Apple TV+ is known for taking risks with unique shows, while Amazon Prime Video generally focuses on established franchises that already have a large fanbase, like the popular action series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan starring John Krasinski. Prime Video has experimented with some interesting science fiction, but hasn’t fully supported these shows, and The Peripheral is a good example of this.
I remember loving the original Scary Movie when it came out back in 2000, and it’s awesome to hear it’s getting a reboot this year! But if you’re like me and can’t wait until June for some good parody laughs, don’t worry – there are plenty of other hilarious movies out there to keep you entertained in the meantime.
The critically acclaimed show Mayor of Kingstown, created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, will conclude with its fifth season on Paramount+. While the show received a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes during its fourth season, the final season will be shorter – consisting of eight episodes – due to the show’s significant production costs. Jeremy Renner will reprise his role, along with most of the original cast.
With the rise of AI and increasingly complex computer-generated imagery, audiences are craving more real and believable experiences. This has led to a renewed appreciation for practical effects and stunts, as filmmakers prioritize capturing footage directly on set. These films not only feature stunts that surpass those in Mission Impossible, but also enhance their narratives with truly spectacular moments.
This would be Cooper’s fourth time directing a film, after A Star Is Born, Maestro, and last year’s Is This Thing On? It would also be the first time he’s directed a movie with a large group of main characters, instead of focusing on just one or two. The big question now is: how many people are in this heist crew?
It seems likely that a sequel will happen. War Machine has been incredibly popular on Netflix since its release, becoming one of the platform’s biggest successes this past year. With so many people watching and enjoying it, the positive feedback and high viewership numbers make a second installment of War Machine more probable.
Jeremy Renner plays Michael McLusky in Mayor of Kingstown, a show that premiered on Paramount+ in 2021. The series focuses on his efforts to maintain peace in the volatile town of Kingstown, Michigan, by acting as a go-between for its powerful groups. Despite the recent conclusion of Season 4 in January, Paramount+ has announced that filming for the fifth and final season is now in progress.
As a film fan, it’s been a bit of a rough ride lately. While there have been some amazing successes, the 2020s have definitely seen more than a few big movies flop. And it’s not just bad films failing – even projects with huge potential, like established franchises or attempts to revive old genres, have really struggled. It’s been disappointing for us movie lovers and a real shock for the studios involved, and it’s all happened in just the last six years.
As a huge fan of Boots Riley’s work since Sorry to Bother You, I was really excited for his new film, Boosters. And let me tell you, it doesn’t disappoint! It’s even more wild and imaginative than his last one – think bright, over-the-top visuals and costumes. The story follows a crew of female shoplifters, led by the fantastic Keke Palmer, who are basically modern-day Robin Hoods, stealing from a high-end chain store headed by a delightfully icy Demi Moore. They then sell the goods at affordable prices to people in need. It all builds into a really powerful statement about capitalism and worker solidarity, and honestly, it really hits home with how many of us feel lost and powerless these days, not just in America, but everywhere.
According to Mayci, the dads in DadTok have gotten a bit overconfident and need to be reminded this isn’t some dramatic exposé. She believes she can handle them on her own, and she almost does – Layla and Jessi weren’t very effective, and Taylor couldn’t play because her doctor didn’t want anything flying towards her face. However, DadTok ultimately won the final round. While it’s disappointing to see the women lose, DadTok really needed the victory more than they did.
