It’s not shocking that the film feels tonally inconsistent, jumping between different types of comedy without fully coming together. However, it’s surprisingly effective at avoiding feeling like a self-indulgent look at celebrity struggles. Jonah Hill, who co-wrote the script with Ezra Woods, doesn’t ask us to feel sorry for his character, but to simply understand him. And we do, largely thanks to Keanu Reeves’ performance. Reeves has always carried his fame with quiet humility, and that naturalness makes it easy to root for Reef Hawk, a popular actor trying to rebuild his career after a five-year break and getting sober. Over time, criticism of Reeves’ acting has transformed into a genuine appreciation for his seemingly effortless authenticity, which is particularly helpful given the film’s difficulty in balancing humor and serious moments.

For thirteen seasons, Sam and Dean Winchester were in every single episode, no matter how difficult things became. But the start of Season 14, with the episode “Stranger in a Strange Land,” changed that. Following the dramatic events at the end of Season 13, Dean was possessed by the archangel Michael from another world, and the show had to navigate a storyline it hadn’t faced before.

Wilson Bethel’s portrayal of Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, also known as Bullseye, was particularly wild and unpredictable in the fourth episode of Daredevil: Born Again, which premiered on April 8th and generated a lot of excitement online.

A-Train, played by Jessie T. Usher, is a speedster who first appeared in the very first episode of the series. He was originally part of ‘The Seven,’ a superhero team created by Vought International for publicity. For years, he followed the orders of the ruthless Homelander, but began to question things in season four, ultimately leaving Vought. In the season five premiere, A-Train emerges from hiding to rescue Hughie, Frenchie, and Mother’s Milk from a prison camp, but Homelander spots him and gives chase. A-Train swerves to avoid hitting a bystander – a direct reference to the show’s opening scene where he ran through someone – and crashes. This leaves him defenseless, and after confronting Homelander, he is killed.

Ray Gunn is an animated film that director Brad Bird has described as a unique mix of science fiction and old-fashioned detective stories. He compares it to a combination of The Maltese Falcon and Buck Rogers.

As a huge fan of Wednesday, I was thrilled to hear Netflix is adding some fantastic new faces for season 3! They’ve cast Lena Headey (you know, Cersei from Game of Thrones), James Lance (Ted Lasso is brilliant!), and Andrew McCarthy (The Resident) in guest roles. They’ll all be part of the Nevermore Academy world, but Netflix is keeping details about their characters a secret for now. Production is already underway near Dublin, and I can’t wait to see how they fit into the story!

No one really expected the first season of One Piece to be any good. Netflix hasn’t had much success with live-action anime adaptations, leading many to believe that anime’s unique and imaginative worlds just don’t translate well to live-action. This was the general feeling about One Piece – a series with over 1000 anime episodes and still going – even before it premiered on Netflix.

Even though he wasn’t in many movies and often played characters defined by his size, André the Giant always delivered a strong performance, even when his roles didn’t require a lot of speaking.

Animated movies have become incredibly popular recently, finding success both in cinemas and on streaming services. In 2025, Disney’s Zootopia 2 became one of the highest-grossing films of all time—and the most successful Disney animated movie ever.
