Samuel L. Jackson made a 92%-rated sci-fi mystery, and almost nobody talks about it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Samuel L. Jackson has played almost every kind of character during his long career. But 2022's The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey gave him a role that audiences rarely get to see him play. The six-episode Apple TV series stars Jackson as the titular Ptolemy Grey, a 91-year-old man whose dementia has left him struggling to remember his life. When his nephew Reggie (Omar Benson Miller) is killed, Ptolemy is left without the person who had been looking after him. Fortunately, Ptolemy's situation changes
28 years later, the sequel to a 1998 box-office flop is now No. 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Practical Magic was released in October 1998, there was little reason to expect the story of the Owens sisters to continue almost three decades later. Despite the star power of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, and its $94.4 million global box office earnings, the film never felt like an obvious franchise starter.

The US version of The Office followed in 2005 and eventually ran for nine seasons on NBC. While the Britis
5 horror movies to scratch the Resident Evil itch while you wait (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Resident Evil started as a video game before becoming a movie franchise. The original 1996 video game focused on a group of characters trapped in the mysterious Spencer Mansion while all hell broke loose. Later games expanded the series into outbreaks, biological experiments, and monsters, turning it into a more action-heavy survival horror. The first Resident Evil movie hit screens in 2002 and took some of those ideas in a different direction, eventually becoming its own franchise. With a new R
Star Wars keeps getting bigger, but The Mandalorian and Grogu work because it doesn't (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Star Wars has spent decades making its universe bigger. Every show/movie introduces more planets, more factions, crime families, and political conflicts than most people could reasonably keep track of. That's part of what makes the stories so much fun, but it can also make some entries feel like homework. By creating an account, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
