The upcoming Watchmen television series has announced its premiere date, and we’ve got two observations. First, the show is premiering even sooner than we’d hoped. And secondly, the announcement was made in the coolest way possible. Fans of the esteemed graphic novel know the symbolism of the Doomsday Clock. Its imagery features throughout the series,...
Like practically every other actor in Hollywood, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But unlike most other stars, Harington’s previous acting experience makes him uniquely suited for his superhero role. The Jon Snow actor will portray the character Dane Whitman, AKA the Black Knight, in next year’s ensemble superhero...
Cobra Kai, the sequel series to ’80s martial arts classic The Karate Kid, has been stuck behind a paywall for YouTube’s subscription service, YouTube Premium, since its debut last year. But no more, as the show’s subscription requirement is getting crane kicked to the curb. YouTube has dropped the paywall for the first season of the...

In the new trailer for Night Hunter, Cavill stars as a police detective who teams with an armchair detective played by Sir Ben Kingsley to take...
A new trailer has been released for Rambo V: Last Blood, and it leans pretty heavily into Stallone’s iconic ’80s renditions of the character. Not that we’re complaining. The trailer begins with some familiar narration. It’s Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna) from First Blood, warning Sheriff Teasle (Brian Dennehy) that Rambo is an expert in guns,...
Out of Chevy Chase’s career repertoire, Fletch sometimes gets overshadowed by the actor’s better-known hits such as Caddyshack, Three Amigos, and the National Lampoon’s Vacation series. That’s a shame because the 1985 flick about a heroic (and sarcastic) investigative journalist is a great action-comedy that deserves more respect. And one big star agrees with that...
