Films like Little Miss Sunshine, Silver Linings Playbook, Patch Adams, and It’s Kind of a Funny Story often use humor to explore serious topics like mental health. This is especially true for movies about stand-up comedians, such as The King of Comedy, Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling, and Funny People, which frequently delve into deeper issues. As Will Arnett pointed out, there’s a reason these films resonate with audiences – they’re relatable.

DreamWorks Animation began by creating movies with both traditional and computer-generated imagery, but they soon focused mainly on CGI.

James Cameron, the director behind Terminator, has captivated viewers with the world of Pandora in the Avatar films. The series succeeds by contrasting the natural, vibrant culture of the Na’vi people with the harsh technology and imposing structures brought by humans.

The latest film, The Way of Water, pushes these boundaries even further, notably with the tragic death of Neteyam.

Before the The End of an Era documentary came out on Disney+ in 2025, Taylor Swift revealed she’d been preparing for the Eras Tour by running on a treadmill and singing every song on the setlist. Episode 3 of the series showed her doing just that, and she explained why this intense training was so crucial, even though she didn’t particularly enjoy it. She stated:

For a short time, Avengers: Endgame was the highest-grossing movie ever made, and it wrapped up a truly amazing story arc in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s why it’s exciting that the Russo brothers – who directed Endgame – are back to direct Doomsday, essentially creating a continuation of that epic film.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron shared why he appreciates the scene, noting that the unpredictability and the captivating performances of the two characters—especially the actress, who he described as ‘mesmerizing’—make it stand out.
