James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash is now in theaters as part of the 2025 film lineup. This third Avatar movie continues the story from The Way of Water (2022) and expands the world of Pandora and its Na’vi people. The characters develop and change as they face new challenges, and the film explores some previously untold parts of the main character, Jake Sully’s, history.
If you’re a fan of Prison Break, you still have until January 30, 2026, to binge-watch all five seasons on Netflix. The show, often considered the best prison drama ever made, first aired on Fox in 2005 and ran until 2009 with four seasons. It was later brought back for a fifth season in 2017.
Now that Game of Thrones has finished, fans are still waiting for George R.R. Martin to release the next book, The Winds of Winter. It’s been 14 years since the last installment, A Dance with Dragons, and many are eager to see how the story continues. Here’s a detailed look at the long-awaited sixth book in the Game of Thrones series.
Growing up, like my friend Sammy, I loved movies and watched everything I could. This passion partly came from feeling different during holidays – I’d see other families celebrating in ways I didn’t quite understand. Instead of joining in, I’d spend Christmas at the movie theater, finding joy and celebration in films.
The series, set in a future America, explores how a groundbreaking discovery impacts everything from government and influential groups to the lives of ordinary people. The first season of Pluribus ended with a dramatic cliffhanger – a threat at the atomic level – which has left viewers wondering what will happen next.
Following the events of Daredevil, The Punisher centered on Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), a former Marine seeking revenge on those responsible for his family’s death. The Netflix series, which ran for two seasons, moved away from typical superhero action and instead focused on a gritty and realistic portrayal of trauma, difficult moral choices, and the devastating consequences of constant violence.
Christmas offers a huge variety of movies, from heartwarming dramas like It’s A Wonderful Life to comedies such as A Christmas Story, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and Elf. There’s even something for horror fans (Gremlins) or those who prefer more adult humor (Bad Santa), not to mention the many Christmas films made for channels like Hallmark.
This movie might have been an Oscar contender in years past, but Song Sung Blue arrived a little too late to be a serious competitor. It’s a heartwarming, if somewhat cheesy, film, and the Academy Awards haven’t been favoring that style lately. Without the pressure of awards season, though, it’s simply a lot of fun to watch. The music and the charming connection between the lead actors quickly draw you in, and it’s best to just enjoy the emotional journey the movie takes you on rather than overanalyze it.
The episode doesn’t end there. After Carol discovers the hive’s scheme, the scene shifts to Manousos, who’s back in Carol’s neighborhood studying English and taking notes about the hive. He looks up to see a helicopter, flown by Zosia, with Carol as a passenger. They’re carrying a large shipping container. Zosia drops Carol and the container off, then tells Manousos, “You win. We save the world.” The container? It holds an atom bomb.
The episode’s most powerful moment is likely the opening flashback, which finally shows the destruction of Shady Sands – an event previously only talked about in the Fallout games. Shady Sands was once the capital of the New California Republic and a key location in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas, where players could choose to support it. We learned in season one that Hank destroyed Shady Sands, claiming it was to protect Vault-Tec’s plan for repopulating Earth. However, his motivations were also personal: his wife, Rose, had left him and moved to Shady Sands, refusing to return. The flashback portrays Shady Sands as a thriving, even beautiful, town – a hopeful vision of a rebuilt world two centuries after the Great War. Its destruction, by another atomic bomb, is a devastating setback for civilization. Hank receives confirmation of the successful bombing on his Pip-Boy and appears briefly shaken, but remains committed to his mission. The scene cuts to a young Lucy asking her father, “When’s mom coming back?” as they begin to read The Wind in the Willows.
