The statement was signed by filmmaker Jafar Panahi, Mohammad Rasoulof (director of The Seed of the Sacred Fig), and Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi. They strongly condemned the Iranian government’s violent response to recent protests. The statement calls the widespread killing of protesters – those who bravely demanded an end to the current government – a systematic crime against humanity. It specifically cites the use of live ammunition, the deaths of tens of thousands, the mass arrests and persecution of protesters, attacks on the injured, and the denial of medical care as a betrayal of Iran and a threat to its security.

The new British sci-fi film, 2073, paints a bleak picture of the future, drawing inspiration from the 1962 short film La Jetée. It tackles serious issues like climate change, the rise of powerful corporations, and the decline of democracy. Director Asif Kapadia won an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2016 for his film Amy.

Apple TV recently announced it will be bringing Brandon Sanderson’s popular “Cosmere Universe” to the screen, with plans already underway. Sanderson’s fantasy novels have been incredibly successful for years, and a live-action adaptation is finally happening. With the development of The Stormlight Archive, many believe this marks a shift in the landscape of epic fantasy television, potentially signaling the end of Game of Thrones‘ reign.

I’m seriously blown away! Disney’s Send Help just keeps smashing records, holding the top spot at the global box office for ten weeks straight – it’s following in the footsteps of huge hits like Avatar Fire and Ash and Zootopia 2! Everyone was clearly waiting for Sam Raimi’s new movie. It opened at number one in so many places – Mexico, Kuwait, Thailand, and Indonesia, just to name a few! And it grabbed the number two spot in a ton more countries like Bahrain, Iceland, and all the way to Korea and Vietnam. It’s incredible to see this kind of international success!

The story doesn’t end with the current season of the TV show, and it was unclear if showrunner Craig Mazin could fit the rest of the game’s plot into a third season. In a May 2025 interview with Collider, Mazin indicated he’d need more than one season to tell the complete story. He stated that finishing the narrative would likely require a fourth season, assuming the show is renewed.

The horror genre, specifically werewolf movies, really gained momentum in the 1980s. 1981 was a particularly strong year, with several now-classic werewolf films being released. But when it comes to the very best of that year, only one movie stands out as the ultimate choice.

If you enjoy action thrillers, especially those starring Jackie Chan, you’ll be happy to hear his 2017 film, The Foreigner, is now available for streaming. This movie is a collaboration between the U.K., China, and the United States, and boasts a strong supporting cast alongside Chan.

Often called Dellamorte Dellamore, the film Cemetery Man has a straightforward story but delivers it brilliantly—and literally. The movie follows Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett), a quiet cemetery caretaker whose job gets complicated when foaming-at-the-mouth ghouls start climbing out of their graves. It’s a truly excellent and scary film that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves, and it’s currently available to stream on AMC+ or watch for free on YouTube.

Currently, the streaming platform only has two films from the popular action series, which means fans who want to watch all of them will need to find them elsewhere. And those two aren’t even back-to-back: the first film, Die Hard, came out in 1988, while the fourth, Live Free or Die Hard, was released in 2007.

Horror films existed even before Universal’s Dracula, which was one of the first big horror movies made after the age of silent films. The style of German Expressionism heavily influenced these early films, and filmmakers such as Val Lewton later tried to elevate the genre with more artistic horror. Ultimately, classic horror movies provide much more than just scares and monsters.
