Movies

Frequently, what lifts our spirits when we’re having a tough day is a great movie, and streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video make it effortless to find one with their vast selection. However, this convenience comes with a catch: deciding which film to watch among the numerous new releases across different platforms every month can be challenging. To ease your decision-making process, we’ve put together an all-encompassing guide that lists every movie available on popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, Hulu, Disney+, and others in November 2024.

While the exact origins of the idea of superheroes are widely debated, it’s known that, in the USA, they became particularly popular from the 1930s onward with the advent of comic books. Superheroes were a prime feature of these comic books, with people using the medium to escape reality, indulging in their wildest fantasies. To varying degrees, comedy played a big part in those early comic books. The early adaptations of these superhero comics for TV and film continued this comedic theme (look at the early Adam West Batman series as an example).

In the making and production of the 1980 horror film “Friday the 13th”, neither the cast nor the crew, under the guidance of director and producer Sean S. Cunningham, anticipated that it would become a blockbuster hit, let alone spawn a long-running series centered around Jason Voorhees, who they initially believed to be deceased. Contrary to popular belief, the main antagonist in “Friday the 13th” was not Jason himself, but his vengeful, grieving mother, Pamela Voorhees (also known as Mrs. Voorhees), a mentally unstable figure seeking revenge for the presumed 1957 drowning death of her son which she attributed to negligent camp counselors at Camp Crystal Lake. The makers of “Friday the 13th” saw Jason more as a victim than a villain.

The humor-filled films by this creator have varied from exceptional to disappointing, and one of the latter, as criticized initially, is currently enjoying unprecedented popularity following its addition to Hulu. Released in 2010, it was a blockbuster at the box office but didn’t garner the same appreciation in reviews. Notwithstanding the mixed reception, this movie has found a new fanbase upon its introduction on a fresh streaming service.

In recent times, WWE has managed to steer clear of the frequent dismissals of talent that were commonplace earlier. However, given the abundance of gifted individuals on the roster, it’s only natural that some will be let go. Thus, it was announced on Friday that the company plans to sever ties with Baron Corbin and other stars, a move that Corbin himself verified through his social media posts. As fans express their sympathies, more insights are emerging about how he truly felt during his tenure with the company.
