According to tech blog FlatPanelsHD, several features have been removed, such as easy rewinding and fast-forwarding using side buttons, timeline scrubbing with circular motions, options to customize how subtitles look, Apple’s dialogue enhancement feature, and a double-tap function to quickly see a title’s end time. Several accessibility features were also removed.
The new sci-fi movie starring Ryan Gosling opened to a strong start, bringing in $80 million in the US and Canada and $141 million globally. This marks the biggest opening weekend ever for a film from Amazon MGM.
Twenty years after Malcolm in the Middle finished, Frankie Muniz is reprising his role as Malcolm, now as an adult navigating his famously chaotic family. The new limited series brings back original cast members like Bryan Cranston, Justin Berfield, Christopher Masterson, and Jane Kaczermarek, and also includes a dedicated fan of the show who’s excited to be a part of it.
SpaceGodzilla has only been in one major movie so far: the 1994 film Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. In that film, he was an incredibly powerful opponent who almost defeated Godzilla. If the new SpaceGodzilla in the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is as dangerous, Godzilla and Kong will need to become much stronger to survive. While Legendary hasn’t confirmed anything, we might have already seen hints about how they’ll gain those upgrades, thanks to an unexpected leak.
While many remember it fondly, Malcolm in the Middle hasn’t become the endlessly rewatched hit that shows like The Office and New Girl have. Those shows have iconic quotes and popular rewatch podcasts hosted by their stars, but Malcolm in the Middle hasn’t had the same lasting impact. This is partly because it didn’t get the same boost from streaming services like Netflix. It’s also because, aside from Bryan Cranston, the cast hasn’t stayed in the public eye. Hulu’s new continuation, Life’s Still Unfair, quickly reminds viewers of the show’s chaotic energy. The opening montage is filled with violence and drama, and Frankie Muniz’s Malcolm immediately addresses the audience with his signature anxious tone. He boasts about learning to deal with difficult people, and suddenly, it all comes flooding back: this show was delightfully edgy and unpredictable.
The new film Faces of Death isn’t a remake of the controversial 1978 shockumentary, which pretended to be a collection of real-life tragedies (despite using a lot of fake footage). Instead, this surprisingly enjoyable horror movie – the third from directors Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei, known for Cam and How to Blow Up a Pipeline – is a smart and unsettling update of the original’s core idea. It explores not just the line between what’s real and fake, but also our fascination with gore and the strange pride some people take in not being shocked by it. Nowadays, you don’t need to sneak around to find violent videos – the internet readily provides everything from documented atrocities to live-streamed shootings, almost as if the goal is to make us numb to suffering. Being online means constantly dodging disturbing images, a task that’s nearly impossible for someone like Margot, whose job involves sifting through endless streams of shocking content.
It’s easy to see why self-contained, short stories like mysteries are so popular – the format works well. However, it’s often the long-running crime dramas that truly endure, constantly refreshing themselves with new characters and plots while still staying true to their original appeal. While very few British detective shows reach ten seasons or more – even beloved series like Inspector Morse didn’t – some of Britain’s most famous procedural dramas have managed to achieve that impressive longevity.
Stephen King is still one of the most famous and highly-regarded authors in the horror genre. Many of his stories have been made into movies and TV shows, with Edgar Wright’s The Running Man (2025) being the latest adaptation. Beyond writing new books, King is also a regular on social media, where he frequently praises shows and films he likes.
The award-winning comic book series Southern Bastards, created by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour, is now being adapted into a TV show. It’s a compelling blend of small-town Americana, intense crime drama, and the passion of high school football. The story starts with a veteran searching for his roots, but quickly spirals into a larger criminal conspiracy. If you enjoy shows like Justified and Ozark, with a touch of Friday Night Lights, you’ll likely be hooked. Here’s what the pilot episode is about:
Warner Bros. is returning to the world of Middle-earth after a long break. The first project will be Andy Serkis’ The Hunt for Gollum, a story that takes place early in The Fellowship of the Ring and includes characters like Gandalf, Frodo, and Aragorn. Following that, Stephen Colbert is creating Shadow of the Past, which will jump ahead in time after the events of the original trilogy, even though it’s based on a scene originally cut from Peter Jackson’s films.
