DC and Warner Bros. Games released a new video called “The Joker, Clown Prince of the Museum.” The video closely recreates a famous scene from the 1989 film Batman, featuring Jack Nicholson as the Joker and his crew causing chaos in a Gotham City museum while Prince’s song “Partyman” plays in the background.
One of the best things about streaming is that movies can stay popular for much longer, giving hidden gems a chance to find an audience. I want to highlight five movies from the last decade that didn’t get the attention they deserved when they came out, but I believe will eventually be recognized as some of the best films of their time.
Similar to Reacher, this new Netflix show is based on a popular book series. If successful, it could become a long-running, major franchise for Netflix, comparable to Reacher and Bosch. While the books have been made into movies before, those films weren’t particularly memorable – much like the Jack Reacher movies.
HBO became a television powerhouse with hits like The Sopranos and Game of Thrones, shows that truly changed the landscape of TV.

A small detail from earlier in the series could actually be the key to understanding it all.

As a movie buff, I’m really excited about this new biopic, especially knowing it will likely spend a lot of time on Kim Novak’s iconic role in Hitchcock’s Vertigo. It’s interesting because Sydney Sweeney’s part feels a lot like what Scarlett Johansson did playing Janet Leigh in Hitchcock – portraying a famous actress connected to one of Hitchcock’s biggest films. It’s a role about a movie star, within a movie about a filmmaker – I love that!
