There are five official Die Hard movies. Given star Bruce Willis’ retirement from acting, it’s likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future. (Don’t rule out The Wholly Redundant Adventures of Young John McClane coming to theaters in summer 2035.) Regardless, the series will live on indefinitely, not just through the endlessly beloved, rewatchable, and Christmas-ready original or Die Hard with a Vengeance also being really fun, but through...

28 Years Later might be the third entry in the horror series, but the moody film feels like it could be a standalone work – right up until its final moments. The post-apocalyptic coming-of-age story from director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) and writer Alex Garland (Civil War) plays with time and perspective, only revealing the importance of its first scene with a cliffhanger ending that sets up the next film...

DC will publish Batman/Deadpool #1 from Grant Morrison and Dan Mora, while Marvel has tapped Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo for Deadpool/Batman #1. The backup stories and their creative pairs for Marvel’s book were announced Friday, and they might end up being more fun than the main...

The 2025 anime spring season came on strong. Lazarus, the new project from Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichiro Watanabe, launched in April, alongside Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Wind Breaker season 2 brought more intense fighting scenes, while Kowloon Generic Romance proved to be the existential posthuman sci-fi I didn’t know I needed. This season, I also found a small gem: YAIBA: Samurai Legend, available on Netflix and Hulu. This adaptation of...
