'The Bride!' Is Stylish, Garish, And Soulless Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!' is a stylish, garish, and soulless "sequel" to Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein.'

'How To Make A Killing' Is A Screwy Social Satire That Falls Just Short Of The Mark Glen Powell is perfectly cast as a cutthroat social climber in 'How To Make A Killing,' John Ford Patten's loose remake of 'Kind Hearts and Coronets.'

I might be one of the few who didn’t mind HOW TO MAKE A KILLING even if I think it undercuts its own satire by trying to reach for some kind of moral catharsis www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Why You Should Avoid All Spoilers For 2026's Most Shocking Thriller Movie The Oscar-nominated rave thriller, 'Sirat' has one of the most shocking turns of the year.

'Zi' Is An Existential Dream Wrapped In A Time-Travel Movie With the dreamy time-travel movie 'Zi,' Kogonada goes back to basics in a tiny, subtle, beautiful journey through time and Hong Kong.

ZI: Kogonada continues his big bold beautiful journey with something much smaller and humbler. A dreamy wisp of a movie, ZI is a fascinating experiment that still feels like Kogonada is synthesizing his film influences. With ZI, he’s one step closer www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Very late to the game, but I reviewed ALL YOU NEED IS KILL a dazzling new anime movie that will fill the EDGE OF TOMORROW-shaped hole in your life www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'Dead Man’s Wire' Proves Gus Van Sant Movies Still Matter Gus Van Sant makes a comeback 8 years later with 'Dead Man's Wire, a lightweight 'Dog Day Afternoon' riff that is a ton of fun.

Reviewed DEAD MAN'S WIRE, aka how Gus Van Sant got his groove back (good movie, don't miss it!) www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' Review: The First Feel-Bad Movie of 2026 The second entry in the '28 Years Later' trilogy, 'The Bone Temple,' is hard to watch but easy to love.

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is an even more brutal and heady trip than the first, with a visceral sequence I couldn't believe made it into a mainstream horror release, and Ralph Fiennes offering much-needed levity and austerity. My review: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'Avatar: Fire And Ash' Review: James Cameron's Sci-Fi Trilogy Reaches An Explosive Conclusion James Cameron’s biggest and most unwieldy movie yet is also his most open-hearted. Read our 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' review.

James Cameron does it again. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" is bigger, longer, more unwieldy—and the most enthralling Hollywood blockbuster in years. Stirring spectacle. Wrenching melodrama. Overwhelming beauty. No one’s making old-school religious epics like this www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'Fallout' Season 2 Review: Amazon’s Hit Apocalypse Show Improves On Its Greatest Strengths 'Fallout' Season 2 knows what works, and gives us more of it. Read our review of 'Fallout' Season 2 here.

I have good news: FALLOUT Season 2 is great. Though I may be biased (every time Walton Goggins was onscreen I was kicking my feet up). But seriously, with more Lucy/Ghoul stuff and more character actors chewing up scenery, you can't really go wrong: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

30 Years Ago, LucasArts Dropped a Brilliant Spielbergian Fever Dream Let's go back to 'The Dig.' Here's why this sci-fi point-and-click game was cozy as hell in 1995 and is still great today.

30 years, ago, a strange, cozy sci-fi game dropped. @ryancbritt.bsky.social's retrospective on THE DIG: www.inverse.com/gaming/the-d...

Why It Took 20 Years For Lord of the Rings To Finally Make A Cozy Game Despite there being some beloved Lord of the Rings games, the series has been criminally underutilized in the cozy realm for decades.

Why did it take so long for LORD OF THE RINGS to get a cozy video game? @solfleet.bsky.social investigates: www.inverse.com/gaming/lord-...

The Perfect Cozy Game Pairings For Our Favorite Comfort Shows Streaming and gaming can go hand in hand. Inverse editors tell you their cozy viewing and gaming pairings perfect for the lazy nights in during the holiday season.

Why David Fincher's Thrillers Offer A Weirdly Cozy Comfort From 'Gone Girl' to 'Se7en,' David Fincher's thrillers are horrific... and oddly comforting. Here's why so many people turn to the director's films during dark times.
