Villains can appear at any time in a movie and significantly change the story. However, while some villain reveals are brilliant, many others ultimately don’t add up or feel illogical.
While A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon are distinct shows that fans can appreciate for different reasons, House of the Dragon excels in several important areas.
I still remember when Face/Off came out! It was directed by the amazing John Woo, and it totally blew everyone away – it made over $245 million even though it only cost $80 million to make! Seeing Nicolas Cage and John Travolta together was fantastic – they both brought such unique energy to their roles. The story was definitely over-the-top, but the acting was incredible, and Woo’s direction was so stylish. Honestly, even after all these years, I think it’s one of the best action movies ever made, and definitely a standout from the 90s!
The story takes us back to the isolated, wooded town of Venus, Oregon. Three years before the main events, a woman named Hannah Galway makes the mistake of staying at the local inn. There, she’s subjected to a needlessly graphic and ultimately pointless torture scene involving a character named Dollface. Director Renny Harlin pads out the 90-minute movie with an unnecessary murder before returning to the core storyline.
The 1990s were a great decade for Westerns, with everything from grand, sweeping epics to smaller, fast-paced action movies. Many of Hollywood’s top directors tried their hand at the genre, bringing together incredible casts and creating memorable heroes.

Just as Riley and Gabe seemed destined to be a couple, Jesse Williams (known from Grey’s Anatomy) enters the picture as Andy, determined to win Riley’s heart. This creates a complicated love triangle, and next season, Riley will have to sort through her feelings for both Andy and Gabe.
It’s impressive that Lupin made the list considering it’s not an English-language show. According to Bloomberg, 76 million households tuned in during its first month. In 2021, it became the most popular non-English series on the streaming platform. The show features Omar Sy as Assane Diop, a skilled thief seeking revenge for his father’s death. The character is inspired by Arsène Lupin, a famous master thief created by author Maurice Leblanc in the early 1900s.
A new promotional video will air during major NBCUniversal events – the NBA All-Star Game, the Winter Olympics coverage, and the Super Bowl – on NBC and Peacock. The goal of the ads is to get people excited about visiting Universal Studios Hollywood when the new ride, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, opens this summer.
Did Elizabeth Banks’ character always seem so small? No, actually. The series is described as a funny and dramatic look at the power dynamics in a marriage, thrown into chaos by a strange technological mishap. The accident? It somehow shrinks the five-foot-five actress down to the size of a Lego figure. As hinted in the trailer, it all started with her husband, a scientist played by Matthew Macfadyen, trying to grow larger corn.
