As a devoted movie buff, I can confidently say that Disney+’s reboot of the ’90s classic, X-Men ’97, has absolutely breathed new life into a beloved animated series from my childhood.

In an unexpected twist, the first season’s climax sends our favorite X-Men scattering across different time periods, leaving fans eagerly awaiting what comes next!
In this reinterpretation: O’Connor portrays Reverend Jud Duplenticy, a young, self-seeking priest embarking on a journey towards redemption. He’s assigned to a humble church in rural New York, where he encounters Monsignor Wicks, played by Josh Brolin, a character reminiscent of Colonel Kurtz – authoritative, combative, and bordering on insanity. Initially, O’Connor’s character engages in a power struggle with the older priest using light-hearted humor. The British actor (once more portraying an American role, as he did in Challengers) is particularly endearing with his awkward moments. He proves to be an excellent choice for Johnson’s knack for introducing comic relief at unexpected moments, which can be rather frustrating. However, it’s hard to find fault with someone that good-looking also possessing a sense of humor.
As a passionate fan, I found myself pondering if Sony Pictures CEO Ravi Ahuja might have considered releasing “KPop Demon Hunters” directly in theaters instead of debuting it on Netflix first. During a recent conference, this is what he shared about that idea:
“From my perspective, streaming services like Netflix have provided an exciting avenue for audiences to access our content at their convenience. However, I do recognize the power and allure of a theatrical release, particularly for a project as unique as ‘KPop Demon Hunters’. That being said, it’s essential to weigh various factors before making a decision. Our primary goal is always to ensure that the viewers have an enjoyable experience, regardless of the platform they choose.
2024 marked the end of Benny and Josh’s collaborative journey in co-directing movies as they decided to pursue individual creative paths. As Benny shared with Variety, “This is a natural evolution of our separate aspirations.” He is now embarking on solo directorial ventures, eager to delve into projects that capture his unique interests. He desires the independence that will enrich his life at this moment. Both brothers have remained faithful to their pledge, with Benny premiering his standalone debut, The Smashing Machine, which recently won an award, and Josh set to release his Christmas production, Marty Supreme. For those yearning for a Safdie brothers reunion, hang on tight!

As a die-hard Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fan, let me tell you that one of the most unexpected deaths in Phase 4 was that of the Scarlet Witch in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.

A significant portion of this is accomplished through acting and cinematography. The film portrays Maddie’s complicated relationship with food by depicting her looking at and consuming it in a passionate yet unhealthy manner. This begins subtly, as the meals she prepares, initially made to appear appealing, leave traces of sauce or frosting on her face due to her eating them too hastily – something many people can likely relate to after skipping a meal. However, the film soon progresses to a scene of binge-eating, where Maddie aggressively stuffs food into her mouth in a dimly lit kitchen. She forces it down by drinking milk so quickly that it drips off her chin. This scene is shot up close and in a way that could be described as borderline explicit, with sound design so intense that it could trigger a strong response in someone with misophonia.
