Even though adult me realized that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were a gestalt of many existing pop culture ideas (most especially Voltron), they seemed like a revelation of innovation to my childhood self. After all, what could be cooler than a bunch of high school superheroes who got to kick butt and take names in their own iconic mechs before merging into a super-robot and putting the villain in his place? As it turns out, the only thing cooler than our original crop of heroes was the Green Ranger, and you can now stream Green With Evil (which collects the five-episode miniseries that introduced this mysterious character) for free on Tubi. 

The premise of Green With Evil is that when a cool new kid (Tommy Oliver) with mad martial arts skills shows up, Rita Repulsa does the unthinkable: she transforms him into the Green Ranger, making him her ultimate emissary of evil. He quickly proves himself more than equal to the task of defeating the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, utilizing both the Sword of Darkness and his own iconic Dragonzord. Still, the other rangers sense the good in him, and the story soon turns into a race against the clock to save the Green Ranger’s soul before he destroys everything and everyone the Rangers hold dear.

When Evil Goes Green

While there’s a lot to love here for anyone hoping for a serious dose of ‘90s nostalgia, Green With Evil will resonate particularly well for longtime fans of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. For example, this is the first and only multi-episode story in the entire series, which helps to give it a kind of epic grandeur not found anywhere else in the show. This is also the first story to introduce the notion of new Rangers joining the team in the middle of a season, something that would later become a staple of the original Power Rangers and its many fan-favorite spinoffs.

Speaking of fan-favorites, the most notable thing about Green With Evil is that it introduced Jason David Frank, the Green Ranger, to the Power Rangers canon. He quickly established himself as the bad boy of these otherwise squeaky-clean heroes, giving him the cachet needed to headline multiple different spinoffs. In this way, he became a kind of franchise spokesman, and he continued in this capacity until his tragic death in 2022.

Have Zord, Will Travel

For me, returning to these classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes (in a convenient movie format, no less) unlocked a nostalgia that had been lying dormant nearly as long as Rita Repulsa herself. The show really is the opposite of modern superhero media in almost every way: it’s bright instead of murky, it’s heartfelt instead of ironic, and it’s gloriously self-contained instead of shoehorning itself into a cinematic universe. Streaming Green With Evil made me feel like a kid again, and before the credits rolled, I found myself trawling through eBay, hoping to buy the Dragonzord toy I coveted as a youngster. 

Of course, the simplicity of the Power Rangers is a double-edged sword: the story is nice and straightforward, but that also means it offers no real layers for fans hoping for anything deeper. You’re either all-in on the show’s campy glory (which includes goofy rubber-suited baddies and laughable special effects) or you’re not, and if you don’t love the endless “masks vs. monsters” fights, you may quickly run out of patience. Conversely, if these kinds of goofy action/comedy shenanigans are your jam, you’ll likely find Green With Evil to be a veritable feast of early ‘90s awesomeness.

Looking Your Childhood Hero In The Eyes

Back in the day, I aged out of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fandom fairly quickly, so I never really checked out the spinoffs, many of which were headlined by the late, great Jason David Frank (one of my childhood heroes). But this first show was a huge part of my childhood, and I remember entire classrooms full of sugar-laden children who couldn’t wait to re-enact their favorite episodes on the playground. Rewatching Green With Evil, it’s easy to see why everyone was so hyped: with its blend of monsters, mechs, and martial arts, the Power Rangers had everything anyone could want from a superhero show.

Will you agree that Green With Evil is a perfect tribute to Jason David Frank and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or would you rather fight an army of Putties than watch the whole thing? The only way to find out is by grabbing your remote and streaming it for free on Tubi. Just be prepared for the nostalgia overdose, and do your best not to wake the family when (not if) you end up shouting, “It’s Morphin time!”

Before cinematic universes and endless spy franchises took over multiplexes, mid-budget action thrillers like The Italian Job ruled weekend movie nights — and now one of the slickest is making a comeback on free streaming. The 2003 remake updates the classic British caper with a glossy Hollywood edge, centering on a team of professional thieves pulled back together for one last job — this time, for revenge.

The story kicks off with a gold heist in Venice that goes sideways when one of the crew betrays the rest and vanishes with the loot. A year later, the surviving members regroup to track him down in Los Angeles and pull off an elaborate plan to steal back what’s theirs. That setup may be familiar heist territory, but the execution is where The Italian Job finds its groove.

The film stars Mark Wahlberg as Charlie Croker, Charlize Theron as Stella Bridger, Jason Statham as Handsome Rob, Edward Norton as Steve Frazelli, Seth Green as Lyle, Mos Def as Left Ear, Donald Sutherland as John Bridger, and Franky G as Wrench. Long before he was headlining franchises, Statham was already radiating the cool intensity that would make him feel like a rougher, street-level cousin to James Bond. As Handsome Rob, he’s the team’s wheelman and resident ladies’ man, all sharp suits and sharper driving skills, even if he has a surprising amount of hair on that dome that we’ve become accustomed to.

Is There a Sequel to ‘The Italian Job’?

Sadly, as of 2026, there are no more Italian Job films. Back in 2009, director F. Gary Gray spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about the prospects of a sequel, but those appear to have fallen by the wayside:

“You know I’d love it if they were to come up with a concept that tops the first movie. That’s the goal, to make sure that whatever the sequel is that it’s as inventive, as creative as the original….if not better. That’s where all the energy is being spent, making sure you don’t do a sequel for the sake of doing a sequel. You want to make sure you top it.”

The Italian Job is streaming for free on Tubi.

From her starring role in the legacy sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to turning Wednesday Addams into the role she was born to play on Netflix, Jenna Ortega has had an impressive rise to stardom in her first few years on-screen. However, as is the case with most young actors learning their trade, she has also been part of some disappointing projects. In 2025, both of Ortega’s big-screen releases were frustrating let-downs, although the wasted potential of the underwhelming horror fantasy flick Death of a Unicorn looks like a stroke of genius compared to her other flop, Hurry Up Tomorrow.

Starring Ortega alongside Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, Hurry Up Tomorrow promised to be a mind-bending thriller following “a musician plagued by insomnia is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence.” Instead, fans received one of the worst movies of the year, with critics awarding the film a dismal 14% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, hilariously writing, “On second thought, let’s fast-forward to the workweek.” In Jeff Ewing‘s review of the movie for Collider, he wrote, “Characters aren’t given sufficient depth, story beats are repetitive (we get it, you’re stressed walking out to perform), and it’s too late by the time it gets going in the final act.”

Despite all of this, Hurry Up Tomorrow has found itself some streaming success this February, becoming one of the ten most-streamed movies on Starz in the U.S. In fact, at the time of writing, the film is the second-most-streamed title behind Nnamdi Asomugha‘s 2025 drama, The Knife. Directed by Trey Edward Shults (It Comes at Night), Hurry Up Tomorrow is the lowest-scoring project across film and TV in Ortega’s career to date, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Could ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Find Box Office Success?

Hurry Up Tomorrow wasn’t just one of the worst-reviewed movies of 2025; it was also one of the biggest box office flops of the year. Against a reported production budget of $15 million, the film returned just $7.7 million worldwide. In U.S. theaters, the movie opened in over 2,000 locations in a highly underwhelming first weekend. So bad was this opening that, in just two weeks, the movie had been dropped from almost every location, finally playing in 124 theaters before data stopped being produced by its fourth weekend.

Jason Statham has made a career out of punching, kicking, and glowering his way through action movies — but The Beekeeper might be the one where everything finally clicks. Now streaming for free, the high-octane revenge thriller has surged in popularity as viewers discover (or revisit) what many are calling the most entertaining performance of Statham’s career.

In The Beekeeper, Statham plays Adam Clay, a quiet man living off the grid who keeps to himself — and his bees. But when a kind-hearted woman he befriends becomes the victim of a devastating scam that leads to tragic consequences, Clay is forced back into a world he tried to leave behind. And that world is bigger, darker, and more powerful than anyone realizes.

What makes The Beekeeper stand out from Statham’s many action outings is how confidently it leans into its pulpy, almost comic-book premise while still delivering bone-crunching, grounded fight scenes. The movie knows exactly what it is: a slick, mean, unapologetically violent thrill ride built around Statham’s no-nonsense screen presence.

Alongside Statham, the cast also includes Emmy Raver-Lampman as Agent Verona Parker, Josh Hutcherson as Derek Danforth, Bobby Naderi as Agent Matt Wiley, Minnie Driver as Director Janet Harward, and Jeremy Irons as Wallace Westwyld.

Was ‘The Beekeeper’ Worth Watching?

Collider’s Nate Richard hailed the action and cheese on display in the movie, noting the sheer amount of buzzy puns:

“The Beekeeper is made for a very specific audience. Those who don’t want their action paired with a large quantity of puns and cheese won’t find much here. The title alone hints at this being much more of a throwback to the action movies of a different era. Where the Mission: Impossible and John Wick franchises have excelled at pairing breathtaking action with top-notch world-building, The Beekeeper isn’t trying to do that. It just wants its audience to have the time of their lives on this wild ride. It’s an action movie with plot beats that might make certain audience members raise their eyebrows and scoff, but it will have Statham devotees smiling, laughing, and cheering in their seats.”

The Beekeeper 2 doesn’t yet have a firm release date, but with production underway, Statham fans can look forward to seeing Adam Clay back in action soon. The Beekeeper is currently streaming, for free, on Tubi until the end of this month.

The 2026 Rock the Country Festival will no longer play in Anderson, South Carolina, after multiple musicians dropped out of the concert.

Anderson County administrator Rusty Burns told local newspaper The Post and Courier on Friday, February 6, that the two-day show was canceled. Burns further claimed that he wasn’t given a specific reason why the festival canceled its South Carolina shows.

Rock the Country is described as “a festival for the people” featuring performances from Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll and Blake Shelton. The festival was scheduled to stop at eight towns across the United States this summer.

While Rock the Country has not publicly addressed shuttering the South Carolina dates, the festival’s website and social media pages have since been updated to highlight its remaining seven shows. The festival is currently scheduled to begin in Bellville, Texas, on May 1-2 before heading to Bloomingdale, Georgia, later that month. Performances are also scheduled to take place  in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Ashland, Kentucky, Hastings, Michigan, Ocala, Florida, and Hamburg, New York.

Months before the Rock the Country festival crosses the United States, three of its named performers have all dropped out. The annual festival, consisting of an eight-city tour featuring sets from popular music artists, initially featured Ludacris, Morgan Wade and Carter Faith among the star-studded lineup. The trio of artists have since quietly canceled their […]

Hours before the Anderson show was scrapped, Shinedown revealed that they no longer planned to play at any of the shows on the tour.

“Shinedown is everyone’s band. We feel that we have been given a platform to bring all people together through the power and music and song,” an X statement read. “We have one BOSS, and it is everyone in the audience. Our band’s purpose is to unite, not divide.”

The band added, “With that in mind, we have made the decision that we will not be playing the Rock the Country Festival. We know this decision will create differences of opinion, but we do not want to participate in something we believe will create further division.”

Shinedown — featuring Brent Smith, Zach Myers, Barry Kerch, Eric Bass and Jasin Todd — previously denied any political motivation contributed to their initial decision to perform with Rock the Country.

“We are an apolitical band, but the knives have come out. It’s crazy, and to be honest, I had no idea,” Kerch, 49, said, on the “Vinyl Road” podcast in January. “It was just, ‘Hey, here’s an offer. It looks like a cool lineup, and it’s a mix of country and rock [artists].’ We took the offer … and then, all of a sudden, we found out this [has] got some political leaning to it. I don’t care, I’m just going to play a show. You keep your politics to yourself.”

Kerch further stressed that neither he nor his bandmates knew the festival was “Kid Rock’s thing.” (Kid Rock, 55, is a noted supporter of President Donald Trump and the Republican party, and is also set to headline Turning Point USA’s alternative halftime show during Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8.)

Shinedown isn’t the only artist to back out of Rock the Country — Carter Faith, Morgan Wade and Ludacris have similarly walked away from the shows.

“Lines got crossed, and he wasn’t supposed to be on there,” a rep for Ludacris, 48, told Rolling Stone earlier this month, claiming his inclusion was a “mix-up.”
