Movies: Space/Time (2026) by Michael O’Halloran: When scientific ambition loses institutional trust, time itself becomes the last bargaining chip top of pagebottom of page

There’s that old expression: Dance with the one that brought you. In other words, when you succeed, remain loyal to those who supported you, and got you to that lofty perch in the first place. But in Hollywood, there’s another old expression: It’s show business, not show friendship.Need proof? Check out this list of ten major franchises that cut ties with their heroes — and sometimes their entire casts — to focus on new protagonists. The reasons why vary from series to series, and we’ll explore them below, but they do ultimately come back around to the old expressions above: When budgets get…

Hamnet has won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama, taking one of the night’s biggest awards after a season where the category never fully settled around a single frontrunner. It was a race defined less by inevitability than by debate, and the Globes ultimately sided with the film that left the strongest overall impression rather than the loudest one. This year’s Best Motion Picture – Drama nominees represented six very different approaches to serious filmmaking. Hamnet was intimate and restrained, built around grief, absence, and emotional quiet. Other nominees like Frankenstein carried the weight of a classic…

While Boruto Uzumaki was certainly born with potential for greatness, it’s impressive just the extent of his power by Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. The Naruto sequel manga has featured Boruto’s troubled return to a Konoha that has branded him a traitor who allegedly killed the Seventh Hokage, but this hasn’t stopped Boruto from showing innately Hokage-like qualities. As the grandson of Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Boruto is bound to be weighed against his predecessors. While not wholly the same type of ninja as Minato, or even as his father, Naruto, Boruto has incorporated each of their teachings alongside his own…

The brutal gauntlet known as “awards season” lumbers toward its combustible conclusion at this year‘s Golden Globes, the extremely glamorous (and moderately prestigious) ceremony honoring the year’s greatest works and artists in the fields of film, television, and for some reason now, podcasts.Here are the full list of Golden Globes for 2025. The winners will be announced live on Sunday January 11 at 8PM ET (5 PM PT) on CBS.

Some of the greatest ballads of all time are rock ballads, which offer a slower pace and more sentimental tone than the typical rock song. Think Queen’s “Love of My Life,” Jethro Tull’s “Wond’ring Aloud,” Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song,” Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Tuesday’s Gone with the Wind,” The Beatles’ “Yesterday,” or John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” is another big one, and these all are great enough to be on anyone’s top ten list. Also note that the songs shown below are going to be coming from the era of classic rock, so power ballads such as Metallica’s “Nothing Else…

Few games have been able to scratch the same itch as Hogwarts Legacy, but it’s far from the first RPG out there to capitalize on the desire to create your own personalized magical school experience. Offering its own magical world combined with gameplay inspired by both Final Fantasy and Pokémon alike, there’s one classic social game that has already paved the way years ago for a multiplayer wizarding experience. While Steam has no shortage of free games added each month, some of the best offerings have been around for so long that they’ve become largely forgotten despite their initial popularity.…

This is a film about what it means to have children and the pulverising consequences that come from potentially losing them before they have had time to thrive. In terms of emotional trigger points and failsafe methods to make a cinema audience sob, the premature death of a child is equivalent to holding four aces – a surefire victory on those dark terms. In her new film Hamnet, the filmmaker Chloé Zhao does not soft-pedal the realities of dealing with infant mortality, though nor does she lean on maudlin sentiment or shy away from the fact that the darkest moments in life call for…
