🍿 ‘Crime 101’: the perfect heist on L.A.’s asphalt veins

What really grabs me about ‘Crime 101’ is its confidence. This looks like a sleek, old-school heist thriller, soaked in sun, concrete and quiet obsession. Chris Hemsworth (‘Thor’, ‘Extraction’) dials down the superhero swagger and plays it cool as an elusive jewel thief who treats Los Angeles like a chessboard. He’s restrained, methodical, and surprisingly convincing in this colder register 💎🚔

Mark Ruffalo (‘Zodiac’, ‘Spotlight’) is right at home as a dogged detective convinced there’s a hidden pattern everyone else is missing. Halle Berry (‘Monster’s Ball’, ‘Die another day’) brings real weight and allure as a disillusioned insurance broker standing at a personal breaking point. And whenever Barry Keoghan (‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, ‘Saltburn’) shows up, you know trouble isn’t far behind.

Bart Layton, coming off the brilliant ‘American Animals’, clearly understands the anatomy of obsession and risk. There’s a strong modern ‘Heat’ energy here 🔥. Yes, the trailer might reveal a bit too much, but I’ll gladly take that if it means this kind of adult, theatrical crime film is back on the big screen. Stylish, tense, and refreshingly cinematic 🎬.

🍿 Yoshi steps into the spotlight… and Nintendo hits the fan-service accelerator

First look at Yoshi in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the character works 🦖… he doesn’t speak, he just grunts, and that’s the right call. It stays true to the games and avoids turning him into yet another chatty Illumination mascot.

The trailer once again feels more Odyssey than Galaxy, leaning heavily on a parade of references: Birdo, Mouser, babies, power-up suits, a T-Rex… too much at once 🎮

The classic music does peek through, but I still doubt it’ll be respected all the way through 🎶. There’s potential, sure, but also the sense that this franchise may be getting overloaded a bit too fast.

🍿 🍿 'Lord of the Flies': BBC adapts Golding's most disturbing classic

📆 Release: February 8, 2026 (UK)
🎭 Genre: #Drama · #Thriller
✈️ Add to watchlist

Jack Thorne ('Adolescence') and Marc Munden turn William Golding's novel into a four-episode miniseries. British schoolboys stranded on an island with no adults, order crumbling into tribalism and violence. The timeless classic, but with a cast of over 30 young actors and a killer soundtrack: Cristobal Tapia de Veer ('The White Lotus') scores the series while Hans Zimmer ('Dune') composed the main theme 🎼.

The trailer already nails that suffocating atmosphere the material demands. If they captured the descent into chaos and loss of innocence right, this could be the best adaptation yet. 'Yellowjackets' fans, mark your calendars 🐚🔥.

🍿 Cliff Booth is back, and it doesn’t feel like a fever dream

📆 Release: Coming soon

Netflix 📺 dropped the teaser for The Adventures of Cliff Booth during the Super Bowl, and it’s still hard to believe this is real. Brad Pitt returns to the role that earned him an Oscar in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, this time front and center and firmly set in the 1970s. The real power move isn’t the comeback itself, but who’s behind it: David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) directing a script by Quentin Tarantino. A bizarre pairing… and a dangerously compelling one.

The footage hints at a darker Cliff, less nostalgia, more grit: bars, racing, playful censorship, implied violence, and a less romanticized Hollywood. Fincher runs Tarantino’s universe through his cold, surgical lens, and that could be gold or pure dynamite, but it won’t be boring.

Netflix going all in? Massive budget, a Super Bowl teaser, and an iconic character back behind the wheel. This feels like a high-end cinephile indulgence 🎬🔥.

🍿 'Dune: Part Three' explodes: IMAX tickets sold out in minutes… 7 months early!

The hype for 'Dune: Part Three' is absolutely massive. The first batch of IMAX 70mm tickets, limited to just one daily screening in select theaters, sold out within minutes. In London, they lasted less than 10 minutes, and in other cities websites crashed, leaving many fans empty-handed. 🤯

What’s most striking is that these tickets went on sale seven months in advance… and people are already planning trips to other cities just to experience it in 70mm. Very few films generate this level of anticipation. 'Dune' is already playing in the league of true cinematic events. 🍿

🍿 ‘Street Fighter’ is shaping up to be the most wildly fun ride of the year

This trailer won me over for one very simple reason... it understands the franchise doesn’t need to take itself too seriously to work. Kitao Sakurai, director of ‘Bad Trip’, dives headfirst into color, excess, and that pure ‘90s arcade spirit, with a chaotic Ken played by Noah Centineo (‘The Recruit’) and a rock-solid Ryu from Andrew Koji (‘Warrior’).

What I love most is that it fully embraces its craziest side. Jason Momoa as Blanka, 50 Cent as Balrog, and David Dastmalchian (‘The Suicide Squad’) as M. Bison. Sure, the trailer gives away a bit too much and I’m not expecting a particularly tight script, but if the fights deliver and it keeps that playful, over-the-top tone, this could be one of those delightfully dumb movies you enjoy with a grin from start to finish.
