When it comes to our deepest fears, one near the top is the idea of a stranger breaking into our home. It’s a chilling scenario to comprehend, made all the scarier by the news stories we hear from time to time of actual home invasions. That fear has also made it a perfect avenue for horror films. If the audience is on edge just by the idea of a movie before it even starts, you’ve got a head start....

Universal and Legendary have released a newWarcrafttrailer online.Duncan Jones’ unique approach toWarcraftinvolves telling the story from both sides equally, the orcs and the humans, with heroes and villains on each side. The two come into conflict when the orcs, searching for a new home world, land on the human-settled Azeroth, kicking off a massive war between the two races. What has me excited forWarcraftis how unabashedly nerdy it looks. This is a film that isn’t hiding at all from its fantasy elements, and instead is fully embracing moments like a guy jumping out of a tower onto the back of a giant eagle because that’s how things work in this world....

That malleability has been baked intoAlien, from the headier prequel films likePrometheusandAlien: Covenantto the more ridiculousAlien vs. Predatorseries, and the nostalgia-focusedAlien: Romulusin 2024. This world has so many possibilities and ideas to explore; they’re really only limited by the imagination of the writers and directors....

It’s one of the few streamers willing to commit to the half-hour format while also making shortform comedy worth watching. Of course, there’s the Emmy-winningTed Lassoand shows likeDickinsonandShrinking, but the streamer hasn’t slowed down since Jason Sudeikis moved back to Kansas for good, and their newest offering,The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, is proof....
