This movie follows the LAPD’s Night Patrol, a tough anti-gang unit known for their extreme tactics. New officer Ethan Hawkins (Justin Long) joins the team, but his partner, Xavier Carr (Jermaine Fowler), is upset he wasn’t included. Meanwhile, Xavier’s brother, Wazi (RJ Cyler), is still involved with the Crips gang, the same one Xavier used to be a part of. This connection pulls Xavier into the dark secrets of Night Patrol, as they start targeting people he cares about – and it turns out, they’re actually vampires.

Nicolas Cage began appearing in action films in the late 1990s, quickly becoming known for movies like The Rock and Con Air. He’s continued to take on action roles in films such as Mandy and Drive Angry, but many fans still consider his 1997 film Face/Off to be his greatest action movie.

Despite being quite violent, the movie Primate kept me gripped with suspense. I also really enjoyed Troy Kotsur’s performance. He’s known for his Oscar-winning role in CODA, and here he plays Adam, the father of the main characters. He’s a writer who spends much of the film away at a book signing. Notably, Adam is deaf. Beyond simply including deaf representation, the movie portrays his deafness in a nuanced way – it’s a part of who he is, but it doesn’t define the plot or his character.

Disney parks have announced that Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge area will be updated and expanded. The changes will incorporate characters, music, and elements from the original Star Wars trilogy. This is a welcome development for fans and could potentially signal a shift in focus away from the more recent sequel trilogy.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, documentary director Martina Radwan was asked if the Duffer Brothers had ever used ChatGPT while she was around. While she wasn’t sure if one of them actually had the program open, she believes “everyone” uses it for “quick research.”

Galaxy’s Edge is getting its biggest update since it first opened! Starting April 29, 2026, the land at Disneyland will expand its storytelling beyond the time of the Resistance. Batuu will now feature characters and stories from different eras of the Star Wars universe, including the original trilogy.

The film, co-written by Birney and director Pete Ohs, takes place in Baltimore in 1987, before the internet was widespread. It centers on Conor (played by Birney), a young artist who creates images using only the 128 characters available on old computer keyboards – letters, numbers, and punctuation. Before color printers and high-quality photos, artists like Conor would painstakingly recreate pictures in black and white using these characters. People mail him photos, and he rapidly types them into his computer. His life is quite solitary; he lives with his dog, Sandy, but lacks the strong family and social connections of those who send him pictures. His neighbor, Mary, helps with groceries, and his only time outdoors is in his small, cicada-filled backyard.

Jenna Lewis-Dougherty competed in two seasons of Survivor: the first season, Borneo, and the eighth season, All-Stars. A particularly memorable moment occurred during Borneo when the contestants received letters from home, and Jenna was upset because her family hadn’t sent one. Although it’s been over 20 years since she last played, she previously competed alongside Colby Donaldson on All-Stars.

In a recent interview with Kotaku, Tim Bender of Hooded Horse stated they now include a clause in their publishing contracts prohibiting the use of AI-generated art assets, using strong language to emphasize this point. Bender clearly disapproves of AI-created artwork, and this firm stance is expected to benefit Hooded Horse and protect the company going forward.

I recently learned from Variety that Dark Horse Comics is publishing a new Avatar: The Last Airbender comic series this summer. What’s really exciting is that it’s being developed with the original creators, Bryan Konietzko and Dante DiMartino. The series, called Avatar: The Last Airbender — The Kyoshi Warriors, is written by Brandon Hoáng, and features art from BellBessa and Xanthe Buoma. Adele Matera is handling the colors, Jimmy Betancourt is doing the lettering, and Danielle Weires created the cover art.
