For decades, Sherlock Holmes has been reimagined across many different forms of media. Because the rights to the character are somewhat flexible, creators have had the freedom to put their own spin on the stories. One of the most successful modern updates is the BBC’s Sherlock, a series created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss that cleverly moves the iconic detective into the present day.
Beyond that, Se7en is widely considered one of the greatest horror films ever made. Because of that, when people think of Brad Pitt and David Fincher working together, Se7en often comes to mind. However, they actually collaborated on a third film, 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and I wish more people remembered it.
Most moviegoers probably don’t know what condiments Bruce Springsteen prefers on his hot dogs, but some dedicated fans do. This has led to online debate about a detail in the upcoming 2025 film starring Jeremy Allen White as The Boss. In the movie, Springsteen says he likes mustard on his hot dogs, but a Twitter user named GenZBruceFan has shared video proof that he actually prefers something else.
Many fantasy TV shows are perfect for watching all at once, but others unfold over several years and build a huge, dedicated fanbase. It’s common for shows that run a long time to eventually lose quality, leaving viewers unsatisfied. However, the shows we’re talking about are exceptions – they’re lengthy, but consistently excellent and worth investing your time in.

I grew up loving the original Goosebumps books and the TV show, so I was thrilled that this new movie, R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead, feels much more like the Goosebumps I remember. If you also enjoyed the series as a kid in the ’90s and want a nostalgic trip down memory lane, this movie is definitely for you. Here’s why…
Occasionally, comics don’t age well and actually show us what not to do when writing a story. It’s important to remember that even though these stories might seem bad now, a lot of people worked hard to create them. While some stories are clearly problematic, many are simply a reflection of the time they were made, influenced by the culture and norms of that era. Certain moments from Marvel’s past would likely be viewed very differently today.
Season 2 of House of the Dragon proved controversial, creating disagreement among both fans of the books and viewers of the show. This puts a lot of pressure on Season 3, but all signs suggest HBO is prepared to deliver. They seem to be addressing criticism of the second season’s somewhat disappointing ending by promising a more action-filled set of episodes. Filming began earlier this year and finished in October. The show is now in the editing and special effects phase, with a planned release date of June 2026.
While the film touches on the relationship between Zionist settlers and Palestinians, its main focus is the large-scale revolt against thirty years of British colonial rule in Palestine. The film highlights how the British authorities manipulated tensions between both groups to serve their own goals. Though Jacir criticizes Zionist violence, she expresses even greater anger towards the British ruling class, who largely ignored Palestinian concerns. The film also acknowledges the diverse range of opinions within the Palestinian community during this period of unrest.
Several films entered the fall season with high expectations and a strong chance of success, but they’ll need to prove themselves. Hamnet ultimately stood out at the fall film festivals, while One Battle After Another bypassed the festivals altogether and gained early praise as one of the year’s best. Meanwhile, Marty Supreme unexpectedly premiered at the New York Film Festival, potentially making it a competitor to these frontrunners, even though it won’t be released until Christmas.
