The Cast for Indiana Jones 5 Is So Exciting!

Boyd Holbrook and shaunette renée wilson

We know very little about the next Indiana Jones and that's okay with me. You can keep me in the dark up until the night it is released as long as you just keep giving me a look into the amazing actors who are going to bring to life one of my favorite franchises.

The Woman in the Window Review: Don’t Even Bother Until the Joe Wright Cut Is Available

Amy Adams stares out a window with her hands on the glass, looking distressed as Anna Fox in Woman in the Window (2021)

On paper, Netflix's 'The Woman in the Window,' based on a bestselling thriller, had all the components of a total tour de force. In its execution, this movie is an absolute mess.

Netflix’s Halston Is Too Simple a Look at a Complicated Man

I didn't hate Halston. It's not a Murphy production that I'll yell about for years to come. It was just fine.

Katy Perry and Pikachu Have Done the Collaboration of the Year in “Electric” Music Video

Pikachu and Katy Perry in new music video "Electric."

Katy Perry just released a collaboration music video with Pokémon and it's already the best crossover of the year! Plus, I'd never say no to more of Pikachu.

Netflix’s Army of the Dead Did Its Latinx Characters Dirty

Army of the Dead Latinx actors Raul Castillo and Ana de la Reguera.

Netflix's Army of the Dead disrespected and underutilized every single Latinx character in this heist/zombie movie, and I'm not forgetting it any time soon.

Why Are We Obsessed With the Legacy of Anne Boleyn?

the many faces of Anne Boleyn: Natalie Dormer in The Tudors, Jodie Turner-smith in Anne Boleyn; and Geneviève Bujold in Anne of the Thousand Days

Channel 5 has released a new teaser trailer for Anne Boleyn, a three-part psychological thriller starring actress Jodie Turner-Smith as the infamous Tudor Queen—a casting choice that will probably be the most interesting thing about this series. Not a story we haven't seen told before, but it raises the question: Why are we culturally so obsessed with Anne Boleyn?

Netflix’s Castlevania Sticks the Landing on Four Seasons of Vampire War, Bloody Death, and Tragic Love

Closeup on Carmilla's face in Netflix's Castlevania season 4.

There is heart at the center of this show's vampiric corpse, and to end the series I wanted it to find the beauty in all that it had created. Not just the violence. And it did.
