When it was announced that filming for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi would begin on January 11th, 1982, excitement was incredibly high. This was the final chapter in a trilogy that had, up to that point, been flawless. The movie really needed to deliver a satisfying conclusion. And if you ask fans – both then and now – most would probably say it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Let’s explore why, and what aspects fall short compared to the first two films.

The HBO Max series Industry has returned for its fourth season and is better than ever. It started strong in 2020 with a 76% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but each season has seen significant improvement. Season 2 earned a 96% score, followed by Season 3 with an impressive 98%. Early reviews for Season 4 give it a 95% rating, suggesting the show continues to deliver high quality.

Okay, so I recently finished watching 11.22.63 on Hulu, and it’s a really compelling series. James Franco plays Jake Epping, a teacher who gets pulled into this crazy situation – his friend shows him how to travel back in time. The friend tried for years to prevent the JFK assassination, but couldn’t, so he passes the mission onto Jake. Basically, Jake has to go back to 1963 and try to stop Lee Harvey Oswald. But what’s fascinating is that the past doesn’t want to be changed. Every time Jake tries to alter things, it pushes back, and he starts to realize messing with history could ruin the life he’s building in the past. It’s a really gripping story and explores how difficult – and dangerous – changing history truly is.

The latest issue of DC K.O. reveals the matchups for round three, including exciting fights like Superman versus Green Lantern Guy Gardner and Joker versus Zatanna. While it’s usually easy to predict the winners, DC K.O. isn’t a typical competition. Nevertheless, we can still make informed predictions about each fight. Keep reading to see the round three pairings and who we think will win!

On January 10, 1999, Batman Beyond premiered on the WB, reimagining the DC hero in a futuristic setting. This version of Batman was a fresh, modern take, featuring a younger hero with updated technology and a new set of villains enabled by the world of tomorrow. However, the series didn’t receive a typical finale. Years later, fans learned that an episode of Justice League Unlimited actually concluded the story.

For players who enjoy gaming on both PC and consoles, DC Universe Online stands out as a top choice. Launched on January 11, 2011, the game cleverly used the rich history of DC Comics to create an accessible MMORPG experience. Even 15 years later, with a massive amount of content available, DC Universe Online remains a prime example of how well the superhero theme can translate to the MMORPG genre.

Once Steven Spielberg became a top director in Hollywood, he leveraged his success to produce many other films. He helped bring popular sci-fi movies like Back to the Future and Men in Black to life – he even convinced Will Smith to star in Men in Black. Some of the films he produces are just as good as his own directing work. Interestingly, he wasn’t the director of what many consider his best sci-fi film from the last 15 years, but that might be about to change with a new release this summer.

The movie adaptation of John O’Leary’s memoir and self-help book, Soul on Fire, shares his inspiring story of recovery after a devastating accident left him severely burned. The film focuses on his journey to live a full life, prove his capabilities, and give back to his family, community, and the city of St. Louis – with support from a longtime hero. Critics and audiences are both responding positively, giving it an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer and a 98% score on the Popcornmeter.

The success of Resident Evil 4 significantly changed the direction of the Resident Evil series, inspiring many new ideas. But its influence went far beyond just the franchise; it revolutionized gameplay and became one of the most important games of the 21st century. Now, over twenty years later, it’s clear just how much of an impact Resident Evil 4 had on the world of gaming.

Professor X’s appearance in the new Avengers: Doomsday movie suggests he’ll be in serious danger, and many fans think he might die. This wouldn’t be the first time – he’s been killed off four times before in Marvel films. This time, we’re ranking those deaths not by how sad or important they were, but by how suddenly and unexpectedly they happened.
