Robin Hood has been reimagined many times, with a recent dark take appearing on MGM+ in 2025 and a new film starring Hugh Jackman currently being made by A24. These adaptations have been quite different in quality, and some haven’t gotten the recognition they deserve. A prime example is the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner, which received unfair criticism when it first came out.
The scene after the credits of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the promotional materials for the sequel strongly hinted at his return. While some questions remained about how he’d be used in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the trailer’s introduction of the character has now eased those concerns.
Chris Pratt recently talked on the YouTube channel Out of Order about the strong negative reaction he received from Marvel Cinematic Universe fans. Many blamed his character, Peter Quill, for making impulsive decisions in Infinity War that they believed contributed to Thanos’s Snap and, eventually, Iron Man’s death. Pratt went on to explain…
Let’s explore some truly mind-bending films – movies that are famous for being incredibly confusing and thought-provoking.
In the story, Stephen struggles with the realization that others might see him as a villain – something Macy tried to tell him before. It’s easy to forget about Macy, though, considering all the terrible things happening within this group. Stephen actually drove his car into a tree, killing Macy, immediately after she suggested he might be a bad person, so her perspective isn’t really considered. Most people would be deeply troubled by such an accusation, especially under those circumstances, but Stephen doesn’t seem affected. A year and a half later, he’s just now figuring out that it’s generally considered strange – even mentally unstable – to continue living in the place where your friend’s brother died. He doesn’t seem to notice, or care, that the apartment still feels heavy with sadness and death, even as he spends hours playing Halo and collecting disturbing content.
Instead of dismissing the moment, the show’s host responded with understanding and kindness. While talking about Billie Eilish’s success at the Oscars, she unexpectedly experienced a tic linked to Tourette’s syndrome, a condition she’s lived with since she was a child. Here’s how their conversation continued:
I saw an announcement that WEBTOON and Xbox are teaming up to celebrate the launch of the first Sea of Thieves comic on WEBTOON. It’s a cool deal for both gamers and comic fans! If you read all five episodes of Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite on WEBTOON before February 13th, you can get a month of Xbox Game Pass Premium for free.
Spider-Man 4, currently titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is coming to US theaters this summer. The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), will star Tom Holland returning as Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Cooper Raiff plays Aaron Whistler, a comedy writer with a very close relationship with his sister, Leah (Kaitlyn Dever), and delivers a performance similar to his others – lines delivered with little emotion. While the film seems to suggest Aaron is struggling to cope with grief, Raiff doesn’t quite convey the necessary depth. This is especially noticeable when acting alongside the incredibly talented Dever, who appears in flashbacks and dream sequences. These scenes show Leah’s lively personality and are meant to highlight the strong connection between the siblings, but instead, Raiff feels miscast. He doesn’t even bring the expected lightheartedness you’d anticipate from a comedy writer. The film hints at Aaron using humor to mask his pain – something other films have done effectively – but ultimately feels hesitant to actually be funny.
It’s been a decade since Star Trek Beyond hit theaters, which was the last time we saw the crew of that Star Trek Enterprise. With Paramount recently being acquired by Skydance and new leadership in place, Variety asked Chris Pine at Sundance if he had any information about future Star Trek movies. Here’s what he said:
