In October, there’s an influx of horror movies, but many aren’t suitable for the entire family. However, the movie titled “Monster Summer” fills this gap perfectly. Boasting a strong cast, it offers a light-hearted throwback to the days of Steven Spielberg and his Amblin Entertainment, reminiscent of films like “Hocus Pocus.“. This isn’t the film for horror enthusiasts yearning for genuine jump scares and gore (for that, there’s “Terrifier 3” and “Smile 2“); instead, it’s a perfect choice for anyone or families who want to embrace the Halloween vibe this month without encountering any nightmares.

It’s not a secret that I hate binge-watching, but every once in a while, I fall victim to the modern way of watching television. I didn’t expect any show premiering on the 2024 TV Schedule to keep me captive to my couch for four and a half hours, but then Netflix’s Nobody Wants This happened. The romantic comedy series stars teen soap alumni Kirsten Bell and Adam Brody as agnostic sex podcaster Joanne and recently single rabbi Noah, who are determined to make their budding relationship work despite coming from different worlds.

Despite being one of the most critically panned adaptations from the past decade, the 2022 release of this remake has unexpectedly climbed up Netflix’s top five films list. Initially showing promise, the reboot failed to ignite much interest among critics or audiences at the box office.

A pair of IP-based projects at Amazon aren’t moving forward after several years of development.

Among the eagerly anticipated Stephen King movie adaptations, I’m particularly looking forward to Edgar Wright’s reimagining of “The Running Man.” This ’80s action flick made for a gripping watch, and I share Glen Powell’s enthusiasm about his role in it. With production now underway, the film has been confirmed as a 2025 release, slated for November 21, 2025. However, what really gets me pumped is the recent addition to the cast.
