I was completely captivated by Dust Bunny. It tells the story of a little girl, Aurora, who genuinely believes a monster under her bed is responsible for her family’s death. It’s heartbreaking, but also surprisingly funny, because she decides the only solution is to hire a hitman – her strange new neighbor! What starts feeling like a twisted fairy tale quickly becomes something much darker and more intense. It’s a really unique blend of a child’s imagination, shocking violence, and the gritty world of professional assassins. It’s definitely not a movie for everyone, but I found it incredibly compelling.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller recently spoke with TechRadar about when fans can expect the first trailer for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. They remained tight-lipped, only saying to “stay tuned.” Lord added a playful hint, promising something will be revealed “soon…ish.”

Iron Man #3, written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Carmen Carnero, starts with Tony Stark caught in the crossfire of a battle. He was trying to get information from MODOK about trouble brewing inside the organization AIM (Advanced Idea Mechanics) and the recent vanishing of some of their scientists, but ended up in the middle of an attempt to kill MODOK by a group within AIM.

Netflix has greenlit a new series from the creators of Stranger Things called Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. The title alone is enough to grab your attention! Fortunately, viewers won’t have to wait long, as the show will be available on Netflix later this week. While it promises the same engaging characters and quick storytelling as Stranger Things, there will be one key distinction between the two series.

This film is a heartfelt homage to Marcel Pagnol. While it might not stand up as a traditional movie – often feeling like a beautifully illustrated biography – fans of both Jacques Tati-like animation and Pagnol’s work will likely enjoy it as a charming and nostalgic experience. It selectively highlights certain details and simplifies others to create a sweet, though somewhat superficial, tribute to a man who excelled in film, writing, and theater.

Ultimate Endgame #3, written by Deniz Camp and illustrated by Terry Dodson and Jonas Scharf, intensified the conflict in this large-scale story. The series follows the heroes from Marvel’s Ultimate Universe as they battle the forces of the Maker. At the same time, a team consisting of Spider-Man, America Chavez, Doctor Doom, and Tony Stark infiltrated the Maker’s headquarters to challenge the villain who has reshaped their world.

Finding the right actress to play Teri Rogers-Collins in Paradise was a challenge. As the wife of Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown), a Secret Service agent turned survivor, Teri doesn’t have much screen time in the first season, and it’s initially unclear if she even made it through the disaster that devastated the world. However, the hope that she survived is a major driving force for Xavier, and discovering that she did survive fuels his dangerous quest in the second season. Teri needed to be a powerful symbol of hope for Xavier – someone he would risk everything to be reunited with. It was a demanding role to fill.

First Reaction – Lady in the Urn has some good scares but never as scary as it could have been.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge has become the fastest movie ever to reach a major box office milestone, achieving the record in just five days. This sequel to the 2025 film Dhurandhar is an Indian action movie following a secret agent who goes undercover to take down criminal organizations in Karachi. The film’s story includes inspiration from actual events, like the 26/11 attacks and Operation Lyari.

Marvel revealed on Monday that Yahya Abdul-Matteen II and Ben Kingsley will reprise their roles. This decision comes as a bit of a surprise, but makes sense considering the show’s positive reception since it launched in January. It also suggests Marvel Television is moving towards longer, ongoing stories rather than shorter, self-contained series.
