Minority Mindset

I wasn’t going into the Berlin Film Festival screening of Tom Morello and Sam Dunn’s documentary, The Ballad of Judas Priest, as someone who didn’t care. I’ve been to many premieres, but even I was a little thrilled to see Rob Halford in person – at 74, he’s still a commanding presence and a true metal icon. The film is really made for fans; it’s a celebration of the band rather than a critical investigation. It starts with Jack Black dramatically reciting the lyrics to “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’” as if it were Shakespeare, and that level of enthusiastic fandom carries throughout the movie.

In the 2010 film Tron: Legacy, Cillian Murphy briefly appears as Edward Dillinger Jr., the leader of ENCOM’s software designers and the son of a former ENCOM executive played by David Warner in the original 1982 Tron movie. However, Murphy did not reprise his role in the 2025 film Tron: Ares.

Though he’s known for serious, dramatic roles, Robert Duvall also appeared in a handful of comedies, like Secondhand Lions and Four Christmases. In 2005, he and Will Ferrell starred together in Kicking & Screaming. While critics weren’t overly impressed with the film, many consider it a hidden gem that reveals Duvall’s lighter, comedic talent.

PlayStation is closing Bluepoint Games, according to a report by Jason Schreier of Bloomberg. Bluepoint Games is known for beautifully recreating older titles, like their remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls. PlayStation says the decision, made after a recent evaluation of its businesses, will result in the studio’s closure in March.

Disney has announced that Jeff Bergman will be the new voice of Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 5, and Anna Vocino will be voicing Mrs. Potato Head.

Generally, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man feels like typical Peaky Blinders: Tommy Shelby, despite wanting to leave his criminal past behind, is pulled back into trouble in Birmingham. He’s the only one who can resolve it using his intelligence and willingness to use force. The show has a history of casting well-known actors as villains—think Paddy Considine, Sam Neill, Adrien Brody, and Anya Taylor-Joy—and this time, Tommy’s opponent is his own son, played by Barry Keoghan.

The trailer begins with young Bonnie playing with the toys she received in Toy Story 3. She’s playfully imagining a wedding, but quickly loses interest when a new tablet, called “Lilypad,” arrives. The Lilypad immediately grabs Bonnie’s attention, and it mockingly tells the older toys that Bonnie needs something more modern. Fortunately, Woody returns – a little thinner on top – and teams up with Buzz to save the toys from being replaced by technology.

This lesser-known Star Wars film came out in 2008. It was an animated movie designed to connect the second and third prequel films. Although it only made around $68 million at the box office, the movie is significant because it introduced a now-famous character.
