Choosing just five genre films from an entire decade means some great movies inevitably get left out. Films like Independence Day, Mars Attacks!, 12 Monkeys, The Fifth Element, Galaxy Quest, Total Recall, Face/Off, and Men in Black are all fantastic, but didn’t quite reach that perfect, top-tier level.

The Fantastic Four – Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and the Thing – are some of Marvel Comics’ most popular characters, and are central to the main Marvel universe (Earth-616). Over the years, Marvel has explored many different versions and interpretations of this iconic team.

The annual Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies) have been announced, and the Prime Video film War of the Worlds was the biggest ‘winner,’ taking home five awards. It was named Worst Picture, Worst Remake, Worst Screenplay (written by Kenneth A. Golde and Marc Hyman), Worst Director (Rich Lee), and featured the Worst Actor (Ice Cube). This ties the record for the most Razzies won in the 2020s, previously held by Diana: The Musical and Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. Diana: The Musical received nine nominations, while Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey won all five of its nominations. War of the Worlds was up for six awards in total, losing only in the category of Worst Screen Couple (Ice Cube and his Zoom camera).

I’m really loving PlayStation Plus Extra! It feels like Sony’s sweet spot for a subscription – it’s not the most expensive, but the game library is seriously impressive. They’re consistently adding great games, and honestly, there are so many hidden gems and popular titles in there. It’s a fantastic value for the money, in my opinion.

The debut of KPop Demon Hunters quickly gained a following thanks to its fantastic music and the detailed world it created. It’s obvious there’s a lot of potential for future stories, and fans are already wondering what could happen next. The first film left a few key questions unanswered that we hope the next movie will address.

While we enjoy learning about heroes, there’s a line when stories reveal details that are too private, unpleasant, or simply inaccurate. A prime example is the Spider-Man: Reign storyline. Set in a bleak future where heroes are gone, it brought Spider-Man out of retirement. However, the series is now mostly remembered for a startling and unexpected reveal about Spider-Man’s biology.

After a previous warning and a short extension, all five seasons and 84 episodes of Arrested Development will officially leave Netflix tomorrow, March 15th, according to Whats-On-Netflix. The show, created by Mitchell Hurwitz, centers on a wealthy family who’ve lost their fortune and the son, Michael, who tries to hold them together. It’s considered a classic comedy that many viewers are already familiar with. For longtime Netflix subscribers, removing Arrested Development will be especially notable, as it was a key part of what made Netflix a leading streaming service in its early years.

The thriller series Scarpetta boasts a star-studded cast, including Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, and Simon Baker. Based on the popular novels by Patricia Cornwell, the show follows Kay Scarpetta, a chief medical examiner, as she returns to Virginia to resume her old job. With her return come complicated relationships, old resentments, and hidden secrets. Given the intriguing storyline, it’s not surprising that millions of viewers have already given it a watch.

A new free game called SnowBot has launched on Steam, marking the debut release for developer Inoutofit. Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with 91% of over 100 users recommending it – earning the game a “Very Positive” rating, which is Steam’s second-highest distinction. Interestingly, despite being free, SnowBot hasn’t suffered the drop in positive reviews often seen with free releases. Usually, when a paid game becomes temporarily free, its review score actually decreases, likely because a wider, less invested audience tries it. SnowBot seems to be an exception.
