Okay, so as a huge fan, I’ve been watching this season and honestly, it’s been tough to see. It feels like all the characters are dealing with so much personal stuff that it’s really impacting their work. We’re seeing a lot more mistakes, and it’s clear they’re letting their own problems get in the way of giving patients the care they deserve. It’s a bit frustrating to watch, honestly, because they usually nail it!

Despite being a huge superhero universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe often seems hesitant to showcase truly amazing powers. Characters like the Hulk have become less powerful over time, and the new Captain America relies on technology rather than inherent abilities. Currently, many Avengers are essentially just skilled fighters with weapons. The movies could use a boost of extraordinary powers, and the planned Mistborn films from Apple could deliver just that.

Created by Sarah-Violet Bliss, Charles Rogers, and Michael Showalter, Search Party first aired on TBS in 2016. Starting with its third season, the show moved to HBO Max and concluded after five seasons in 2022. The series stars Alia Shawkat, John Reynolds, John Early, and Meredith Hagner, and features guest appearances from Brandon Micheal Hall, Ron Livingston, Christine Taylor, and Cole Escola.

The fourth episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy explores the heartbreaking history of Jay-Den Kraag, explaining the difficult situation facing the Klingon Empire in the late 32nd century. As Jay-Den grapples with his identity – being both a Klingon warrior and a Starfleet student – he develops a daring plan to rescue the remaining Klingon refugees and find them a new planet to call home.

Idris Elba has had an incredibly diverse movie career. He’s voiced characters in big animated hits, been in several films that made over a billion dollars worldwide, and acted in a wide range of genres – from Westerns and superhero movies to biographical dramas. Because of this variety, it’s hard to pick out his single best performance.

Harry’s first day with the 118 brought about a lot of changes, and quietly revealed a significant, but often overlooked, problem within the world of 9-1-1. The show is entering a new phase, especially after the events of season 8, where Bobby’s death dramatically altered life at the Los Angeles firehouse.

As a huge cinema fan, I’m incredibly excited about Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles project! It’s going to be four separate films, each one dedicated to telling the story of a different member of the band. The cast is fantastic – Barry Keoghan is playing Ringo Starr, Harris Dickinson will be John Lennon, Joseph Quinn is George Harrison, and Paul Mescal is taking on the role of Paul McCartney. We just got our first glimpse of the actors as their iconic counterparts, and it’s already generating a lot of buzz – thankfully, we won’t have to wait too long, as all the films are scheduled to come out on April 7, 2028.

It’s common for critics to be tough on genre films, and harsh reviews can sometimes hurt a movie’s performance at the box office. But even though some sci-fi movies have poor ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, many of them are actually much better than critics suggest.

Despite being called uninspired, a cheap imitation of The Da Vinci Code, and a weak sequel to the Indiana Jones movies, Fountain of Youth managed to stay in the Top 10 for a surprisingly long time. This is even more remarkable considering fans didn’t like it much either. The film has a ‘Rotten’ score of only 35% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a very low 38% audience score, with one viewer commenting:

Sam Raimi, a director known for his playful style, creative mixing of genres, and dynamic camera work, started his career with the cult classic The Evil Dead and refined his approach with Evil Dead II. Despite being well-regarded, he remained a somewhat obscure genre filmmaker until he directed the blockbuster Spider-Man trilogy. While hugely successful, those films proved difficult to move beyond. After a couple of smaller projects, Raimi didn’t direct a feature for almost ten years, until another superhero opportunity arose in 2022. His latest film, Send Help, is a return to the low-budget, inventive filmmaking that defined his early work, and it’s a great chance to look back at his entire filmography of sixteen movies.
