Now that season two of the Apple TV+ thriller Hijack has finished and its future is uncertain, the show’s creator, Jim Field Smith, is discussing potential storylines. The series centers on Sam Nelson, a skilled negotiator who finds himself dealing with hostage crises – first on a flight to Dubai, and then on a train in Berlin.
Paramount is working on a new G.I. Joe movie, but the writers they’ve chosen seem like an unusual fit for the franchise. The studio wants this reboot to succeed where past films have failed, but releasing it in theaters might not be the best strategy, considering other available options. The recent success of a shared comic book universe created by Hasbro and Skybound suggests that G.I. Joe’s future lies with streaming and other platforms, not just traditional movie theaters.
Since the very beginning of Starfleet Academy, a recurring joke has been woven throughout the show. Steven Colbert’s character, the Digital Dean, constantly comments on a background story that initially seems like a nod to Star Trek: Voyager. However, the joke also subtly echoes themes from The Original Series. Though this storyline has sometimes taken a backseat to more pressing events, the ninth episode, “300th Night,” subtly hints at what’s to come.
Okay, so let’s be real – Battleship isn’t a cinematic masterpiece. It’s a 2012 sci-fi action movie starring Liam Neeson, and it’s… well, it’s based on the board game! The cast includes Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, and even Rihanna making her movie debut. Critics definitely weren’t kind, calling it unoriginal and confusing. Honestly, it’s not great. But, I’m a completionist when it comes to Liam Neeson, so I was happy to find it’s currently streaming on Tubi for free!
Whether you enjoy quirky comedies like the excellent How To Get to Heaven from Belfast or intense thrillers like The Sinner, Netflix offers a crime show to suit every taste. If you’re a fan of dark and humorous crime dramas such as Breaking Bad or Sneaky Pete, you’ll likely enjoy Ozark as well.
Coppola’s film was a huge hit, winning the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival even though it wasn’t fully completed. It received eight Academy Award nominations, including for Best Picture and Director, and earned $150 million in theaters for United Artists. The film is still celebrated today for its beautiful visuals and strong performances, with Robert Duvall’s line about napalm becoming iconic. However, a line delivered by Marlon Brando’s character, Colonel Kurtz, carries a much darker weight.
The Batman 2 will reportedly begin filming on May 29, 2026, in London, as per a new report.
Though Taylor had appeared in films since 2010, her role in One Battle After Another is seen as the performance that truly launched her career, establishing her as a major Hollywood star. In the film, she plays Perfidia, a radical activist who leads a group called French 75. Perfidia has a complicated past with Bob Ferguson (played by DiCaprio) and is the mother of Willa (Chase Infiniti). When Perfidia betrays them to avoid going to prison, the two are forced to live in hiding. Taylor won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar for her performance, so it’s no surprise she’s eager for director Anderson to make a sequel and revisit the character.
I just finished watching this new Netflix miniseries, and it’s a real slow burn. It centers around a professor whose seemingly perfect life starts to unravel on two fronts. First, her husband, who also teaches, gets caught up in a scandal. But even more compelling is the arrival of a younger, incredibly charismatic colleague named Vladimir. The main character, played by Rachel Weisz, becomes completely fixated on him, and honestly, it’s a fascinating, if unsettling, watch. It’s less about a dramatic affair and more about a creeping obsession that really gets under your skin.
