In the changing world of action movies, the last ten years have brought exciting changes. Films like John Wick have raised the bar with amazing fight scenes and stunts. At the same time, superhero movies have drawn in viewers with their incredible visuals and epic stories. However, Novocaine, a new action comedy featuring Jack Quaid, stands out by mixing exciting action with a touching message. This fresh approach is sure to resonate with fans of the genre.

“Be Happy” starring Abhishek Bachchan and Nora Fatehi tries to spin a warm tale of dreams, dance and determination but falls flat due to its poor execution. The premise is good but the film doesn’t go into the emotional lives of the characters instead it prioritizes dance sequences and competition like a reality show.

In the latest episode of Reacher the stakes are higher than ever as Jack Reacher is on the run after his cover is blown. The series is three seasons in and it’s doing a great job of building tension and showing Reacher can get out of danger without just using brute force. This episode is titled “Smoke on the Water” and it’s action, character and emotional. It’s a highlight of the series.

Big news! Netflix has dropped the trailer for the fifth and final season of You and it’s Joe Goldberg time again! Penn Badgley is back as the enigmatic Joe and the trailer shows him returning to New York City where he’s a notorious figure that the city never forgets.

The long awaited film “Galatea” has dropped a poster and it’s looking great! This sci-fi drama is set in a near future South Korea where human-like AIs coexist with humans, and explores the complexities and ethics of such a society.

Good news for Kdrama fans! Choi Woo-shik who starred in the Oscar winning film Parasite is now the lead in a new Netflix series that’s getting so popular. Netflix has a wide range of international content but their Korean content has been doing so well globally. In fact Squid Game season 1 is the most watched season of any show on the platform across all languages and season 2 is 3rd only behind Wednesday season 1. Other popular Korean shows are All of Us Are Dead and Hellbound.

Season 3 of Reacher based on Lee Child’s 2003 novel Persuader dropped on Prime Video on February 20, 2025 and is already hooked us with its action, suspense and intricate storytelling. Episode 3 titled “Number 2 with a Bullet” is a turning point in the story and gets Jack Reacher deeper into Zachary Beck’s criminal empire.

Jack Reacher, the tough ex military guy, finds himself in a different kind of fight in Season 3, Episode 3. Instead of facing off against soldiers or mercenaries he’s facing off against bullies. A scenario that really speaks to his own childhood experiences. The episode starts with Reacher working undercover as a security guard for Zachary Beck and he’s been tasked with taking Beck’s son Richard into town.

Fans are super hyped for Tom Holland to swing back into the Marvel universe as Spider-Man—and guess what? There’s an update on Spider-Man 4!
