One trip to the movie theater might not be enough this month. A-list celebs like Cate Blanchett, Mila Kunis and Steve Carell are all starring in new releases you won't want to miss.

Looking to stay in? If you couldn't get enough of "Handmaid's Tale," you might want to block off a few hours to watch a brand new Margaret Atwood series on Netflix. And as you binge, whip out that laptop and get to holiday shopping, starting with Oprah's annual Favorite Things list just released on Amazon.

Get the scoop on films, TV shows and Hollywood news being buzzed about this month.

What To Watch This Weekend

Action fans can get pumped for the big-screen release of "Thor: Ragnarok" this weekend, as Chris Hemsworth faces off against Cate Blanchett to win a Norse war of intergalactic proportions. You can also get your laugh on with Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Kathryn Hahn, who are causing plenty of hilarious trouble in "A Bad Moms Christmas." Here's what else is in theaters right now.

Greta Gerwig Is A Star In Front Of The Camera And Behind It

While you might know her as the star in films like "Frances Ha" and "Mistress America," Greta Gerwig has been spending time behind the camera these days, writing and directing her latest film "Lady Bird."

The coming-of-age film, which stars Irish actress Saoirse Ronan as a teen itching to leave her Sacramento home for an exciting East Coast life, explores the complex relationship between mothers and daughters while giving some love to Gerwig's hometown. "I grew up in Sacramento, and I love Sacramento," Gerwig said. "The film represents my desire to write a love letter to a place that only came into focus after I left." See Gerwig's full interview here.

New On Netflix

Halloween might be over, but that doesn't mean Netflix is slowing down with its lineup of scary movies and shows. All this month you can catch spooky flicks like "Men in Black," "Casper," "Silent Hill" and "Oculus."

The streaming giant is also releasing some buzzy original programming, including the highly-anticipated "The Punisher" from the Marvel universe and "Alias Grace," a miniseries about an Irish immigrant/murderess that -- like the Emmy-winning "Handmaid's Tale" -- is also based on a Margaret Atwood novel. Check out the full November Netflix roster.

More Accusers Speak Out Against Kevin Spacey

Earlier this week, Kevin Spacey issued a public apology to Anthony Rapp, who had accused him of attempting to molest him in 1986 when the "Star Trek: Discovery" actor was just 14.

Rapp's statement seems to have encouraged others to come forward and share their own stories of alleged sexual misconduct by Spacey. For example, U.S. filmmaker Tony Montana told Radar Online that Spacey grabbed his crotch in a Los Angeles bar in 2003, after which he suffered from PTSD for six months.

Spacey is reportedly seeking treatment in response to these allegations. His publicist told The New York Times that the actor "is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment." See the other accusers' stories.
