Trap was one of my favorite movies of last year. Every moment of the film was riveting, watching as a serial killer and his daughter tried to escape a sting operation. Unfortunately, not everyone agreed, with some people finding it too off-putting and the Academy members not having any room in their hearts to nominate it for their precious Oscars.
M. Night Shyamalan, director of Trap, was shut out of Hollywood for a while. He had to fund Split himself after backlash from an admittedly disappointing streak of films, which included The Last Airbender. However, Trap is one of his best, and I think it's time to admit that.
'Trap' Is the Greatest Thriller of 2024
There were certainly some exciting thrillers in 2024. It was interesting watching Naomi Ackie escape rich male abusers in Blink Twice, or Taron Egerton channel John McClane in Carry-On. That being said, I easily...

Law & Order: Svu Season 26 Episode 16 got me good.
I didn’t understand why we needed a sequel to Ellie’s coma story, but it all came together beautifully.
I especially appreciated the connection to Benson’s personal history—something Law & Order: Svu used to do regularly but has forgotten in recent years.
(Virginia Sherwood/NBC) First, A Refresher About Benson’s History In Case You Need It
Benson’s history as a product of rape was established in Law & Order: Svu’s pilot episode in 1999.
The pilot was also the one and only time we met her mother, who worried that Benson was getting in over her head by working for the Special Victims Unit.

For more than two decades, Jeff Probst has been the proud face of Survivor. While the show is known for its thrilling factor, it was the host who truly made it popular. But behind the scenes, he was facing a personal battle that nobody knew about. This battle somewhat mirrored Christopher Nolan’s psychological thriller Memento.

And just like in the movie, Probst had a condition that severely affected his short-term memory, causing him to forget conversations, important details, and even some of his everyday moments.

There’s no denying the fact that Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass is the best deal gamers can get. Many might argue that the concept of having a video game library locked behind subscription services is absolutely horrendous.

The Dragon Ball Zanime has a massive 291 episodes. No anime series, no matter its quality, can deliver perfection 100% of the time, and Dragon Ball is no exception, as despite being packed with great moments and stunning stories, the series features several below-average episodes. There are many reasons these episodes may fall below the standard fans expect from the Dragon Ball franchise.
Sometimes, the episodes are pure filler that only exist to fill time until the manga can catch up. Other times, the episodes are poorly structured, dulling the impact of the moment they're trying to convey. Finally, some episodes feature bizarre writing, animation, or pacing choices that degrade the entire experience.
Dragon Ball Z Episode 272 Shifts In Tone A Lot, But Candy Vegito Is A Little Far Dragon Ball Z Episode 272, "The Incredible Fighting Candy"
The battle against Buu is one of the most controversial sequences in Dragon Ball history.

After feeling a little short-changed about excluding characters we’ve grown to love from The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 Episode 1, the follow-up made up for it in a big way.
The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 Episode 2 re-introduced everyone and kicked off the final arcs for the Gemstones in their orbit.
I’m going to be honest: I’ll miss every one of these characters because they bring this beautiful, chaotic energy into the narrative.
(Jake Giles Netter/HBO )
The series doesn’t take itself seriously — at all. It allows the characters to have a lot of fun, culminating in a show that is as close to perfect as we’re going to get.
We’ll start with Eli because his storyline was the most changed between seasons as he embraced retirement and headed off to the high seas in Florida on a boat that didn’t look befitting of someone of his status.

This is a scene-by-scene recap of Dark Winds Season 3 Episode 2, “Náá’tosh” (Big Eyes). For a discussion of the episode, please check out our Dark Winds Season 3 Episode 2 review.
A couple of guys are driving along in a pickup. The driver is pleased with himself for taking a holster out of a pickup. That must be Bernadette’s gun, as he picked it up down by the river. He’s pleased with himself for being panther-like.
The older fellow driving with him proves how panther-like the driver is when he smothers him with a “have a nice day” grocery bag. He takes the gun from his waistband and shoves the car down the ravine before using the nearby bulldozer to begin dropping dirt on the truck.
(Michael Moriatis/AMC)
The driver wakes up to this nightmare. The ravine looked much larger than the allotment of dirt, but it’s filled in entirely.

Neek Box Office Collection Day 14 (Photo Credit – Facebook)
While Dragon has turned out to be a massive hit, things aren’t that good for the other Kollywood releases. Coming to the Dhanush directorial, Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam, aka Neek, it has failed to rake in desired numbers. In fact, the film has emerged as a huge disaster at the Indian box office and is heading for a lifetime collection of below 10 crores. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of 14 days!
Reception of the film
The Tamil coming-of-age romantic comedy was theatrically released on February 21, 2025. It opened to mixed reviews from critics. The comedy elements and the music of the film were praised, but other aspects, like the writing and performances of the lead cast, were criticized.

This week’s Samba TV Weekly Wrap Report presents an interesting juxtaposition. The Oscars telecast, on Sunday, March 2, was far and away the most-watched linear program of the week, with 13.1 million households tuning in. While that celebration of movies drew massive viewership, the nominated movies themselves were not big draws over on streaming, where many are currently available across a variety of services.
During the weekend of the Oscars, Feb. 28 to March 2, the most-viewed Best Picture nominee was “A Complete Unknown,” was seen in 182,000 households, likely aided by its Feb. 25 launch on VOD. Meanwhile, eventual Best Picture winner “Anora” was seen in 82,000 households, placing it fifth among the nine nominees.
Now, many of these films may have been seen in theatres during their initial release, and some can expect a bump in the weeks to come. But the main story on streaming this week is TV series, which hold eight of the 10 spots.

The couple met each other in 2016 on sets of Holland’s Marvel entry, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and soon were rumored to be dating. However, Holland and Zendaya are not the only Marvel stars to be engaged, since their Spider-Man co-star, Jacob Batalon, is now engaged too.

Hot off the success of American Horror Story and Glee, the twisted minds of TV producers Brad Falchuk, Ryan Murphy, and Ian Brennan birthed a unique creation with the Fox series, Scream Queens, which featured a then mostly unknown Glen Powell. A mix of horror and black comedy with a dash of campy satire, Scream Queens ran for two seasons from 2015- 2016. It starred Emma Roberts as Chanel Oberlin, the It-girl of Wallace University and head of the campus’ biggest sorority, Kappa Kappa Tau. Also featured were Billie Lourd, Keke Palmer, Abigail Breslin, Nick Jonas, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Roberts may have dazzled as Chanel, but Glen Powell was arguably an even bigger scene-stealer. Powell made his acting debut in 2003's Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. From there, he continued to act steadily, notably playing astronaut John Glen in 2015's Hidden Figures. However, it was Powell's role as Hangman in...

Apart from being a high-rated anime, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End captures the essence of friendships and adventure through its riveting storyline. No wonder it was awarded Anime of the Year for several reasons.
From its stellar animation to splendid storytelling, it showcases a spectrum of themes through its enthralling plot. But that is not all considering its lore that has most fans scratching their brains out.

Of late, several Redditors responded to one of the panels from the manga which pointed to the said myth. In his writing of the series, Kanehito Yamada may have left loose ends that are yet to be tied up.
And while the discussion brought out interesting hypotheses from readers, it reflected the underlying theme of romance. Although subtle, the mangaka gave his unique spin to themes of relationships and love through several nuances.

One Piece is riddled with many mysteries and mind-blowing revelations. There are many memorable twists throughout the series, but they would sadly pale in comparison to Attack on Titan. Not to discredit the intrigue of One Piece, but Hajime Isayama has perfected the art of casually surprising fans, leaving them in a limbo as to what to believe.

At every turn, the narrative of Attack on Titan meets fans with a new revelation that changes their perception of the Aot world. What makes the plot twists in the series so much better than other shonen series is how they impact the story. Their whole purpose isn’t short-lived shock value, but they play a role in the grand scheme of things.

It shouldn’t take a funeral for Days of Our Lives to give us a break from nonsense and get back to what’s made this soap amazing for more than half a century, but here we are.
Now that Doug’s memorial is behind us and most of the classic characters have left again, it’s back to dealing with Clyde Weston, not to mention the nonsense surrounding Johnny’s one-night stand with Joy and Ej’s manipulations.
There is a bright spot, though. Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 12-09-24 promise a trip down memory lane for Steve and Kayla, some more of Hope before she leaves, and a possible reason for Shawn to stay permanently.

British royal family news asks, can you name the current senior royal who has a criminal record? If you guessed Princess Anne, give yourself a pat on the back. Anne is a celebrated b*****, a woman who foiled her own kidnapping and is known as the hardest working royal. So, in a twisted way, it makes sense that it would be salty Anne who got in trouble with the law.
Craig Brown’s new biography of Queen Elizabeth II, Q: A Voyage Around The Queen, reveals the story of Anne’s illegality, and we’re here for it.

Canines have been as much a part of the royal history as barbeques at Balmoral and Christmas pranks. The late Queen Elizabeth was known for her love of Corgis, and her daughter Anne inherited her mother’s love of pups.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has recently become a rather controversial star in the spotlight. With his recent arrest on alleged racketeering and s*x trafficking charges, all his close friends and loyal fans have now abandoned the sinking ship. While thinking of the 54-year-old might only lead fans down a rabbit hole of fake tunnels, “freak offs” and various conspiracies, the music mogul was once posterized by a former professional basketball player, Chase Budinger.

A United Nations Foundation grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa.
Inspired by sports columnist Rick Reilly, hundreds of thousands of people have joined the campaign that was created by the United Nations Foundation in 2006. Campaign partners include the National Basketball Association’s NBA Cares, The people of The United Methodist Church, and Major League Soccer’s Mls W.O.R.K.S.
In the poorest parts of the world, where effective window screens are lacking, insecticide-treated bed nets are arguably the most cost-effective way to prevent malaria transmission. One bed net costs just $10 to buy and deliver to individuals in need. One bed net can safely last a family for about four years, thanks to a long-lasting insecticide woven into the net fabric.

The Deliverance. Mo’Nique as Cynthia Henry in The Deliverance. cr. Aaron Ricketts/Netflix © 2024. The Deliverance directed by Lee Daniels delves into the well-traveled realm of exorcism horror, producing a skillfully crafted movie that provides a few genuine scares but ultimately fails to establish new ground. The movie centers on the Bliss family as they battle a demonic force that has taken a hold of Caleb, their young son. The way that Mo’Nique plays the resolute mother Ebony stands out because it gives emotional nuance to a part that could have easily been formulaic. Unquestionably powerful, the exorcism sequences use eerie sound design and imagery to evoke a real sense of dread. But the movie can’t really stand out in the genre because of its reliance on well-known cliches and predictable story aspects. Even while the technical aspects and acting are excellent, the storyline feels a little predictable and doesn’t provide many surprises.

Without music, life would be a mistake. —Friedrich NietzscheIllustration by Ivana Milos.Sometimes during a film, a fleeting moment occurs onscreen that changes everything, and you wonder whether you’ve really seen what you think you have. It was too short, too violent, too beautiful. You didn’t quite understand it, but you felt it. Was it just a dream? Whenever I encounter such moments, I understand something about the way time escapes the grasp of our perception. As my mind lingers on the shot I have just seen, the film moves on. For a second, everything seems unchanged, as if I just imagined this moment. But then I see that the film itself starts to move differently, its colors change, the light has a different taste to it, or the voices of the protagonists seem softer. It becomes clear that something has occurred that has changed everything. This can be a uniquely personal encounter,...

Glen Powells $220M Rom-Com Fulfills The Secret Emma Stone Movie Trilogy You May Not Have Known About
Anyone But You references director Will Gluck's previous rom-com, Easy A. Emma Stone's character Olive Penderghast features in three of Gluck's rom-coms - Easy A, Friends with Benefits, and Anyone But You. Stone's involvement in Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things may have prevented her from having a cameo in Anyone But You like she had in Friends with Benefits.
Anyone But You fulfills a covert rom-com trilogy by sneaking in a subtle reference to a character Emma Stone played early in her career. The popular romance film is, in fact, chock-full of references, most being towards Shakespeare's 16th-century play "Much Ado About Nothing," from which Anyone But You is loosely inspired. Anyone But You's rough remake of the comedic play features Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell as Beatrice and Ben, respectively, two rivaling singles who pretend to be in a relationship to appease their loved ones and stick it to their exes.

No one can certainly blame him for feeling the way that he does. There’s some speculation on social media that suggests King Charles doesn’t approve of Archie and Lilibet’s American accents.
Royal Family News – King Charles Doesn’t Approve Of Archie And Lilibet’s American Accents
But sadly, there’s not much that he can do about it. Seeing how the two young royals live in California with their parents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, they were going to develop an American accent just by living there.
But for King Charles, they are still members of the British royal family. He would have liked for them to grow up with not only British accents, but he would also like to see them speak the Queen’s English as well.
Yet, there’s a very good chance that’s never going to happen, especially if Meghan Markle has something to do with it.

The Academy Awards, more popularly known as the Oscars, are one of the most prestigious awards an artist can win during their career. The statuette makes for a fine addition to one’s collection since it represents the pinnacle of cinema, and artists vie to get their hands on one.
Given its rich history, the trophy is truly priceless. However, it might shock readers to know that the statuette does indeed come with a baffling price tag of just $1.
How did the Oscar statuette come to be?
In 1927, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established. One of the major goals of the then-fledgling body was to acknowledge and honor excellence in all aspects of filmmaking. The Oscars were first held in 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Since then, it has become one of the most highly regarded awards worldwide.

With Oscar season on the horizon, many looked back on one of the ceremony’s most memorable moments, which was the Oscars Selfie that talk show host Ellen DeGeneres took in 2014. The selfie featured A-listers such as Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep, Changing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence, Jared Leto, and Lupita Nyong’o. It was often regarded as one of the most memorable selfies ever taken.

However, ever since the selfie was taken, the lives of these A-listers seem to have gone off the rails. A recent article by the New York Post opined that the ‘Oscar Selfie Curse’ was a real thing and that most of the actors present in the selfie have either been canceled, faced career setbacks, or have had disastrous personal lives. Fans, however, are annoyed with this narrative and are not buying into the Oscar Curse.

On Tuesday, March 5, Foo Fighters will take a rare detour from stadium, arena and amphitheater stages to perform at a private, one-night-only concert in Washington, D.C. hosted by Power to the Patients, a non-profit fighting for a more affordable, accessible, and equitable healthcare system through true price transparency.
Find out more about the concert here.
Hip hop legends Fat Joe and Chuck D will also be in attendance.
“When we were asked by Power to the Patients to help raise awareness of the need for transparency in healthcare pricing, we immediately said yes. People suffering from illness and injury shouldn’t have to worry about being bankrupted by surprise charges for their treatment.” — Foo Fighters
With lawmakers, government officials, and their dedicated staff in attendance, Foo Fighters will join the drive to raise awareness about the inequality and uncertainty created for millions of patients when hospitals and insurers hide actual upfront prices.

David Gordon Green's 2018 slasher film "Halloween," a direct sequel to John Carpenter's 1978 slasher film also called "Halloween," famously ignored the nine "Halloween" sequels and remakes made from 1981 to 2009. The original film starred Jamie Lee Curtis as a teenage babysitter named Laurie Strode who ran afoul of a mysterious, silent masked killer named Michael Myers. In the original "Halloween II," it was revealed that Laurie was Michael's long-lost sister, a conceit Green would handily abandon for his 2018 update. Instead, Laurie was, 40 years later, still wounded by the events of the 1978 film, and had become a ragged survivalist, outfitting her home with booby traps and training herself how to use weapons in the off chance that Michael should ever escape the local mental institution and begin his killing spree again. Perhaps predictably, that very thing happens.
Green's "Halloween" ends with Laurie trapping Michael in a burning building, seemingly to die forever.
