Sucker Punch taunts dragons in this new trailer

Behold! Zack Snyder’s passion project, Sucker Punch, has released a new trailer. Warner Bros loves Snyder right now. They love him so much that they want him to make little Superman babies, which he will begin to do soon. But before Snyder begins to roll up his sleeves and get to work on the Superman reworking, or retelling, or whatever they decide to call the reboot, he will first release the film Sucker Punch, late next month.

Sucker Punch is co-written by Steve Shibuya, but the project is all Snyder. He came up with the story, he is producing with his wife and is also directing. It is a project that he has been working on for years, but it was only after the (relative) success of Watchmen that Warner Bros decided to let him go wild with Sucker Punch.

The movie stars Emily Browning as Baby Doll, a young woman who has been unjustly sent to an asylum during the 1950s. She escapes into her own mind, a place filled with gatling-gun wielding samurai , WWI-style trench warfare battles and dragons, and with the help of the other inmates, she finds that escape in her imaginary world may lead to escape from the asylum as well.

Expect a visual smorgasbord, and look for Sucker Punch in theaters on March 25, 2011.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
