Jake Gyllenhaal Says “It Would Be An Honor” To Play Batman

The Rubik’s Cube toy is a classic, but if it does have one major design flaw, it’s that you can’t transform it into a giant robot. Fortunately, this upcoming official Rubik’s Cube robot collectible from Bandai Namco addresses that glaring issue as you’ll be able to unleash the machine lying within this unassuming multicolor cube. It’ll probably be much easier than figuring out how to solve a Rubik’s Cube as well. It won’t be out for quite a while–it launches January 30, 2025–but you can secure a preorder at Amazon and get the cute robot in disguise for $90.

The figure will be a new addition to Bandai Namco’s Soul of Chogokin and Tamashii Nations lines. Soul of Chogokin figures are almost exclusively famous anime, manga, and tokusatsu robots from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. The line aims to be a high-end reproduction of nostalgic mecha and robot designs like Voltron, Mecha Godzilla, Mazinger Z, and more. You can check out many of the other figures in the Soul of Chogokin collection at Amazon. For this transforming Rubik’s Cube robot, you can expect high-quality parts, vibrant colors, and a display stand to pose the little fella on.

If you’d prefer a regular Rubik’s Cube, these are readily available. An officially licensed Rubik’s Cube with its signature 3 x 3 designs is $10 at Amazon, and if you’d like some tips on solving one, you can pick up a Rubik’s Cube guide for just $8.

Or if you want to solve one of these puzzles in mere seconds, Rust-Oleum spray paint is easy to come by. There’s nothing in the Rubik’s rulebook that says you can’t solve one with a little bit of lateral thinking.

Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood’s choosier stars–you’re not going to discover a huge pile of crappy direct-to-TV movies hidden in the middle of his filmography like some other well-known actors. The guy has made a lot of really quality flicks, so it’s no small praise to say that Michael Mann’s Collateral is one of the best movies in Cruise’s filmography–and it may also be Mann’s best movie, for that matter. So it’s only fitting that a film of this quality would be getting a new 4K steelbook edition later this year, which you can preorder now.

Collateral, for those who haven’t seen it, tells the story of a random LA cab driver (Jamie Foxx) who is unwittingly pulled into a complicated assassination plan by a mysterious hitman (Cruise), who wants to use the driver as a scapegoat. The film was shot with a digital handicam that gives the flick a very gritty and real-ish look–this was the movie that established Mann’s glorious modern aesthetic. And now you can appreciate the visuals even more thanks to this new 4K steelbook release.

If you’re looking for more 4K Blu-ray steelbook editions to add to your collection, Amazon’s massive 4K Blu-ray sale includes a deal that gets you three 4K Blu-rays for just $33 total. You can also preorder the 4K Blu-ray steelbook edition of the latest Studio Ghibli film, The Boy and the Heron, for just $35 (down from $45) at multiple online retailers.

When Captain Conrad Howard (Joe Pantoliano) was killed off in Bad Boys for Life in 2020, few could have predicted that his death would be pivotal in the next sequel, Bad Boys: Ride or Die. But when Howard is posthumously accused of being a dirty cop, neither Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) nor Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are going to stop before proving his innocence. But as seen in the final trailer for Bad Boys: Ride or Die, pursuing this case is only going to put targets on the backs of Mike and Marcus, as well as everyone that they love.

Poking around for answers has apparently gotten Mike and Marcus too close to the truth. So the man behind the conspiracy, Banker (Eric Dane), orders an ambush on the two before framing them for the same crimes that tarnished the legacy of their captain. On top of that, Banker has put a large bounty on Mike and Marcus’ heads that’s going to draw too much attention from the drug cartels, gangs, and even other cops. To turn up the heat even higher, the bad guys are going after Marcus and Mike’s families as well.

Fortunately, Mike and Marcus still have some friends inside the department, including Kelly (Vanessa Hudgens) and Dorn (Alexander Ludwig). However, the real wild card in their favor may be Mike’s son, Armando Aretas (Jacob Scipio), who was briefly glimpsed in the trailer. Armando was the man who pulled the trigger on Captain Howard in the last film, and it’s possible that he may have information that could lead Mike and Marcus back to Banker. Mike and Armando are also overdue for some father-and-son bonding, especially after Armando expressed his desire to redeem himself in the previous movie.

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah directed the film from a script by Chris Bremner and Will Beall. Bad Boys: Ride or Die will hit theaters on June 7.

Silent Hill 2‘s legendary antagonist, Pyramid Head, is finally headed back to the big screen, and audiences caught their first glimpse of the geometric monstrosity this week when the film previewed at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Directed by Christophe Gans (who also directed the first Silent Hill film back in 2006), Return To Silent Hill is the third film in the Silent Hill franchise, and is also considered to be a reboot of sorts. The first two films drew inspiration from various Silent Hill games and included some of the series’ most well-known characters. However, neither 2006’s Silent Hill nor 2012’s Silent Hill: Revelation were true adaptations of one specific Silent Hill game, but rather amalgamations of them. Return To Silent Hill, on the other hand, is aiming to be a faithful adaptation of Konami’s 2001 horror masterpiece, Silent Hill 2.
