‘My Oxford Year' Review: Netflix's Tutorial in Romance
So does class, which isn't entirely surprising. Our hero, Anna De La Vega (Sofia Carson), is fulfilling a lifelong dream of attending the University of Oxford and, as a self-motivated American, is a sitting duckling for Brits with attitude. She can give as good as she gets, however. And, unlike many of the lads she encounters and spills beer on, she has a life plan: With her business degree from Cornell, she will take a quickie master's degree in Victorian poetry at Oxford and then segue into the job waiting for her at Goldman Sachs, the one she deferred for a year so she could get literature—presumably—out of her system.

When Is Body Horror Thriller ‘Together' Coming To Streaming?
Together — a body horror thriller starring Dave Franco And Alison Brie — is new in theaters. When will it be available to watch at home? Together opened in theaters on July 30. The official summary for the movie reads, 'Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie) find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. 'With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love and their flesh.' Written and directed by Michael Shanks, Together also stars Damon Herriman. When Together comes to the home entertainment market, the first place it will be available is on digital streaming via premium video on demand. Generally, Together's studio, Neon, has a six-week window between the time its films open in theaters and debut on PVOD. For example, Neon's hit horror comedy The Monkey debuted on PVOD on April 4, just under six weeks after it opened in theaters on Feb. 21. More recently, Neon's sci-fi fantasy drama The Life of Chuck arrived on PVOD on July 29, about six weeks after it opened wide in theaters on June 13. If Together follows the same release pattern, viewers can expect to purchase or rent Together on PVOD on or around Sept. 9, since new films on PVOD are generally released on Tuesdays. Which Streaming Service Will Get 'Together' First? Since Neon has a deal with the platform, Together will make its debut on Hulu when it arrives on streaming video on demand. Generally, it takes anywhere from four and a half months to five and a half months for Neon releases to arrive on Hulu. For example, Neon's Best Picture Oscar winner Anora, which expanded to a wide release in theaters on Nov. 8, 2024, arrived on Hulu just under four and a half months later, on March 17. However, Neon's hit horror comedy thriller The Monkey, which opened in theaters on Feb. 21, will finally make its SVOD debut on Hulu on Aug. 7, which marks a five and a half month stretch between its theatrical and Hulu release. Should Together follow the same release pattern, viewers can expect the film to debut on Hulu anytime between Dec. 12 and Jan. 12, 2026. Unlike other streaming platforms, new Neon film releases on Hulu aren't relegated to a specific day. Rated R, Together is new in theaters nationwide.

King Charles Is "Fuming" Over Prince William and Kate Middleton Moving Houses Again
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Kate Middleton and Prince William might be ditching Adelaide Cottage for an even fancier spot on the Windsor Estate named Fort Belvedere, and apparently King Charles isn't thrilled. According to Rob Shutter's #shutterscoop (via Yahoo!), King Charles is "fuming" over the cost of William and Kate's proposed move. As a palace source put it, "It'll take millions to renovate. Charles sees it as an unnecessary extravagance." However, William and Kate are said to be enthused about the move, with an insider explaining "They've outgrown Adelaide Cottage. Fort Belvedere has it all — history, land, and proximity to Eton." Wills and Kate have moved quite a few times over the years. They kicked things off at Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace—right in the heart of London—before relocating to their country home, Anmer Hall. Then they left Anmer Hall for Adelaide Cottage in 2022, so this new move is coming not even three years later. As for Fort Belvedere, the Daily Mail describes it as a "a magnificent gothic-revival mansion nestled in a hidden corner of Windsor Great Park." Their source notes that Wills and Kate "feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage and need somewhere more substantial. This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis." FYI, the 18th century mini castle is where Edward VIII lived before he abdicated the throne, and has a slew of amenities—including, but not limited to, an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a rose garden, a greenhouse, private stables, some casual lakes, paddocks, and multiple staff cottages.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Officially Brings in Mark Ruffalo as Hulk and Michael Mando as Scorpion — GeekTyrant
Spider-Man: Brand New Day just leveled up in a big way. With production about to kick off, it's been officially confirmed that Mark Ruffalo and Michael Mando are joining the upcoming Marvel Studios film, and it sounds like both will play key roles in the story. Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, a role he's been crushing since The Avengers . From Thor: Ragnarok to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law , he's been a consistent force in the MCU and it's awesome to see him now enter Spider-Man's corner of the universe. Mando returns as Mac Gargan, the character he first portrayed in Spider-Man: Homecoming . But this time, he's expected to go full villain and finally become the Scorpion. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gargan will be a major part of a big action sequence set to be filmed in Glasgow, Scotland. Word is that he's being transported in a DODC convoy when he's suddenly targeted by The Punisher. That's when Spider-Man jumps into the fray. Fans will remember Gargan's brief appearance in Homecoming , where he tried to pry Spider-Man's identity from The Vulture after getting seriously injured. He's presumably been locked up ever since, and while we don't yet know how he gets his Scorpion gear, it sounds like we'll finally see him unleashed. The film is shaping up to be an intense street-level brawl, and Marvel is clearly bringing in a strong mix of characters for that vibe, which include Jon Bernthal's Punisher. As the outlet notes, 'You can bet that, in the mighty Marvel manner, Spider-Man, Punisher and Hulk will all fight one another before figuring out who the real bad guys are.' Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently offered some insight into the direction of Spider-Man: Brand New Day , and it's exactly what fans hoped for after No Way Home reset the character's world. "I think there's a promise at the end of No Way Home , that for as sad as it is that Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life, we are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. 'Him being by himself, dedicated to saving the city, and dealing with, for lack of better terms, street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events." He added, "So when you do that, you say, okay, who are the other street-level characters that we've never seen him interact with? And of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic." Feige also teased what's inspiring the movie's direction: "That great cover. I don't want to say too much, but Destin, I will say too much, Destin is doing an amazing job right now on that movie, which starts shooting very soon. And he's got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life in this movie, which is super cool." Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton ( Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ) and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Liza Colón-Zayas. The film swings into theaters on July 31, 2026.
