At CES 2026, LEGO and Lucasfilm unveiled a groundbreaking new brick called the Smart Brick. This single 2×4 brick uses tiny sensors to respond to whatever LEGO creation it’s part of, lighting up and making sounds. It works with new LEGO Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures to create interactive builds.
I recently asked Sophie Turner about the potential Game of Thrones sequels HBO is developing, and her answer was fantastic! She jokingly quoted Cuba Gooding Jr. from Jerry Maguire – “Show me the money!” – and then added that while it’d be tough, revisiting that world would also be incredible. It’s a playful response, but you can tell she’s definitely thinking about it!
Starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, along with Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, and Kyle Chandler, The Rip is shaping up to be a thrilling and suspenseful crime story. What’s particularly exciting is that Damon and Affleck are not only acting together again, but also producing the film through their production company, Artists Equity. They’ve consistently delivered strong work in Hollywood, from the acclaimed drama Good Will Hunting to the sleek crime thriller The Town, and The Rip continues their tradition of compelling stories in this genre.
The upcoming DCU Supergirl movie doesn’t seem to be drawing much from the look and feel of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book it’s based on. Doubts about how closely the movie would follow the comic began with the first teaser trailer, and a recent interview with James Gunn in Variety has lowered expectations even further.
In a recent interview, James Gunn revealed he’s been vividly imagining how he would portray both Superman and Lex Luthor. He shared his detailed vision for Superman and his plans for the future of the character’s story.
Led Zeppelin is notoriously protective of their music, and they’ve never permitted the use of “Stairway to Heaven” in movies or TV shows. Robert Plant explained that all four band members – with a particular astrological mix of Capricorns and a Leo – must unanimously agree on any use of their songs. They feel most requests don’t meet their standards, and truly exceptional opportunities, like those from shows such as The Bear, The Big Short, and School of Rock, are extremely rare. Plant believes their music deserves to be paired with films that have depth and meaning, but finding those projects is difficult, as many are simply lacking in taste. Considering how selective they are, it seems unlikely they would have approved the use of their song in a scene with a CGI monster.
Fans will be happy to hear that Mayor of Kingstown is getting a fifth and final season. However, announcing the end so soon after the fourth season – which surprisingly boosted the show’s popularity thanks to showrunner Dave Erickson – feels like a missed opportunity to build on that positive momentum.
For years, Marvel consistently released three movies annually, while DC’s schedule was less predictable, though they typically produced two films each year for about ten years. Now, both studios are investing heavily in TV series based on their superhero universes—the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the DC Universe (DCU). Despite this shift, movies remain their primary focus, and the coming year promises plenty of new releases.
Okay, so the first season of The Pitt gave us a pretty standard look inside a hospital. But let me tell you, season two is ramping things up! It’s set during the super busy Fourth of July weekend, and just when things couldn’t get more chaotic, the hospital loses power! That means even more emergencies for the team to handle. What I really appreciate is that now that we know the characters, the show can really dig into their stories, while still delivering that fast-paced, gripping medical drama that everyone loves.
Although critics had a varied reaction when it first came out, ¡Three Amigos! is now celebrated as one of the greatest Western comedies ever made. The movie was also a big hit, boosting the careers of its three stars. Steve Martin and Martin Short became close friends after working together on the film.
