I just saw the latest manga sales numbers from outside of Japan, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag! The Jujutsu Kaisen spinoff, Mamahaha no Kokoroe, had a really nice boost – over 8,000 more copies sold for Volume 3, which is awesome! But honestly, everything else on the list pretty much stayed the same. It’s cool to see Mamahaha doing well, but I was hoping for a bit more movement overall.
RuPaul stars as President Judy Gagwell in a new movie where a speeding train is about to crash into a dangerous storm called a “Stormaganza.” Everyone on board is at risk, including a diverse group of passengers – young, old, and even Sarah Michelle Gellar. Hopefully, this role offers Gellar a positive experience after her planned Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot was canceled by Hulu.
The next Superman movie, written and directed by James Gunn, is set to be released in US theaters in 2027. It’s a sequel to the 2025 film Superman, also directed and written by Gunn, and stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
A common joke among Star Trek fans is that only about 30 out of the 78 episodes of the original series are truly great. But that’s part of what makes Star Trek so beloved – everyone has different opinions on what makes an episode or movie good. While fans all have their favorites, only three of the Star Trek films manage to reach the same level of storytelling, excitement, and dramatic impact as the very best episodes of the original series or The Next Generation.
Kirill Sokolov directed They Will Kill You, co-writing the script with Alex Litvak (known for Predators). The villains are somewhat one-dimensional, like those in Ready or Not 2, with characters like Sharon (Heather Graham), the founder of an anti-aging company, and Kevin (Tom Felton), a typical arrogant rich man. They live in the Virgil, a Manhattan high-rise reminiscent of Rosemary’s Baby. The residents have achieved a kind of immortality by offering up new employees as yearly sacrifices. This ability to resurrect themselves makes the initial action sequences exciting, but eventually becomes repetitive. When Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz) begins fighting back against the masked tenants who want to sacrifice her, she discovers they can regenerate lost limbs and body parts. While the film has a Tarantino-inspired, over-the-top style with elaborate sword and axe fights, it also uses the regeneration ability in more gruesome ways – like a detached eyeball chasing Asia through tunnels.
The best part of the movie is Vince Vaughn, who plays two versions of the same character. One Nick is a flashy, fast-talking mobster, while the other is a slightly more thoughtful version who’s traveled from the past to the present. He needs to stop his past self from making a terrible, life-altering mistake. You can actually see this setup in the trailer! It’s a funny moment when Nick’s partner, Quick Draw Mike (James Marsden), gets instructions from Nick to knock out whoever answers Nick’s door – only to find it’s Nick himself. Again, this all happens in the trailer, so it’s not a spoiler!
The famous line, “You had me at hello,” is just one memorable moment from Cameron Crowe’s film Jerry Maguire. The movie was a huge commercial and critical success, earning $273 million and winning an Oscar. It remains one of Tom Cruise’s most popular films from the 1990s.
Actor Duhamel recently appeared on Megyn Kelly’s podcast and discussed politics. While he admitted to having strong political views, he intentionally avoided sharing them. He explained that he doesn’t want to alienate fans by taking a public stance on controversial topics, and believes celebrities should generally avoid political commentary unless they’re actively campaigning for office.
The first season of Jury Duty was a standout comedy on Prime Video, so season two faced the challenge of living up to that success. Luckily, the show benefits from a fantastic cast. The actors are consistently funny, delivering lines with perfect timing and fully committing to the show’s absurd and hilarious premise.
Before Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along became available on streaming platforms, it first debuted as a Broadway production on November 16, 1981.
