This week sees the release of The Drama, a darkly funny and awkward romantic comedy that feels a bit cold and detached (is this becoming a trademark of A24 films?). Director and writer Kristoffer Borgli, along with producer Ari Aster, have clearly done their job with the marketing – my mother, who is in her sixties, even asked me about it before it came out! She’d already heard about the film’s central plot point, which is revealed fairly early on. The promotion has built up a lot of anticipation, leaving audiences to speculate and debate what will happen. However, the premise, which sounds shocking when described, isn’t quite as impactful when you’re actually watching the movie.

You can find popular crime thrillers like The Place Beyond The Pines with Ryan Gosling and L.A. Confidential starring Russell Crowe on this streaming service. Recently, Mercy, featuring Chris Pratt, became a big hit after not doing well in theaters, quickly climbing to the top of the charts.

In an interview with The New York Times, John Lithgow shared that he knew the topic of J.K. Rowling would likely follow him for the rest of his career, a consequence he accepted. He now confirms he still hasn’t met Rowling, but believes some of her public statements have been taken out of context or inaccurately portrayed.

Before becoming famous, Rachel McAdams showed her talent in the Canadian sitcom Slings & Arrows, giving a preview of the star she would become. Even though she’s a well-loved and successful actress, many people still don’t fully appreciate her work, particularly in recent years.

Brian Cox often complains about not getting enough recognition, which feels disingenuous considering how much he enjoys voicing strong opinions. Recently, he’s criticized several actors: he called Johnny Depp “overblown” and said he was glad to have passed on the governor role in the Pirates of the Caribbean films to Jonathan Pryce, and he dismissed Ian McKellen’s acting style as not to his liking. He also bluntly labeled Kevin Spacey “stupid,” a surprising comment given his previous defense of the actor. It’s unclear what changed his opinion. He even suggested Margot Robbie might be too beautiful to play Cathy in a film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, though he quickly walked that back. Interestingly, he defended Jeremy Strong, revealing that Strong actually asked him to stop talking about him – a request Cox found surprisingly sad. He ultimately admitted that Strong is a “wonderful actor.”

What makes the kills in this series so good is their originality – each one is unique. Death finds a huge variety of ways to trap its victims, and the movies sometimes surprise viewers with unexpected deaths. With six Final Destination films released, fans have many favorites, but ten really represent the best of the bunch.

The Pokémon Video Game Championships are becoming Pokémon Champions with the release of the new game on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on April 8, 2026. From now on, Pokémon Champions will be the official platform for all competitive Pokémon battles, including major events like the Turin Special Event, the North America International Championships in June, and the Pokémon World Championships in August.

The new Disney+ animated series, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, finally gives Darth Maul the attention he deserves within the Star Wars story. While we know how his story begins and ends, much of his life remains a mystery. This series not only expands on Maul’s history but also establishes him as a crucial figure who paved the way for the events and character of The Mandalorian and Din Djarin.
