After the debut of the first “Despicable Me” film in 2010, it wasn’t long before this Universal Pictures and Illumination project became one of the most beloved animated franchises. As we stand 14 years later, six films make up the “Despicable Me” movie series, including two spinoffs featuring the Minions, and now it holds the title as the highest-grossing animated franchise in history. Given its immense popularity, it’s natural to ponder if we might someday see a live-action adaptation of the Minions. Director Chris Renaud has straightforwardly addressed this question, and I share his view.

In an unexpected turn of events, “Tracker” is proceeding with its second season without one of its key characters, Robin Weigert. This means that Teddi Bruin will no longer be a permanent character on the show. However, Velma (Abby McEnany), Teddi’s wife, will still be part of the cast. This decision could create an uneasy atmosphere in the second season and leave Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) without one of his associates.

A fresh anime titled “Rick and Morty: The Anime” has arrived on Adult Swim for Max subscribers, featuring a band of characters you’d probably recognize well. Unlike the original critically-acclaimed Rick and Morty, which TopMob rates as one of the best animated shows ever made, this spinoff is taking the series in an entirely new direction – one that I’m genuinely enjoying! Contrary to what some might expect, this departure from the original isn’t a negative change, but rather a refreshing twist on an acclaimed show.

It’s clear now that Lionsgate’s release of Borderlands has turned into an unprecedented catastrophe. From the get-go, the initial responses pointed towards a lackluster film, criticizing it for being lifeless, uninteresting, and yet another failed attempt to adapt a video game. The movie’s poor reception was confirmed by its 9% rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and things didn’t improve much during its opening weekend.

As a fervent movie critic, I eagerly anticipate diving into the gritty world of “Daredevil: Born Again” – a title reminiscent of the acclaimed comic book by Frank Miller. This upcoming series marks a long-awaited solo venture for Matt Murdock (portrayed by Charlie Cox), who first graced our screens in the Marvel/Netflix series “Daredevil” back in 2015.
