Typically, the video game world spends June turning its eyes to the future at events like E3 and Summer Game Fest .

More than a decade later, I still remember how disappointed I was when the nominees for Best Animated Feature Film were announced for the 87th Academy Awards. The nominated films were Big Hero 6 , The Boxtrolls , How to Train Your Dragon 2 , Song of the Sea and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya . They were all fine movies, but missing from the list was the funniest, sharpest, most visually innovative animated film from 2014. Now, that very same movie is facing yet another indignity (getting the boot from Netflix's streaming library), making now the best time to watch (or rewatch) this modern animated masterpiece. source https://www.polygon.com/lego-movie-leaving-netflix-oscar-snub/

2021 was only five years ago but feels about 5 million years ago. Nowhere do I feel that more deeply than in remembering the movies that came out that year. In the post-pandemic blur, Hollywood brought us back to theaters… ish? F9 finally came out after a year on the shelf. Black Widow had a simultaneous release in theaters and on Disney Plus that prompted Scarlett Johansson to sue Disney. There was a whole sequel to Space Jam ! Remember? I barely do. source https://www.polygon.com/best-forgotten-2021-movies-to-watch/

People are obsessed with Obsession , and with good reason. Writer/director Curry Barker's debut feature film tells the haunting story of a 20-something guy named Bear (Michael Johnston) who has a crush on a girl he works with named Nikki (Inde Navarrette), but he can’t quite seem to work up the courage to ask her out. So when he finds a wish-granting tchotchke in a local crystal shop, he uses it to wish for Nikki to fall deeply in love with him. While he doesn’t quite expect the wish to come true, it ends up working too well and she becomes utterly obsessed with him. Barker mixes the classic "be careful what you wish for" horror trope with an Exorcist-style possession story to create something unique and terrifying. source https://www.polygon.com/obsession-streaming-release-date-2026/
