[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersthrough the Season 1 finale ofLovecraft Country, “Full Circle."] The season finale of HBO’sLovecraft Countryleaves a lot to be desired where Ruby Baptiste (played by the incredibly skilledWunmi Mosaku) is concerned. Ruby was frequently the heart ofLovecraft Country, bringing moments of clarity and focus to a show that tended to get lost in its science-fiction sandbox. After watching Ruby develop in so many fascinating directions over the course ofLovecraft Country’s nine seasons, the final blow felt from the revelation that Ruby was killed (off-camera, which only adds insult to injury) was almost too much to bear....

Since the passengers ofManifest’s Flight 828 returned to New York City over five years after their initial departure, we have watched the Stone family undergo the trials and tribulations that have come along with their “callings” and miraculous resurrection. Possibly the biggest element ofManifesthas been Ben (Josh Dallas) working around the clock, even driving himself mad and straining his relationships at times, to solve the callings and make sure that his family is able to survive and live happily ever after when the death date comes around....

The path that a successful book can take from being adapted for film to becoming a TV show is a well-trodden one. Such fine examples of this includeWestworld,the futuristic sci-fi drama byMichael Crichton;The Handmaid’s Tale,first adapted intoa 1990 filmbefore its highly successful run as a TV show;andThe Lincoln Lawyer,the book byMichael Connelly, first adapted as a film starringMatthew McConaugheybefore moving to television withManuel Garcia-Rulfoin the front seat. The latest and most exciting addition to this canon isThe Rainmaker,the 1995 legal drama by all-conquering authorJohn Grishamthat was adapted for film in 1997....

If you’ve had a chance to watch thefirst trailerfor Sony’s Marvel movieMorbius, you probably spied at least a couple connections to the studio’s existing cinematic universe and that of Disney’s own MCU. If youhaven’twatched it yet, you might want to remedy that before reading further sincespoilersabound. Though obviouslyMorbiusis going to be a Marvel Comics movie in some fashion since the title doctor-turned-vampiric monstrosity is, in fact, a Marvel Comics character, the whole Hollywood side of things complicates matters....

Confession: I’m a bit of aSpawnfanboy. I was pretty young when the first issue dropped in 1992, so getting my hands on a copy felt like a forbidden, taboo achievement. I absolutely adore the 1997 HBO animated series featuring the incomparableKeith Davidvoicing the title role, and I’ll ever defend the admittedly pretty awful live-action adaptation o the same year starring the underratedMichael Jai White. So it suffices to say that I’m pretty excited and cautiously optimistic for creatorTodd McFarlane’s movie reboot on the property....

Lionsgate has announced a slew of release date changes, the most notable of which is that theSawsequelSpiralis moving back a full year, from June 21, 2025 to July 28, 2025. Nowthatis a huge bummer, because I was super excited to see that one, especially withChris RockandSamuel L. Jacksonjoining the long-running horror franchise. In fact, the studio is more or less shifting its entire calendar a year, as theKristen WiigcomedyBarb and Star Go to Vista Del Marmoves from July 12, 2025 to July 20, 2025, and theRyan Reynolds-Samuel L....

Most places that show the trilogy will show it “back-to-back-to-back as one galactic-sized triple feature....

Production onStranger ThingsSeason 4 has been a unique process, to say the least. Filming kicked off in January 2020, shut down in March due to the pandemic, didn’t resume until October 2020 and is still underway at this very moment. What that likely means is we’ll have a good deal longer to wait until we can see the new season. If that comes as a disappointment, fear not! You’re going to have the chance to see some new Netflix work fromSadie Sinkvery, very soon via theFear Streettrilogy....
