Disney Plus has had a pretty good month so far, offering subscribers everything from brand new original shows and movies to classic films that have certainly added even more nostalgia to a service already teeming with it. The original flick Clouds has provided a dose of inspiration for viewers to absorb, while the addition of beloved movies like Angelina Jolie's Maleficent, the mutant sequel X2, and ensemble comedy Cheaper by the Dozen 2 has kept everyone busy while they wait for October's biggest release.
Unlike the beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC's own shared universe has been a messy affair full of movies that range from decent to downright insufferable, some iffy casting choices and lack of cohesion. This inconsistency between the films has really hurt what could've been something beautiful, and though everyone has their own opinions about what's worked and what hasn't, there's one thing most moviegoers have agreed upon – Jared Leto's unconventional portrayal of the Joker was incredibly awkward.
Though Saturday Night Live fans initially seemed to be loving Jim Carrey in his new role of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, the tables are now turning as his appearances on the late night sketch comedy series become increasingly over-the-top. As a matter of fact, Carrey has been trending on Twitter since showing up this past weekend, and it hasn't been pleasant.
Just in time for the spookiest holiday of the year, Netflix has released volume 2 of their hit reboot of Unsolved Mysteries. The second outing of the show features six new cases that include an unusual suicide, a supernatural phenomenon, an escaped fugitive that was never found and more. In other words, strap in for some unsettling stories that may very well keep you up at night.
Finales are a difficult thing to nail for most long-running series. After years of buildup, expectations are typically through the roof, and with so many plot threads to tie up and characters to offer closure to, writers and showrunners can often drop the ball. Of course, fans of the Showtime mega hit Dexter are all too aware of this unfortunate reality, as 2013's season 8 finale was one of the most divisive in television history.
Though Disney Plus may not offer the volume of fresh content that typically comes to Netflix and Hulu each month, fans of the Mouse House are usually treated to some genuinely exciting stuff that ranges from classic movies and shows to brand new Disney Plus Originals. This month has been no different, of course, with the addition of such hits as Angelina Jolie's fantasy flick Maleficent, season 31 of the beloved show The Simpsons and an inspirational true story in the form of the original film Clouds.
With 2020 being a disastrous year all around and next-gen consoles releasing in less than a month, you'd be forgiven for acting extra frugal when it comes to purchasing new games. Luckily, there's usually a handful of free titles available at any given moment – provided you know where to look for them - and this weekend, look you'll certainly want to, as there are quite a few worthwhile games to pick up right now across multiple platforms.
It's that time of year when pumpkins are being decorated, kids are getting their costumes ready, and everyone is buying copious amounts of candy. But one of the best parts of Halloween, of course, is the spooky movies and TV shows that put us in the holiday spirit. Thankfully, Netflix has been building up quite the collection throughout the month to ensure you've got plenty of scary things to get you riled up.
It's been a fun month to be a Disney Plus subscriber so far, and today's content drop aims to keep that trend alive. We're being treated to the addition of a new original movie, the premiere episode of an original show and plenty more that should keep you busy over the weekend – especially if you're a fan of nature.
