The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards just took place this past Monday. Well, I’m convinced that FURIOUS will likely be the one to beat in the Drama category next year. I usually steer clear of stuff that's super dark and violent, but honestly, after reading all those amazing reviews, I had to check it out. The …

FlixChatter Review: THE UPRISING (2026)—Greengrass and Garfield join forces for a gritty, grim, and gloomy medieval folk hero’s journey
These days, it’s pretty hard to watch a movie without knowing too much beforehand, thanks to either a clumsy review or all the buzz on social media.

Despite an uneven box office record in recent years, Ridley Scott can still command a massive budget.
