Sixteen years after creating a fake Thanksgiving trailer for Grindhouse, Eli Roth turned it into a real movie with all the elements of the holiday.

One year later, someone is going around town dressed as one of the original Pilgrims, John Carver, and carving up people who were there on that fateful Black Friday. Whoever is under that mask is apparently out to kill as many people as possible, and even the cops seem powerless to stop the murders.
Denzel Washington spends so much time sitting down and sipping lattes in The Equalizer 3 that you may start to wonder if the actor himself is injured, and not just his character, Robert McCall.

McCall also becomes close to the doctor who saved him, Enzo Arisio (Remo Girone), as well as the police officer who brought him to safety, Gio Bonucci (Eugenio Mastrandrea).

Try not to act too shocked when Deadpool & Wolverine sets a new record for an R-rated film's opening weekend. That's been evident for a while now, and it's no mystery as to why. Getting Hugh Jackman on board to co-headline the sequel with Ryan Reynolds was a coup in of itself, but far from the only thing that's going to give this film great repeat business. It's too soon to say that this will snap Marvel out of its recent slump since Deadpool and Wolverine came with two established superstars. The real test of Marvel's resurgence won't be until its next movie, Captain America: Brave New World, hits theaters in February 2025.
In the meantime, expect Marvel's latest film to suck all of the air out of the box office this weekend, even though Twisters, Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4, and Bad Boys: Ride or Die have established themselves as hits. Maybe the problems with this summer's grosses really were Furious and The Fall Guy all along. Regardless, there are still a lot of films coming this year, and our roundup of the best new movies coming to theaters in 2024 is your guide to staying on top of them.

Although Amazon Prime Video doesn't do a very good job of promoting its comedy specials on the Prime Video home page, it does offer stand-up fans another outlet to see some of the best comedians in the business.

Regardless, Prime Video has delivered new comedy specials for 2024 featuring Sam Morril, Marlon Wayans, and Subhah Agarwal, each of whom bring their own style of humor.

The blame game soon erupts, and the situation continues to escalate until a corker of a final reveal. The zeitgeist-chasing dialogue could easily have become irksome, but the charismatic cast is so convincing as a group of bickering friends that their verbal sparring and back-stabbing begins to seem not only believable but inevitable.
Maria Bakalova (whose hysterical turn in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm earned her an Oscar nomination) acquits herself well in one of the more reserved roles, but the bulk of the laughs come from elsewhere, with Shiva Baby and Bottoms star Rachel Sennott particularly impressive.
Simultaneously one of the highest-grossing films of all time and one of the most awarded, Titanic really was a behemoth when it was released, and its popularity has barely dwindled. James Cameron's film is about as big as historical blockbusters get, with terrific effects and truly tense sequences. However, it really soars because of its heart, which it has in absolute spades.
Following two fictional characters, Jack and Rose, as they board the ill-fated voyaged, the film plays out as a love story for the ages, brought to the screen perfectly by magnetic performances from both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
