As is typical with films from NEON, very little information about this movie has been made public, though the studio has offered a brief description of Alpha.
With so many streaming options available, especially on Netflix, there’s plenty to watch. As Netflix prepares for the holidays with feel-good Christmas movies like Champagne Problems and A Merry Little Ex-Mas, now is a great time to enjoy something lighter. If you’ve already finished the first part of the new Stranger Things season, try Emily in Paris – it’s pure, unadulterated fun and doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
The Hollywood Reporter announced that Ian Tuason will direct the next Paranormal Activity movie, a project from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse. Tuason is a Canadian director known for his successful horror shorts in live-action virtual reality – they’ve gained millions of views on YouTube and were even featured at SXSW. He recently won the audience award at the Fantasia International Film Festival for his film The Undertone, which sparked a bidding war ultimately won by A24.
Many of Batman’s enemies have attempted to change their ways, whether by seeking forgiveness or simply trying a different path. Unfortunately, these attempts often led to further punishment or even a worse fate. Beyond that, some villains, like the Joker and Mr. Freeze, were negatively impacted by questionable choices made by the comic book writers. While they aren’t heroes, here are 7 Batman villains and the worst treatment they received from DC Comics.
New episodes of the animated series The Amazing Digital Circus are now available on Netflix! Episodes 5 through 7 started streaming on December 12th. The show, created by Gooseworx and produced by Glitch Productions, follows a group of people stuck in a bizarre, circus-themed virtual reality game run by an unpredictable AI named Caine. While episodes 5 and 6 were previously available on Glitch Productions’ YouTube channel, they—along with episode 7—became available on Netflix with this latest release.
I’ve noticed that if this series delved into every single detail of each character’s past, the story would likely go on forever. It’s not that these backstories are incomplete, but they actually create opportunities to explore those characters even more. We’ve already seen this happen with popular characters like Portgas D. Ace and Trafalgar Law, who both got their own spin-off novels. While the original author doesn’t write these novels himself, he oversees them and they’re officially published, which is a big reason why fans enjoy them so much. And honestly, I think a few other characters – including the five we’ve been discussing – deserve the same treatment.
The most compelling way to portray Superman’s heroism is to challenge him with an impossible situation and then showcase his unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. Superman truly shines when he embodies the ideal of a hero, and DC is now exploring the difficulties he faces in upholding that standard. A recent issue of Action Comics (#1093) depicted Clark Kent’s early days as Superboy, including a story that tested his resolve to always do what he believed was right, regardless of the consequences.
James Gunn didn’t direct this film, but he seems to have chosen well by entrusting director Craig Gillespie (known for I, Tonya and Cruella) with the project. Despite their different styles, Gillespie appears to have learned from Gunn, as the upcoming Supergirl movie feels like it could easily fit alongside characters like Rocket Raccoon and Groot in the same cinematic universe.
The first two seasons of Percy Jackson and the Olympians have brought a large cast of characters to life, including Greek Gods, demigods, and mortals. While staying true to Rick Riordan’s books with many key scenes, Season 2 also expands the world by introducing new characters and deepening the mythology. The show draws heavily from Greek myths, offering fresh takes on the ancient Gods, their relationships, and the demigod children they have.
