I’m so excited for everything happening with Stranger Things! The stage play is already a hit both in London’s West End and on Broadway, and now we’ve learned that an animated series, Stranger Things: Tales from ’85, is coming out in 2026. It’s going to be amazing!
While attempts to recreate the success of The Strangers haven’t gone well – the recent Chapter 2 earned about the same worldwide as the original did in its opening weekend – the first Strangers remains a genuinely effective horror film. It’s a short, scary movie, clocking in at just 86 minutes, and now available to stream on Netflix. Though initially overlooked, the original has gained a reputation as a modern horror classic, something its sequels haven’t managed to achieve.
It’s still unclear how involved Sylvester Stallone will be in the new film, as this is the first time he hasn’t written any part of it. The script is being handled by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, who previously worked on The Mauritanian. Development of the prequel, currently called John Rambo, picked up momentum a few months ago when Noah Centineo, known for The Recruit, was cast as the lead role. Lionsgate then secured the rights to distribute the movie worldwide in November.
It’s surprising there aren’t more movies about Thanksgiving! The holiday, though brief, is all about being with family and enjoying time together. After the big meal, many people relax by watching TV or a movie while they digest and unwind. To help you find something perfect for the occasion, we’ve compiled a list of eight films that capture the warm, thankful feeling of Thanksgiving, whether you’re celebrating with your relatives or your chosen family.
The competition between Amazon’s Reacher and Jack Ryan was very close, but Reacher likely came out ahead due to its strong first and third seasons, while Jack Ryan ended with a disappointing final season. Although Jack Ryan concluded after four seasons, the possibility of John Krasinski returning to the role hinted that the story might not be over.
Coach Ben is currently being held captive by the girls after they found him again in the wilderness. They’ve severed his last Achilles tendon to stop him from running away, and he’s refusing to eat, wishing for death. So far, a vision of him being essential to their rescue has kept him alive, but what happens next reveals just how much the girls have changed and lost their humanity.
Christopher Nolan’s Batman films – Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012) – are highly regarded by DC Comics fans as being among the greatest Batman movies ever made, with The Dark Knight being particularly praised.
Since the beginning of the Netflix show in 2016, fans have suspected that Vecna – who is also known as Henry Creel and One – was secretly involved in a particular scene from the first season. The reveal that Vecna was the mastermind behind everything sparked this curiosity about his hidden presence.
I’m completely captivated by the family dynamics in Landman, which you can stream on Paramount+. Honestly, the relationships are intense. Take Tommy, played by Billy Bob Thornton – his connection with Angela (Ali Larter) is a whirlwind of arguments and, surprisingly, passion. And don’t even get me started on his strained communication with Ainsley (Michelle Randolph)! It seems like Tommy struggles to connect with pretty much everyone in the Norris family, creating a lot of drama. It’s a wild ride watching it all unfold!
Vecna, also known as Henry Creel, successfully opened a new gateway to Hawkins, putting the town – and potentially the world – in danger. While Eleven has regained her powers and Vecna is weakened, he’s on track to become more powerful than ever as the boundary between worlds fades. Adding to the challenges, Max remains in a coma fighting for her life, and Eleven is being hunted by the military, leaving our heroes facing incredibly difficult odds.
