I’m really excited about this new film starring Emma Stone – she’s fantastic and has a great history with the director, having been in films like Kinds of Kindness, The Favourite, and Poor Things with him before. The cast is packed with talent, including Alicia Silverstone and Aidan Delbis, but Jesse Plemons really stands out. He’s consistently amazing in everything he does, and he’s particularly brilliant when he gets to play someone truly flawed or even awful. This role lets him explore that grey area, but most people probably know him best for playing a really despicable character in what I think is one of the best TV shows ever made.
Despite some scenes feeling surreal and over-the-top, the movie generally presents everything as actually happening. This leads to the film’s conclusion, which clearly criticizes harmful ideas about what it means to be a man. Here’s a breakdown of the ending of The Surfer and what it all means.

It always seemed unlikely that Blumhouse could convince fans that Halloween Ends offered a fitting conclusion to the iconic series, especially with its strange story about a young man influenced by Michael Myers’ evil. In Hollywood, profit usually wins, and a character as popular as Michael Myers – ‘The Shape’ – will likely keep appearing in new movies. Plus, the franchise already delivered a near-perfect ending back in 1998 with Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later, which achieved most of what the recent trilogy attempted, but in a concise 86 minutes instead of over five hours.
XING Inc., the company behind the popular karaoke system JOYSOUND, recently surveyed its users to determine their favorite artists and anime.

The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing—was the most popular choice in the anime and game category. It even outperformed the highest-grossing anime film of all time, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, which came in fourth. The poll included responses from 1,621 JOYSOUND users and was conducted between September 19th and October 13th, 2025.
The new Marvel logo for 2025 includes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and even the Punisher, representing the main heroes from the old Netflix ‘Defenders’ series. However, Iron Fist, played by Finn Jones in those shows, is notably missing from the logo.
