The new movie IF, written and directed by John Krasinski, tells the story of Bea, a young girl who discovers she can see the imaginary friends that grown-ups have forgotten. While staying with her grandmother because her father is sick, she meets Cal (Reynolds), who’s working to connect these forgotten friends with new children. Although the movie has a sweet and touching idea, critics haven’t been very kind, giving it a score of only 51%.

Stephen King’s 1986 novel It is well-known for its shocking content, and both the original two-part movie and the recent HBO Max prequel, IT: Welcome to Derry, successfully brought the story to the screen. Adapting King’s shorter works can be even harder, but the 2006 TNT anthology series Nightmares & Dreamscapes did a great job with “Battleground,” a story that came before Toy Story, turning it into a captivating hour-long episode that matched the dark humor of the original.

We’ve got two new monster movies available to stream today! They probably won’t be remembered as all-time greats, but they’re sure to provide some enjoyable scares for fans of the genre.

It’s always compelling when a villain turns good, especially if it makes them a more interesting character. For certain villains, becoming a hero actually elevates them. Here are seven DC villains who became better characters after switching sides, proving they had hidden depths all along.

Boss battles weren’t always a highlight in 90s games. For example, Goldeneye 007 was much more popular for its multiplayer mode. In contrast, games like Pokémon Red & Blue featured a series of boss fights – against Gym Leaders, your rival, and the Elite Four – that really tested your strategy. Generally, single-player games used boss battles to provide a satisfying climax or unexpected turn in the story.

As of today, Pragmata has received very positive reviews, averaging 85 out of 100 on Metacritic. This score is based on 81 critic reviews of the PlayStation 5 version. The Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC versions all received similar scores, generally between 85 and 90. Overall, Pragmata is one of the highest-rated games of 2026 so far. It remains to be seen if it will stay that way throughout the year, but it definitely seems like a game worth playing if you’re interested.

It’s become a common problem, particularly with popular TV shows over the last decade or so. The endings of shows like Game of Thrones and Stranger Things have both received strong negative reactions, and the creator of The Boys, Eric Kripke, experienced this before with his show Supernatural, which continued for ten seasons beyond his initial five-season plan. He’s very conscious of this issue, and it’s directly influencing Season 5 of The Boys through a new character, a repulsive Supe named the Worm, who talks about writing the script for a TV show’s finale.

Before Cillian Murphy blew us all away as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, he was already showing his knack for playing complex, captivating characters. I recently rediscovered Red Eye, a Wes Craven thriller from 2005 where he plays Jackson Rippner, a really charismatic but scary guy who basically forces a hotel manager, Lisa Reisert (played brilliantly by Rachel McAdams), to help him with a dangerous plan on a transatlantic flight. When it first came out, it was seen as a solid, fun thriller, but over the years, it’s really gained a following – it’s become one of those underappreciated cult favorites that I think more people should check out. It started streaming on Peacock on April 1st, so I revisited it recently and was reminded how good it is!

Recently, One Piece has been gaining more popularity, especially with Netflix working on the third season of its live-action series. This momentum got another boost when The Boys – another hit comic-turned-TV show – included a subtle nod to One Piece. In the premiere episode of The Boys‘ final season on Prime Video, fans spotted the Straw Hat Pirates’ logo hidden in the background. It’s a fun Easter egg for fans of both series!
