If you’re a fan ofJason Statham, Prime Video is evidentlytheplace to be right now, going by their current top 10 list. The action star, who may be one of the most popular and enduring action heroes in the world, has been a regular fixture in action movies ever since he broke out in a big way in theTransporterfranchise.

In terms of genre cycles, J-horror seems about ready for a revival.Hideo Nakata’sRingu(1998) was a horror game-changer that helped launch a flurry of atmospheric, slow-burn paranormal horrors built around striking visuals and oppressive dread. When the trend hit North American shores withGore Verbinski’s remakeThe Ring(2002), it likewise spawned a series of imitators, making Nakata’s vision one of the most internationally influential creative precursors to early-21st-century horror. But since then, the subgenre has all but died out on an international scale, leaving it primed for a comeback....

Who doesn’t love the Batmobile? It’s the ultimate badass machine that has gone through many evolutions since its creation. Nothing like a jet-black, lightning-fast tank forBatmanto cruise the streets at night. Sure, Batman has his Batwing, Batcopter, Batjet, and Bat-Segway, but none come close to the Bat-ness of the Batmobile. It’s so iconic that it has been brought to life in real, (mostly) driveable models of the fictional car, but which Batmobile is the best?...

Creating a storm of fear when it was first released in 1974,The Texas Chainsaw Massacrehas inspired endless sequels and prequels. While none ever quite lived up to the original,each film creates its own timelineand lore. This is while retaining the Ed Gein-inspired, chainsaw-wielding charcter of Leatherface. Two films in particular have attempted to construct his origin story. 2006’sThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginningkicks off the ‘Rebooted/Hewitt’ timeline where Leatherface is Thomas Hewitt: a man whose mother died during childbirth and was cast into a dumpster where his foster mother found him, leading him to later be employed at a slaughterhouse....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersforBatman: Mask of the Phantasm.] They took everything, Bruce. My dad, my life, you. I’m not saying it’s right, or even sane, but it’s all I’ve got left.
