As a huge Kill Bill fan, I was so excited to finally see The Whole Bloody Affair! It’s Tarantino’s original cut, before it was split into two movies, and it’s packed with extra stuff you don’t get watching both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The anime sequence with O-Ren Ishii’s backstory is way more fleshed out, and the Crazy 88 fight is longer and in full color – it’s amazing! Plus, they removed the black-and-white intro from Vol. 2 because everything is explained naturally since you’re watching the whole story at once. It really feels like the complete vision Tarantino had for the film.

Giancarlo Esposito, known for his role in Breaking Bad, has a connection to Stephen King, having appeared in King’s directorial debut, Maximum Overdrive (1986), and the first episode of the horror series Creepshow, which was based on King’s story “Gray Matter.” Now, Deadline reports he’s developing a film adaptation of “The Dreamers,” a novella from the 2024 collection You Like It Darker – a personal favorite of mine. Esposito says the deal is almost complete, and he’s working with screenwriter Guy Busick, a frequent collaborator, most recently on the 2024 horror film Abigail.

You can currently watch Parks and Recreation on Peacock, and there’s no better way to wrap up 2025 than by enjoying this feel-good sitcom. Originally, the show began as a spin-off of The Office, but the writers quickly decided to let Parks and Rec develop its own unique identity, ultimately creating a strong rival to its predecessor. The connection between the two is most noticeable in the first season, where Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope shares similarities with Steve Carell’s Michael Scott. Thankfully, after a somewhat shaky start (the first season only had six episodes), Parks and Rec really hit its stride and gained a dedicated following. Here’s what the show is about:

During a panel at Tokyo Comic-Con 2025, Sebastian Stan hinted that the future of Thunderbolts 2 relies on how well the first movie is received by audiences. He encouraged fans to show their support if they want to see a sequel, saying, “If you guys like the movie, help us make another one.” (The Direct)

In season 2, episode 4 of Landman, titled “Dancing Rainbows,” Gallino (Andy Garcia) expertly lured Cami Miller (Demi Moore) into a carefully constructed trap. Gallino, a Cuban-American cartel leader, maintains a facade as Danny Morrell, the CEO of Sonrisa, an investment firm based in Odessa, Texas, allowing him to move freely among Fort Worth’s upper class.

The first movie earned about $475 million in the US and $759 million globally, making it a huge hit and one of the highest-grossing musicals ever. The second film, released in 2025, has made around $297 million domestically and $440 million worldwide as of early December. While the new movie is doing well, it’s not performing quite as strongly as the first one did at this point in its release.

Viewers believe Homelander may have increased his abilities by using more Compound V. This significantly raises the danger for Butcher, Marie, and everyone fighting against him.

After more than 16 years, a new Friday the 13th movie is finally in the works, confirmed by the recently created Jason Universe initiative. While legal issues prevent the film from using the official title, it will be the first new Jason Voorhees movie in over a decade.

Professional boxer David is on charter thanks to an invitation from his friend, Cameron. Aside from a bit of seasickness after a morning sailing lesson – understandable, considering it followed French toast! – the charter is going well. Cameron, a former football player, brought along some football buddies, along with David, a rapper, and a sommelier. Everyone is friendly and looking forward to relaxing and watching the America’s Cup, the most important sailing race, from the yacht. It’s lucky their trip coincides with the event; Sandy even compared it to the soccer World Cup. Aesha knows the importance of the America’s Cup, as New Zealand is a major sailing nation – they actually won the title in 2024, the year this season was filmed.

Starring Karen Allen, Alfre Woodard, John Glover, John Forsythe, and Carol Kane, the film Scrooged initially received mixed reactions from critics. Over time, however, it’s become a beloved holiday tradition with a loyal following. Its lasting appeal lies in its clever, sometimes biting, 1980s humor combined with a classic retelling of the familiar story.
