Lena Dunham makes TV magic. Or, well...streaming magic. You can watch her series either place, but how many people sit in front of their TV nowadays? Perhaps your computer monitor is your home for downtime.

Let's also assume that you have watched a Dunham show at some point in your history. Likely, you loved HBO/Max's Girls. Maybe that was the first time you saw Adam Driver. Perhaps it's the first time you saw Dunham and wondered, "How can this unknown to me write a show so well?"

Here is some good news for you. Dunham is returning to television as she creates, writes, produces, and directs a new Netflix series titled Too Much. The show will be almost half of what the film The Holiday was about. Well, not really, but it's close.

When can you watch Lena Dunham's new Netflix show, Too Much?

The narrative follows an...

It is safe to say that Jack Black is one of the most unique movie stars of the 21st century. Having appeared in films as early as the 1990s, as well as establishing himself as a comedic rock icon alongside Kyle Gass with their band Tenacious D, Black's rise to superstardom is particularly notable through his roles in family films. Whether it is through his voice work in animated films such as "Shark Tale, "Kung Fu Panda," and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," or in live-action fair such as "Nacho Libre," "Goosebumps," the "Jumanji" films, and most recently, "A Minecraft Movie," Black has left his mark on the family film genre.

Along with his extensive work within family films, Jack Black remains a beloved comedic actor thanks to his roles in more mature material. "High Fidelity" served as a wonderful cinematic breakthrough for him, whereas his roles in "Shallow Hal,...

Exclusive: Producer Daniela Taplin Lundberg’s Stay Gold Features has secured a new round of funding from undisclosed private investors — $10 million that will go toward the in-house development and production of film and TV projects.

This comes on the heels of Stay Gold’s second round funding, another $10M, on which we were first to report in February 2020. Based in New York, Taplin Lundberg launched the company in 2016 with funding from a dozen private investors. She’ll manage Stay Gold Film Fund III alongside L.A.-based head of development Vanessa Mendal, with whom she oversees the entirety of Stay Gold’s slate.

Among the upcoming projects on Stay Gold’s slate is a feature adaptation of the esteemed graphic novel Tumor, written and to be directed by Will Bridges, who sold his first film All of You to Apple in late 2024. There’s...

Cameron Diaz, just hearing her name brings a smile, doesn’t it? She’s the ultimate cool girl who stole our hearts in There’s Something About Mary, charmed us as Natalie in Charlie’s Angels, and made us laugh (and cry) in The Holiday. But it’s not just her dazzling smile or those iconic roles that make her unforgettable. Diaz has this effortless vibe like she’s your best friend who always knows how to keep things fun, real, and a little wild.

From her hilarious comebacks to her “I don’t care what anyone thinks” attitude, she’s a Hollywood rebel in the best way. Plus, who doesn’t love how she left the spotlight at the top of her game, deciding to live life on her own terms? Oh, and let’s not forget her passion for wellness and dropping nuggets of wisdom that make us rethink everything.

Tiva shippers: This Is Not A Drill. The first images and new information about the highly anticipated NCIS: Tony & Ziva spin-off have arrived. We're learning the series will be officially a part of the Fall 2025 premiere slate on Paramount+. The Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly spin-off will follow fan-favorites Ziva David and Anthony Dinozzo while they raise their daughter abroad. These new images show the pair sharing the screen together for the first time since 2013.

The images show (shippers you may want to sit down for this one) Ziva and Tony with their daughter Tali, played by Isla Gie, being a -chokes up- happy family. Tony Dinozzo being the girl dad he was always meant to be, is seen in one of the images at a pâtisserie with Tali providing wonderful entertainment for his daughter reminiscent of Jude Law's Mr. Napkinhead from The Holiday. Other images look...

The secret to a huge payday at the box office? These days, the magic name is "Jack Black." Between the record-breaking success of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" (where he voiced the big baddie Bowser) and now the ridiculous performance of "A Minecraft Movie," Black is the man on top and can't be stopped. It's also unsurprising, considering he's been one of the most recognizable comedy faces in Hollywood for decades, with roles in films like "Saving Silverman," "Shallow Hal," "School of Rock," "Nacho Libre," "Tropic Thunder," the "Kung Fu Panda" franchise, and the recent "Jumanji" reboot movies (in addition to his band Tenacious D) keeping him a superstar.

But what about the roles that people might not be as familiar with? What about those hidden gems in Black's filmography that don't get as much attention because they aren't as showy as some of his more notable works? In honor...

Hits like A Minecraft Movie generally impact the careers of everybody involved, both in front of and behind the camera. Director Jared Hess, whose previous claim to fame was the cult comedy Napoleon Dynamite, has never worked on a project of this size. No doubt he'll be on every studio's shortlist from now on. But stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa are no strangers to blockbuster success. Momoa, in fact, has delivered a billion-dollar-grossing hit for Warner Bros. already, with the first Aquaman. Black, on the other hand, has several successful franchises under his belt, and the record-breaking performance of A Minecraft Movie has helped him achieve major personal goals.

Thanks to the film's $301 million opening weekend haul at the global box office, the combined total of every movie that Black has appeared in is now mere days away from hitting the $10 billion mark. Black's career box office haul currently...

Jack Black is back on our screens with “A Minecraft Movie,” and once you finish the film, you might be feeling a desire for more of him.

Over the years, Black has cemented himself as a comedy legend, with musical chops to boot. But the man has been working in Hollywood for a few decades now, which means his catalogue runs pretty deep. So, if you need some help choosing, we’ve rounded up nine of his best films to guide you.

These are in no particular order, so love them as you see fit.

Paramount Pictures School of Rock (2001)

There’s a reason that scenes from “School of Rock” have consistently gone viral on social media, as recently as last year. The film, directed by Richard Linklater and written by “The White Lotus” creator Mike White, is just a fun, musical balm for the soul, in which Jack Black...

So when is the upcoming season dropping? Who’s part of the cast? And what surprises are in store? Well, worry not because we are here with the answers. Get ready for all the details on Black Mirror Season 7!

When is Black Mirror Season 7 hitting Netflix? Chris O’Dowd and Rashida Jones in Black Mirror...

The new season of Black Mirror is said to be a return — in more ways than one. In the newly released trailer for Season 7, it looks like more than a few characters and episodes will be revisited, including the now iconic ''USS Callister" episode from Season 4. And according to series creator Charlie Brooker, this new batch of episodes will also be a return to form for fans of the darkly satirical and at-times harrowing anthology series.

Calling the forthcoming season "a little bit Og Black Mirror," Brooker noted that Season 7 — which is slated to hit Netflix on April 10, 2025, goes "back to basics in many ways. They're all sci-fi stories," a welcome change after the past few seasons have focused more on the horror aspect than anything. "There's definitely some horrifying things that occur," he added, "but maybe not in an overt horror-movie way. There's definitely some disturbing content in it.

Black Mirror fans are in for a treat. Season 7 of the beloved anthology TV series has just received a series of updates.

Netflix has officially unveiled the trailer for the upcoming Season 7. With the trailer release also came a series of first-look photos from Charlie Brooker’s epic Netflix anthology, as well as an announcement of all the new and returning cast members. Among them is The Bear's Will Poulter.

Netflix officially announced that Black Mirror Season 7 will consist of six episodes and is set to premiere on the platform on April 10.

"You can expect a mix of genres and styles," the show's creator teased during Netflix’s annual Geeked Week festival in September, per Tudum. "We’ve got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional."

It’s back to basics in many ways.

Because the world does not feel dystopian enough, “Black Mirror” is finally releasing its Season 7 premiere date. The sci-fi anthology from Charlie Brooker will return on April 10 with six new episodes.

This new season will contain a previously announced followup to the Emmy-winning “USS Callister” starring Cristin Milioti. Fittingly, the trailer for this new season starts with Milioti’s Lieutenant Cole gasping as an unseen voice says “We’d like to welcome you back.”

The trailer then cycles between clips of wild scenarios that are never fully explained. One minute, a man is putting on a Batman mask. The next, Issa Rae is being transported into a black-and-white world filled with AI people. Still the next, Rashida Jones collapses like a powered off robot while pitching cereal in front of a class of children. You know, classic “Black Mirror” stuff.

But the most exciting part of this first trailer does...

Black Mirror has finally set a return date and along with the release date announcement, Netflix has dropped a captivating trailer and slew of photos teasing the forthcoming episodes.

The trailer (below) merges the new episodes into one cohesive tease for the dystopian series, set to a foreboding cover of “Dream a Little Dream.” The clips and snippets span genres and introduce the star-studded cast, as creator-writer Charlie Brooker once again plans to tackle predictive sci-fi stories that will touch on AI, human consciousness and technology.

The six-episode season releases April 10 on Netflix.

Joining the already announced cast for season seven are Michele Austin (Hard Truths), Ben Bailey Smith (David Brent: Life on the Road), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing), Josh Finan (Say Nothing), James Nelson-Joyce (The Outlaws), Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Jay Simpson (Pride & Prejudice, The Holiday) and Michael Workéyè (This Is Going to Hurt...

The Electric State – March 14 (L-r) Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt and Ke Huy Quan in ‘The Electric State’

The action film directed by the Russo brothers arrives on the streamer March 14. Starring Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, the film follows the pair through a sci-fi adventure in a world with sentient robots.

Edward Burns isn't just that handsome lad who co-starred in classic films like Saving Private Ryan (1998) and The Holiday (2006). The New York native has also stepped behind the lens to write and direct a number of acclaimed indie films over the years, with the latest turning out to be a bit of a star-studded affair thanks to big names like Patrick Wilson, Benjamin Bratt, Gretchen Mol, Minnie Driver, Morena Baccarin, and Julianna Margulies gracing the screen.

The latter recently opened up to MovieWeb while promoting Burns' Millers in Marriage, which is now available in theaters and on digital, where she took time to sing the writer-director's praises about his latest ensemble film's end result. It's an intricately woven marital drama that follows three grown siblings residing in the Empire State as they navigate their respective relationships, all equally on the rocks in their own unique but relatable ways. Love triangles,...

The fine folks of Netflix can be sneaky little devils sometimes. Case in point: even though it wasn't announced with their regular slate of releases, Venom: The Last Dance made its bow on the streamer on February 25th. They decided to really up their stealth release game with a dozen more titles on Saturday. That's in addition to the 12 already on the slate.

This turned what was already a strong debut slate into an outstanding group. You'll find iconic comedies with some of the most popular stars of Hollywood, a trio of classic romances, and some knife-edge thrillers. There's drama and action, too.

There's also a pair of underrated horror flicks ready for your screen. Best of all is the addition of the finest films from one the most influential directors of the past 40 years. Like all art forms, film is subjective. But rest assured, I'm not talking about Uwe Boll...

Meghan Markle’s delayed debut as a lifestyle goddess; a new epic series adaptation of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s The Leopard; the second spinoff movie in the fast expanding SpongeBob movie universe; a new season motorsports greatest docuseries; Anthony and Joe Russo’s latest big-budget feature; and a screwball murder mystery from Shondaland are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in March.

Finally debuting on March 4th is Netflix’s lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, which is hosted and executive produced by Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. The show was originally slated to launch on Jan. 15, but was postponed due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The unscripted series, which was filmed at a farmhouse in Montecito, California, is a blend of practical how-tos and candid interviews with prominent people. The guests slated for the first season include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Abigail Spencer,...

In the increasingly crowded streaming wars, Max stands apart by embracing its HBO roots. While competitors like Disney+ chase family-friendly fare and Netflix waters down content for mass appeal, Max continues serving up the bold, boundary-pushing projects that built its reputation. Though the platform offers wholesome content like Sesame Street and Studio Ghibli films, Max's true value comes from its dedication to raw, provocative storytelling.

The platform's commitment to mature content proves especially valuable as other services sanitize their libraries. Even as Max courts mainstream audiences with DC Comics and Cartoon Network classics, it remains fearless in exploring human sexuality and desire. From steamy documentaries to award-winning dramas like Euphoria and Game of Thrones, the service delivers heat that makes censors sweat and audiences swoon.

Kate Winslet has had a fantastic career, of course. She has starred in some of your favorite films, such as The Holiday and a small film called Titanic. She has been nominated for seven Academy Awards, and she won for 2009's The Reader. But there is one thing she has never done before.

That would be directing a film. She has produced several projects, and she has even helped write a TV series. But direct? Nope, not yet.

She will soon do that, however. She will be the director of the Netflix movie Goodbye June, which she will also star in. The plotline follows a group of siblings who seemingly have grown apart only to be forced back together again during a trying time. We do not know yet what that trying time is, of course, but do we want to know before we see the film? Unlikely.

Kate Winslet...

Cameron Diaz, the Hollywood star of films like The Mask, The Holiday and Charlie's Angels, has recently returned to the spotlight with the Netflix film Back in Action. Although not many things have changed in eleven years, Diaz was shocked by how different film sets are today: "The level of security of safety you feel as a woman now on set is… I never felt that before this film."

Diaz recently appeared in the 2025 action comedy Back in Action alongside Jamie Foxx. In the movie, she plays Emily, a CIA operative who gets married to Matt (Foxx), another CIA operative, and after having their cover blown, they decide to retire. When a group of ruthless mercenaries finds them fifteen years later, the couple is forced to go on the run and defend their children.

Titane, Julia Ducournau's bizarre "vehicle horror" film from 2021, is coming to free streaming soon. Starting February 16, fans of the weird will be able to stream Titane on Tubi. They will only have to endure the occasional interruption of ads, although, with Titane, it's safe to say that you will probably need to take a break. Yes, it is that shocking.

In Titane, Agathe Rousselle gives life to Alexia, a model who works at a motor show as an exotic dancer. Her hair conceals a large scar on the side of her head, which is due to a metal plate that was installed after a car crash she was involved in when she was just a child. Alexia is a beautiful woman who draws the attention of car fanatics, and one of them tries to assault her. When Alexia fights back and brutally murders him, she celebrates by getting inside a Cadillac and.

Cameron Diaz has shared how different she finds working on movie production sets, after a decade away from the screen.

In an interview on the SkipIntro podcast, Diaz shared: “The industry is so different. I mean, I definitely have to say that MeToo changed everything. You walk on to the set and it is different. There was always just like that one guy, you know, on set, that you were like, ‘God, here he comes again’.

“There was always layers and layers of inappropriateness that you just kind of had to put up with.”

Diaz has been away from the screen for 10 years, concentrating on family life, but was persuaded to come out of retirement to make a pair of films for streamer Netflix, her first one being action-comedy Back in Action, co-starring Jamie Foxx.

Diaz said she was approached by human resources prior to filming to discuss appropriate behaviour,...

In Videoheaven, Blockbuster––to take after Thom Andersen––plays itself. Now deep in a pop-cultural-scholarship phase inaugurated by his last feature Pavements, Alex Ross Perry has made a generous, absorbing three-hour essay film-cum-documentary on nothing else but video-rental stores, those fabled and most benign of places. That is the loveably niche subject, but like the best examples of those brick-and-mortar venues, it contains multitudes: closely inspired by academic Daniel Herbert’s acclaimed media studies text Videoland: Movie Culture at the American Video Store, Videoheaven is the ne plus ultra consideration of this topic to date, dispensing large portions of information and close analysis entirely through a combination of film and TV excerpts, occasional pieces of archive, and voiceover from Maya Hawke. Born in 1984 and coming of age in the early millennial period, Perry is declaiming that this was his generation and this was what mattered. It was magnetic tape and clumpy boxes,...

Remember Cameron Diaz, the effervescent star who lit up our screens in countless blockbusters? Well, she did something pretty unexpected back in 2014 – she completely vanished from Hollywood! After giving us hits like The Other Woman and Annie, Diaz decided to step away from the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown.

But here’s the exciting part: she’s finally back, starring alongside Jamie Foxx in Netflix’s latest offering, Back in Action. If you’ve been wondering what this beloved actress has been up to during her decade-long break (haven’t we all?), you’re in for a treat. Let’s pull back the curtain and discover how one of Hollywood’s brightest stars spent her time away from the spotlight and what finally convinced her to make her comeback.

Finding her true passion:...

After retiring from acting after 2014's Annie to focus on her family life, Cameron Diaz is back. As she's experiencing a lot of popularity with her action flick, Back in Action, the actress is not in a hurry to revisit all her previous films.

Cameron Diaz is a successful comedy and action star, known for roles in 1994's The Mask, 2006's The Holiday, and the Charlie's Angels trilogy. Although she is set to revisit one of her former roles, as she's returning to voice Princess Fiona in the upcoming Shrek 5, Diaz is not planning to revisit all of her popular roles. Speaking to Vogue Mexico, Diaz addressed the chances for a sequel to The Mask and The Holiday.

Related Back in Action Director Says Jamie Foxx Was Cameron Diaz's 'Biggest Cheerleader and Hype Man' on Set

Back in Action director Seth Gordon hails the Netflix film's co-stars, Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.

It was a very quiet weekend at the box office as January 2025 is getting off to a mighty slow start. The entire first half of 2024 was pretty brutal, but at least January had hits like "The Beekeeper" and "Mean Girls" to help carry the load. No such breakouts have emerged yet this year, but hey, something has to top the charts even when we're looking at the ticket sales equivalent of tumbleweeds. Director Mel Gibson's new thriller "Flight Risk" was that film this past weekend, taking the crown with an estimated $12 million haul. With that, Gibson now has his first number one hit in nearly 20 years.

Any weekend in which a movie manages to take the top spot with $12 million is pretty rough, which we should state right up front. Setting that aside, Lionsgate gets to claim it has the number one movie in the country, albeit for a brief time.

Robert Downey Jr. almost got a spot in the Nancy Meyers holiday classic The Holiday, but things didn’t exactly go his way. The Marvel legend spilled the beans on The Howard Stern Show, revealing that he auditioned to play the British single dad opposite Cameron Diaz. Yeah, Jude Law eventually took that role, but Rdj came so close—and let’s say his British accent didn’t help his case.

Downey, alongside Jimmy Fallon, explained that they were brought in as “seat-fillers,” filling in while The Holiday crew figured out who they wanted. They thought it was all going down for them, but then the inevitable happened: “Jude Law’s getting my part,” Downey said, adding that Jack Black had already snagged Fallon’s. They were just there to read with the stars.

But then, here comes Kate Winslet, who roasted Rdj’s accent.

Cameron Diaz has made a highly anticipated return to the big screen after a decade-long break, but her comeback has sparked intense speculation about her appearance. Fans have flooded the internet with searches for terms like “Cameron Diaz facelift,” “Cameron Diaz plastic surgery,” and “Cameron Diaz age,” leading the actress to consider stepping away again.

Cameron Diaz’s Frustration Over Public Scrutiny

Despite starring in Netflix’s Back in Action alongside Jamie Foxx, Diaz is frustrated by the same superficial focus on her appearance that she faced before her hiatus. According to sources, the actress is questioning whether the scrutiny is worth it, feeling like little has changed since her break.

“Cam is wondering if the exposure is worth it. It is like nothing has changed during her time away. It’s the same misogynistic and sexist nonsense about her appearance.

Cameron Diaz is a big name in the film industry, even when her films don't receive good reviews. Her latest movie, Back in Action, her first one in 10 years, is a huge draw on Netflix.

The action comedy comes from Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon and stars Jamie Foxx as the male lead. Diaz's last film was 2014's Annie but Foxx persuaded the actress to come back. This was a major win for Netflix, as the streamer revealed Back in Action topped the charts with 46.8 million views in just four days since its Jan. 17 release, considering the streamer counted the views between Jan. 13 and Jan. 20.

Related Cameron Diaz's Comeback Film Gets Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score That's Very Different From Critics

Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx's new Netflix movie is proving to be divisive between audiences and critics.

Foxx and Diaz are really the dream team as the movie is...

2014 wasn't a great year for Cameron Diaz. The actor who shot to stardom when she debuted in 1994's "The Mask" suddenly found herself at the center of three films that garnered reviews ranging from lukewarm to downright malicious with "The Other Woman," "Sex Tape," and "Annie." Diaz's best movie (at least according to Rotten Tomatoes) was long behind her at this point, and the actor disappeared from movie-making after "Annie" bowed in theaters. Now, she's back in a movie that will surely do little to make up for the poor reviews of 2014 but will, at least, give her global exposure, assuming the Netflix viewing figures are anything to go by.

Diaz appears alongside her "Any Given Sunday" and "Annie" co-star Jamie Foxx in "Back in Action" in which the pair play former spies who settle down and start a family in the suburbs of Atlanta. As you might have...

When Cameron Diaz retired from acting in 2014, fans thought they'd seen the last of the award-winning actress, but that all changed when it was announced in 2022 that she'd be returning for director Seth Gordon's Back in Action. Diaz stars in the Netflix hit alongside Jamie Foxx, with the duo portraying a pair of married ex-CIA operatives that are pulled back into active duty when their identities are compromised. Just how much money did it take to lure Diaz out of retirement, though? As it turns out, a lot.

An unearthed report from Bloomberg that goes deep into Netflix's production model revealed that Diaz was reportedly paid $45 million dollars to star in two movies for the streaming service, an amount that was agreed upon by the former film chairperson Scott Stuber before Dan Lin took his place in 2024. The report states that though Stuber was hesitant to shell out that much money for Diaz,...

Cameron Diaz, the Hollywood star of films like The Holiday, Charlie's Angels, and most recently, the Netflix action feature Back in Action, is open to reprising her role in a sequel to the film that shot her to fame: The Mask. Diaz is currently promoting her return to the industry after a long hiatus of almost 10 years during which she focused on her family, trading the Hollywood spotlight for being a dedicated mother. Nevertheless, 2025 saw the return of Diaz (alongside Jamie Foxx) with Back in Action.

When speaking to Access Hollywood about Back in Action, questions about possibly reviving the plans for sequel to The Mask didn't take long to arrive. The less said about Son of the Mask, the better; it wasn't really associated with the first film (Ben Stein was the only returning actor), and is firmly in the pantheon of the worst sequels ever made. So, ignoring that flick,...

After the release of 2014’s Annie, in which Cameron Diaz played Miss Hannigan, Diaz took a break from acting. By 2018, when she reunited with her co-stars from The Sweetest Thing for an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she described herself as “retired,” and stayed that way for the next several years — until now. Today sees the release of Back in Action, a straight-to-Netflix feature film that lured Diaz back onto a film set. At an event in October, Diaz explained that she had stepped away from her professional career because she had to “reclaim” her life and that what she was “passionate” about at the time was building her family, but that she agreed to Back in Action to re-team with her Annie co-star: “I couldn’t say no to Jamie.”

I accept that as her official reason, but having watched the movie, I now think she took the part...

Cameron Diaz is possibly looking for another good time with The Mask.

The actress, who just made her onscreen return in Netflix’s Back in Action following a 10-year hiatus, recently told Access Hollywood that she would be open to reprising her role in a sequel to 1994’s The Mask, starring Jim Carrey.

“If Jim’s on board, I mean, I’ve been riding those coattails from day one,” she said of a potential sequel.

Diaz played Tina Carlyle in The Mask, which followed bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Carrey), who transforms into a manic superhero, called The Mask, when he wears a mysterious green mask. The film was directed by Chuck Russell.

Last month, Carrey also shared that he would be down to put on the iconic green mask once again for a sequel.

“Oh gosh, you know, it has to be the right idea,” he told Comicbook.com at the time.

Cameron Diaz is one of the most popular comedy and drama actors, and her films grossed billions at the box office. However, the actress stepped out of the spotlight to focus on her family for a decade and her comeback movie is not the success she'd hoped.

Netflix's Back in Action, where she stars with Jamie Foxx, is Diaz's first film in 10 years. The movie premiered on the platform on Jan. 17, and its debut score has just been unveiled.

It’s hard to say. If I say it then it becomes this thing. "I reserve the right to say...

I’m a self-proclaimed Cameron Diaz diehard. In addition to watching The Holiday every year, wishing I could be one of Charlie’s Angels, and firmly believing that My Best Friend’s Wedding has one of the best openings of all time (I hope I got “Wishin’ and Hopin’” stuck in your head), I also think Bad Teacher and The Other Woman are both criminally underrated comedic gems, am a staunch defender of 2014 Annie, and think they should make as many Shrek movies as they want, thank you very much. Needless to say, I was pumped when I found out she was coming out of retirement after over a decade. I’m still excited that she’s back in action (pun definitely intended), but man, I wish she had returned in a better film.

Cameron Diaz is not looking to put a label on her Hollywood return.

The actress, who just made her onscreen comeback with Netflix’s Back in Action following a 10-year hiatus, recently shared with Empire magazine if this means she’s back for good.

“I don’t know how I view it. It’s hard to say,” she explained. “If I say it then it becomes this thing. I reserve the right to say no to doing a movie ever again, and I reserve the right to say yes if I decide to. I’m not defining anything. I’m just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment.”

The Charlie’s Angels star, who appeared in numerous rom-coms in the late ’90s and 2000s, also clarified which film genre she wasn’t necessarily looking to revisit. “No more rom-coms, only mom-coms,” she added.

The critically acclaimed psychological thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon and Jude Law, will soon be available for streaming on a new platform.

Winter, often perceived as the bleakest season with its barren landscape, year-end melancholy, and unresolved struggles, has also been eulogized for its introspective beauty. Austrian poet Rilke, writing to a woman devastated by her husband’s desertion, described winter as a time to nurture one’s inner garden—tending to the mind and spirit after a period of endurance. Albert Camus echoed this sentiment: “In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” Similarly, films like The Holiday depict this growth, framing heartbreak and recovery against the cozy charm of swapped holiday lodgings, emphasizing renewal and comfort over sorrow.

Here are ten films like “The Holiday” that somewhat capture the same spirit:

10. Serendipity (2001)

That winter, and by extension, Christmas, is supposed to be interspersed with miracles is retold through “Serendipity.” One element in particular echoes throughout the film: the appeal of fate and destiny.
