GTA 6's third and final trailer is here, locking down release date

It's been over a year since we last saw Rockstar Games' Bonnie and Clyde in action through official channels, but today, the developer is teaming up with Netflix to give us the best look at Grand Theft Auto 6 yet. Even after all the recent leaks by hackers, the open-world possibilities in Leonida are looking as tantalizing as ever. source https://www.polygon.com/gta-6-netflix-extended-look-how-to-watch-youtube-trailer-gameplay/

The Biggest Action Thriller Epic of the Year Officially Arrives in 3 Weeks

Zach Cregger has become one of the hottest directors in Hollywood thanks to the success of 2022’s Barbarian and 2025’s Weapons . Drawing on his experience as a founding member of the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U' Know , Cregger combines humor and horror in films with shocking twists. Barbarian starts with a tense rental mixup before transitioning into a monster movie, while Weapons uses a layered narrative to slowly reveal the reason a class of third-graders went missing. Amy Madigan won an Oscar for playing the film’s twisted villain Aunt Gladys. But for his next movie, Cregger is going even bigger by adapting a storied franchise known for epic action and chilling jump scares. source https://www.polygon.com/zach-cregger-resident-evil-preview/

Nobody Remembers The DC Video Game That Introduced Lanterns' Villains

The latest episode of Lanterns finally teased a season-spanning threat that had been alluded to in the HBO show’s trailers: The Manhunters . Having appeared in Green Lantern comics since the 1970s, these shapeshifters are the precursors to the Green Lantern Corps, but were replaced after they rebelled against the Guardians of the Universe. With overarching themes of replacement and succession permeating Lanterns , the Manhunters are a genius fit for an antagonist. source https://www.polygon.com/green-lantern-rise-of-the-manhunters-retrospective/

Tom Cruise's Unforgettable 10/10 Action Movie is Officially Free to Watch on YouTube

Sometimes, an unexpected cameo can elevate an otherwise solid movie into a genuine cult favorite. Matt Damon’s unhinged performance of “Scotty Doesn’t Know” is the most prominent thing I remember about 2004’s EuroTrip , as he belts out a punk-rock song about cuckolding poor Scotty. Bradley Cooper appearing as a charming little halfling with a fetish for burly barbarian women remains one of the funniest scenes in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves . And who can forget Bill Murray appearing as himself posing as one of the undead in Zombieland so he can golf in peace? source https://www.polygon.com/tropic-thunder-tom-cruise-free-youtube-streaming/

Michael B. Jordan’s Near-Perfect Action Trilogy Is About to Leave Netflix

Rocky V was a huge mistake. After four successful, crowd-pleasing movies about Italian-American boxer Rocky Balboa, Sylvester Stallone pressed his luck with a fifth one released in 1990 that everyone hated, mostly thanks to the fact that it was about Rocky training a punk kid nobody liked. (Rocky was also kind of a jerk in the movie, which undercut this charm from the first four films.) For years, that’s how the Rocky franchise sat: a perfect first movie, three beloved sequels, and one universally-despised dumpster fire. source https://www.polygon.com/creed-trilogy-leaving-netflix-action-movie-august-2026/

Say Goodbye to DC's 4-Part Sci-Fi Action Series Leaving Netflix Next Week

If you pay attention to comics communities online, there are a few dozen out-of-context scenes and panels that are in constant circulation. Every year or two, someone's just seen some joke for the first time, so they reshare it and that sends it around again, like the time Deadpool landed a Shoryuken on Kitty Pryde. One of the go-to memed scenes for fans of DC Comics is from the late Dwayne McDuffie's run on Justice League of America in the early late 2000s. Vixen (Mari McCabe) is suddenly confronted by one of the worst superheroes anyone's ever seen: the Brown Bomber , an unnamed bald white guy who can transform into a superhuman Black man by shouting the words "Black Power!" Vixen is, naturally, appalled. source https://www.polygon.com/black-lightning-leaving-netflix-superhero-sci-fi-action-series/
