In the 10 years since releasing its first original film, Beasts of No Nation, Netflix has evolved into a power player in the movie scene. It's earned honors at award shows including the Oscars, Golden Globes and Emmys. The streaming giant won three Oscars in 2025, and action-thriller Rebel Ridge just nabbed an Emmy Award this week for Best TV Movie (the sentimental Vince Vaughn comedy Nonnas was nominated in the same category and is worth a watch, too).

‘Him’ Is Filled With Great, Creepy Ideas, But Never Quite Brings It All Home

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-19 19:00:06

Usually, there are sports movies and there are horror movies, and the two don’t really cross over. In Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask, but he doesn’t take a slap shot. A killer might swing a baseball bat, but they aren’t stepping up to the plate. Him, the new film from Justin Tipping, is one of the first, and maybe biggest, films to ever blend horror and sports, which, just for that, is worth being excited about. The film uses the violence of football, as well as the hero wor

A new Megalopolis documentary reveals why it turned out like that

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-09-19 19:00:00

It’s been almost exactly a year since I first saw Megalopolis, and the last 12 months haven’t been kind to Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic. It mostly bewildered critics and audiences, earned back just a fraction of its $120 million budget, and still isn’t easily accessible via streaming or a Blu-ray release. Megalopolis is a film that the Godfather director had been thinking about for decades before the cameras started rolling, and that post-release chaos is nothing compared to what a

Sony Pictures has dropped a trailer for its upcoming horror comedy, Anaconda, a meta-reboot of the 1997 campy cult classic—and frankly, it looks like a lot of fun. Starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black, the film will arrive in theaters on Christmas Day. (Spoilers for the 1997 film below.) The original Anaconda was your basic B-movie creature feature, only with an all-star cast and better production values.

‘Chain Reactions’ Deftly Contextualizes a Grisly American Classic

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-23 15:40:00

As Hollywood scraps over who’ll be the next to take a bite out of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a new documentary is here to remind us just how much Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original stands alone. Chain Reactions follows the elegant, thoughtful style of director Alexandre O. Philippe’s earlier film-centric docs, including 78/52 (about the shower scene in Psycho), Memory: The Origins of Alien, Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist, and Lynch/Oz.

The Japanese landscapes that inspired Studio Ghibli films

As Studio Ghibli turns 40, we visit the forests, springs and villages that inspired its most beloved films, and meet those preserving their magic. From moss-draped cedar forests to steamy bathhouses and suburban woodlands, the animated worlds of Studio Ghibli often feel fantastical yet familiar. Across 23 feature films, the Japanese studio's vividly drawn landscapes – where kurosuke (soot sprites) scuttle and giant cat-buses roam – have transported generations of viewers into realms where natur

Per the Hollywood Reporter, the film—the first of a trilogy meant to bring the shonen fantasy series to a close—made an estimated $70 million domestic, double the $35-40 million predicted by analysts. But Sony’s been aggressive with marketing it, not to mention the anime itself is pretty popular on its own. It’s the biggest opening ever for an anime film in North America, the

Well, I was wrong, and I did manage to make it to one last day at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Whereas that film was a reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, Scarlet is a twist on Hamlet that’s full of bold, creative ideas.

Some of the most urgent films at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival aren’t here to soothe.
