With You in the Future 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Elena (Sandra Echeverría) and Carlos (Michel Brown) are getting divorced. They are both very happy to finally be free of each other, until they remember how Cupid made a mistake in bringing them together and then Cupid magically appears taking them back to the night they met. The Spanish-language romantic comedy starts off fast and funny and then turns weirdly horrifying.

The first half makes good use of time travel. The older characters come face to face with their younger selves, they can talk to them and interact with them. For them, it's simple, they just have to avoid falling in love. The younger duo is inherently drawn to each other and brings a very light and whimsical romance to the fun and funny premise.

Director: Roberto Girault
Writer: Roberto Girault
Stars: Javier Adrián, Marypaz Aparicio, Harold Azuara

The more we try to stop the younger Elena and Carlos from falling in love, the more the movie becomes too extreme. The older Elena, out of nowhere, decides she needs a gun, so she finds a pistol. The climactic scene that represents the turning point of the film is supposed to be funny (I think), but it involves terrorizing young Carlos by threatening to kill him, and it gets so serious that older Carlos thinks he's about to get shot. And that's when the whole movie falls apart.

Carlos is a lawyer and Elena is a musician. At first, the characters are simplistic, which fits the time-travel rom-com scheme. He doesn't like her music, she doesn't like that he's not funny anymore. Out of nowhere, past the halfway point of the film, a baffling backstory is added to these characters. Now the movie wants to be about grief and depression while playing up its time-travel comedy. It doesn't work; the tonal shifts in genre are baffling at best and make everything about the movie off-putting.

While the older couple is battling their demons (and almost literally so), the younger couple is still trying to keep the romance light. It would almost work if Carlos hadn't been robbed at gunpoint. So many odd choices for such a short movie.

When Future With You is a light-hearted romantic comedy, it's fun, funny, and enjoyable. When it decides to become a drama about grief and tragedy in the middle of a time-travel romantic comedy, it becomes unpleasant and that fun movie at the beginning goes out the window.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...

Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2026 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

The Netflix adaptation of *Steel Ball Run*—whose two-part premiere masterfully condenses the first two volumes of the manga—stands as a celebration of Hirohiko Araki’s creative clean slate. While *Steel Ball Run* serves as a highly recommended entry point into *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* for newcomers, much of its value lies in a prior familiarity with the six-part saga created by Araki. And although the prospect of diving into such a vast and chaotic world may seem intimidating, that very familiarity makes the thematic brilliance of *Steel Ball Run* all the more poignant. Throughout its first six parts, *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* told a fascinating saga centered on the legacy of the Joestar family. The franchise's seventh installment, *Steel Ball Run*, transports this globe-trotting adventure story to the United States of the 1890s. Araki has crafted a standalone narrative continuity that draws heavily upon the mythology already established within the *JoJo* universe. Star...
