What really made The Mummy different from other adventure movies trying to copy Indiana Jones – and helped it become such a huge franchise – was how many memorable lines it had. The film is full of quotes that people still use today, ensuring its place as a classic blockbuster for generations.
I remember a real turning point for Anne Hathaway being when she won her Oscar – it felt like a dream come true. But strangely, the internet seemed determined to focus on negativity. It’s easy to say she’s been in some clunkers, and that fuels the criticism. But honestly, she’s been amazing in so many roles, even within not-so-great films! There were times watching her weaker movies – or even when she hosted the Oscars – where I just wanted to shout, “It’s not her fault!” Thankfully, she’s really come into her own since then, taking on fascinating, challenging roles and even finding success with some big hits. She’s had a few misses, sure, but she still manages to shine in everything she does. Her career is so much more interesting now, and while some people still hold onto their negativity, those of us who always believed in her talent have been proven right. She truly deserves to be considered one of the greats.
Netflix is continuing to deliver strong content, with a solid lineup of new shows planned for 2026. Highlights include the upcoming comedy series Big Mistakes from Dan Levy, the suspenseful thriller Run Away by Harlan Coben, and a new adaptation of Lord of the Flies, which will be available next week. Plus, popular series like Bridgerton and Beef are returning with new seasons, making them worth watching too.
Public reaction to Paramount’s potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has been largely negative. On April 30th, Paramount subscribers initiated a lawsuit in federal court in California, aiming to halt the merger and reverse parts of Paramount’s recent purchase of Skydance.
On Ladies of London: The New Reign, the star was likely commenting on her hair – a beautiful, freshly highlighted style with pin curls. While the look didn’t really resemble that of the former prime minister (who some people loved and others disliked), her co-stars, Myka Meier and Lottie Kane, quickly assured her of that. Both were impressed with her new haircut and color. Martha then showed them how she created her bouncy curls, and Lottie suggested she go even blonder, perhaps a platinum blonde like Marilyn Monroe.
Directed by Nathan Greno, who co-directed Tangled, and based on a story by John Whittington (Sonic the Hedgehog 3) and Christian Magalhaes and Robert Snow (both known for DuckTales), the movie follows Ollie and Ivy. They come from species that are naturally rivals – mammals and birds – but discover magical pods that switch their bodies. Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple lead a talented voice cast that also includes Cedric the Entertainer, Tracy Morgan, and Justina Machado.
Ethan Sacks recently expanded the backstory of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, originally designed to fit into the sequel trilogy, by revealing a previous adventure featuring Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader. Now, Marvel is preparing to share another untold story, this time focusing on Cassian Andor and detailing his last mission before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
This week brought a couple of particularly strange audience reactions. Someone randomly shouted during Gaten Matarazzo’s appearance on The Daily Show after he stated food should be edible, and incredibly, someone cheered for the Axis powers during WWII while Francesco De Carlo performed stand-up on The Tonight Show, which clearly surprised him. The main takeaway? Please think carefully before shouting out – you could end up supporting a very harmful ideology.
The movie, inspired by Lauren Weisberger’s book, features Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs, a young journalist who gets a job assisting Miranda Priestly, the demanding editor-in-chief of the high-fashion magazine Runway. Meryl Streep plays Miranda, while Emily Blunt stars as Emily Charlton, another assistant, and Stanley Tucci plays Nigel Kipling, the magazine’s art director. David Frankel directed the film.
Despite the seemingly definitive ending of the fourth film, the incredibly successful John Wick franchise – having earned Lionsgate over $1 billion – is continuing. A fifth John Wick movie is planned with Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski returning, meaning John Wick will likely be brought back to life, his death will be explained away, or the film will explore his afterlife. In addition, the studio is also developing several spin-off stories set within the John Wick universe, collectively titled From the World of John Wick.
