Movie and TV show reviews

This month, “Babygirl” on Max and “Mufasa: The Lion King” on Disney+ are highly anticipated additions to streaming services. “Babygirl”, an A24 erotic drama starring Nicole Kidman, garnered over $30 million at the domestic box office during the holiday season following her winning acting accolades at the Venice Film Festival, National Board of Review, and more. Meanwhile, “Mufasa: The Lion King” is expected to captivate family audiences throughout April after its release on Disney+ at the end of March.

Leaders from both unions and businesses are advocating for new laws to significantly increase California’s production tax credit, potentially doubling it from $330 million to $750 million. Additionally, they aim to expand the program to accommodate various types of projects such as sitcoms, animation, and other forms of entertainment. Governor Gavin Newsom first suggested this change in October, but the legislation must navigate through a legislature dealing with multiple pressing issues before it can be passed.

2025 is being hailed as a comeback year for movie theaters, with operators and Hollywood studios anticipating a resurgence of ticket sales due to an influx of superhero movies, star-studded productions, and fantasy epics. However, revenues have dropped by 10% compared to 2024, as films like “Snow White” and “Mickey 17” failed to impress at the box office. Who is responsible for this shortfall?

Originating from the remnants of RKSS, a Canadian filmmaking group known for “Turbo Kid” and “Summer of 84”, comes a grittier, less pompous English-language thriller. Unlike Bertrand Bonello’s “Nocturama,” the 2016 art film about militant Parisian hipsters hiding in a department store after planting bombs, this movie is more about a group of rebellious youths retaliating against a corporation that exploits rainforests for products like complex and confusing Kallax shelves and Järvfjället chairs. Here, the dozen kids take action instead of hiding and causing destruction in a newly renovated store headquarters.

Despite being just shadows, Ebon Moss-Bachrach portrays The Thing, Vanessa Kirby takes on the Invisible Woman role, Pedro Pascal is Mr. Fantastic, and Joseph Quinn embodies the Human Torch in this scene. Unfortunately, H.E.R.B.I.E. the Robot couldn’t make it for this particular shot.

In the final episode of “The White Lotus,” created by Mike White, many lingering queries are set to be resolved and clarified, marking a significant conclusion for the show’s third season.

Among the highly anticipated movies is “Mountainhead,” set to debut on HBO/Max on May 31st, from Jesse Armstrong, who’s best known for his Emmy-winning series “Succession.” This will be his first significant project post-“Succession,” and fans are eager to see how Armstrong’s biting satire style translates into a new medium. Additionally, HBO/Max has other intriguing titles lined up, such as “Am I OK?” starring Stephanie Allynne, Tig Notaro, and Dakota Johnson.

Back in 2005, watching “Brokeback Mountain” left a deep impression on me, and I believe it still ranks among my top two favorite films of all time. When I shared this sentiment with you, Williams, you might not have known then how much of an impact this movie would truly have. The power it carried for many gay men, including myself, was profound and enduring.

McBride has been added to the already announced main cast, which includes Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Logan Browning, Erin Richards, and Jonathan Tucker.
