Premiering on June 17, 2021, Katla is an eight-episode series that expertly blends Icelandic folklore with a gripping, suspenseful story. Created by Sigurjón Kjartansson (Trapped) and Baltasar Kormákur (2 Guns, Everest), the show received overwhelmingly positive reviews for its deliberate pacing and moving portrayal of loss and grief. It’s a rare Netflix title with a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and deserves a place on your watchlist.
As a huge movie fan, I think a truly iconic action scene in the MCU needs to be something people will want to watch again and again. It could be an epic magical battle, a thrilling chase, incredible martial arts, or just a really exciting moment that connects with both the character and the audience. It’s all about replayability and that feeling of ‘wow!’
As of November 15th, The Magnificent Seven is currently the 7th most popular movie on MGM+ globally, according to FlixPatrol. In the United States, it’s ranked at number 9. When originally released, the film earned over $162 million worldwide, exceeding its $90 million production budget.
This month, the Kardashian-Jenner family threw a lavish James Bond-themed party to celebrate Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday, with guests dressing in their finest. Kim Kardashian channeled Halle Berry’s famous purple dress from the movie Die Another Day for the event, but struggled to decide how to style her hair and asked her sisters for help. The resulting discussion about Marilyn Monroe is documented in her recent vlog.
While some shows are ending in 2026, many others have been picked up for more seasons, with some returning soon. Now’s a good time to finish up the shows ending in 2026 and to start or continue watching the ones that will be back for even more episodes.
As a lifelong sci-fi fan, I’ve definitely noticed how tastes change over time. In the ’80s, everything was about big, flashy effects, clearly inspired by Star Wars. That carried on for a while into the ’90s, but people eventually started feeling like they’d seen it all before. Before superheroes really took over the sci-fi landscape, I felt like we were seeing a real resurgence of ‘hard’ sci-fi – stories focused on realistic science and concepts. That trend still feels strong today, and you really see it in the work of directors like Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve – some of their films are prime examples of that more thoughtful, science-driven approach.
The 1999 action horror film, End of Days, is now available to stream on Prime Video. It’s worth watching for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s surprisingly nuanced performance as an alcoholic fighting Satan – yes, it’s a strange movie! While Gabriel Byrne, a talented and often overlooked actor, plays the Devil, critics weren’t impressed, calling the film everything from an over-the-top thriller to one of the worst movies of 1999.
Even though I’ve enjoyed all of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books and was looking forward to the story about Sophie and Benedict, and I know the Stranger Things cast was very emotional about finishing the show, I’m just not feeling excited about either one right now. It’s not the actors, the plots, or the shows themselves – it’s the way Netflix is releasing content that’s the problem.
Nolan’s ambitious new film had a massive budget, leading many viewers to expect flawless execution in every aspect – from grand visuals to historical authenticity. While the movie undoubtedly delivers on large-scale scenes and impressive landscapes, it’s the finer points that are really capturing people’s attention. One viewer commented:
Lucasfilm has faced difficulties getting a new Star Wars movie made, even though they’ve announced several possibilities. Films like Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron, a planned movie starring Rey, and an untitled project from Taika Waititi have been stuck in development for some time, and it’s unclear whether they’ve been cancelled, delayed, or are still moving forward.
