In a 2023 interview, Liam Neeson, who played Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jin in The Phantom Menace, chalked up his disillusionment with the ever-expanding number of Star Wars offshoots to their insistence on contorting themselves to the confines of television. ​“I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to TV,” the actor admitted. ​“I just like the big screen, you know?” Amusingly, Neeson had in fact returned for a two-line performance in the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series finale just a year prior to these remarks, but there is some truth to the actor’s comment that the average Star Wars title may no longer hold the sort of cultural cache…

To the best of my knowledge, there is now no way to see every title available in Netflix’s streaming library.Until last week, browsing Netflix’s entire catalog was still possible, at least on a desktop web browser. You’d click “Movies” or “TV Shows” in the main menu, and then choose a genre from the options on the landing page. Within each genre, there was an option to switch to “Grid View,” instead of Netflix’s standard display of rows of titles grouped into categories based on sub-genres and users’ viewing habits.Grid view showed users every single title grouped under each genre — and also offered the option to sort those titles either A to…

Every year, a new popular anime dominates the entertainment landscape and finds itself on the watchlist of every fan. In 2020, it was Jujutsu Kaisen; in 2023, it was Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End; and in 2025, it was Solo Leveling Season 2. While the first season was equally as popular, the second season ramped up the action, intrigue, and animation, making it a must-watch action anime of this decade and in general. However, despite its overwhelming popularity, there are countless shows that match or even exceed Solo Leveling’s admittedly high levels. This is why this list will rank action anime…

Anime fans in 2026 are already eating well with multiple anticipated returns coming and going, including Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 and glorious resurgences of the Isekai Big Three.

The camera holds mother and daughter in a long shot outside Holborn station, tracking Hortense as she paces past Cynthia without recognition. Then to an uninterrupted take in a café, the women sat side-by-side, eyes moving everywhere except to each other. Cynthia says she cannot be her mother because she never slept with a Black man, before an overwhelming look of recognition comes over her and she starts to weep. We never do find out who that man was – ​“Oh, don’t break my ​‘eart, darlin’” she whines…

Cutscene are part of the new wave of moody, poetic guitar bands flourishing across the UK and Ireland. Raised in the North East of England and now based in Manchester, the band channel lived experience into emotionally textured, evolving rock compositions.Their sound sits comfortably alongside the era’s most compelling alternative acts — blending shimmering reverbs, anxious vocal delivery, and discordant guitar swells. There’s a distinct sense of atmosphere in their work: uneasy but not overwrought, reflective without becoming indulgent.“Concrete Line” unfolds in three loosely connected vignettes, each capturing a different shade of small-town inertia. The opening is euphoric yet restless —…

There was something about cars in the 1970s — they weren’t just something you drove to get from here to there, you were the car. Before everything started to blur together, style- and design-wise, your car said exactly who you were because it served a purpose, not who you wanted to be. The guy with the Boattail Riviera? Well, he wasn’t the same as the woman in the wood-paneled wagon. Those vehicles had different purposes.How ’70s Cars Stood Apart Before the ’80s Changed Everything1970s cars in San Francisco in 1978.A parade of ’70s beauties in San Francisco c. 1978. (Getty…

The history of film dates back to 1888, although the supposed starting point of Louis Le Prince’s Roundhay Garden Scene is debated by some. Nevertheless, there is no debating how impressively extensive cinema’s 137-year catalog is, with technological advancements and improvements in film-specific storytelling helping to enhance its quality. Among this long history of cinema are a select few gems that have done the unthinkable and proved universally popular. Given the rise of social media and the ability for any viewer to share their opinion with the world, for a film to avoid negativity and find its place in the…
