular 48 Hrs., featuring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. However, many consider his best film to be The Warriors. Interestingly, some even prefer the 2005 video game adaptation made by Rockstar Games, finding it even more fun.

Reliable gaming leaker shinobi602 claims Ubisoft has a specific release date planned for the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake. While the game won’t be shown at this week’s PlayStation State of Play, shinobi602 suggests a reveal is coming soon, meaning Ubisoft likely won’t keep quiet for much longer.

As a huge fan of the Phantasy Star Online 2 series, I’ve always been blown away by how much you can customize your character. It’s not just a little feature – it’s a core part of the whole experience, both in the original PSO2 and now in New Genesis. Honestly, it’s gotten to the point where character creation feels like a game within the game! No other game even comes close to offering this level of freedom, detail, or the ability to really shape your character over the long term. It’s incredible!

Megan Thee Stallion has been hinting at an anime project for a while, and officially confirmed it last year. She recently shared an update on social media, revealing she’s begun recording her voice for a character in the show. The project is being produced by Carl Jones, known for shows like The Boondocks and Black Dynamite, and the anime is likely titled Hotties. Megan seems really excited about it – you can see her announcement below.

Okay, fellow movie and TV lovers, heads up! There’s only a week left to catch Warrior on Netflix. It’s a really fantastic show – based on an idea by Bruce Lee himself, and his daughter, Shannon Lee, was heavily involved as a producer. It ran for three seasons, a total of 30 episodes, originally on Cinemax and HBO Max from 2019 to 2023. It’s set in San Francisco during the brutal Tong Wars of the late 1870s, and follows Ah Sahm, an incredible martial artist who comes to America and ends up getting involved with a powerful crime family while battling other gangs in Chinatown. It just landed on Netflix in February 2024, but sadly, it’s leaving the platform on February 16th, so make sure you check it out before it’s gone!

The mid to late 2000s were a fascinating time for DC Comics and its readers. Beginning with 2005’s Infinite Crisis, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC started revisiting beloved elements of its comics and the idea of a vast multiverse. It was a really creative period, with top comic book writers and artists reimagining classic characters and teams. Grant Morrison was writing Batman at the time, and had been developing ideas for a huge, epic story (originally called Hypercrisis) for years. This finally came to fruition as Final Crisis, a comic that’s become known as one of the most intricate and often misinterpreted events in comic book history. While it’s definitely a complex story, that complexity is a big part of what makes it so compelling.

The game now has a new, attention-grabbing theme song and a trailer that focuses on its action-packed combat. We also get a first look at the strange creatures Romeo will battle as a member of the FBI’s Space-Time Police. Armed with a variety of weapons, Romeo’s journey promises to take him to bizarre and unusual locations.

We didn’t include Wanda Maximoff on the list because, to our knowledge, she died at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While it would be unexpected, she might actually stay that way. However, the other heroes we’ve left out have no indication of returning – and some haven’t been seen in years.

As a huge fan of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, I know a lot of us have been hoping to see more development between Fern and Stark, and it’s so cool to hear the voice actors feel the same way! Kana Ichinose (Fern’s voice) and Chiaki Kobayashi (Stark’s voice) recently talked about the potential romance between their characters, and honestly, Ichinose perfectly captured what many of us are thinking – she quoted Sein, saying, “Let’s just go out and date already!!!” It’s really exciting to see them acknowledge the fans’ enthusiasm and their own excitement about this blossoming dynamic.

In the final moments of Born Again season one, Daredevil realizes he needs to build a team to take on Mayor Fisk and his task force designed to stop vigilantes. Fisk has already rounded up many of New York’s heroes and locked them up, including The Punisher. It seems likely that rescuing these captured heroes will be a key focus of season two, and the initial trailer suggests just that.
