I’ve always been hesitant about movies based on video games, honestly. So many of them just don’t live up to the original, changing key parts of the story and characters, and ending up disappointing everyone – both people new to the game and longtime fans. But The Super Mario Bros. Movie really surprised me! It actually broke that pattern, and I think it might be the best video game adaptation we’ve ever seen.
The show was filmed last winter, which is why Mortensen was cast. He recently gained attention due to a viral video involving his ex-girlfriend, Taylor Frankie Paul, leading to the cancellation of her season of The Bachelorette. ABC and Disney pulled the season just before it was set to air after the three-year-old video of a conflict between them surfaced. Although Paul had previously reached a legal agreement regarding an arrest at the time, there’s currently an ongoing investigation into allegations of domestic violence involving both her and Mortensen, with claims of abuse coming from both sides. Fans are upset that Mortensen is appearing on a new show so soon after his ex’s season was canceled, questioning why a company that supports women would give a platform to someone accused of abuse. One commenter asked, “As a company that empowers women, why are we giving abusive men a platform?”
Apple TV’s new series, Imperfect Women, created by Annie Weisman and featuring Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Kate Mara, centers around the aftermath of a brutal murder.

This suspenseful whodunit is full of compelling drama, making it a perfect addition to Apple TV’s lineup.
The fourth episode, “Hurm,” hasn’t been as well-received as previous ones. It centers on Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) traveling to Hell to join forces with Damien Darkblood (Clancy Brown) and protect Earth from the incredibly powerful villain, Volcanikka (Indira Varma). This episode notably adapts a storyline from the comic books that creator Robert Kirkman had previously cut.

The first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, introduced audiences to Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) as he discovered he was a wizard and began his education at Hogwarts. Over the next ten years, viewers followed Harry’s fight against the returned Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

Neil Druckmann recently shared some interesting finds on Instagram: early character sketches from 2003 that he discovered while cleaning his garage. These sketches were for characters who later appeared in the original game, and looking back at them prompted Druckmann to reflect on the game’s development. He hinted that there’s more story content on the way.
J.J. Abrams’ new, highly anticipated film aims to recapture the genuinely frightening atmosphere of the original 1993 movie. Director David Robert Mitchell ditches the over-the-top action of recent sequels and places a realistic 1980s family directly into the world of dinosaurs. The End of Oak Street promises a fresh and terrifying survival story, and it’s a welcome return to true horror for fans of creature features and dinosaur films.
The show accurately portrays the basic facts of what happened. John tried to fly his Piper Saratoga from Caldwell, New Jersey, to Martha’s Vineyard and then on to Hyannis, Massachusetts, with Carolyn and her sister Lauren on board. They took off at 8:40 p.m. on July 16th, flying east along the Connecticut coastline. Over the ocean near Martha’s Vineyard, John became confused about his location and lost control of the plane. When the plane didn’t arrive, search teams were dispatched. Four days later, the wreckage and the bodies of all three passengers were discovered.
