Movies

I’ve always been a fan of DaCosta’s work, and it’s been interesting to see how audiences react so differently to her films. While people seemed to really enjoy her bigger projects, I was surprised to see her earlier, more intimate films, like Hedda and Little Woods, struggling with audience scores. Honestly, her studio movies haven’t felt as personal or impactful as I’d hoped. The Bone Temple is getting good reviews, much like a film from last year, and that feels strange to me. It just felt…empty. It’s a very ‘safe’ movie, and doesn’t really push you to think or feel anything beyond what the script is telling you. It lacks that spark of inspired filmmaking, which is disappointing.

Neil Patrick Harris is the host of What’s in the Box, a fun game show with word puzzles, guessing games, trivia, and amazing prizes. I haven’t watched a lot of game shows on Netflix, but I’m already hooked on this one – it has the potential to be a big success!

While this strategy isn’t a guaranteed path to success, it has helped Prime Video stand out in a competitive streaming landscape. They’ve been able to create high-quality fantasy shows with a big-screen feel, all without relying on a major film studio. Unlike some other platforms, Prime Video is willing to invest in projects and give them time to develop an audience.

Harper excels at scheming and clearly enjoys it, but Gizelle Bryant on Potomac demonstrates how poorly executed plotting just creates drama and unhappiness for everyone. It’s amazing how she can turn a legitimate complaint – like inadequate lodging from the host – into something that makes her seem more at fault. Her biggest issue is a lack of sensitivity and consideration, which causes her to blow things way out of proportion. While it’s understandable to be upset with Angel about the poor accommodations and hosting, spending over thirty minutes berating her on a private jet, without letting her speak, isn’t helpful, entertaining, or worthwhile – at least, not in my opinion.

I recently had the chance to speak with Heater Gay related to her new partnership with Atkins, where eventually the conversation turned to RHUGT (which is streaming with a Peacock subscription). As you can see in the video above, I asked if she thinks her experience would be different on the spinoff now that she’s had a few more years on Salt Lake City. As she told me:

Rumors about a Midnight Sons movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been circulating for years. According to reports, Marvel is planning something big with this team as they explore more supernatural stories after Avengers: Secret Wars.

It doesn’t offer a vast library of movies – not even close to hundreds of thousands, or even thousands, really.

I just read an interesting interview with Mark Ruffalo in Empire Magazine. He confirmed he won’t be in the upcoming Doomsday film, but he’s still feeling good about his future with Marvel. He actually said that as long as they have great ideas for the Hulk, he’s in! He even joked that The Avengers helped him land a role in Crime 101! It got me thinking though – with him not in Doomsday, could this mean the Hulk is in real trouble in Spider-Man: Brand New Day this summer? It definitely makes you wonder what’s going on!

Robert Pattinson first gained international fame through the Twilight franchise. Based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight tells the story of a complicated love between vampire Edward Cullen, played by Pattinson, and human teenager Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart. The Twilight Saga quickly became a major part of pop culture, starting with the very first film.

Andrew Lincoln, best known for playing Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead and its spin-off The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (2024), is starring in and executive producing a new six-part series called Coldwater. The show launched in September 2025 and quickly became popular, entering the top 10 most-streamed shows on Paramount+ in the U.S. this week.
