Adam Symchuk — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 02:00:32 GMT

While summer is generally the time for outside activities, I always find myself spending a lot of time streaming movies and TV as well. It's a great way to recharge the battery after time in the sun and socializing. Movies are my go-to, but during these months, I find myself wanting to catch up with some miniseries. They're self-contained, easy to plow through, and you get the benefit of watching pristine TV you can recommend to others, like I'm doing here.

Bill Dubiel — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 01:15:18 GMT

Kane Parsons' runaway horror hit Backrooms is certainly loaded with unanswered questions, which is a defining trait of the unknowable labyrinth of humming fluorescent lights and sickly yellow interior. The box office smash never even attempts to address concepts as big as the origin of the Backrooms, also referred to as the Complex. The audience is introduced to the Backrooms via the movie's two primary characters, but we only ever get their perspectives and interpretations of how the Backrooms work.

'Blair Witch' Star Who Abandoned Hollywood Breaks Silence on New Remake

Patrick Cavanaugh — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:54:41 GMT

When one of your earliest roles becomes a massive success, it can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, there's short-term attention and excitement, but on the other hand, it can be difficult to break free from the project that launched your career. Even an actor like Anthony Perkins, who captivated audiences with his depiction of Norman Bates in Psycho, had a difficult time breaking free from the stereotype of a nervous and sinister figure, despite his immense talent. Making things more complicated is when a key component of a breakout role is connected to the story's authenticity.

Netflix just delivered one of the best action thriller series in years, but very few people in the US have noticed. But, despite the show's lackluster reception on Western shores, the series has earned a place as one of the streamer's biggest shows of the year thanks to a fantastic global streaming debut. Based on a popular webtoon, the new Korean action series blends tropes from delinquent dramas with fantastic fight choreography and a protagonist more suave than James Bond and Bruce Wayne put together. What more could you want? After just one week on streaming, it's already a global hit.

Curry Barker's Obsessionhas quickly become an iconic horror movie, and audiences are sharing their theories about the film all over the internet.

Netflix's 'The Night Agent' Officially Sets Return of Original Star for Season 4

Patrick Cavanaugh — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 23:36:17 GMT

Based on Matthew Quirk’s novel of the same name, Netflix's The Night Agent has quietly become one of the streamer's more popular titles. It's not that much of a surprise that a complex spy thriller inspired by a successful book would be effective, but when the project has to compete for attention in a world where shows like Reacher, The Terminal List, or Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan exist, it's a crowded playing field. Additionally, while audiences have appreciated what star Gabriel Basso brings to the role, he doesn't have quite the same name recognition as Alan Ritchson, Chris Pratt, or John Krasinski.

The 10 Best MMA Movies of All Time, Ranked

Tim McClelland — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 21:00:19 GMT

In the world of action movies, nothing feels quite as satisfying as seeing brilliantly choreographed and shot fight sequences. Mixed Martial Arts, or MMA, films generally feature impeccable action. However, unlike many martial arts films, MMA movies are often more about the sport and the fighters who put everything on the line for glory. I specifically want to take a look at MMA movies that feature two distinct things.
