When it comes to thrilling, over-the-top action, Mission: Impossible is in a class of its own, and most other franchises don’t even try to match its intensity. Director Paul Greengrass, known for The Bourne Supremacy, revolutionized action filmmaking with his fast-paced, shaky-cam style. This approach was so influential that even James Bond adopted a grittier, more realistic feel. Many action movies since then have copied Greengrass’s style and documentary-like storytelling, including The Contractor starring Pine, which unfortunately didn’t get the attention it deserved when it was released on Prime Video in 2022.

Edwin Schlossberg believes the recent show about the Kennedys focuses too much on superficial things like fashion and not enough on their family’s history of public service and advocacy for those who were often overlooked. He also wasn’t a fan of the clothes they had John F. Kennedy wearing, playfully pointing out his father was a very stylish man. He emphasizes that while the show might be entertaining, it’s ultimately a fictionalized account. In short, he finds the show overly dramatic, considers his father to have excellent taste, and dislikes plaid clothing.

Okay, so I was really bummed to hear that season 6 of Ghosts isn’t coming until 2027! But it’s not all bad news. CBS said we’re getting two special hour-long episodes – one for Halloween and one for Christmas – to hold us over until the new season finally arrives next spring. Plus, it sounds like CBS still wants to have some fun with spooky comedies, so that’s good too!

It appears Andy Serkis’s upcoming film, The Hunt for Gollum, will stay true to the style of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies rather than closely adapting the books. The return of Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, and Serkis himself confirms this direction. Interestingly, this consistency with the films is surprising because Serkis typically voices all Lord of the Rings characters in his audiobooks to match the movie actors – except for Aragorn. Many expected Serkis to cast Leo Woodall as a more adventurous version of Aragorn as portrayed in the novels. While Woodall is joining the cast, he’ll be playing a different part within Aragorn’s story.

The comedy Scrubs first aired on NBC in 2001 and ran for seven seasons. After NBC canceled the show, ABC picked it up for two more seasons. Now, after a 16-year hiatus, Scrubs is returning for a tenth season with original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, and John C. McGinley.

The groundwork for Avengers: Endgame was actually laid back in 2012 with the first Avengers movie, which brought together Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, and Samuel L. Jackson. After that film, Marvel Studios started carefully building up its cast and storyline towards that eventual, massive conclusion.

The new film will explore events leading up to or happening alongside those in The Fellowship of the Ring. Viggo Mortensen was about 40 when the first movie was filmed, and at 67 now, it might be difficult for even advanced digital technology to convincingly make him appear younger for the role.

Val Kilmer had agreed to star in the movie before he passed away, and his role was already set. With permission from his estate and daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, filmmakers used AI technology to recreate his image and include him in the finished film. The first look at the movie came with the official trailer, which Variety released and you can watch below.
