Starring C. Thomas Howell and Jennifer Jason Leigh, *The Hitcher* is a relentlessly tense thriller. Many films promise to keep you on the edge of your seat, but this one truly delivers. From beginning to end, the movie builds a feeling of inescapable dread, largely due to the terrifying performance of the villain, John Ryder.
When it comes to financial performance, *Tron: Ares* is performing even worse than previously massive failures. It’s so bad, it might actually make *Snow White*, starring Rachel Zegler, look like a huge success by comparison.
First Reaction – Strange Harvest is a chilling journey through a horrific crime.
As a critic, I was pleased to hear from Mary Elizabeth Winstead that her character, Hera Syndulla, will be far more present in Season 2 of *Ahsoka*. Chatting with her on the red carpet, she couldn’t give away any major plot details, but she did confirm Hera will be ‘in this season a bit more,’ and actively involved in ‘the action…quite a bit more.’ It’s great to know we’ll see more of her this time around, even if she’s keeping the specifics under wraps!
Taylor Swift has kept a lower profile during this football season after generating some controversy – and frustration from certain fans – simply by attending Travis Kelce’s games and receiving boos at the Super Bowl. We’re no longer seeing TV cameras frequently cut to her enjoying the games with celebrations like drinking beer or doing special handshakes. However, fans recently shared photos confirming she watched the Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders on October 19th.
I caught the latest episode on Wednesday, October 15th, and it was a really fun one – the show’s first ‘Drag Queen Storytime’ since *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* came back this fall. It’s interesting because Kimmel’s last season ended with a bit of a storm. He made a claim about the person who allegedly attacked Charlie Kirk, linking them to Trump supporters, which turned out to be false and led to some controversy and a temporary cancellation. So, it felt like a fresh start with this episode, and a welcome one!
A recent article in *TIME* magazine discussed the impact of *Stranger Things* and revealed details about the upcoming final season, *Stranger Things 5*. The season will be released in two parts: the first on November 26th and the second on December 25th. Some episodes will be quite long, almost like movies! The article also hints at a dramatic showdown with Vecna in the final season. You can find the full plot description below.
The conversation started on Reddit’s r/movies forum when a user named u/disablednerd asked people to share movies with low Rotten Tomatoes scores (under 20%) that they surprisingly enjoyed. They began by defending Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (which has an 18% rating), calling it surprisingly good and highlighting Nicolas Cage’s wild performance. Their point was that sometimes you don’t need a good story – you just want to see Ghost Rider breathe fire!
Soon, you’ll be able to stream Steven Spielberg’s visually impressive science fiction movie on Netflix. Released in 2018, the film is adapted from the popular novel by Ernest Cline and stars Tye Sheridan and Olivia Cooke. Ben Mendelsohn, Lena Waithe, and T.J. Miller also feature in key roles.
If this turns out to be true, it would be a surprising turn of events. The Punisher is known as a lone operator, so anyone working with him would likely be comfortable with lethal force. Considering that, we might see some strong contenders emerge in the Spider-Man: Brand New Day storyline.
