The store is having a sale, making it more affordable to buy classic Sailor Moon anime and manga. Crunchyroll Mega Fans subscribers can now find almost all Sailor Moon items and merchandise offered by the streaming service at discounted prices.
Because the TV show Blue Bloods was so strongly connected to New York City – the city almost felt like a character itself over its 14 seasons – some viewers are surprised Danny would consider moving. He wants to be near his son, who is eager to establish his own life elsewhere. Donnie Wahlberg explained to People that this storyline feels realistic, as his own son also wants him to spend more time at home.
I really enjoyed Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! Even though it’s made for a younger crowd, the show does a great job of keeping the Marvel characters true to themselves. It was cool to find out Greg Yang, who’s a really talented voice actor, played Mister Negative! It was a fresh take on the villain, and honestly, because the show isn’t as widely watched, I almost missed that it was the Saturday Night Live guy doing the voice. It was a fun surprise!
As a longtime Stephen King fan, I have to say I was really impressed with the recent adaptations. Out of the six projects – both films and TV series – a remarkable five stayed incredibly faithful to the original stories. The two that took some liberties were interesting cases: The Running Man altered the ending, and The Monkey deliberately went for a lighter, more fun horror vibe, which, honestly, it pulled off. Overall, a strong showing for King on screen!
Upon its release, The Girl on the Train quickly became a bestseller, reaching the top of The New York Times Fiction Best Sellers of 2015 list and being translated into 21 languages for readers in 34 countries. Paula Hawkins crafted a suspenseful story, similar to Gone Girl, filled with murder, secrets, and deceit, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. The film adaptation, starring Emily Blunt, successfully captured that same thrilling feeling. The movie also featured Rebecca Ferguson, Haley Bennett, and Justin Theroux.
Besides the Muschiettis, Jason Fuchs joined the project as a creator and worked with Brad Caleb Kane as showrunner. The series would explore Pennywise’s history and his torment of another group of children. Brad Caleb Kane told People that the original plan for the first episode was quite different – all the kids were supposed to survive.
As of December 23rd, the movie Red One is the second most popular title on Prime Video, moving up one position from the day before, according to FlixPatrol. It’s currently just behind the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Completing the top 5 on Prime Video are Oh. What.

Although movie theaters are struggling right now, the first 25 years of this century gave us an amazing number of great films, spanning all kinds of genres – and even creating some entirely new ones. It’s fascinating to imagine what the pioneers of cinema, like the Lumière brothers and Thomas Edison, would think of modern filmmaking trends like screenlife movies or legacy sequels.
Horror films have evolved over time, starting with the iconic monsters of Universal Horror and the suspenseful films produced by Val Lewton. Japan then added the thrilling genre of giant monster movies. Throughout this history, incredible films have emerged in all types of horror, including psychological thrillers, classic monster features, slasher films, and stories that explore social issues.
The film gets off to a promising start with its opening scenes. Though not groundbreaking, director Roache-Turner takes the time to develop his characters, showing us their experiences in boot camp. Set in 1942, the film introduces a group of eager young Australian soldiers preparing for war. Between training exercises, they joke around, playfully fight, play rugby, and flirt with the nurses stationed at the camp. While some characters initially feel a bit like stereotypes, it doesn’t become distracting. These early moments help make the later violence feel more impactful.
