Movie Reviews and Previews Paul Rudd’s Power Ballad One of the grumpiest things about me is that I just do not jive with John Carney’s music-inspired feel-good cinema. Once? Nonce, thank you. Sing Street? Silence beat, please. His latest film, Power Ballad, stars Paul Rudd as a flop wedding singer who writes a song with an ex-boy By Sarah • Mar 12, 2026 02:27 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Toy Story 5 is going to make us contemplate aging Last year was dogsh-t at the box office, but one of the bright spots was Zootopia 2, Disney’s in-house authorized furry fanfic, which became Hollywood’s biggest animated film of all time—a necessary distinction as Ne Zha 2 is still reigning biggest animated film, period. Even when the By Sarah • Feb 20, 2026 02:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Mandalorian and Grogu puts spectacle before character Rather than debut a new trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, Disney/Lucasfilm’s great hope for summer 2026, during the Super Bowl, Disney opted to do a riff on Budweiser commercials, which did not move the needle at all.

Movie Reviews and Previews Yearning and gloop in “Wuthering Heights” Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” (“based” on the “novel” by “Emily Brontë”) is not a faithful adaptation of that novel; it’s full of deliberately anachronistic choices, and it has a very specific style palette that you will either love or hate.

Movie Reviews and Previews Ready Or Not 2 does the thing In 2019 Ready Or Not, starring Samara Weaving and Adam Brody, was a sleeper hit. It’s a fun horror/genre movie with a batty premise executed well, about a bride who must survive her murderous in-laws. It’s a lot of fun. It also now has a sequel, the By Sarah • Feb 06, 2026 02:07 pm
