Emerald Fennell’s new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights sparked debate, particularly regarding the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff instead of an actor of color. It opened over Valentine’s Day weekend alongside the animated sports film GOAT from Sony Pictures Animation. Wuthering Heights topped the box office with $32.8 million – the best opening weekend of any domestic film this year – but GOAT wasn’t far behind, earning $27.2 million.

The highly anticipated 2027 film continues the story started in the 2025 live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake. It also draws inspiration from the 2014 animated sequel, with the original writer and director, Dean DeBlois, back at the helm alongside most of the original actors. Cate Blanchett will reprise her role as Hiccup’s mother, Valka, and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Phil Dunster will join the cast as the villains, Drago and Eret.

Scrubs is a funny medical show that originally ran from 2001 to 2010, following the lives of young doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital, especially a character named J.D. Even though it was a comedy, the show was known for being surprisingly realistic. Now, 16 years after it ended, Scrubs is back with a revival, and critics seem to love it – it currently has an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The beginning of the 2009 Star Trek movie is amazing – it always makes me tear up. I haven’t seen another film grab your emotions so quickly, and it’s always been a goal of mine to achieve that same impact. With this movie, it was especially important because we wanted the audience to connect with and feel sympathy for a Yautja, almost as if it were a person. The opening of Star Trek 09 was a huge inspiration – we really aimed for that same powerful emotional response right from the start.

Compared to other recent Star Wars shows, Andor really stood out. While the franchise has had trouble regaining its original audience, Andor was praised by critics and, crucially, won over fans in a way many newer installments hadn’t.

Unfortunately, the recent February State of Play presentation didn’t include any updates on Bloodborne. This means the popular game remains exclusive to PlayStation 4 and 5.

Movies like Enola Holmes, starring Millie Bobby Brown, show us how people see Sherlock Holmes today. We’re seeing fewer direct adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle’s original stories, and these new versions often have only a loose connection to the source material. Like recent Sherlock Holmes TV shows, the next film needs to make one important change to stay relevant.
