Movie and TV show reviews

Could it be that “The Final Reckoning” is indeed Tom Cruise’s last outing as Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible franchise? As fans, we’ve been led to believe that this could be the swan song for our beloved IMF agent, with no definite plans for future installments announced yet. Will Ethan triumph over the AI Entity without a scratch, or will he face a tragic end in this thrilling conclusion?

Sweetheart, who owns a classic turquoise Chevrolet SS, repeatedly has to reject the advances of a local officer (portrayed by Charlie Day) by saying, “I prefer women.” While she’s telling the truth, his inability to comprehend this reveals a lot about society’s misconstrued views towards queer women. The film, on the other hand, pays tribute to its leading lady in a distinct fashion reminiscent of Tarantino and Jane Russell. In a different time, Honey might have been idolized, but in “Honey Don’t!”, her voice as deep as rich honey makes it clear that she’s the one calling the shots.

For quite some time, I’ve been eagerly following ESPN’s schedule, and they had announced the finale date for the beloved half-hour series that’s always graced their early evening programming – “Around the Horn.” Lately, the host of this classic show, Tony Reali, has been candid in his interviews about the series being terminated, even though it’s had a long and distinguished run.

John and Patrick McEnroe, renowned tennis figures, will be sharing their insights throughout Warner Bros. Discovery’s broadcast of the French Open. Most of this coverage will air on TNT cable network. During the initial days of the tournament in the afternoons, the McEnroe brothers will host a special highlight show as part of the “whip-around” coverage on truTV. After spending many years under NBC Sports, the French Open is now moving to Warner Bros. Discovery.

As a passionate cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled about the upcoming release of “Lilo & Stitch,” marking Disney’s latest venture into remaking their 2000s classics, following blockbusters like “The Lion King,” “The Little Mermaid,” and others. This revamped gem is poised to create a massive splash at the box office during the Memorial Day holiday weekend, outranking fellow new release “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.” Early predictions suggest that “Lilo & Stitch” could earn an impressive $150 million to $160 million domestically, along with approximately $125 million internationally. This would result in a staggering initial global total of $275 million to $285 million. With strong performances from previous movies like “Sinners” and “Final Destination Bloodlines,” “Lilo & Stitch” could propel the box office towards a record-breaking Memorial Day weekend.

In her “Get Ready With Me” video revealing her participation in DWTS, Alix Earle clarified that while she danced competitively through high school, she has no experience with ballroom dancing; to put it simply, she’s never tried it before. Accompanying this video, she shared a light-hearted clip of herself attempting the popular “whisk” dance trend on TikTok, which you can watch below:

As a child in the U.K., Matt Palmer, the director and co-writer of “Fear Street: Prom Queen,” wasn’t very acquainted with R. L. Stine’s teen horror novel series that initiated the Netflix film series. While they had “Goosebumps,” which was Stine’s more famous series for younger readers, “Fear Street” didn’t have as significant an influence in the U.K. as it did in other regions.

In the series ‘Supernatural’, neither death is permanent for even the main characters, as they face numerous supernatural threats across more than 15 seasons. Relationships among these characters often get tangled, with allies turning into enemies, former adversaries joining forces against a common threat, and continuing their feuds long after their initial encounters have ended. Given that ‘Supernatural’ explores multiple realities, it’s possible for previously defeated enemies to reappear in new forms. Despite Sam and Dean’s extensive background in dealing with the supernatural, some challenges prove more difficult to overcome than others.

In an interview with CinemaBlend, the director of the Lilo & Stitch remake, Camp, shared why they chose not to include the character Gantu. He explained that by focusing on the emotional journey of the Pelekai sisters, some elements from the original movie had to be left out. This adjustment ultimately made it difficult for Gantu to fit into the live-action version, a decision Camp defends. You can read his full statement below.

A substantial aspect that defined the initial film was Lilo’s fondness for Elvis Presley’s music, which was evident in its soundtrack. In Dean Fleischer Camp’s 2025 live-action remake, this essence was preserved by reusing those same songs, often at similar storytelling moments. This continuity helps to keep the original film’s charm alive for parents of the millennial generation who are now taking their children to watch the live-action adaptation, and it proves to be quite impactful.
