Look, if you really want to see a bad superhero movie like Madame Web in theaters, don’t let us stop you. But if you want a better viewing option without leaving the comfort…

World leaders and Russian opposition activists wasted no time on Friday in blaming the reported death of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny on President Vladimir Putin and his government. “It is obvious that he was killed by Putin,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was visiting Germany as he sought aid for his country in its fight against Russia. “Putin doesn’t care who dies — only for him to hold his position.

2023 was an unusually great year for movies, with each month of the year offering something new and exciting in virtually every genre from almost every distributor. From the slick dance moves of the killer robot M3GAN to the modern Greek tragedy in neon-colored spandex that was The Iron Claw, last year was a great time to be a movie fan.
