Details are scarce about the new Evil Dead Wrath film, except that Francis Galluppi, known for his work on The Last Stop In Yuma Country, is directing. It’s likely this movie will be another standalone story, continuing the trend of recent Evil Dead installments. The franchise began with the 1981 film Evil Dead, which followed a group of friends who accidentally unleash terrifying forces after finding a mysterious book, the Necronomicon, in a remote cabin. The original trilogy then centered on Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), one of those friends, and his battle against the undead. Ash continued his adventures in the TV series Ash vs Evil Dead, which ran for three seasons on Starz.

The new Marvel movie coming out this summer, titled “Brand New Day,” is already generating excitement. But Marvel isn’t stopping there – they’re also bringing back a famous and often debated period from Spider-Man’s comic book history. This means Peter Parker’s story will continue at the same time in both movie theaters and comic books.

Pixar has a long history of successful and popular films, but its recent releases have been less reliable, particularly when it comes to box office numbers. While Inside Out 2 was a critical and commercial triumph – initially becoming the highest-grossing animated film ever with nearly $1.7 billion worldwide (though later surpassed by Ne Zha 2 and Zootopia 2), and still ranking among the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time – the following film, Elio, received positive reviews but didn’t perform well financially, earning $154 million globally despite a production budget of $150 million.

I noticed something interesting today – Bandai Namco, the company known for games like Dragon Ball and One Piece, seems to have accidentally revealed a new project they hadn’t announced yet, and it’s connected to Akira Toriyama’s work!

AMC’s Mayfair Witches centers around Rowan Fielding, a talented neurosurgeon, who learns she comes from a long line of powerful witches. She discovers this while investigating a haunting in New Orleans and realizing she has dangerous psychic abilities. Rowan must then face a malevolent spirit named Lasher as she comes to terms with her heritage.

Although Netflix’s Bridgerton deserves praise for its diverse cast and fantastic music, it’s not without flaws. The show features a large number of characters and storylines, which can sometimes feel like too much. Also, not all of the romantic pairings have strong chemistry, something that’s usually a key strength in romance shows.

HBO’s series Rome aimed to capture the grand scale of films like Gladiator. It prioritized dramatic spectacle over historical accuracy, pushing the boundaries of violence that HBO was already known for.

According to FlixPatrol, the TV series The Chosen is currently the third most popular show on iTunes as of February 21, 2022. It quickly rose in the rankings, starting at number seven on February 20th. This jump is likely due to a sale on iTunes offering the complete first five seasons for just $19.99 – a significant discount from the regular price of $79.99. This offer is temporary, so anyone interested in watching the series should purchase the bundle soon to take advantage of the lower price.

The Star Trek: Voyager episode “Retrospect” is often considered one of the show’s weakest, largely due to its controversial handling of a sensitive topic. Beyond the storyline about depending too much on technology, the episode was criticized upon release – and continues to appear on “worst episode” lists – for its awkward attempt to explore the issues surrounding repressed memory therapy and the anxieties of the “satanic panic” era.

In The Dreadful, Anne, played by Turner, battles for survival under the control of her overbearing mother-in-law, Morwen (Marcia Gay Harden).

Set during the 15th-century War of the Roses, the film was released in theaters by Lionsgate on February 20th and is now also available to rent or buy digitally.
