Netflix is officially getting rid of its written user reviews, first disabling writing new reviews on July 30, and then removing all previously written reviews in mid-August.
As reported by CNET, Netflix has decided to nix the feature in stages, with written reviews of all kinds being eliminated over the course of the summer. This feature was exclusive to desktop users, allowing them to express their written opinions on various movies and shows to fellow users.
“This feature is only offered on the website and has seen declining usage over time,” said Netflix spokesperson Smita Saran. Those who frequently wrote reviews have reportedly been alerted of the feature change by Netflix via email.
J.J. Abrams alum Keri Russell will reportedly be joining the cast of Star Wars: Episode IX.
Variety.com reports that Abrams and Lucasfilm execs have been auditioning multiple actresses for this action-heavy role, and they agreed on Russell shortly before the Fourth of July holiday. The role reportedly “calls for action-heavy fight scenes,” but nothing more is known about it at this time.
Abrams and Russell have worked together in the past as she was the star and title role of Abrams’ Felicity, which ran from 1998-2002. The pair last worked together in 2006’s Mission: Impossible III, where Russell was one of Ethan Hunt’s proteges, Lindsey Farris, and Abrams co-wrote and directed the film.
Ant-Man and the Wasp saw a stronger start than the original movie and Doctor Strange at the box office last night.
Deadline reports the Marvel sequel scored an estimated $11.5 million on preview night. That’s better than Guardians of the Galaxy too, which brought in $11.2 million. But Ant-Man and the Wasp falls short of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s $15.3 million start last month.
Looking ahead at the full weekend, Ant-Man and the Wasp is tracking to bring in $70 million to $80 million. Those numbers would also top the original movie as well.
Sacha Baron Cohen is reportedly in talks with Showtime to distribute a new series in a similar format to Da Ali G Show.
Variety has said that “at least one or two episodes” have already been produced. The news follows a social media post from Baron Cohen, hinting that he’s “back as you’ve never seen him before,” alongside a doctored video of Donald Trump insulting Baron Cohen.
Da Ali G Show ran from 2000 to 2004 and spun out three movies: Ali G Indahouse, Borat, and Bruno.
Last month, it was announced that Baron Cohen will play Israeli spy Eli Cohen in Netflix’s six-episode series The Spy.

How will Scott Lang escape from the Quantum Realm? And how might his plight in the post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp impact the events of Avengers 4?
Those are arguably the biggest questions fans will have after watching the latest Marvel movie so let’s dive into the ways in which Ant-Man might escape the Quantum Realm in the sequel to Infinity War. Starting with …
This is the safe money bet. Right as he’s venturing into the Quantum Realm, Scott is told by Janet van Dyne: “Don’t get sucked into a time vortex.” That seems to be a pretty on-the-nose warning but also one clear enough for a dope like Scott to eventually realize might be the key to him escaping his predicament.
Ant-Man and the Wasp is here and while we greatly enjoyed the latest MCU movie — our review praised it for offering “some of the most creative action scenes and finely-calibrated comedy in the Marvel universe so far”– it nevertheless left us with a few head-scratchers to ponder.
From what it sets up for Avengers 4 to certain characters’ fates, there were a lot of developments in this Marvel sequel that made us wonder what happens next in the MCU.
Here are the eight biggest WTF questions we had after seeing Ant-Man and the Wasp, starting with:
Well, this is the million dollar question, isn’t it? The end of Ant-Man and the Wasp finds Scott Lang marooned in the Quantum Realm because Thanos’ finger snap killed Hank, Hope, and Janet back on Earth. They were his lifeline to getting out of the Quantum Realm in a short period of time after collecting Quantum healing particles for them to help continue Ghost’s treatment.
This story contains spoilers for Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers: Infinity War.
Ant-Man and The Wasp continues the longstanding Marvel Cinematic Universe tradition of post-credits scenes – the film has two in total, one midway through the credits and one at the very end – but unlike most of the previous Marvel movies, where the stingers were playful bonus scenes or Easter eggs for comic book fans, you’ll be missing out on a major plot twist if you decide to leave the theater as soon the movie ends… mostly because Scott, Hope and Cassie’s miniaturized drive-in movie night isn’t really the end of the movie.
The first post-credits scene finds Scott venturing back into the Quantum Realm to gather more healing particles to continue Ghost’s treatments, with Hope, Hank, and Janet staying behind to operate the Quantum Gateway tech, which is now stashed in the back of Luis’ van. The mission goes off without a hitch until Scott radios back to the regular-sized world for Hope and her parents to bring him back, and we see that all three have been killed by Thanos’ snap, leaving nothing but ash floating on the breeze as an increasingly panicked Scott tries to reach them. Ouch.
