Nicolas Cage will be playing Ben Reilly, a different version of Spider-Man, in a new Prime Video series called Spider-Noir. This show is connected to the Spider-Verse films from Sony.

The recent film adaptation of Wuthering Heights portrays almost everyone as flawed, manipulative, or uncaring. While Emily Brontë’s original novel already created a dark and emotionally intense world, this new version cuts out significant parts of the story to focus on that atmosphere and the tragic events. (Many fans were disappointed that the ghost of Cathy was left out.) These cuts mean that the characters are either less developed than in the book or are portrayed very differently. The film essentially presents a lineup of unlikeable characters, raising the question: who is the most villainous of them all?

It’s no surprise a well-known actor like Morgan Freeman has been chosen to play the President in movies – he’s done it three times! Though these films aren’t necessarily his most famous, they do show his skill at portraying leaders with a calm and respectful strength.

The recent Multiverse Saga in Marvel movies has brought back some beloved actors to reprise their iconic roles from before the Marvel Cinematic Universe began in 2008.

Lots of sitcoms have famous lines, and Parks and Recreation is no exception – you still see “Treat Yo Self” used in ads! But what Parks and Rec did that no other show has matched is create a completely new holiday – Galentine’s Day – that people actually celebrate in real life, and still do today.
