You can now buy Black Lagoon digitally on platforms like iTunes. Twenty years after its initial release, the popular anime is seeing a resurgence in viewers. Currently, it’s the 13th most-watched series on iTunes. The anime is adapted from the manga series of the same name, created by Rei Hiroe, and was originally produced by Madhouse in 2006.

This new version of the classic Dracula story centers on a prince from the 1400s who is devastated when his wife dies. Consumed by grief and anger at God, he transforms into the infamous Dracula, driven by the hope of finding his wife again in a future life.

This change in direction moves away from the often-debated films of the DC Extended Universe, now commonly called the “Snyderverse” because of Zack Snyder’s significant early influence. The Snyderverse started with Man of Steel and concluded with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, even though that final film felt quite different in style and story from the original vision for the DCEU back in 2013.

S.T. Abby’s Mindfck series doesn’t feature supernatural creatures like True Blood, but it delivers just as many thrills, dramatic moments, and intense romantic storylines.

You can now watch The Crying Game for free on Pluto TV! This British/Irish crime thriller became available on the streaming platform on February 1st. Keep in mind that, like other movies on Pluto TV, it probably won’t be available for long—likely just until the end of the month—so be sure to watch it while you can.

Directed by Corin Hardy (known for The Nun), the movie follows Chrys Willet, played by Dafne Keen (Deadpool & Wolverine), a shy teen who starts at a new school and quickly befriends a group of outcasts. When they find an old Aztec whistle said to summon spirits, they soon realize it actually brings forth visions of their own deaths, which begin to hunt them. The friends must then figure out how to stop the terrifying premonitions from becoming reality.

The quick popularity of this new series suggests fantasy might be shifting back to stories focused on characters and relationships, rather than just big effects. While studios have tried to replicate the success of Game of Thrones with increasingly grand productions, a more subtle approach could be the key to future success. Fantasy content is booming, but there’s a need for more meaningful and well-crafted stories. This new show’s careful and thoughtful style could mark the beginning of a new trend.

Hollywood these days is a bit of a mixed bag – some movies are great, and some aren’t as successful. With big studios focusing more and more on established franchises, smaller, independent films are really starting to shine, and some directors are taking bigger risks with unusual ideas. Companies like A24 have become known for letting filmmakers be creative, and audiences have been happily surprised by films like Sinners. While 2025 brought a lot of popular hits, 2026 has gotten off to a strange and uncertain start.

Honestly, I don’t believe she’s performed exceptionally well on any challenge this season, even the one she just won. She’s been solid, but never truly outstanding.
