PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will get 100 free movies
Available on the new Sony Pictures Core app
Everything is a subscription these days. As the streaming wars continuously heat up, several companies are finding ways to offer more for subscribers to snatch them away from competing platforms. And it’s not just exclusive to video streaming platforms. Sony is now releasing its movie streaming platform to the PlayStation, and it comes with an added bonus for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Sony’s streaming platform isn’t exactly new. Formerly exclusive to Bravia TVs and Xperia devices, the app allows users to purchase, rent, and stream Sony films. Now, the app — formerly called Bravia Core but is transitioning to its new name, Sony Pictures Core — is available on the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5.
Though the app will still let users purchase films, PlayStation Plus Premium (and Deluxe in countries that have that tier) subscribers will receive a library filled with a hundred movies free on the Sony Pictures Core app. This list will include titles like Looper and Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV.
Also, because Sony now owns Crunchyroll, the app will soon have anime content. Some of which will also be available for free to subscribers.
The app will also allow PlayStation users to purchase some recent films on an early access window before other platforms. Some of which, including the recent Gran Turismo film, also ties in with in-game content for corresponding games.
On its own, a PlayStation Plus subscription allows users to play online and grab a free game every month. On the other hand, more expensive tiers grant users access to a vast library of games playable at no extra cost. Now, the most premium subscription also offers a library of movies to stream between gaming sessions.

Ubisoft confirms Far Cry live-action anthology series
Months ago, Ubisoft accidentally announced that it is working with FX on a live-action adaptation of the Far Cry series. Today, the publisher finally confirmed the news and attached some notable names to the project.
Confirmed directly by the publisher via an official announcement, Ubisoft announced that FX has ordered a series based on the first-person adventure series. The show will be an anthology series with different characters and stories for every season. With that description, it sounds a lot like The White Lotus but with more guns.
The games themselves follow this same format. Each game has a different setting and set of characters. The last, for instance, featured Giancarlo Esposito as Anton Castillo, the dictator of a fictional South American country named Yara.
Helming the live-action project are two big names for Hulu: Noah Hawley and Rob Mac. Hawley recently earned his flowers through the recently concluded first season of Alien: Earth. Meanwhile, Rob Mac has been earning success after success with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
With those two helming the series, the upcoming Far Cry adaptation has the potential to make a name for itself in the videogame adaptation scene. These days, adaptations are rocking the airwaves with notable adaptations including Fallout and The Last of Us.

Hisense L9Q Review: The ultra short throw projector that feels like a TV
A 120″ home cinema
Have you ever dreamed of watching a movie at home that actually feels like the cinema? A picture so bright, so detailed, so close — you forget it’s being projected onto your wall?
The Hisense L9Q the kind of device that makes that possible.
The Ultimate Home Theater Upgrade
When you think of a projector, you probably picture a big box at the back of the room, throwing a beam of light you’re not supposed to walk through.
The Hisense L9Q flips that idea completely. It’s an ultra-short-throw projector, which means it sits just inches from the wall. So there are neither shadows nor cables stretching across the floor.
It’s clean, modern, and honestly, it looks like something from the future. It’s Hisense’s most advanced laser projector yet.
Setup only takes minutes: drop it in place, power it on, and auto fit and alignment can take care of the rest, or you can manually adjust it. You don’t need a technician to pull this off.
And the image? 80 inches all the way up to a massive 200 inches. Pair it with an ALR screen — short for ambient light rejection — and it looks even more unreal. The screen bounces the projector’s light straight toward you while blocking out the glare from lamps or windows.
Most people will think it’s a TV. Then you tell them it’s a projector and you can watch their faces light up.
Pure Cinema Standards
At 5,000 lumens, this is one of the brightest projectors in its class. It stays vivid even in daylight. That football match you like to watch with coffee on weekend mornings? It looks spectacular.
The scary movies you pretend to watch under a cozy blanket? Also SPOOK-tacular.
But brightness alone isn’t the star of the show. The secret is L9Q’s Triple Color Laser system. That means separate red, green, and blue lasers, each tuned for pure wavelength precision.
Most projectors use a single white laser or LED that filters through color wheels, which limits how many shades it can actually show. This one doesn’t.
It covers 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut, which is the widest color standard used in 4K production today. So you get richer reds, punchier greens, deeper blues — the kind of color that makes sunsets glow, neon lights shimmer, and movie worlds feel alive.
Just look at the Avatar films: those shimmering blues and layered greens that feel otherworldly. There’s also La La Land’s famous “Lovely Night” scene: those shifting blues and oranges that make it pure magic.
Even in Severance, you might remember that moment when Mr. Milchick gifts the innies their music dance experience. The reds and blues flood the frame without ever bleeding into each other.
Combine that wider color gamut with both Pantone and Pantone Skintone Validation and you get better color over all.
In White Lotus Season 3, for example, even with its warmer color grade, you can still see each cast member’s skin tone naturally. They’re not washed out nor overly orange.
Add 4K Ultra HD resolution and a 5,000 : 1 contrast ratio, and dark scenes pull you in while highlights burst with cinematic clarity, the kind of balance you expect in a real theater.
Just like the best theaters, the L9Q supports every major HDR standard: Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. Visually, it’s stunning.
In Oppenheimer, the shadows stay detailed and lifelike. You’ll see every subtle expression on Cillian Murphy’s face.
In Black Panther, the deep purples and golds of T’Challa’s ceremonial robe gleam against the vibrant landscapes of Wakanda.
Lastly, in Crazy Rich Asians, the wedding scene feels lush and alive — colors bloom, fabrics shimmer, and the lighting feels straight out of the theater.
Then, there’s the sound. The L9Q’s built-in Max 116W Devialet 6.2.2 audio system delivers clear highs, warm mids, and a surprisingly powerful low end.
Soft moments like Kina Grannis’ Can’t Help Falling in Love, sound intimate and emotional. When things get intense, like Kendrick Lamar’s Pray for Me during the Busan chase, the audio swells, crisp and controlled, matching the energy on screen.
Zimmer’s score in Oppenheimer hits just as hard: first silence, then the blast, shaking the room with that cinematic punch.
Of course, if you’re building a full home theater, you’ll probably connect your own surround setup. With the L9Q’s flexible connectivity, you can easily do so. But even on its own, this projector already sounds like it belongs in a cinema.
Visual Excellence
It’s not just for movie nights either. The L9Q handles fast-moving visuals like a champ . It’s got 240 Hz refresh rate that keeps motion fluid and sharp. Whether it’s live sports, chase scenes, or anything that moves fast, you won’t miss a beat.
It’s one of those details you don’t notice until you go back to something slower — then you can’t unsee it.
Whatever you like to watch at home, it’s also just a click away. The L9Q has Google TV built in, so all your favorite apps — Netflix, Disney Plus, YouTube — are ready to go.
No set-top boxes, no cables, just the remote, which, by the way, glows in the dark.
Elegant Centerpiece
The Hisense L9Q is a showpiece in itself. Unlike most TVs that are an eyesore when turned off, it’s designed to be seen, not hidden.
With its imperial copper gilt finish, diamond-cut edges, and micro-prism detailing, it’s already won prestigious design awards like the Red Dot 2024 and IF Design Award 2025.
Just like all Hisense projectors, it’s also built to last. With a 25,000-hour laser lifespan you’ll be enjoying your home theater for a really long time. I did that math and that’s at least 2 movies every day for the next 13 years.
The Future of Home Cinema
At US$5,999, it’s an investment for sure, but it’s the kind that transforms every movie, game, or cozy night in into something worth remembering. No bulky setup. No messy cables. No compromises. Just light, sound, and story — right where you live.
Check out Hisense L9Q Ultra Short Throw Projector on Best Buy or Amazon. It’s currently $500 off for Black Friday.

The Legend of Zelda film gets its first official photos
Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth play Zelda and Link, respectively.
The Legend of Zelda might be one of the hardest video games to adapt. After all, how do you write a script for a protagonist who never talks? But, by God, Nintendo is doing it anyway. Now, the company has released the first official images from the upcoming live action film’s production.
The upcoming Zelda film has had a long production cycle. First announced in 2023, it was only earlier this year when Nintendo put a date to the film’s premiere: March 26, 2027. Even now, we don’t know much about the film.
Over the weekend, unofficial photos showed that product started its filming in New Zealand. Unofficial photos don’t really mean much except for those who hang around the rumor mill, but they can spiral towards those excited for the film’s release. To get ahead of the rumors, Nintendo released official photos, over the Nintendo Today app, which show both Link and Princess Zelda.
Notably, Zelda, the archetypal princess in distress, isn’t wearing her usual princess’s garb. Rather, she’s wearing the blue gear from the Breath of the Wild duology, where the princess had a more active role in saving Hyrule. Bo Bragason, who plays the princess, will likely take on a more front-and-center role.
Link, played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, is wearing his more traditional green clothing from the past games. Though the film looks like it’s adapting the most recent duology, it might be an entirely different story, based on Link’s different clothes.
