Whether you like comics, movies, or video games, Marvel offers many ways to jump into the world of Spider-Man. From the *Ultimate Spider-Man* comics to Sam Raimi’s *Spider-Man* films, there are plenty of excellent options for new fans. No matter how you prefer to experience stories, Spider-Man has something for everyone, providing great starting points for reading, watching, and enjoying his adventures.
The development of the Tooms character allowed actor Terry O’Quinn to deliver one of his strongest performances. As the first episode to move away from the show’s overarching mythology, it was crucial that this initial monster be compelling and effective. Tooms wasn’t portrayed as a typical, over-the-top villain; instead, he was designed to seem ordinary, drawing inspiration from the character of Hannibal Lecter. This approach created a monster who felt surprisingly human, ultimately leading to his release even after being caught. Like Lecter, Tooms consistently outwits those who try to capture him, either escaping or being set free. His debut in *The X-Files* was key to establishing the show’s strong presence in the horror genre.
Martin Scorsese’s horror films are beloved by audiences and remain influential even now. Movies like *Cape Fear* and *Shutter Island* draw inspiration from a wide range of classic films, not just other horror movies. Scorsese himself grew up a fan of the genre and continues to be moved by great cinema. It’s therefore fitting that one of his recent favorite films belongs to a popular horror franchise that began in the 2020s. While several filmmakers have been impactful recently, Ti West stands out. West skillfully uses horror elements to create unique and compelling modern films, and his influence on Scorsese is clear.
Okay, so I was checking Prime Video’s charts today, October 11, 2025, and you won’t believe this – *Knight and Day* is currently at number 10! It’s actually been climbing, breaking into the top ten yesterday. What’s really cool is that it’s doing so well even with all the newer, big-budget movies out right now – it’s even beating a film that made over a billion dollars at the box office! Besides that, Mark Wahlberg’s *Play Dirty* is still holding strong at number one, and *No Time to Die* is right behind it at number two.
The world of *Yellowstone* is growing, with several new stories planned. Following the conclusion of the original series last December, characters Beth (Kelly Reilly), Rip (Cole Hauser), and Kayce (Luke Grimes) will each star in their own spin-off shows, continuing the storylines fans have come to love. Interestingly, the co-creator of *Yellowstone* will be less involved in these series, including Kayce’s *Y: Marshals*, similar to how *Tulsa King* was made.
Like an unexpected rainstorm in mid-July, institutional interest in the humble little blockchain is swelling as Ripple lures in heavy hitters from the big leagues. The C1 Fund, a publicly traded treasure chest on the NYSE, unveiled on the fine morning of October 9 that they’ve plunked down some serious clams for a slice of Ripple’s pie, a company on a quest to tightrope walk through the chaotic world of global payments and financial infrastructure. 🍰💰
The upcoming movie, based on Stephen King’s novel *The Running Man*, features Glen Powell as Ben Richards in a desperate fight for survival. The trailer showcases intense action, including Powell’s character jumping from a bridge, battling pilots mid-air, and performing a daring, nearly nude rappel. Powell recently told EW that he was initially enthusiastic about filming the scene, explaining…
After surviving a confrontation with Dr. Loomis in *Halloween II*, Michael Myers returned in a bigger, more ambitious sequel. Donald Pleasence gave a particularly strong performance as Loomis, though Jamie Lee Curtis spent much of the film unconscious. The movie is divisive among fans – some love it, while others criticize it heavily. Regardless of opinions, it’s a significant entry in the *Halloween* series. Despite director John Carpenter’s dislike of the film, it established the direction – and many of the future issues – of the franchise, including its later sequels and reboots. It also cemented Michael Myers’s status as the definitive slasher villain, a figure who remains unmatched.
With the initial pleasantries over, *Spy x Family* Season 3, Episode 2 (Episode 39 overall) had the potential to kick off the season’s main conflict. Instead, the episode flashes back to reveal a deeply sad and difficult period in the life of a key character. However, viewers have to sit through a rather predictable and repetitive portion of the story before reaching this emotional and revealing backstory.
Okay, let me tell you about *Bone Lake*. This is a really tight, four-person horror film that absolutely lives up to the hype. If you’re a serious horror fan looking for something different this Halloween, this is it. Honestly, most super-gory horror just isn’t *fun* like this is – *Bone Lake* is playful and constantly messes with what you think is going to happen. It’s devious, a little wicked, and genuinely delightful, and it totally delivers on its promise of being a seductive and psychologically thrilling ride.
