Andy Serkis’ new animated film Animal Farm has a different ending than the original novel.

With so many heroes in Avengers: Doomsday, there’s potential for exciting and surprising team-ups. Pairings like Doctor Strange with Mister Fantastic, The Thing with Hulk, or Captain America with Cyclops feel natural and could become memorable moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe if Marvel Studios chooses to explore them.

Drone footage is now commonplace, which makes the way it’s used in the new documentary Our Land particularly striking. The film powerfully investigates the murder of Chuschagasta leader Javier Chocobar, who was killed in 2009 while defending his community’s Indigenous land rights against miners. It’s also the first documentary by acclaimed Argentine director Lucrecia Martel, known for her films exploring class and colonial history through a personal lens. Here, she examines power dynamics by revealing how those in control shape historical narratives and accepted truths. The men accused of Chocobar’s murder—who used their connections to claim the Chuschagasta land—present blurry camcorder footage of the incident as proof of their innocence. They also rely on official records that falsely claim the Indigenous population was eliminated, conveniently dismissing their present-day claims.

What really made The Mummy different from other adventure movies trying to copy Indiana Jones – and helped it become such a huge franchise – was how many memorable lines it had. The film is full of quotes that people still use today, ensuring its place as a classic blockbuster for generations.

I remember a real turning point for Anne Hathaway being when she won her Oscar – it felt like a dream come true. But strangely, the internet seemed determined to focus on negativity. It’s easy to say she’s been in some clunkers, and that fuels the criticism. But honestly, she’s been amazing in so many roles, even within not-so-great films! There were times watching her weaker movies – or even when she hosted the Oscars – where I just wanted to shout, “It’s not her fault!” Thankfully, she’s really come into her own since then, taking on fascinating, challenging roles and even finding success with some big hits. She’s had a few misses, sure, but she still manages to shine in everything she does. Her career is so much more interesting now, and while some people still hold onto their negativity, those of us who always believed in her talent have been proven right. She truly deserves to be considered one of the greats.

Netflix is continuing to deliver strong content, with a solid lineup of new shows planned for 2026. Highlights include the upcoming comedy series Big Mistakes from Dan Levy, the suspenseful thriller Run Away by Harlan Coben, and a new adaptation of Lord of the Flies, which will be available next week. Plus, popular series like Bridgerton and Beef are returning with new seasons, making them worth watching too.

Public reaction to Paramount’s potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has been largely negative. On April 30th, Paramount subscribers initiated a lawsuit in federal court in California, aiming to halt the merger and reverse parts of Paramount’s recent purchase of Skydance.

On Ladies of London: The New Reign, the star was likely commenting on her hair – a beautiful, freshly highlighted style with pin curls. While the look didn’t really resemble that of the former prime minister (who some people loved and others disliked), her co-stars, Myka Meier and Lottie Kane, quickly assured her of that. Both were impressed with her new haircut and color. Martha then showed them how she created her bouncy curls, and Lottie suggested she go even blonder, perhaps a platinum blonde like Marilyn Monroe.

Directed by Nathan Greno, who co-directed Tangled, and based on a story by John Whittington (Sonic the Hedgehog 3) and Christian Magalhaes and Robert Snow (both known for DuckTales), the movie follows Ollie and Ivy. They come from species that are naturally rivals – mammals and birds – but discover magical pods that switch their bodies. Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple lead a talented voice cast that also includes Cedric the Entertainer, Tracy Morgan, and Justina Machado.

Ethan Sacks recently expanded the backstory of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, originally designed to fit into the sequel trilogy, by revealing a previous adventure featuring Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader. Now, Marvel is preparing to share another untold story, this time focusing on Cassian Andor and detailing his last mission before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
