Every Death In The Day Of The Jackal Season 1. Content Warning.
In the ten episodes of The Day of the Jackal (2024), a highly trained assassin accumulates a significant number of fatalities, but he is not the only murderer depicted on film. The series is a modern and updated version of a 1973 movie that was based on a Frederick Forsyth novel published a few years earlier. The series stars Eddie Redmayne as the titular Jackal, and Lashana Lynch as the determined MI6 agent Bianca Pullman, who is in hot pursuit.

Mufasa
So…two my favorite animated films of all time are The Lion King, and The Lion King 2. The music is phenomenal, as are the stories and I rewatch both of them incredibly regularly. So when I heard that Lin Manuel Miranda was doing the music for Mufasa I was extremely excited. Mufasa is another one of those “no one asked for this” kind of movies and I feel like it exists only to tell the story of how Scar got his name. But we truly didn’t need a whole movie for that, a little mystery never hurt anyone. Now the reason that the 2 main Lion King movies are so successful is not just because of the music but it is also because their stories are literally Shakespeare. The first Lion King is Hamlet, and the second is Romeo and Juliet. Every single time they have tried to expand this franchise without using Shakespeare it's been bad. Lion King 1 ½ was an embarrassment to film, and the show on Disney Jr. is…a show. So we went into Mufasa skeptical at best.

Dune Prophecy
It seems a little fast but we are in fact at the end of the first season of Dune Prophecy. We can only assume that they planned on this being more seasons because there is simply no way to wrap up all of our loose ends in this one final episode. So far the show has done an incredible job of giving us background into the rise of the Bene Gesserit and of the beginnings of House Harkonnen. I am very excited to see how the first season of this new series ends. So let’s dive into the Dune Prophecy finale.

Levi Ackerman is Suffering!
Let me now tell you something about Levi Ackerman: the strongest soldier of humanity, the unstoppable wall in the battlefield, the guy who has gone through such pain, yet he kept moving on. Hiding behind the mask of stoicism, his life is actually a saga of sorrow. Levi Ackerman's pain is not just physical; it's psychological and emotional, essentially human.

Dune: Prophecy Ending Explained
The first season of Dune: Prophecy is now over, and there is a ton of fresh content and potential plot points for season two to consider. Denis Villeneuve's epic film universe is expanded with the HBO prequel series, which tells the story of the early Bene Gesserit and is set 10,000 years before the events of the Dune movies. Dune: Prophecy, while is mostly based on Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's novel Dune Sisterhood, has also established a number of its own plots, many of which are resolved in the first season finale.

My Review of "Lower Decks: Season 5"
Lower Decks: Season 5 has finally come and gone. As a fan of the series, I was really sad to see it go but I loved the way they wrapped it up. This season is probably everything fans of the series was looking for. It rewards you for being a fan and rewards you even more if you know the franchise in general. This is probably one of the most inaccessible seasons of all the seasons but in a good way.

But in the K-pop world, the end of the physical drill and the action of clothings/style are interwoven into one but they are separated in some ways, ILLIT, comes out as a group which beautifully and smoothly integrates heart and art according to its own sense.
