28 Years Later is a superb, multifaceted horror movie with a lot of different things on its mind, and over its two hours it moves through quite a few tonal shifts: folk horror, coming-of-age family drama, gory action movie, and surreal meditation on societal breakdown. Even in this context, though, the ending is jarring, and might leave viewers wondering: What was that all about? On one level, it’s a setup...

Actor Shazad Latif has a long history of playing characters at war with themselves. He portrayed the most archetypal example of internal conflict, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, on Penny Dreadful; a Klingon sleeper agent on Star Trek: Discovery; and will soon be playing an Indian Prince who takes the name Nemo as he embarks on a quest for vengeance in Nautilus, a reimagining of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues...

Secrets and stories run amok in the new trailer for season 5 of Dirty Laundry, Dropout’s alcohol-infused talk show where contestants reveal truths that can only be willingly shared by the inebriated. One guest admits to a cat kidnapping while another says, “my grandfather’s dick is crazy,” so that should give you an idea of what’s made the past four seasons so hilarious when the show returns Tuesday, July 15....

Hype culture is all around us. Industries leverage fandom obsession, distribution companies manufacture scarcity, and social media keeps the FOMO fires burning. In a striking bit of timing, Netflix has two new, wildly different titles that echo the same cautionary message about the cult of celebrity: K-Pop Demon Hunters, an animated pop fantasy, and The Astroworld Tragedy, centered on the Travis Scott concert that went horribly wrong. Both are blowing...

Warcraft director Duncan Jones shared the first look at his next project Tuesday, Rogue Trooper. Based on the 2000 AD comics character, the film is notable for being animated in Unreal Engine 5, the video game design tool used to create some of the most popular games of 2025, like Split Fiction and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. “We are so excited to share a first look of the film and...

The new Pixar movie Elio maintains the animation studio’s house style. It has elements of buddy comedy, with an 11-year-old human boy befriending a sweet-natured alien; it deals with complicated coming-of-age emotions reminiscent of later-period Pixar movies like Coco, Turning Red, and Luca; it whisks audiences away to a whimsically animated and eye-pleasing new world, in this case a vast spaceship where denizens of far-flung planets keep representatives to govern...

The latest trailer of Ranma ½ Season 2 not only confirms that the new season will premiere in October 2025, but also introduces new characters like Mousse and Ukyo Kuonji, who are joining the cast in the upcoming season of the show.

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...
