Movies being re-released is a new trend in Hollywood these days. And quite a few studios are getting in line to bring back their old gems for theatrical releases for the current audience. While it may have seemed fun for a while, things might get a bit out of hand soon.

Showings of old movies is not a new concept, with many theatres having shows of old movies from time to time. Similarly, the concept of drive-through or showings in the park is also not a new idea. But re-releasing movies by the studios is becoming a trend now.

Unless you've been living under a rock recently, you're aware that movie theaters have been in a tough spot for nearly half a decade now, if not longer. Various factors have contributed to this, of course -- everything from the Covid-19 pandemic to the economy itself contributing to higher prices for a night out at the movies (especially for a family). Yet perhaps the biggest point of contention for those not fully inducted into the church of moviegoing is that old chestnut coined by Jean-Paul Sartre: Hell is other people.
Due to being at the tail end of several decades' worth of manufacturers and big box stores pushing home theater technology, the average living room theater setup tends to rival most generic movie theater screens in terms of picture and sound quality, with the convenience of the setup already being in one's home, away from loud talking randos and teens on their bright smartphones,...

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of the most iconic fantasy series of all time. Being the adaptation of the beloved J. R. R. Tolkien book series of the same name, it brought something new during a time when the genre was already full of magic. On top of the excellent cast, the films have been regarded as masterpieces, featuring excellent cinematography and magnificent world-building.

Considering just how significant they were to the cinema, it is not surprising that they are still very much in demand, more than two decades after their release. Their fandom, although older, is just as active, and they are adding new members day by day.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is one of the few rare shows in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that does not get the spotlight it truly deserves. Seeing the rise of streaming content even within the franchise, there were many shows that came before an era and died just the same. Ming-Na Wen, best known for playing the one and only Cavalry, had quite a bit to say about the rise of streaming giants.

Given how great 2023 was for game releases, there are undoubtedly some games that you missed. Looking past the major releases like Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Starfield, and Resident Evil 4, there were many titles released within the AA and indie space that may have flown under your radar.

The finale of Sam Raimi’s trilogy has undoubtedly been one of the most divisive Spider-Man movies of all time. Therefore, due to the audience’s mixed reception, Sony Pictures assembled a Spider-Man 3 editor’s cut, for the home video. Alongside alternate takes, dialogue revisions, and other basic changes, the symbiote suit’s dark influence on Tobey Maguire, majorly added significance to the editor’s cut.

It’s hard to say if the fans have gotten over The Great Web trauma or not but they are still likely to be disappointed in Sony. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 publisher kept the cards close to their chest and canned the project which then saw outrage rise among the fans after its trailer was leaked on the internet. What could’ve been a multiversal game now appears lost to corporate affairs.
The trailer was leaked last month and fans realized they have been robbed of a dream. Modders are always up to something and now one video of Spider-Man 2 mod may add salt to the wounds of the ones that are yet to be healed.

Tom Holland is the current face of Spider-Man, although he stands on the shoulders of others who came before him, including Tobey Maguire. The actor is an integral part of the MCU, and he quickly became a favorite among comic book lovers. His natural athleticism allows him to pull off stunts very easily.
However, before Holland, Maguire performed his own stunts too. Back when he played the webbed superhero in Sam Raimi’s films, the actor filmed some of the most jaw-dropping scenes ever seen on the big screen. The BTS footage shows the work Maguire put in to execute them to perfection.

There were tons of cool scenes that were not included in the theatrical versions of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies, with J.K. Simmons wearing a Spider-Man suit probably the most notable of all the deleted ones. However, the director decided to include this in the extended cut of Spider-Man 2 (2004) so it’s not completely wasted.

Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker has become the definitive version of the character as it introduced the franchise to the world, but Simmons’ portrayal of J. Jonah Jameson was truly the most unforgettable.
Spider-Man 2 Deleted Scene Was J.K. Simmons’ Most Iconic Look
Many extended and new scenes were supplemented in the 2007 edition of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, commonly called as Spider-Man 2.1, and a major addition was J.K. Simmons dressed up as Spider-Man. Fans who saw the theatrical version may get confused as this scene...

Open-world games have become a common thing nowadays. This is evident from the fact that there are currently two major superhero games in development, and both of them are open-world. One of them is Marvel’s Iron Man, while the other is Black Panther. One of them is in development at EA Motive, while the other is being developed by EA’s Cliffhanger Games.
There’s no set release date for these games as of yet, but fans are already comparing them to other games in this category. One game that comes to mind is none other than Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which was launched by Insomniac Games back in 2023. Yet everyone knows that DC perfected open-world superhero games years ago.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 did not just have a ‘two’ in its name, it also gave players two Spider-Man’s to play with. That’s just one example of how much thought and effort the makers at Insomniac Studios put into making the game. And it did pay off. It turned out to be a critical and financial success when it launched in October 2023.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gave players the opportunity to web through Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens while making the two Spider-men Peter Parker and Miles Morale perform some aerobatics above New York’s skyscrapers. Besides, it brought in new suits and styles along with a range of accessibility options. It was splendid in every way, just as the makers envisioned it.

In 2015, Pixar's "Inside Out" introduced us to a wonderful ensemble of characters in the form of five core emotions inside the mind of an 11-year old girl named Riley. Joy (Amy Poehler) was the leader of the crew, trying to keep Riley happy all the time. Sadness (Phyllis Smith) was constantly stressing out Joy by making Riley feel down in the dumps. Anger (Lewis Black) came out when Riley just couldn't deal anymore, Fear (Bill Hader) made sure Riley kept herself safe, though sometimes irrationally scared, and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) ensured that she never ate broccoli or dealt with anything cringey that might upset her.
In "Inside Out 2," all the core emotions are comfortable in keeping Riley on the straight and narrow, complete with a new belief system and sense of self (more on that in our full footage reaction from our visit to Pixar Animation), even though...

The biggest set piece in the most recent live-action Spider-Man film, 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home," involves, through a series of multiversal shenanigans, Tom Holland's friendly neighborhood web-slinger teaming up with two other Spider-Men to fight Electro, Sandman, and the Lizard on the Statue of Liberty.
The biggest set piece in 2004's "Spider-Man 2" involves Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trying to stop a train full of innocent passengers from crashing.
By comparison, the train scene may seem almost quaint, but director Sam Raimi used it as an opportunity to combine then-state-of-the-art action filmmaking with genuine humanity and pathos, resulting in a cocktail that dozens of superhero films have been unable to fully replicate in the 20 years since. You remember the scene: As Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus (aka "Doc Ock") are fighting on a New York City skyscraper, they fall onto an elevated train zooming through the city and continue...

After claiming the gold at Dice Awards, Golden Joystick, and The Game Awards, Baldur’s Gate 3 continued its winning streak at the 2024 BAFTA Games Awards.
Baldur’s Gate 3 took home the BAFTA Game of the Year trophy, beating Alan Wake 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Zelda: Totk, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Dave the Diver.

Days Gone was an underrated PlayStation gem that was released in an underwhelming state back in 2019 but Bend Studio was able to bounce back and got the game to run smoothly on both PS4 and PS5 and eventually on PC.
However, initial reviews affected Sony’s judgment and canceled any future installments leaving fans with the ultimate cliffhanger.
John Garvin Strikes Back About The Canceled Days Gone Sequel
Bend Studio had plans for a Days Gone 2 but PlayStation isn’t interested at all.
In a recent post on X, director John Garvin dropped his two cents and shared his opinion of how he thinks Sony viewed his game. Truth be told, Days Gone had plenty of issues, especially on a technical aspect but was remedied with a series of patches and updates and can be easily forgiven thanks to its riveting storyline and entertaining gameplay.

Ubisoft’s biggest franchises, like Prince of Persia, Assassin’s Creed, and Far Cry, are usually victims of leaks well before the company plans to announce their existence. While some feel it’s done by Ubisoft, the fact remains that its games are very poorly hidden.
The same can be said for the newly revealed title, The Rogue Prince of Persia. We got a new trailer for the title, including some gameplay, but people have been aware of its existence for quite a bit. The trailer is eye-catching, but there is one criticism already for the game.

Almost every Xbox series console owner out there has high hopes for Hellblade 2, and they are right to do so.

Secondly, its polish was such that people could not believe it was not made by a triple-a game studio. Now, yet another proof of its success has appeared online.

The Xbox vs. PlayStation debate is something of a long-running narrative where the latter has dominated throughout the years. Fanboys are trying to prove their respective consoles superior in terms of their quality. Again, Ps wins the battle here. Microsoft too is reportedly busy with the development of the next console but it is unlikely it will beat Ps as far as the historic rivalry is concerned.
Phil Spencer, who recently celebrated his 10th year as the Xbox head, also hinted about the upcoming console in one podcast recently. However, that will be a debate for another time. As of now, one fan shared her opinion by comparing graphics delivered by both rivals from which many are likely to disagree.

Together, Kim and his team have really crafted an incredible experience that fans have not gotten for years on the PlayStation console. This has led to Stellar Blade enjoying a massive fan following.
Some say this fan following is because its main character looks way too good. Others suggest it is popular for its incredibly designed gameplay mechanics. Whatever the reason might be, this game looks out of this world without a doubt. Besides defeating numerous enemies through it, players can unlock a bunch of cosmetics for protagonist Eve.

Gaming is at its peak nowadays, and every developer who makes an excellent game gets the success they deserve. In 2023, games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Spider-Man 2, and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty got the success they so deserved. But the most surprising was Street Fighter 6, which became an unexpected breakthrough for Capcom. The same happened for Tekken 8 recently; both of these games became successful, surprising everyone involved.
It’s not as if fans do not know about these games or that they are small franchises; it’s just that fighting games have a very niche audience. Hence, when these games get so successful, everyone can’t help but wonder what happened. But the director of Tekken 8 has his doubts about the future of his genre.

Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy is arguably the most significant for the web-slinger in live-action adaptations. It enjoyed considerable success, with each film grossing over $800 million worldwide. Raimi had ambitious plans for sequels, but ‘Spider-Man 3’ marked the end for both him and Tobey Maguire, who portrayed Spider-Man impeccably.
Unfortunately, ‘Spider-Man 3’ was widely considered the weakest of the franchise, a fact that Raimi regrets not being able to rectify. Despite the series concluding nearly two decades ago, it remains a topic of discussion, leading to the discovery of new insights into its production.
Dylan Baker is well-known for his role as Dr. Curt Connors, Peter Parker’s college professor, who played a crucial supporting role in ‘Spider-Man 3.’ In the film, Peter discovers the origin and nature of the symbiote.

Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy is likely the most important for the web-slinger when it comes to live-action portrayals. It was a major success as each installment managed to gross over $800 million worldwide. It’s no secret that Raimi had plans for sequels, and many of them at that, but ‘Spider-Man 3′ marked the end for both Raimi and Maguire who embodied the role of Spider-Man so perfectly.
‘Spider-Man 3’ was by far the most weakest of the franchise, and Raimi is regretful he never managed to redeem this. The series is still talked about to this day which is why we’re learning some new tidbits about it close to 2 decades after the franchise concluded.
Dylan Baker famously played Dr. Curt Connors Peter Parker’s college professor, and he played a vital supporting role in ‘Spider-Man 3’ in which Peter figured out the origin and the nature of the symbiote.

Rumors always seem to be swirling on social media that Sam Raimi is going to reunite with Tobey Maguire and direct a fourth “Spider-Man” movie. The duo jump-started a blockbuster age for comic book movies with 2002’s “Spider-Man” and delivered the genre one of its most acclaimed entries with 2004’s “Spider-Man 2.” Although 2007’s “Spider-Man 3” wasn’t a hit with critics, it still pulled in $895 million worldwide to become Raimi and Maguire’s biggest entry.
There was a time when Raimi was developing a “Spider-Man 4” at Sony, with Tobey Maguire back in the title role. The project was ultimately scrapped in favor of rebooting the web-slinger on the big screen with Andrew Garfield. Ever since Maguire returned to his Spider-Man role in 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” comic book movie fans have been clamoring for a proper “Spider-Man 4” from Raimi and his star.
