Microsoft is exiting the market for selling and renting TV and movies across its platforms. There was no reason given for the abrupt change, with Microsoft simply posting the news on a support page on its Xbox website. "Microsoft has stopped selling new movie and TV content. Existing customers can continue to access their previously purchased content on Windows and Xbox devices," Microsoft said in the post. The company said playback and download options will continue to be available for shows

Microsoft unceremoniously kills off the Xbox Movies & TV store

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-18 22:15:54

You can longer rent or buy TV shows or movies, but you won’t lose any of your purchases. Microsoft has rather abruptly closed down its Movies & TV app, which is accessible on Xbox and Windows PCs via the Microsoft Store. This allowed people to rent or buy movies or TV shows natively through their console or computer’s storefront, but in a newly updated support page Microsoft said the service has ended. "Microsoft no longer offers new entertainment content for purchase, including movies and TV

Watching ‘X-Men’ 25 Years Ago Was a Game-Changing Moment

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-27 18:00:12

It’s hard to describe what it was like to sit down, 25 years ago today, to watch X-Men. I was born in 1980 and grew up loving and adoring superheroes. The Christopher Reeve Superman movies were everything to me. Posters and toys for Tim Burton’s Batman films were all over my room. And each week, I’d go to the local comic book shop to pick up new issues of X-Men, X-Force, X-O Manowar, Spawn, and so many others. The 1990s in particular were a golden age for comic books, but on the big screen, ther

Legendary Entertainment May Have Lionsgate in Its Acquisition Sights

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-07-29 02:15:27

Studios have been threatening to acquire each other the past couple years, and now it seems to be Legendary Entertainment’s turn. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio behind recent hits like A Minecraft Movie and the Dune trilogy is potentially snatching up Lionsgate, best known for the John Wick and Hunger Games series. At the moment, the two companies are considering a team up on some films, and if things go well, that’ll blossom into a “more complete offer.” There weren’t any spec

I’m Rewatching the Jurassic Park Movies to Get in the Mood for Jurassic World: Rebirth. Here’s Where You Can Binge the Whole Franchise

I first encountered Jurassic Park one fateful day during middle school when my teacher rolled in a cart topped with a CRT television, popped in a VHS tape of Jurassic Park and pressed play. I was instantly hooked and I've since watched the film countless times, including a 2013 trip to see the movie in 3D on the big screen at my AMC theater. Jurassic World: Rebirth hit cinemas on July 2 and I've been rewatching the entire series to get in the mood. With run times ranging from 1 hour and 32 minu

Don't cancel Netflix yet: I used these secret codes to unlock shows I didn't know existed

How to Watch All the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movies

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-11 10:00:00

It's been almost 30 years since Mission: Impossible hit cinemas in 1996 as an adaptation of the 1966 television series of the same name. The Brian De Palma-directed film starring Tom Cruise was a critical success and kickstarted a franchise that remains so successful that MI movies are still being released more than two decades later. When the first movie came out, I was extremely excited to see it and borrowed the VHS tape from a neighbor. Flash-forward to 2000, and I made it my mission to see

‘Fast & Furious’ Couldn’t Keep Driving Like This

Every franchise, if allowed to go on long enough, hits a wall sooner or later. Nothing lasts forever, as they say, and we’ve seen this eventuality come sooner or later in different flavors. But not many have hit the wall quite like Fast & Furious. One of the biggest, stupidest Hollywood franchises around is now slated to end its main run of movies in April 2027 with Fast XI. It’s an end that can’t come soon enough, honestly. Fast X’s biggest crime wasn’t being half a movie—though of summer 2023

The most recent James Bond movie, No Time to Die, had an ending unlike any its predecessors and opened the way to a whole new approach to the cinematic powerhouse — including, at some point soon, a new James Bond. The film wrapped up Daniel Craig's days as 007, and speculation is running hot about what lies ahead for Ian Fleming's superspy. The latest twist in the spy saga is this: Amazon MGM Studios is gaining creative control of the Bond franchise in a new arrangement with longtime Bond legac

Netflix's 'Leaving Soon' Label Is Enough to Give Some Very Random Titles a Major Boost

cnet.com Liz Kocan 2025-06-02 02:00:08

Every week, Netflix reveals its Top 10 lists, ranking its most-viewed movies and TV shows. While many of these top titles are expected, others can surprise; here's where we try to make sense of those seemingly random hits. "I read this post on Reddit" is always a risky way to start a conversation, but here I go… I recently saw a Reddit thread from a few years ago where a poster suggested that Netflix create an entire category on its homepage to showcase content that's leaving the platform soon.

Tubi Is Not the Next Netflix. It’s Something Better

Here’s a fun tidbit to toss out at your next dinner party: Tubi is home to the biggest content library of all the streamers. That’s right, the one-time underdog of streaming now claims it has more content than Netflix. Tubi has over 275,000 titles from every era and genre of film and television. At least, that's what the company says; it’s nearly impossible to verify given the library’s size. Offerings span cult classics (Cooley High), ’90s heist movies (The Thomas Crown Affair), and everything
