The new book, Superman: The Art and Making of the Film, features an introduction by director James Gunn explaining his vision for the movie. Gunn draws inspiration from classic Superman comics, but also acknowledges the filmmakers who came before him. He specifically credits Zack Snyder’s 2013 film, Man of Steel, as a major influence, stating that he “adored” it. In the book’s introduction, Gunn details the many creators whose work informed his approach to the film.

In an interview with The New York Times, author Clarke stated she’s done writing fantasy novels, jokingly adding that she’ll likely never write about dragons again. She said, “You’re highly unlikely to see me get on a dragon, or even in the same frame as a dragon, ever again.”

Often, even beloved movies gain deeper meaning as we get older, and some actually improve with time. Some filmmakers intentionally create stories that will resonate for generations, while others simply benefit from the fact that life experience helps us appreciate the subtle details and complexities of a film. This means there are plenty of movies we can revisit again and again and still enjoy.

An exciting new project is the upcoming Mister Miracle series, inspired by the popular comic book by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. This animated series will focus on DC’s New Gods, including the powerful villain Darkseid. Often considered DC’s equivalent to Marvel’s Thanos, Darkseid’s appearance in any DC project is significant, as he’s one of their most iconic and formidable foes.

As a huge fan, it’s amazing how relevant WarGames still is today, especially with all the talk about AI and how much we rely on technology. It’s not your typical movie with a bad guy trying to destroy everything. What really gets me is that it’s about systems and protocols working as intended – and that being the problem! It shows how a catastrophe can happen simply because the machines are doing exactly what they were built to do. Even after forty-three years, Hollywood is still trying to capture what this movie did – it was way ahead of its time in realizing that the most terrifying part of war isn’t the weapons themselves, but the systems designed to use them.

During the Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser made a playful joke about Michael B. Jordan’s role in Sinners, where he plays twin brothers. She said seeing him in the film made her “Nikki B. Jerkin’,” a play on his name. A clip of Glaser’s joke—including Jordan’s reaction and a moment of his mother, Donna, taking a drink—was shown when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Kimmel then asked Jordan if his mother ever feels awkward when women openly express their attraction to him, and Jordan responded:

Here are the details for the film: It will be released on January 16, 2026, and is directed by Nia DaCosta with a screenplay by Alex Garland. The film stars Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, Chi Lewis-Parry, and Cillian Murphy. It is rated R for strong bloody violence, gore, graphic nudity, language, and some drug use, and has a runtime of 109 minutes.

The new film Hit Man is quickly becoming popular on HBO Max, currently ranking as the fourth most-watched movie worldwide. It’s behind Leonardo DiCaprio’s highly-rated One Battle After Another at number one, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon in second, and the horror film Clown in a Cornfield in third. Hit Man was co-written by Richard Linklater, Glen Powell, and Skip Hollandsworth, and is inspired by the true story of Gary Johnson, though the character of Madison, played by Adria Arjona, and her storyline are made up.

In the rural areas, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), who appeared in ’28 Years Later’, resides in a place called The Bone Temple – a structure filled with the skulls of the infected, where he’s managed to stay safe. He isn’t the only familiar face; Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), the large, infected, and naked leader of wandering groups, also returns. Kelson, covered in iodine, is using his medical expertise to try to control the infected’s violent cannibalism, and he’s starting to see glimmers of Samson’s former self. Kelson’s research might hold the key to a cure, while Sir Jimmy’s actions threaten to further reduce the already dwindling human population.

Despite being released almost a year ago, the 2025 film The Alto Knights hasn’t received the attention it deserves. While it’s not perfect, it’s an enjoyable movie, especially for fans of gangster films, and features a popular actor in a new mafia story. It’s time to revisit this film with fresh eyes.
