Released in 1995 and directed by Tobe Hooper with Robert Englund in the lead role, The Mangler wasn’t a critical success—Stephen King himself considers it one of his least favorite adaptations. Despite its strangeness, the film is worth revisiting, particularly for its exploration of capitalism, its gritty industrial look, and its steampunk-inspired villain. Hooper’s direction and Englund’s energetic performance transformed an already outlandish story into something surprisingly atmospheric and meaningful, and its themes feel just as relevant now as they did then.

It’s interesting that Batman, despite often needing help himself, is usually hesitant to ask other heroes – even his allies in the Bat-Family or the Justice League – for assistance. However, he almost always jumps at the chance to help them, or even heroes from other universes, with incredibly difficult problems. He doesn’t do it out of generosity, though; he simply believes he’s the best person to get the job done.

Ever wondered which actors have appeared in the most films? Some of the names topping the list might surprise you.

Recent episodes of Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 were full of backstabbing and difficult choices, leaving only five players still in the competition. These finalists survived against 451 other contestants, including an NFL cheerleader, a retired bomb disposal expert, and a SoulCycle instructor.

George Clooney appeared on a segment of The Graham Norton Show ahead of the release of his upcoming Netflix movie Jay Kelly, which hit the 2025 movie calendar on November 14 for a short theatrical run. When asked about the prank war between the Wolfs stars, Clooney admitted that they’ve done “terrible things” to each other, and he thinks it all started when they were filming Ocean’s Eleven. He recalled:

Disney and ESPN leaders Alan Bergman, Dana Walden, and Jimmy Pitaro announced a new agreement that shows their dedication to providing great entertainment and adapting to modern viewing habits. This deal acknowledges the high quality of Disney’s content and gives YouTube TV customers more options. They’re happy that Disney networks are back on YouTube TV in time for viewers to enjoy this weekend’s programming, including college football.

This movie is deeply unsettling and often feels like a blend of The Omen and The Passion of the Christ. While it pushes the main character through some very difficult experiences, these hardships ultimately contribute to his transformation and journey toward becoming a savior-like figure.

I recently spoke with Jacob Lofland and Paulina Chávez, who star as Cooper and Ariana in the upcoming season of Landman, available on Paramount+. They shared some insights into what viewers can expect. As Cooper gets more involved in the oil industry, he’s facing new and challenging situations – and a lot of oil! He’s going to find himself completely immersed in this world, both figuratively and literally.

The recent developments have sparked a lot of discussion about what’s next for Robert Downey Jr. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and whether there’s a link between Doctor Doom and Tony Stark/Iron Man. While this idea isn’t entirely new – comic book readers have seen similar storylines before – the connection isn’t straightforward. Many fans immediately think of the Infamous Iron Man comic, where Doctor Doom briefly became Iron Man, but that doesn’t quite align with what we’re seeing. However, other comic book arcs featuring alternate versions of Tony Stark becoming Doctor Doom could influence how the character is ultimately revealed in Avengers: Doomsday.

It’s currently unknown if the Labubu movie will be animated or live-action, and no producer or director has been announced yet. The Labubu monster figurines became even more popular after Chinese company Pop Mart began handling their production and distribution in 2019.
