DC Comics launched Absolute Wonder Woman in October 2024. Written by Kelly Thompson with art by Hayden Sherman, the series presents a unique take on Wonder Woman’s origin story. Instead of being raised on the island of Themyscira as a warrior, this version of Diana Prince was raised in Hell by the witch Circe, giving her a more magical and mystical background.
Okay, so the ending of A House of Dynamite is… something else. Basically, the movie keeps revisiting this same 20-minute crisis from different angles within the government, and just when you’re waiting to see what the President – Idris Elba, by the way – is going to do about this rogue nuclear missile headed for Chicago, it cuts away! We don’t see the missile hit, we don’t see the US respond, and honestly, we have no idea if this thing escalates into a full-blown nuclear war or if things somehow calm down. Instead, the movie ends with a bunch of ‘designated survivors’ – people who are supposed to rebuild society – heading into a bunker in Pennsylvania, just waiting to see what happens. It’s a really unsettling and open-ended finish, let me tell you.
The movie, which came out on April 16, 2010, started as a comic book series. It was first published by Marvel’s Icon Comics and later moved to Image Comics. Many fans consider it one of the most grounded and realistic superhero films ever made. The story follows a clumsy teenager who tries to become a real superhero, even though he doesn’t have any special abilities. While the idea seems straightforward, director Matthew Vaughn – who later directed X-Men films – transformed it into a thrilling and action-packed movie that quickly gained a dedicated following.
Jenna Ortega has previously captured the look of classic Hollywood glamour, and she did it again at the 2025 InStyle Imagemaker Awards. This time, she showcased a beautiful vintage-inspired style with a modern twist. She wore a sheer dress and a faux fur stole, creating a look that perfectly embodies the elegance of old Hollywood.
Netflix released a new Korean film called Good News on October 17th, featuring Sul Kyung-gu, Hong Kyung, and Ryoo Seung-bum. The movie blends black comedy, political themes, and thriller elements. It appears this unique combination is resonating with viewers, as Good News has quickly climbed into the top 10 on Netflix’s list of non-English films.
While many films have brilliantly brought historical events to life, some haven’t quite hit the mark. These films often try to offer a fresh and nuanced portrayal of their main characters, and creative liberties are essential – though not always successful. Thankfully, the films listed below are all exceptional examples of their genre, delivering a consistently strong experience from beginning to end.
The film also reveals a different side of Springsteen – a powerfully intense performer who throws himself completely into his shows, even at smaller venues like the famous Stone Pony in Asbury Park. The director emphasizes both this energetic side and Springsteen’s more solitary, introspective nature, creating a fascinating tension throughout the documentary. This push and pull between these two sides of his personality hints at deeper truths about the creative process and his struggles with depression. While Springsteen doesn’t explicitly address these issues – perhaps lacking the words to do so despite his incredible songwriting ability – the film suggests he’s someone who needs support.
I just got word from Deadline that Magnolia Pictures is going all-in on Ben Wheatley’s new film, Normal. They’re planning a huge release – over 2,000 theaters – on April 17, 2026, which is massive for them. And the premise sounds wild! Bob Odenkirk stars as a sheriff in a seemingly peaceful town called, appropriately enough, Normal. But things quickly go south when a robbery unravels a seriously dark secret, turning the town into a full-blown warzone. Apparently, Odenkirk’s sheriff ends up fighting for his life against everyone – his deputies, and even the Yakuza! The script is by Derek Kolstad, the guy behind John Wick, so you know it’s going to be action-packed. This one definitely has my attention.
After photos emerged from the Venice Film Festival premiere of Yorgos Lanthimos’s Bugonia in late August, a comment on X perfectly captured the reaction of many: “I can’t believe Stavros Halkias went from making edgy online content to being in a movie with Emma Stone.” This sentiment was widespread, and for good reason. When Stone began collaborating with Lanthimos on The Favourite in 2018, Halkias was known as the co-host of Cum Town, a podcast popular for its ironic and often provocative humor. Since leaving Cum Town in 2022, Halkias’s following has grown significantly. He’s become skilled at creating viral clips from his live performances, attracting over 800,000 YouTube subscribers who enjoy his stand-up and fitness series, Stavvy Gets Ripped. His advice podcast, Stavvy’s World, has an additional 300,000 subscribers. Throughout his career, Halkias has built a reputation for being remarkably honest about his imperfections and for his uniquely open-minded and playful approach to humor.
Currently, Paramount doesn’t seem interested in moving forward with the rumored “Star Trek: Legacy” spin-off. Despite this, fans and cast members are still hoping it happens. TrekMovie.com recently spoke with Todd Stashwick, a prominent actor from Season 3, to gauge his interest in returning, potentially through a holographic appearance. He explained what conditions would need to be met before he’d commit to a continuation of the Picard series.
