The widely anticipated reopening of movie theaters across North America will finally be coming in July, and here are all the major releases planned so far.
If you still need to live in self-isolation, you've probably been enjoying an above-average amount of your favorite (or least favorite, we won't judge you) movies and TV shows. After several months like this, you may be starting to think about finding more productive things to do by your lonesome self like exercise, cleaning or learning new skills. Put those plans away though, because WarnerMedia just added 12 new horror movies to its brand new HBO Max streaming service, bringing the fledgling platform's roster of chillers and creature features to well over 120 in the first week since its launch.
If you're one of the many people who like celebrated actors Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr. as well as acclaimed director David Fincher, you may have enjoyed their critically lauded 2007 film Zodiac. But if you missed it back when it released, fear not, as you'll have the perfect chance to watch as it's now on Netflix. Great timing for those of us who need a good thriller while spending our summer stuck at home in self-isolation, right?
If you're one of the many people taking advantage of Avatar: The Last Airbender's timely return to Netflix while stuck at home, you'll probably remember that the streaming giant has been developing a live-action remake of Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko's classic Nickelodeon series. With the two confirmed to be returning as showrunners alongside composer Jeremy Zuckerman, chances that the reimagining will live up to the source material seem good, and now we've heard something that'll surely help to shovel more coal into this hype train's engine.
You can't keep a good manga down, just look at Battle Angel Alita and the seemingly permanent spot it's occupied in bookstores and anime shops everywhere for over twenty years. The cult classic series finally got some mainstream attention in the form of 2019's Alita: Battle Angel courtesy of longtime fan James Cameron and director Robert Rodriguez. The live-action adaptation stands as one of the first (or only, depending on who you ask) Hollywood adaptations of a beloved anime to earn the fanbase's respect, even though that didn't translate to an equally impressive box office performance.
2019 saw the Marvel Cinematic Universe suffer the most tragic losses it's ever seen and most likely ever will see. We're obviously talking about Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, collectively known as the Defenders. Each hero had their own series and while some were more popular than others, all of them provided solid entertainment, which is a testament to the quality of Marvel's partnership with Netflix.
Some viewers disliked the reduced role that Finn was given in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and Disney seems to be aware of this and will be aiming to fix it in the future. According to sources close to WGTC - the same ones who told us Ahsoka Tano will be in The Mandalorian season 2 and [SPOILERS] would be revealed as a traitor in Episode IX - not only will John Boyega's fan favorite character appear in future Star Wars media, but the next time we see him, he'll be using the Force, after the Sequel Trilogy hinted that he might be Force-sensitive on several occasions.
