Arguably the most popular movie franchise featuring Oscar-winning actor Will Smith shoots its way onto a new streaming platform to start 2025. The Bad Boys film series will be available to watch for free in the New Year, but with a catch.

The free streaming platform, Tubi, confirmed that they will begin airing the Bad Boys movies on Jan. 1, 2025. However, the service is set to stream only the first two movies, the eponymous original film and Bad Boys II, meaning fans hoping to see Bad Boys for Life and Ride or Die will have to go elsewhere to catch up with the most recent installments of the action comedy series.

A new breed of creature-features was unleashed in the 1990s and continued well into the next decade. Shaking off the ecological messaging of the past, these monsters existed for the sake of pure mayhem. Just to name a few: Tremors, The Relic, Anaconda, Godzilla, Deep Rising and Lake Placid all showcased this trend of irreverent creature chaos. Reptiles and other scaly beasts proved to be a popular source of inspiration for these films, but for that extra crawly experience, bugs were the best and quickest route. Spiders, in particular, led some of the worst infestations on screen in the early 2000s. And on the underbelly of this creeping new wave — specifically the direct-to-video sector — hangs an overlooked offering of spider horror: Arachnid.

In 2000, Brian Yuzna and Julio Fernández launched the Spanish production company Fantastic Factory. The Filmax banner’s objective was to create modestly budgeted genre films for international distribution.

Ravil Isyanov, a film, television and voice actor who had worked in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years, died on Sept. 29 after a long illness. He was 59.

Isyanov’s death was confirmed to Variety by his longtime agent Tanya Kleckner.

“He was a true gentleman and worked up until [his] passing. I’ve worked with him for 20 years and we became firm friends,” Kleckner wrote. “He will be sorely missed. We are all heartbroken by this tragic loss, a beautiful soul gone way too soon.”

Isyanov was born in 1962 in the city of Voskresensk in the Soviet Union. After completing two years in the Soviet Air Force, Ravil worked at the Khabarovsk Theatre before studying at the Moscow Art Theatre School and the Oxford branch of the British American Drama Academy. In 1998, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in screen acting, where he worked and lived for the rest of his life.

Ravil Isyanov, a Soviet-born American character actor who appeared in movies including Defiance, K-19: The Widowmaker and Transformers: Dark of the Moon and in numerous TV series, most recently playing Kirkin on CBS’ NCIS: Los Angeles, died Sept. 29 at his home in Los Angeles after a long illness. He was 59.

Isyanov was born August 20, 1962 in Voskresensk, Russia (then part of the Ussr). Drawn to performing arts from a young age, he enrolled in Perm Institute of Culture to study directing after graduating from high school in 1980. His studies were interrupted in 1982 when he left to complete a two-year mandatory military service in the Soviet Air Force and was stationed in the Russian Far East.

He then worked at the Khabarovsk Theatre for two seasons, after his caricatures of the theater’s actors caught the eye of its director, before getting into...

Blood Diamond director makes gratifying, but not great, historical drama

Filmmakers continue to find inspiring stories from the ashes of World War II and Germany’s attempt to extinguish its Jewish population. In Defiance, it’s the relatively unknown story of the Bielsky brothers and their courageous undertaking in hiding and protecting hundreds of fellow Jews in the forests of occupied Russian territory. Daniel Craig plays Tuvia, who becomes the de facto leader of the hidden community after a power struggle with brother Zus (Liev Schreiber). When Zus and others leave to fight with the Russian troops, Tuvia and his wards face the hardships of cold, hunger and internal revolt.
