As a die-hard film fan, I always believed the Harry Potter films catapulted Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson into stardom, making them familiar names in every household. However, it seems that even four movies deep into the series, not everyone recognized Emma Watson’s name – including her co-star, Robert Pattinson.
Following a triumphant first season, Netflix’s “XO, Kitty” has been confirmed to make its comeback as part of the 2025 TV lineup. A spinoff of the beloved romantic comedy series “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before”, this young-adult dramedy focuses on Kitty (Anna Cathcart), as she adapts to life in South Korea and navigates school, relationships, and uncovering secrets about her mother’s past. Excitingly, with Season 2 on the horizon, all our favorite characters are expected to return, and it has been revealed that a popular figure from the original films will also be joining in!
Every time I visit Disney World, there’s always something fresh and exciting to experience, but each new attraction comes at a cost. It’s not just the attractions, though; Disney World has numerous expenses to manage. During their quarterly earnings calls, Disney reveals how much their Experiences division earns and spends in a single quarter. However, those figures can be hard to grasp due to their sheer magnitude. The financial details of WDW itself – how much it generates or the cost to run it – are less transparent. It’s fascinating to ponder just how many large payments Disney World must make to keep everything running smoothly. Frankly, the scale of those expenses leaves me astonished.
A fresh trailer for the imminent movie titled “Black Bag” features Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender engaged in a game of espionage. This film, helmed by Steven Soderbergh, is inspired by the actual events surrounding celebrated intelligence operatives George Woodhouse and his wife Kathryn.
The feedback for “Mufasa: The Lion King” has been collected, and so far, the response from critics has been varied. Although the concept of a prequel to “The Lion King” initially seemed like a money-grabbing attempt to expand the franchise, when Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins was appointed as director, it sparked anticipation about what the film might become. It was expected that “Mufasa: The Lion King” would dominate the holiday box office, but it’s now facing stiff competition from “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.” Disney had hoped that positive critical reviews for “Mufasa” would generate excitement during the holidays, and while it didn’t turn out to be a complete flop, it hasn’t been a resounding success either.
