THE HUB

SPOILER WARNING: This review contains major spoilers for Netflix's Animals. Netflix's Animals had all the ingredients for a gripping political thriller. Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington leading the cast? Check. A kidnapping involving a political family? Check. Gillian Anderson playing a mysterious fixer, with Steven Yeun thrown into the mix as a shady campaign manager? Sign me up. Unfortunately, somewhere between its promising setup and increasingly ridiculous conclusion, Ani

Written and directed by Chris Rock, Misty Green takes place in Los Angeles and follows Misty Green, played by Rosalind Eleazar, a down-on-her-luck actress who is running out of time. She has seven days to get her belongings out of her late ex-boyfriend’s house, she’s dealing with an eviction, her bipolar brother needs bail money, and she’s trying to land a role that could potentially get her career back on track. Oh, and somehow she keeps finding time to make some absolutely

I went into Heart of the Beast thinking this may suck, especially after I was let down by The Dog Stars. Yes, I know they are two completely different films that just so happen to feature a man and his dog on the key art, but I couldn’t help making the comparison. Thankfully, I left Heart of the Beast feeling completely different. The film stars Brad Pitt as James Belmont, a veteran and retired Army Special Forces officer who wants to spend time with his former combat dog, Od

My daughter dragged me to see Buddy, and I only agreed because we made a deal: if she watched E.T., I would go see Buddy with her. After sitting through it, I would like my money back. I should probably start by admitting that I am not a horror movie person, but Buddy is not really a traditional horror movie anyway. It plays more like a horror comedy, poking fun at the bright, overly cheerful children’s television shows many of us grew up watching. Think Barney & Friends, exc

Forgotten Island is a story that really comes down to one simple message: your best friend is worth fighting for. Releasing in theaters everywhere on Friday, September 25, 2026, this new animated adventure from DreamWorks stars H.E.R. as Jo, with Bailey playing the younger version of the character, and Liza Soberano as Raissa, with Kayla Teruel voicing her younger version. These two young women have grown up together in the Philippines, and their friendship is at the center o

I never thought I would see Magenta and Blue Beetle kissing, but this movie gave me a DC crossover! Sandra Bullock always gets a new man, and well, I get it!! She looks amazing!!! Also this film feels like a soft reboot of the franchise. The Owens sisters are back for another adventure, and while this one doesn’t really raise the stakes all that much, I still found myself enjoying it. I’m going to be honest, I just watched the first Practical Magic Monday afternoon. While I e

There’s something comforting about seeing the Why Did I Get Married? crew together again. These are characters audiences have known for years, and Why Did I Get Married Again? understands that nostalgia is a huge part of why people are showing up for another chapter. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed spending time with this group again, I walked away wishing the writing had given them a stronger reason to return. The movie catches up with the couples years after we last saw them

There are certain subjects I tend to stay away from when it comes to movies, and stories centered on racism in the Deep South and the Ku Klux Klan are usually high on that list. It is not because those stories should not be told, they absolutely should but because they can be emotionally exhausting to sit through, especially when we already know how ugly this chapter of American history was. So I went into By Any Means knowing the subject matter probably wasn't going to be an

Newest raunchy comedy that I actually like! I honestly wasn't expecting much going into Idiots, but this movie surprised me. It's the kind of raunchy comedy that knows exactly what it wants to be, and thankfully, it doesn't take itself too seriously. There are plenty of ridiculous moments, some completely unhinged characters, and a surprisingly good story underneath all of the craziness. The movie opens with O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s character, Davis, getting scolded by a pastor a

Going into The Dog Stars completely blind might have been the best way to experience it. I hadn't watched a trailer, never read Peter Heller's novel and knew very little beyond what could be gathered from the key art. Clearly, something had gone very wrong with the world, but based on the title and imagery, I expected a relatively straightforward post apocalyptic story about a man trying to survive alongside his dog. Well, I got part of that right. Ridley Scott's The Dog Star

The Wayans Brothers are bringing the jokes home. Paramount+ has announced that the new Scary Movie will begin streaming exclusively on the service September 3, giving fans another chance to watch the latest installment of the beloved horror parody franchise from their couches. The sixth Scary Movie arrives more than 13 years after Scary Movie 5 and 26 years after the original movie introduced audiences to a franchise that made turning horror movie clichés into comedy look rid

The Why Did I Get Married? crew is getting back together, and whew, after 16 years, you just know these folks have some catching up to do. Netflix has released the official trailer for Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again?, giving fans a much better look at the long-awaited return of one of Perry’s most recognizable movie franchises. The new film arrives globally on Netflix September 9, 2026, with Perry returning as writer, director and star. The movie brings back severa

Never thought I'd see Obi-Wan and Catwoman fighting dinosaurs, but I'm here for it! While they may have used some questionable promotional techniques, this film does not disappoint. The End of Oak Street combines time travel with dinosaurs and basically gives you Jurassic World on crack!! I went into this movie with pretty mid expectations, but I am pleased to say that I loved every minute of this film. The movie is set in 1982 in a small town on Oak Street. It starts with a

This review contains spoilers. Destin Daniel Cretton has now given us three amazing superhero projects with Shang-Chi, Wonder Man, and now Spider-Man: Brand New Day. At this point give him the keys to the entire Spider-Verse! This is officially my favorite Tom Holland Spider-Man film, and that's saying a lot because I've genuinely loved every installment in the Home trilogy. Destin and Tom really crafted a love letter to Spider-Man fans with this story. That's just my humble

Nicholas Alexander Chavez is officially trading family secrets and courtroom drama for literal demons. The former General Hospital breakout star has officially joined the stacked cast of Paramount Pictures' upcoming remake of Possession. For anyone who has been tracking his rise since he walked away from Port Charles, this career jump makes perfect sense. The Ultimate Cult Classic Upgrade Remaking a supernatural horror classic is always a risky gamble. The original 1981 Posse

Is it getting warm in here, or is that just the internet melting over the brand-new Thomas Crown Affair trailer? Amazon MGM Studios just dropped the first official teaser for the highly anticipated heist thriller, and to absolutely no one's surprise, Michael B. Jordan is proving once again that he looks incredible in a bespoke suit while committing high-stakes grand larceny. This isn't your daddy’s 1968 Steve McQueen classic, nor is it a carbon copy of the slick 1999 Pierce B

Netflix is bringing a new coming-of-age story to the screen, and Don’t Say Good Luck is already giving fans plenty to talk about. The upcoming Netflix movie arrives August 14, 2026, and puts Sunny Sandler front and center in her biggest role yet, surrounded by a cast that makes this one of the streamer’s more intriguing summer releases. Because apparently Netflix looked at a heartfelt teenage drama about chasing dreams, family struggles, and figuring yourself out and thought,

Kevin Hart is back with a new Netflix comedy, and this time he is joined by Teyana Taylor, who plays his girlfriend, until she dumps him. The movie starts with Kevin Hart's character, Joe, being added to a random group chat that includes some very explicit photos. Joe decides to respond to the group, and instead of just ignoring it, he actually tries to help them. He even sends them $200, which eventually leads to him being invited to Miami. Joe works at an advertising compan

Some stories find their creators. Others practically demand to be told. For actress, writer, and first-time director Stacey Sargeant, Stand Clear the Closing Doors was born from an unsettling encounter on a New York City subway that stayed with her long after the train ride ended. Rather than letting the experience become another frustrating memory, Sargeant transformed it into a deeply personal short film that made its world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival. During an i

Christopher Nolan has done it again. The Odyssey is easily one of the best movies I've seen this year. Taking one of the oldest stories ever told isn't an easy task, especially when so many people already know the major moments, but Nolan somehow makes it feel fresh while still staying true to what made the story so iconic in the first place. When I say he put his own twist on it, I'm mainly talking about the casting choices. On paper, some of these actors probably weren't wh
