While those who've seen the Sinners end credits scene feel that the door is open for the Sinners franchise to expand, director Ryan Coogler seems to disagree.
'I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that,' Coogler told Ebony Magazine. 'I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetizers, starters, entrees and desserts, I wanted all of it there… That was always my intention.'

Prime Video just added a ridiculously fun dark comedy movie — and it's full of unexpected twists
When combing through Prime Video's lineup for July 2025, I spotted a movie I vaguely recognized by name but had never actually watched. Comedy isn't usually my go-to genre (I've been called the 'horror queen' many times), so it wasn't surprising that I'd missed 'Game Night.' But something urged me to give it a try. 'Game Night,' in a few simple words is a dark comedy that takes some pretty wild turns, while keeping the experience genuinely fun. Jason Bateman effortlessly floats through the genre as if second nature, alongside the ever-charming Rachel McAdams, who brings plenty of laughs. Given my usual preference for horror or dark thrillers, I was glad 'Game Night' ended up on my screen instead. Now that this dark comedy is streaming on Prime Video, I'd recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to add it to their watchlist. Here's why 'Game Night' should be the ultimate movie choice at your next game night. 'Game Night' follows Max (Bateman) and Annie (McAdams), a competitive couple who regularly host game nights with their close group of friends. One evening, they invite Max's wealthy and charming brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), to join them. Brooks proposes a new game — a murder mystery party where someone will be 'kidnapped,' and the group has to solve the case. What begins as an entertaining challenge quickly turns real when Brooks actually disappears, and the group realizes they're caught up in a genuinely dangerous situation. As Max, Annie and their friends scramble to uncover what's really going on, they face a series of unexpected twists, false leads, and escalating chaos. Each clue brings new surprises, and the stakes rise as they try to save Brooks and themselves. Character work and storylines are what most people tend to focus on when watching a movie, and rightfully so, since they're incredibly important. But as someone who essentially memorizes the way a movie looks, 'Game Night' surprised me in the best way possible. This dark comedy features some seriously cool cinematography. Directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein clearly knew what they were doing. Given the movie's title, they wanted to literally incorporate elements of games into the visuals. Near the beginning, there's a street scene that uses an effect to make the characters' world look like a game board or miniature set. As the camera zooms in, the street 'comes to life,' transitioning from the toy-like perspective into full, real-scale live action. I have to say, the visuals really impressed me. If you've seen 'The Social Network,' you might recognize a similar use of tilt-shift photography during the miniature Harvard campus shot. It's really cool stuff, and I wish more movies took creative risks with experimental and fun visuals like this. Aside from the cinematography, 'Game Night' has plenty to offer in terms of pure entertainment. While the plot isn't exactly original (sharing tonal similarities with 'Clue' and the comedy-thriller 'Date Night') there are enough thrills to keep you amused. Strong lead performances from Bateman and McAdams elevate the material, making the experience extremely enjoyable. A few twists have been thrown in that I'm sure viewers will eat up, and they're surprising enough to keep the plot interesting. But most of all, 'Game Night' is a super easy watch, mainly because the characters are pretty charming (even if they're borderline cheesy at times). Max and Annie often gather with their friends Ryan (Billy Magnussen) and the married duo Kevin (Lamorne Morris) and Michelle Sterling (Kylie Bunbury) for game nights, all while trying to keep these gatherings hidden from their socially awkward neighbor, Gary Kingsbury (Jesse Plemons), who's a police officer dealing with a difficult divorce. Plemons, as always, doesn't even need to say a word to make his characters feel incredibly unique. Gary, in this case, comes across as quietly unsettling, but you can't help but be amused at his incredibly odd nature. The group as a whole has a compelling dynamic, and their interactions make it easy to overlook a somewhat basic plot. It's just a fun time. 'Game Night' is an entertaining watch, but if there's one reason I'd recommend it to anyone, it's for the visuals alone. I'm not well-versed in cinematography, but the camera shots and creative choices throughout most scenes are such a joy to watch. Of course, everything else is good too. I'm just someone who's easily impressed by a visually pleasing movie. Don't take my word for it either. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, 'Game Night' has a solid score of 85%, with the site's critics consensus reading: 'With a talented cast turned loose on a loaded premise and a sharp script loaded with dark comedy and unexpected twists, Game Night might be more fun than the real thing.' You should stream 'Game Night' on Prime Video now for a genuinely fun ride. Otherwise, see our general guide on the best Prime Video movies worth watching.

No Duh: Suze Orman on Why Parents Shouldn't Be Paying Their Adult Kids' Phone Bills
In one of the most famous — and funniest — scenes from the 2010s-era HBO comedy series 'Girls,' perpetually petulant slacker and aspiring 'voice of a generation' Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) sits across from her parents as they cut her off financially. While Hannah has spent hours at an unpaid internship, bopping around Brooklyn and discovering herself, Mom and Dad have been footing the bill for everything — including her phone. Up Next: For You: 'We can't keep bankrolling your groovy lifestyle,' Mom says, prompting Hannah to insist that she's so close to the life she wants, her parents shouldn't end it now. The scene resonates because it has played out thousands of times in households around the country. Suze Orman, personal finance expert and best-selling author, would likely support Hannah's parents in their choice to make her stand on her own two feet — even if she's generally more in favor of starting with small, gradual steps. In a recent LinkedIn post, Orman emphasized how important it is for parents to stop paying for even seemingly small expenses, like phone bills, to help their children become more financially independent. Orman understands why parents are so tempted to help young adults. After all, cell phone bills and streaming services seem like relatively minor expenses — so why not make your kids' lives easier by covering them? However, Orman urges parents to flip their perspective: If the amount is truly small, that's exactly why young adults should be paying it themselves. Learning to manage even modest bills helps build a strong financial foundation. 'If it's a manageable amount, it won't be hard for them to take on. And that's a key step toward financial independence,' Orman wrote. 'Maybe it's the first bill they put on auto-pay — helping them build responsible habits and a strong credit score. Every step counts on the road to financial freedom!' Learn More: Hannah's parents may have had the right idea, but forcing her into total financial independence without helping her establish a financial safety net first might not be the wisest approach. Orman isn't against parents offering some financial help to their adult children, but she believes it should be structured to help young adults develop financial skills. In addition to having young adults pay for their own phone bills, streaming services, and car insurance, Orman says that adult children who move back home should chip in toward household expenses. Parents don't need to charge their twentysomethings the equivalent of a full market-rate mortgage or rent payment — after all, if they could afford rent, they wouldn't be living at home — but getting them in the habit of budgeting a certain amount to make 'rent' each month helps instill financial discipline. If parents genuinely don't need the extra money, they can always set aside their child's 'rent payments' and later return the funds as the foundation for an emergency savings account. As your children become adults — goodness, where did the time go? — you're nearing the age where retirement planning becomes even more critical. To ensure your own future, you simply can't remain open as the Bank of Mom and Dad. Orman stresses that while parents should encourage their kids to build financial independence, they must also stay focused on their own financial goals — especially retirement. Think of it this way: You've worked hard to build your financial security, and just as your adult children are in their own self-discovery periods, you have the right to start one of your own.
