The new series, Memory of a Killer, is inspired by the 2003 Belgian film The Alzheimer’s Case. Reviewer Liam Matthews of The Wrap notes that the first two episodes introduce many plotlines, but the story moves quickly and is exciting. It’s surprising – and compelling – to see the actor best known for romantic comedies playing a ruthless killer. Matthews believes the show has potential, as long as it doesn’t try to cover too much ground.

As of February 11th, the zombie horror film Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula (released in 2020 as a standalone sequel) won’t be available to stream on Peacock. It’s currently playing alongside Wes Anderson’s 2023 film, Asteroid City, but there are no immediate plans to add Peninsula to the platform.

Megan Hayes is known for her comedic roles in shows like Childrens Hospital, Worst Week, and Grimsberg. While she previously played a comedic mother on Kevin Can Wait (a role that upset some fans), she hasn’t yet starred as the mother figure in a heartwarming, romantic drama. Her new show, It’s Not Like That, could change that, and she recently told US Weekly why she believes it will appeal to a broad audience.

As a huge movie fan, I was really captivated by this film. It’s a deep dive into why George Orwell’s writing – especially classics like 1984 and Animal Farm – still feels so incredibly important today. He was way ahead of his time, predicting a frightening future that, sadly, feels all too real now. Director Raoul Peck, who previously made the amazing I Am Not Your Negro, worked directly with the Orwell Estate to create something special. He masterfully blends old footage, excerpts from Orwell’s personal writings, scenes from other films, and current events to give us a fresh look at both the man and just how shockingly relevant his warnings remain.

At the Sundance Film Festival, Chris Pine didn’t seem hopeful about returning as Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek 4. He jokingly told reporters, “You probably know more than I do,” according to Comic Book Resources. When asked what advice he’d give to the next crew of the Enterprise, Pine simply said, “Have fun, good luck, and live long and prosper.”

A recent job posting from Amazon Prime Video suggested the company is exploring the use of artificial intelligence to create dubbed versions of anime for different regions. The posting, which has since been removed, specifically mentioned using AI for dubbing popular anime series as part of Prime Video’s localization efforts.

Kristen Stewart is known for being outspoken about issues she cares about. In a recent interview with The Times, she discussed the difficult challenges many actresses face while trying to earn respect from their colleagues. She explained:

Highest 2 Lowest is a fresh take on the classic 1963 film, High and Low. The story follows David King, a powerful music executive in New York City, who is fighting to keep his company independent. Things take a dramatic turn when someone plans to kidnap David’s son for a large ransom, but mistakenly abducts the child of his chauffeur instead.

The Best Actor award, like Best Actress, has been given to many of Hollywood’s most celebrated and talented performers. Winning isn’t just about being popular; the truly deserving winners have delivered performances that will be remembered as classics for generations.

By the end of Season 2, Sauron still largely maintained his guise as Annatar, only changing from elegant Elven clothing to menacing black armor. While he could continue to appear this way, it would be more compelling if he transformed into a frightening and monstrous form, visually representing the darkness within him. A little-known piece of Tolkien’s writing offers a great explanation for this change, and connects to a debated plot point from the second season of The Rings of Power.
