Daniel Alexander’s new film, Gale: Yellow Brick Road, is a take on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz that unfortunately misses the mark. At 107 minutes long, the movie relies too heavily on predictable psychological thriller clichés, features direction that feels pretentious rather than artistic, and stars a cast who seem lost about the film’s overall tone. The result is a disappointing and bizarre horror adaptation of a beloved classic.

I was immediately captivated by Juliette Lewis’s performance as Camille, a seemingly ordinary woman who becomes utterly obsessed with this incredible chair she finds in a store. The director, Amanda Kramer, really wants you to see the chair as something special, almost alive. The narrator, Melanie Griffith, constantly describes it with such human terms – she even calls it ‘The Stunner’ and talks about its ‘body,’ always emphasizing how absolutely gorgeous it is. It’s a really unique way to present things!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Coogler is currently writing the scripts for the new X-Files series. He’s said his mother’s fondness for the original show motivated him to take the job. Coogler, the director of Black Panther, admitted to the outlet that he sometimes feels overwhelmed by the pressure of meeting deadlines.

The latest Star Wars movie picks up the story from the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, where we first met Din Djarin, a serious bounty hunter in a helmet, and Grogu, his cute alien sidekick. After three seasons of adventures on Disney+, the studio decided to try something new by bringing these characters to the big screen. However, with the movie’s release just three months away, its success isn’t guaranteed.

Emerald Fennell’s new period romance stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the leads, telling a love story set in the Yorkshire moors. It’s opening on February 13th, a busy weekend for films, alongside Chris Hemsworth’s Crime 101 and the animated movie Goat.

The first issue of the Star Wars: Jar Jar comic is special because it was co-written by Ahmed Best, the actor who played Jar Jar Binks. Best is also known for playing Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, who famously rescued Grogu in The Mandalorian. Both Jar Jar and Kelleran Beq are central characters in this single-issue comic, which was also co-written by Marc Guggenheim, and features artwork by Laura Braga and Kieran McKeown.

The streaming service is looking for its next popular young adult show, especially since its successful three-part drama is planning to become a movie. With the recent conclusion of Prime Video’s hit series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, in September 2025, the platform is now seeking another romantic drama with a similar feel to fill the void.

The film Blades of the Guardians is based on the comic by Xianzhe Xu and features the legendary Yuen Woo-ping. He’s a highly influential figure in action movies, known for directing and choreographing fights in classics like Drunken Master, Fist of Legend, The Matrix, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Kill Bill, and The Grandmaster, all of which have significantly impacted how action is filmed today.

Director Christopher Nolan recently had a conversation with actor Timothée Chalamet, who asked him about the film Interstellar. This happened before a special IMAX 70mm showing of the movie at the AMC Universal Citywalk IMAX in Los Angeles.

Matt Braly, the creator of Amphibia, shared that an animated movie he’d been working on for over two years, inspired by Thai culture, has been cancelled. The studio determined it wasn’t likely to be profitable.
