The Good Aliens being among us is always worth checking out. The Bad It seems like this show didn’t have the legs or the story to keep itself going. Threshold: The Complete Series grabbed me because I was a very big fan of the show V from the 1980s. I remember watching that show and actually believing that the aliens were here for good reasons. Then, I remember as clear as day when everything changed on that show....
Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is one of the most popular characters to have appeared in the MCU since its inception. As the villain for many years, the charming God of Mischief was a hard character to really dislike, even when he was attempting to destroy the world. However, following his redemption in his final appearances, Loki almost became a hero before dying at hands of Thanos. Despite that, the time-traveling plot of Avengers: Endgame meant that Loki had a second chance in his own Disney+ TV series, and among the many things to come from the popular show was a confirmation of Loki’s sexuality....
When it comes to Marvel characters who have gone from fan favorite villains to much-loved heroes, Loki stands head and shoulders above all others.

Having been one of the few characters to have died once in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but still managed to continue on in his role, Hiddleston accepts that Loki has been a huge part of his life....
A married couple’s attempt to get away from their digital life predictably devolves into backwoods shenanigans. Unplugging’s brief slivers of comedy don’t compensate for a woefully thin script. The premise is milked dry early in the second act. Unplugging then uses goofy interactions with cardboard characters as lame filler material. Eva Longoria and Matt Walsh have believable chemistry with each other and make the film watchable on a basic level, but amateurish direction wastes the talent of its veteran leads....
Role Models screenwriter Timothy Dowling has been hired by Warner Bros. to write the remake Uptown Saturday Night, which Will Smith and Denzel Washington may star in.

After originally being planned for an exclusive HBO Max release sometime this year, Warner Bros. Discovery made the shocking choice to completely pull the already shot Batgirl film from its calendar. A statement from the company following the decision said shelving Batgirl was a reflection of a “strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max”. Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav revealed more about that shift in the company’s Q2 earnings call, saying WBD’s new regime has a “different view” on releasing films direct to streaming, and is instead opting to focus on the theatrical experience:...

Drogon laying waste to the Iron Throne in the Game of Thrones series finale has been a major topic of discussion since the episode aired, and now a page from the script sheds new light on the scene. As viewers will remember, Jon Snow murders Daenerys Targaryen in the final episode to prevent the reign of a mad queen. Her trusty dragon Drogon is furious when he sees the corpse, but rather than obliterating Jon with his fire breath, the dragon aims the flames in another direction, completely destroying the Iron Throne instead....
The trilogy of Star Wars sequels produced by Disney after their purchase of Lucasfilm in the 2010s is a bit divisive, to say the least. While The Force Awakens was generally well-liked upon its release in 2015, fans were intensely split over The Last Jedi in 2017, which led to immense overcorrection with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. The result of all of this is a Star Wars trilogy that feels at war with itself, almost as much as the fans were at war with each other over it....
The Disney+ miniseries Moon Knight has received both positive and negative reviews from critics and fans alike.
