Dakota Fanning Shares Birthday Gift Tom Cruise Sends Her Every Year

The actress from A Perfect Couple isn’t the only one who receives a special Christmas gift from the Top Gun star. She recently shared that Tom Cruise has sent her shoes for her birthday every year since they worked together on the 2005 film War of the Worlds, and she confirmed whether he still continues this tradition.

5 Worst Things Players Have to Do in Games

If you’ve played any Super Mario Bros. game since Super Mario World came out in 1990, you’ve probably used Yoshi as a stepping stone – and likely let him fall to his doom many times. It feels a bit cruel when you think about it, since it’s sometimes necessary to progress in the game. Yoshi was a new addition, designed to help Mario reach higher areas than he could on his own. But to do so, you had to send Yoshi tumbling into bottomless pits. And let’s not forget that Mario actually punches Yoshi in the head to make his tongue appear! It’s clear Mario isn’t always the best friend to his dinosaur companion.

Shonen Jump Cancels Its Weirdest Series in Just a Year

I’ve noticed that while certain manga series still have a following in Japan, they don’t seem to gain as much traction as they used to. Recently, a new action-adventure manga called Bouken ni Iku Fuku ga Nai (which means I Have No Clothes to Go on an Adventure) started appearing on Shonen Jump+. Unfortunately, because it wasn’t widely available outside of Japan, and as reported by the popular Shonen Jump news account @WSJ_manga on X, it ended after only 50 chapters. Shueisha rarely makes official cancellation announcements, but fans can usually tell when a series is being cut short after about a year – it usually wraps up very quickly.

5 Forgotten Xbox Games That Have Aged Incredibly Well

You know, it’s cool when an older game isn’t just remembered because of nostalgia. It’s when you go back and it still feels good to play, even compared to the big new releases. Some games just hold up really well, while others get stale. I’ve been thinking about some Xbox games that people kinda forgot about, but are still surprisingly fun today. Here are five of them that I think deserve another look.

New Silent Hill f Update Is Not What Fans Expected

As a huge fan, I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but it’s looking unlikely the game will come to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or even the original PS5. Right now, you can only play it on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. It’s built using Unreal Engine 5, and honestly, not many games with that engine have made it to those older consoles, so I’m not super optimistic, but I’m still hoping!

After 9 Years, Netflix Just Completely Changed Stranger Things Season 1’s Ending

The first season of Stranger Things centers on the disappearance of Will Byers. While we knew he was stuck in the Upside Down, we didn’t see much of what he experienced there. Now, Netflix has released the opening scene from season 5, giving us a glimpse into those events. This five-minute scene expands on Will’s story from season 1, explaining what happened during his time away and even changing how we understand the first season’s ending, which raises the stakes for the characters going forward.

The “Flawless” Sci-Fi Action Thriller “Masterpiece” That’s Dominating Streaming Ahead of Anticipated Sequel

Hitting theaters on September 6, 2013, Riddick is currently the third most popular movie on the free streaming platform, Tubi. It featured Diesel reprising his role of the titular anti-hero made famous in Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. This time around he was joined by the likes of Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Karl Urban, Jordi Mollà, and Matt Nable. Produced for $38 million (the bulk of which was funded by Diesel himself), the sequel managed to take in $98 million at the box office, making it a modest hit. Unlike its more ambitious predecessor, Riddick returned the franchise to its roots with a stripped-down survival story that once again reminded fans why Diesel’s morally gray hero became such an icon. The official synopsis reads:
