With Halloween just around the corner, fans of the horror genre will have no doubt been checking out as many scary movies as possible to get them in the mood for the spookiest day of the year.

In a sentence you don't hear very often, Adam Sandler was generating some early Academy Awards buzz for his phenomenal performance in Uncut Gems, that was another rare reminder that underneath the formulaic comedy and lack of originality found in most of his work, the 54 year-old is a brilliant actor when handed more challenging material.

Animated sequel The Croods: A New Age isn't just one of the very few major titles left on the 2020 release schedule, but it's also the only one that's been moved forward on the calendar, which is an incredible rarity in a year when most other would-be blockbusters have packed up entirely and fled to 2021.
In the DCEU's main timeline, there's a well established connection between Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne and Ezra Miller's Barry Allen.
