If you are a Silver the Hedgehog fan like myself, then get ready to make some noise because our future is getting its own game! I came across this exciting news when I came across TikTok content creator ChristianDunson48 (will include his link), who talks about the project in development.

Underrated Action Movies Worth Seeing Again
Being raised on the action genre made me who I am today. I grew up hearing stories about John McLane and his catchphrase that I was never allowed to repeat. Hearing about the tales of John Rambo and his missions. But over the years of being a movie buff, I’ve found some interesting action gems that don’t get enough credit. These are not in a particular order but I’d like to think they are all number one in my action movie loving heart.

My First Reactions of 'Spider-Man' (2002)
If you're new to Vocal and have recently read at least one of my stories, I'm a nostalgic freak. I'm not exaggerating when I say that, because it's true. Let's take a trip back to the year 2002. There was a plethora of pop culture events that we enjoyed during that year: Avril Lavigne's hit "Complicated" was a breakout success, Halle Berry became the first Black actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, Ben Affleck was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive, and the infamous breakup of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. However, there was one pop culture event that would be the talk of movie buffs everywhere. That event was the release of Spider-Man. Based on the Marvel Comics featuring the titular character, it was released in theaters on May 3, 2002, and produced by Columbia Pictures (now Sony Pictures Entertainment). It starred Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco. The movie follows Peter Parker (Maguire) who gains abilities after being bitten by a spider and becomes Spider-Man. The movie grossed a total of $827 million at the box office. It is now the highest-grossing Sony superhero film. Spider-Man was released in 2024 to honor the 100th anniversary of Columbia Pictures. As of this writing, it has a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, proof that it's still relevant in pop culture. May 2027 will mark the 25th anniversary of the film's release. If a re-release of the film next year were to happen, I might wear a Spider-Man suit to mark this special milestone.

Some 21st Century Thoughts on a 20th Century Icon. Top Story - May 2026.
“A girl being pretty is like a man being rich… If you had a daughter, you’d want her to marry a rich man.” Monroe’s Lorelei explains this fact of life to her potential father-in-law in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The line is expertly delivered with breathy sensuality and an underlying knowing that winks. We recognise the pouting, open-mouthed look from the plethora of images of the blonde icon.

Michael Movie Review
As arguably the greatest entertainer of all time and a landmark of 20th Century culture, Michael Jackson continues to inspire millions around the world. He had a share of big-screen outings too, beginning with The Wiz in 1978 and ending posthumously in 2009 with This Is It. Now we’re receiving a full-blown tribute simply titled Michael; it’s a biopic with many problems that overcome its entertainment factor.

Old TV and Movie Sets in California
Although Hollywood is known for its TV and movie sets, the reality is that over the years, filming has taken place all over California, from the Niles district in Fremont, where Charlie Chaplin filmed several movies, including The Tramp, to Bodega Bay, where Alfred Hitchcock gave us the chilling The Birds movie, to San Francisco, Sacramento, and numerous other locations in the state.
