10 Historical Epics That Are Perfect From Start to Finish

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.

A Tale of Two Springsteens

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.

Bob Odenkirk’s New Action Thriller That Is Perfect for ‘John Wick’ Fans Lands a Release Date

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.

The Stavvy Method for Saving Young Men

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.

Star Trek: Picard’s Todd Stashwick Reveals What It Would Take For Him To Join A Sequel Series

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.

When Is ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Streaming on Disney+?

I’m so excited that the movie is finally coming to Disney+! It’s been available to rent for a month now, and November 5th can’t come soon enough. Gizmodo reported the news on Friday, and it’s great to see it’ll be on streaming so quickly – it’s the fastest turnaround for a Marvel movie this year! Plus, when it hits Disney+, we’ll get an IMAX enhanced version of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is awesome.
