Tens 80s Christmas Ad

We discovered Tens Sunglasses earlier this year, and since our initial impressions they’ve launched new frames that we’re hoping make it into our Christmas stockings. Their Christmas themed ad hits all the high notes of cheesy 80s infomercials, and will probably be the most entertaining two minutes of your weekend.

Michael B. Jordan has his sights set on his next directing project. The Creed star is working with Amazon MGM Studios on a remake on The Thomas Crown Affair, according to reporting in Deadline. Jordan was already attached to star and produce the movie, but has now decided to take over as director as well.

As of right now, there are no other stars attached to the movie, and Jordan himself has been attached to a remake for almost a decade. Now, though, it looks like he's more committed to actually making it, having wrapped production on a new film with Ryan Coogler, marking his fourth collaboration with the director.

Andy Serkis as Gollum in The Two Towers

Although he's had a career filled with great roles, Andy Serkis may always be defined by his performance as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The movie is set to hit theaters in 2026, and thus far, we don't know a ton about the project.

Ian McKellen's Gandalf is one of the franchise's original stars who is set to return for the project, and in a recent interview with This Morning in the U.K., he offered some details about the upcoming project.

After living out a fairly troubled youth and having a brief career as a rapper, Wahlberg transitioned to the big screen and became one of the most enduring movie stars of the past 20 years. Across a wide range of genres, Wahlberg has managed to prove that he has the kind of charisma and charm to carry big-budget spectacles. At the same time, he's also proven that his skills as an actor can be used in smaller, supporting performances, leading to a far more successful acting career than many might have assumed 25 years ago. The films on this list are the best Mark Wahlberg movies, and the ones that crystallize what great Mark Wahlberg movie should be.
