Throughout the video, Hadfield generally offers positive feedback. However, he does point out some instances where the movie takes liberties with the truth.

Lawrence Kasdan, the director who adapted Stephen King’s Dreamcatcher, shared that King prioritizes adaptations that capture the emotional core of his stories. He’s not concerned with strict, scene-by-scene accuracy as long as the essence of the book is preserved. So, which film best embodies the spirit of the original while also being a well-made movie? The answer is 1408, directed by Mikael Håfström.

Created by Vince Gilligan, the mind behind Breaking Bad, the show quickly became a huge success, becoming Apple TV+’s most-watched program. While Apple TV+ has already ordered a second season, Gilligan recently shared some less-than-ideal news about its progress in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

I was reading an interview with Paul Rudd over at ScreenRant, and they were talking about the new Anaconda movie he’s doing. The conversation somehow turned to souvenirs from his old films, and he said he doesn’t actually have any props he kept. But he confessed his biggest regret is not grabbing the Sex Panther cologne from the original Anchorman! He said it didn’t even occur to him to try and get it until after they finished filming, and he was kicking himself wondering why he hadn’t even asked!

Some argue that bringing back the original Avengers actors feels forced and diminishes the satisfying conclusions their characters previously received. The directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, recently hinted at a connection between their previous work and the new films. While fans worried the new story might undo past events, those concerns may be misplaced. Robert Downey Jr. is playing a completely different character, ensuring Tony Stark’s sacrifice remains meaningful. Plus, the teaser trailer didn’t show Chris Evans with aging makeup, suggesting his character already experienced the events of Doomsday and Secret Wars. These new movies could reveal the origins of the shield Sam Wilson now carries.

The first trailer for the upcoming Madden movie is out, and it features Nicolas Cage playing John Madden and Christian Bale as Al Davis. The film is scheduled to hit theaters next Thanksgiving in 2026. You can watch the trailer here:

I have to say, 2025 was an amazing year for television, and two shows really stood out for me: the hilarious and over-the-top comedy The Righteous Gemstones, and the intense, gripping medical drama The Pitt. Those were definitely my favorites!

What really stood out about the 2019 film Alita: Battle Angel was how it resonated with fans. Though critics weren’t overly impressed and it didn’t perform exceptionally well in theaters, anime enthusiasts embraced the movie, directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, and it’s since gained a dedicated following as a cult favorite.

In the movie Marty Supreme, Timothée Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a fiercely competitive ping-pong player who never gives up. Apparently, Chalamet brought that same dedication to the film’s production, insisting on realism in every scene – even one where his co-star, Kevin O’Leary, had to playfully spank him.

Inigo’s quest for revenge—his search for the man who killed his father—is central to his development as a character, even while he’s caught up in other fights. The showdown between Inigo and the Man in Black perfectly captures the spirit of The Princess Bride, highlighting both skillful sword fighting and honorable conduct. Though they don’t realize it at the time, the duel between Inigo and Westley is what ultimately brings the entire story together.
