In the town of Blithe Hollow, Norman is unique – he can communicate with the dead. This ability makes him the only one who can stop a witch’s curse in the movie ParaNorman. He discovers he’s part of a long family history of people with this same gift, a lineage that has been keeping the curse at bay for 300 years. Norman initially believes he’s alone in his ability, until he meets his great-uncle, Mr. Prenderghast. Upon a recent rewatch, it became clear that the other people with supernatural abilities were likely Norman’s ancestors, which adds a powerful emotional depth to an already fantastic film.

The main Doctor Who series has been through a bit of turbulence lately, leaving its future a little unclear. Showrunner Russell T Davies recently told Radio Times how this new series will address the Doctor’s absence, and I’m eager to see how they handle it. It sounds like a fascinating way to expand the Who universe while navigating the current situation.
Get ready for some free action! Gerard Butler’s intense film, Machine Gun Preacher, will be available to stream on Tubi starting December 1st.
