WAR MACHINE (2026): New Trailer From Alan Ritchson, Joshua Diaz, Richard Cotta, Dennis Quaid…

Directed by Patrick Hughes, new action/sci-fi/thriller, War Machine is about exactly that, a war machine focused on killing the final recruits of a gruelling special ops boot camp.

The key cast includes Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Joshua Diaz and Richard Cotta.

I guess it’s time for my first Ritchson movie.

The plot is promising, and I’m curious to see how anyone survives the deadly chase. Hopefully, some memorable action sequences are in store, even though I’m not necessarily expecting them.

How many Ritchson shows/films have you seen?

Daniel Webber, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Keiynan Lonsdale, Jack Patten, Stephan James, inson, Joey Vieira, Christopher Kirby and Jacob Hohua also star.

War Machine Release Dates: March 6th, 2026 (US & UK)…

BUGONIA (2025): The Things I Liked…

The acting in director Yorgos Lanthimos’s Bugonia, a comedy/sci-fi movie about the kidnapping of a high-profile CEO by conspiracy theorists, is fantastic. 

I thoroughly enjoyed how Emma Stone was able to completely disappear into her character, and the unexpected turns the story took, a story I partly view as a love letter to Earth and to bees.

As is typical of Lanthimos’s films, Bugonia is a mixture of humour and darkness. Thankfully for me, the shift between the two isn’t as jarring as it was in The Lobster (2015). Still, as hilarious as it was to watch some of the conspiracy theory madness unfold, unsurprisingly, it was equally sobering. In fact, there came a point after the kidnapping when I was super eager for Stone’s character’s freedom. 

It may not be fully comfortable to watch throughout, but definitely give it a chance if you’re curious. It’s a good, sometimes funny story that’s so superbly acted that you’ll almost forget about the moments when the musical score is too imposing. And you’ll almost disregard a moment that appeared to be a continuity error, where Stone’s character is supposed to be limping but isn’t. 

Aidan Delbis, Jesse Plemons, and Alicia Silverstone round out a seriously talented cast.

Have you seen Bugonia yet?

LOVE STORY – JOHN F. KENNEDY JR. & CAROLYN BESSETTE (2026): New Trailer Starring Sarah Pidgeon, Paul Anthony Kelly, Naomi Watts, Grace Gummer…

Sarah Pidgeon, Paul Anthony Kelly, Grace Gummer and Naomi Watts are the stars of Love Story – John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, the latest from executive producer Ryan Murphy and creator Connor Hines.

The whirlwind courtship and high-profile marriage of one of the most iconic couples of the 20th century, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, is at the heart of this 9-episode series

Well-made is how this looks. Congrats to the trailer editor(s) and those in charge of casting.

Since this clearly isn’t a documentary, I wonder which parts of the story the writers have taken liberties with and invented.

I’ll likely be watching something more cheerful around Valentine’s Day, but I probably will get to this at some point.

How’s this looking to you?

Naomi Watts, Ben Shenkman, Alessandro Nivola, Erich Bergen, Sydney Lemmon, Lily Lester, Noah Fearnley, Dree Hemingway, Richard Hollis, Aaron Dean Eisenberg, Leila George, Ronan Alexander Moriarty, Tonatiuh, Omari K. Chancellor and Adam Grupper also star.

Love Story – John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette  Release Dates: February 12th, 2026 (US); 13th February, 2026 (UK)…

The official trailer for director Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, has arrived.

Bring on the music and all the great performances. I’m also ready for all the strong history-making characters here.

Lastly, I look forward to watching Michael follow his heart to bring to light all his musical ideas.

May the prosthetics only prove to be minimally distracting, if at all.

Miles Teller, Jaafar Jackson, Nia Long, Colman Domingo, Kat Graham, Larenz Tate, Juliano Krue Valdi, Tony von Halle, Derek Luke, Jessica Sula, Hank Northrop, Joe Gillette, Laura Harrier, Nathaniel Logan McIntyre and Joseph David-Jones also star.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 (2026): New Trailer Starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Sydney Sweeney, Emily Blunt…

The trailer for the long-awaited sequel to Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep’s 2006 hit, The Devil Wears Prada, is finally here.

Set several years after the cynical Miranda Priestly and her former assistant Andy Sachs go their separate ways, one of Miranda’s former assistants is now a rival executive, and so the struggle begins.

It’s certainly great to see these characters back together again. I’m looking forward to all the fashion and the fact that part of the film is set in beautiful Italy.

What I’m surprised by is that this trailer doesn’t quite have me as excited as I thought it might. A part of me wants to blame it on having seen the musical The Devil Wears Prada in London, England, last summer, which still feels relatively recent. And since I’m generally not that into musicals, the main draw was seeing Vanessa Williams in the flesh as Miranda Priestley. Plus, it was a friend’s birthday gift. Nonetheless, I’m hopeful for a good time with this long-overdue sequel.

How does this trailer have you feeling?

Lucy Liu, Stanley Tucci, Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, Tracie Thoms, Lady Gaga, B.J. Novak, Rachel Bloom, Simone Ashley, Pauline Chalamet, Karolina Kurkova, Conrad Ricamora, Patrick Brammall and Caleb Hearon also star.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Release Dates: May 1st, 2026 (US)…
