Okay, as a huge Evil Dead fan, I’m already counting down the days until the new film, Evil Dead Burn, hits theaters.

Even better, Francis Galluppi, who directed The Last Stop In Yuma County, is set to direct. That’s fantastic news, and it means we’ll be seeing more Deadites sooner rather than later!

For years, movies and shows based on video games were met with a lot of doubt, and for good reason. But recently, things have started to change, particularly with successful TV adaptations like The Last of Us and Fallout. Because of this growing optimism, it’s hard not to be excited about the new video game series coming to Prime Video.

The series doesn’t shy away from depicting the harsh realities of the ninja world, especially when beliefs clash with what actually happens. It often suggests massive, unseen losses, both among ninjas and civilians. Crucially, the story isn’t afraid to kill off important characters – teachers, leaders, and friends – one after another. Whether it’s large-scale invasions or missions that fail horribly, these storylines stand out because of the sheer number of deaths or the lasting consequences of the events. They demonstrate the high cost of change in this world.

The roots of manga may stretch back to illustrated scrolls from the 1100s and 1200s, but the form really began to take shape during Japan’s Edo period with a book called Toba Ehon. This book helped popularize illustrated stories and moved them from simple jokes to a more lasting art form. While very different from popular manga like Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen today, Toba Ehon’s influence can still be seen in manga, particularly in its earlier styles.

The 1995 movie Vampire in Brooklyn is now available to stream on Paramount+. The Eddie Murphy film will join other popular titles like Run and Us on the platform starting February 1st.

Before becoming known for navigating difficult situations in the Texas oil industry, Billy Bob Thornton starred in the 2005 remake of the classic comedy Bad News Bears. Directed by five-time Oscar nominee Richard Linklater, the film follows Morris Buttermaker, a former baseball player who has fallen on hard times. Buttermaker, now struggling with alcohol and relationships, gets a chance to redeem himself when he’s asked to coach a team of inexperienced little league players, and he gradually helps them become a successful team.

Even after forty years, these films still feel incredibly fresh and exciting. It’s amazing to revisit these classics from the 1980s and see how much energy they still have. Directors like Spielberg, Hughes, and Cameron didn’t just make great movies – they set the standard for everything that came after. In today’s fast-paced world, taking the time to watch these films almost feels like a bold act.
