With his electrifying performance as the title role in “Hamlet” in theaters this week, check out the best of Ahmed’s career so far on streaming.

There are tons of video game adaptation movies, and even TV shows (“The Last of Us”) but they’ve tended to skew more adult – “Resident Evil,” “Assassin’s Creed,” “Mortal Kombat,” “Tomb Raider,” etc. Even the first “Super Mario Bros.” in 1993 was more racy cyberpunk nightmare than kid-friendly entertainment.

Yes, you’re seeing double. That’s two Vince Vaughns in BenDavid Grabinski’s “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice,” an original action comedy landing on Hulu Friday, March 27.

With the popularity of romance novels, especially on “BookTok” and the success of “Heated Rivalry,” based on the “Game Changers” book series by Rachel Reid, it’s clear that audiences are craving big, swoony feelings as a form of escapism. One of the biggest names in the genre is Colleen Hoover, an author who ...
