Despite a slow start to the year for movie releases, things recently improved with some genuinely good films coming out. Studios seem to be adjusting to the post-pandemic movie landscape and are releasing stronger titles. Sam Raimi’s Send Help is doing well thanks to positive buzz, and last weekend brought several highly anticipated movies like the new Wuthering Heights adaptation, Sony’s animated Goat, and the critically acclaimed Crime 101. While those films still have a chance to succeed, one movie already broke the pattern of January’s typically weak releases – and audiences are about to discover what they’ve been missing.

For years, Magic: The Gathering has mostly been played with one-on-one matches. However, some versions of the game let more people play at once, like Commander, which creates exciting free-for-all battles with shifting alliances and rivalries. This new set introduces a team-based experience, and it’s themed around Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Jerry Kane traveled the country, leading seminars and giving online talks to spread the ideas of the sovereign citizen movement and questionable legal theories about debt, taxes, and the government. He preyed on people’s feelings of helplessness and anger, urging them to fight against what he called “the system.” The film contrasts Jerry and his son, Joe, with Detective John Bourchart and his son, Adam, emphasizing the differing values at play. The story culminates in a tense confrontation between the Kanes and Detective Bourchart, with devastating results.

According to Deadline, The Rookie is likely to be renewed for a ninth season, but ABC is planning budget cuts that will probably affect the show, along with others on the network.

I totally remember when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first blew up – it was the golden age of arcades, and everyone was getting consoles at home. For a lot of us fans, our first experiences with the Turtles were either struggling through that super-difficult NES game, or even better, playing the arcade game with friends. Those were the days!

Miley Cyrus shared that Hannah Montana will forever be a significant part of her life. She explained that the show grew into something much bigger, creating a connection with fans that she deeply appreciates. Cyrus is proud that the show continues to resonate with people after all these years, and she views this 20th anniversary as a chance to celebrate and show gratitude to her fans.

Since February 16th, Dark Winds has been the most popular show or movie available on AMC+, according to data from FlixPatrol. It’s remained at the top despite strong competition from other shows like Tales of the Walking Dead, Interview with the Vampire, and Mad Men.

It’s not yet known exactly which executives or departments will be affected, but this decision is part of a larger trend of changes happening within the media industry in Hollywood.

I’ve been following Emerald Fennell’s work as a director, and it’s been fascinating to see her take on increasingly ambitious projects – from a small, acclaimed Sundance film with a $10 million budget, to a big, stylish thriller set in the 2000s, and even a classic novel adaptation. But I’ve been wondering which of these films is actually her best. So, I decided to rank all three, from what I think is the weakest to the strongest.

Netflix has created both of the Knives Out sequels and consistently offers a variety of murder mystery shows and films, from lighthearted and family-friendly to intensely violent. Their most popular show of 2026, His & Hers, is a dark and suspenseful murder mystery with an unexpected twist.
