Many reboot series face similar challenges, like the planned Lizzie McGuire revival for Disney+. Now, as more details emerge about the cancellation of the Buffy: New Sunnydale reboot, fans are discovering a new layer to the story.
I just saw the trailer for this new movie, Balls Up, and it looks hilarious! It’s about two marketers – played by Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser – who somehow land the job of promoting a condom brand at the World Cup in Brazil. They actually do get the deal done and make it to the games! But things quickly go off the rails when Paul Walter Hauser’s character, after having a bit too much to drink, runs onto the field. Then, Wahlberg’s character accidentally blocks a goal! Seriously, the whole thing causes Brazil to lose, and the trailer shows these two guys becoming public enemies number one, with the entire country seemingly after them. It’s coming out on April 15th, and I’m already excited!
Rebecca Thomas’ film, “Wardriver,” starts with a deliberately slow burn. It’s a crime thriller that takes a while to build momentum, with the first half largely focused on the protagonist, Cole, driving around Salt Lake City while engaging in somewhat mundane activities like typing, eating lollipops, and vaping. Despite this slow pace, the script by Daniel Casey effectively establishes Cole’s isolated and lonely life, though it doesn’t immediately create a lot of dramatic tension.
I’m really hooked on the new Apple TV show! It starts with these three women – Eleanor, Mary, and Nancy – who seem like they have it all together as best friends. But then something terrible happens when Nancy is killed, and suddenly everything falls apart. It turns out there’s a lot going on beneath the surface with all of them and their relationships. The show is a miniseries with eight episodes, and I love how it really takes the time to show you what’s happening from each woman’s point of view.
The documentary offers a compelling look at a remarkable individual and prompts important questions about heroism, flaws in the justice system, and our cultural obsession with superhero narratives. While Bayan Joonam’s first film as director largely lets the subject speak for himself, some intriguing points are left unresolved. Ultimately, the film challenges us to consider why we idealize fictional heroes but often dismiss those in real life.
While it received mixed reviews (69% and 63% on Rotten Tomatoes), Solo: A Star Wars Story was the first Star Wars film not to make money in theaters. Over time, it’s largely been overlooked, and Disney quickly shifted its focus to other projects. Looking back, though, Solo is actually a stronger movie than many people recall.
I’m so excited! Paramount just dropped a new video confirming Jim Carrey is coming back as Dr. Robotnik! But that’s not all – they also revealed the title for the next movie: Sonic the Hedgehog 4. The logo is blue and pink, and it totally hints at Kristen Bell joining the cast as Amy Rose! Apparently, she’s a pink hedgehog who fights with a hammer, and as a long-time fan, I can’t wait to see her in action!
The initial trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has led some viewers to believe that a hidden cameo or two was removed before release. This speculation arose from a brief scene showing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man battling members of the Hand, a ninja group first introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the Netflix series Daredevil.
In Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #49, written by Mark Waid and Mark Russell and illustrated by Marcus To, Batman and Superman find themselves stranded on Earth-3. This alternate world is a warped reflection of their own, where everything is reversed – villains are the good guys, and heroes are the bad. When Superman and Batman are captured, they’re at the mercy of their evil doppelgangers, Ultraman and Owlman.
