 *Little Brother* (2026) is a comedy available on Netflix that follows a famous real estate agent whose life is upended when his eccentric younger brother unexpectedly reappears. I saw part of the promotional campaign, decided to give it a chance, and I have to say the movie turned out to be quite good. Positive aspects of *Little Brother* (2026): The story works well for what it is, even though we’ve seen this type of plot many times before. The cast does a good job of making the movie work for the most part. John Cena and Eric André are solid as the lead brothers, caught up in ridiculous situations, and they make the scenes work.  Director: Matt Spicer Writers: Jarrad Paul, Andrew Mogel Stars: John Cena, Eric André, Michelle Monaghan The supporting cast—including Michelle Monaghan and Christopher Meloni—does a great job. The film has a good pace that moves the story along effectively. The "older brother-younger brother" dynamic provides a functional premise for the story. T...

 "Supergirl" possesses some truly solid qualities, but it never quite rises above the level of a merely decent superhero adventure movie. I wouldn't call it a disappointment, but it certainly isn't one of those productions that will redefine the genre. From a technical standpoint, "Supergirl" falls into that category of films where, after a few months, it is hard to recall more than two or three moments. It isn't a letdown, but it is definitely not the movie that will convince anyone that DC has finally found the magic formula. Director: Craig Gillespie Writers: Ana Nogueira, Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster Stars: Milly Alcock, David Corenswet, Eve Ridley Milly Alcock brings the necessary emotional depth and humanity to Kara Zor-El, making her a compelling enough character to carry the story for most of the film. She is simultaneously vulnerable and determined, making it easy to empathize with her. Another major highlight is Jason Momoa as Lobo. Every time he ...

 There are movies you watch, and others you feel. *Voicemails to Isabell* undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. From the very moment Jill’s voice was heard on the other end of the line, I fully believed in the love Wes felt for her, even without knowing her. The actors didn't just play people in love; they made me fall in love with the idea of ​​love all over again. Every glance, every voicemail, and every moment felt painfully real. What makes this film so special is that it isn't simply a romance between a boy and a girl. At its core, it is a beautiful story about love in all its forms—especially the unbreakable bond between sisters. That relationship resonated with me just as deeply—if not more so—than the romance. It is rare to find a film that understands that romantic love isn't the only kind worth celebrating. Watch Voicemails for Isabelle 2026 Movie Trailer

 First of all, I want to say that, overall, I think it’s a very good series (I give it an 8/10). Here, I am reviewing the movie that comprises episodes 8 and 9. It is clear that Gooseworx is a woman of great talent and passion. I have seen all her animations prior to this series and was impressed by them, just as I was by most of this work. Director: Gooseworx Writer: Gooseworx Stars: Lizzie Freeman, Michael Kovach, Amanda Hufford However, this finale leaves me with mixed feelings. On one hand, the animation, music, and voice acting are fantastic. The message and central themes are truly fascinating to me, and I understand that this was always a character-driven series, rather than one focused on mythology or world-building (*lore*). I even applaud the fact that GW ultimately steered quite far away from Harlan Ellison’s infamous horror story—the series' main inspiration—*I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream*, regarding character development. The series no longer lives in that shadow,...

 *The Polygamist* is a story about a man, but it is never really just about a man. What makes the series work so well is its understanding of consequences. Every decision the protagonist makes causes a shock wave in the lives of those around him. The series constantly reminds us that our choices rarely belong to us alone; They become burdens, lessons and scars carried by all those trapped in their orbit. Stars: Gugu Gumede, Kwanele Mthethwa, S'Dumo Mtshali The script is one of the series' greatest strengths. Avoid easy answers and allow the drama to develop through relationships instead of resorting to spectacle. However, I was left wanting to know more about the protagonist's past. We see fragments of his adolescence and understand that he was a womanizer who often got what he wanted, but was still searching for the deeper root of his behavior. What caused this insatiable need? What void were you trying to fill? The series stays on the surface, but never really goes into d...

 Mek is falsely accused of murder. He teams up with Jittri to prove his innocence. If you are passionate about legal dramas, stories involving political corruption, murder mysteries, and social commentary, *The Evil Lawyer* is exactly what you need to watch right away. The plot revolves around Mek, a young lawyer who firmly believes in justice and the rule of law. His life takes a turn for the worse when he is framed for the murder of a police chief's son. Abandoned and betrayed by the very system he once trusted, Mek joins forces with the controversial lawyer Jittri, known for exploiting legal loopholes and defending clients who appear guilty but are not. Stars: Rhatha Phongam, Nat Kitcharit, Atchareeya Potipipittanakorn The relationship between the two is unique. Mek is an idealist, whereas Jittri operates in a moral gray area; she firmly believes the system is unequal and prone to the abuse of power. As Mek investigates the conspiracy behind his arrest, the story takes a dark tu...

Directed by Charlotte Fassler and Dani Girdwood, the Prime Video film stars Asha Banks and Matthew Broome as Noah and Nick, alongside Ray Fearon, Eve Macklin, Louisa Binder, and Joel Nankervis, among others. Based on *Culpa tuya* by Mercedes Ron—the second novel in the hit *Culpables* trilogy—the movie serves as a sequel to *My Fault: London*. When I first heard the *Culpables* trilogy was getting an English-language adaptation, I almost asked myself, "Did we really need this?" Well, after watching *My Fault: London*, I wasn't entirely satisfied, but I felt it was at least somewhat entertaining. It’s not a great film, but it’s watchable. However, after seeing *Your Fault: London*, I find myself asking: why are we being forced to watch the same thing over and over again? Directors: Charlotte Fassler, Dani Girdwood Writers: Bella Heesom, Melissa Osborne, Mercedes Ron Stars: Asha Banks, Matthew Broome, Eve Macklin Prime Video’s *Your Fault: London* begins with Noah and Nick ...

 Oasis, a luxury resort, soon becomes a crime scene when a young woman vanishes from the premises. If you are wondering why the series is titled "Oasis," here is the story behind the name. Set in an exclusive resort called Oasis, the location serves as a backdrop for privileged families to enjoy private beaches, lavish parties, and luxury vacations. However, this all comes to an abrupt end when a young woman mysteriously disappears. A growing sense of mistrust emerges among those present. Police arrive to investigate the incident, preventing any guests or staff from leaving the grounds. What began as a place of leisure quickly transforms into a scene of chaos and crime. The question remains: where did the girl disappear to? Who was behind it all? Creator: Ramón Campos Stars: Berta Castañé, Verónica Sánchez, Tomy Aguilera The atmosphere created by *Oasis* is charged with suspense and intrigue. There is a stark contrast in how the resort is portrayed from two different perspect...

 The film follows narcotics detective Choong-sik and veterinarian Min-seok, two men who share a very unfortunate bond: they are Si-nae’s ex-husband and current husband, respectively. Some action comedies spend twenty minutes explaining their premise. *Husbands in Action* deserves credit for realizing that no one needs more explanation than: "an ex-husband and a current husband have to rescue the same woman." I was sold the moment I heard that setup. The film rightly understands that the premise itself is the joke; everything else exists to support it.  Director: Gyu-tae Park Writer: Gyu-tae Park Stars: Jin Seon-kyu, Gong Myoung, Kim Ji Suk That is likely why it works so well. Instead of trying to be a gritty police thriller, director Park Gyu-tae embraces the absurdity of the situation from the very beginning. The result is a snappy, highly entertaining action comedy that succeeds largely because the cast perfectly understands the kind of movie they are making. Jin Sun-kyu is...

 Like most Harlan Coben adaptations, *I Will Find You* begins with an intriguing mystery but gradually devolves into a series of mediocre red herrings that ultimately pave the way for a truly absurd final reveal. However, I must also admit that the story of *I Will Find You* is so exasperating and ridiculously stupid that it earns the prestigious "so bad it's good" label. Even so, if you don't enjoy watching the series—or any other Coben adaptation—the fault lies with a bland execution that refuses to be as wild as the script. Joe Wright’s *The Woman in the Window* isn't what I’d call "great art," but it is visually dazzling and so full of energy that I’d choose it any day over any Harlan Coben adaptation. Needless to say, Wright’s "trash" is infinitely more admirable than any Coben series on Netflix or Prime Video. They are all riddled with flat, nondescript visuals that prioritize narrative exposition—exposition that rushes us from one event ...

Mindy Kaling is moving through the various stages of life. With the Netflix series *Never Have I Ever*, the comedy mogul tackled the high school years; with HBO Max’s *The Sex Lives of College Girls*, she moved (literally) to college. Hulu’s *Not Suitable for Work*—Kaling’s first series as sole creator since *The Mindy Project*, and executive produced by her frequent collaborator Charlie Grandy—continues this progression into the uncertain post-graduation phase, featuring characters struggling to establish both their careers and their adult relationships.  However, while college-set series are notoriously difficult to pull off successfully—making *Sex Lives*’ three-season run a remarkable achievement—and *Never Have I Ever* offered a specific portrait of an Indian-American family in Los Angeles narrated by John McEnroe, *Not Suitable for Work* feels like a bland take on a well-worn premise. Glimpses of a sharper, more memorable approach to young people juggling work and romance in ...

 "The nights are really special—you’ll see," Mona (Eleonore Hendricks) tells Eleni (Cemre Paksoy) regarding her new job caring for the elderly and infirm in *Night Nurse*; she seems to speak the same language as the new hire when she adds that "it feels good to be needed." Judging by appearances, Eleni values ​​that feeling more than the paycheck when she accepts a position at a palliative care facility; in fact, she is enthusiastic about the prospect of caring for Douglas (Bruce McKenzie)—a patient who is difficult to staff after having tried to seduce his previous caregiver. He clearly appreciates the attention when Mona—who becomes Eleni’s mentor—introduces them; he doesn't seem likely to cause much trouble, as neither his mind nor his body appears to pose a major issue, despite a diagnosis of early-stage dementia. Naturally, conflict arises in Georgia Bernstein’s fascinating feature debut, but it is never quite what one might expect; after all, a nursing hom...

 One of the major highlights of the 2026 El Dorado Film Festival was the screening of *Honeyjoon*, a film by writer-director Lilian T. Mehrel. This emotionally rich, life-affirming comedy-drama—which premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival—is now reaching wider audiences as it continues its festival run, offering viewers the chance to discover the impressive debut of a filmmaker with a diverse range of fascinating interests. Set and filmed in the beautiful Azores islands off the coast of Portugal, *Honeyjoon* tells a mother-daughter story with a unique flavor. It is a tale steeped in profound humanity, conveyed primarily through its two sharply defined protagonists. Their individual experiences, emotional complexities, and radically opposing philosophies fuel the emotional drama while also giving rise to intelligent, often unexpected humor. Director: Lilian T. Mehrel Writer: Lilian T. Mehrel Stars: Ayden Mayeri, Amira Casar, José Condessa The free-spirited June (Ayden Mayeri) a...

 This is undoubtedly one of the most absurd and frenetic satires regarding identity, internet fame, and the panic that sets in upon entering one's thirties. The plot revolves around Caro Pardíaco—a nightlife entrepreneur, streaming celebrity, and digital personality—who, at first glance, seems to have her life under control. Yet, behind that facade lies a person grappling with life just like anyone else. Days before turning thirty, Caro spirals into a crisis that cannot be resolved via a livestream. Here is what happens: Caro is organizing the biggest birthday party of her life when she meets Leo—a love interest—who completely destabilizes her emotional equilibrium. Leo is described as charming yet dangerous; he introduces unpredictability into her life, turning everything into a screwball comedy. Stars: Julián Kartún, Alex Pelao, Iara Portillo The plot has many positive aspects. First, it is highly relatable for anyone entering their thirties—a stage when one begins to settle down...

Few football matches have achieved a status comparable to the 2005 UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul. For Liverpool fans, it is a memory etched forever in their hearts. *Untold UK: Liverpool’s Miracle of Istanbul* is the documentary that revisits this event and explains how a struggling team achieved the impossible. Through interviews with key figures such as Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso, and manager Rafael Benítez, the documentary tells the story of that 2005 feat that transformed Liverpool into one of the best teams in the world. The documentary begins with the club's 2004-05 season under Benítez's leadership. It was a campaign marked by uncertainty and inconsistency following the departure of star striker Michael Owen. This situation raised doubts among both fans and club stakeholders. Yet, this is where the comeback story unfolds: Liverpool stunned everyone with their performance in the 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul. They achieved what no one...

 World Cup fever has officially gripped the globe, and the upcoming tournament kicks off on June 11. As a result, everyone seems to have caught the soccer bug—Netflix included. This Friday, the streaming platform premieres its new film, *Mexico 86*. *Mexico 86* tells the story of Martín de la Torre, a low-level soccer federation employee who risks it all for his country. When instability caused by Pablo Escobar’s reign of terror forces Colombia to abandon its plans to host the 1986 World Cup, FIFA scrambles to find a new host nation. Several countries—including the United States, Egypt, Sweden, and Mexico—submit bids. Martín de la Torre decides to spearhead his country's ambitious campaign to bring the World Cup to Mexico, employing shady tactics, political maneuvering, and sheer audacity to pull it off. Director: Gabriel Ripstein Writers: Francisco Javier Gonzalez, Daniel Krauze, Luis Reséndiz Stars: Diego Luna, Karla Souza, Daniel Giménez Cacho Despite what seems like an interest...

 *Frankelda* is a prequel to the HBO miniseries *Frankelda's Book of Spooks*; it chronicles how Francisca Imelda came to be Frankelda and establishes the circumstances of her life as depicted in the series. So, is it necessary to watch the series before the movie? Actually, I think it is better to watch it afterward—I’ll explain why later. Directors: Arturo Ambriz, Roy Ambriz Writers: Arturo Ambriz, Roy Ambriz Stars: Assira Abbate, Anahí Allué, Arturo Ambriz First of all, the animation is magnificent. The character designs are both beautiful and terrifying; we see a wide variety of specters, with the Coyote Shaman being my personal favorite. The settings are rich in color and detail. The passion behind the project is evident in every frame, and the inspiration drawn from the works of Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington is unmistakable. Furthermore, knowing that the directors worked on a very tight budget—even going so far as to mortgage their homes—makes it impossible not to admir...

 *The Marked Woman 2026* is a new Spanish-language thriller arriving on Netflix on June 5, directed by Gabe Ibáñez and based on the novel of the same name by Rosa Montero and Olivier Truc. The film follows Inspector Anna Ripoll and Agent Zárate as they investigate the discovery of an unconscious woman inside a shipping container at the port of Barcelona. With no memory of her identity, the woman becomes the center of a mystery that gradually unravels a much larger conspiracy involving human trafficking and dangerous secrets. Director: Gabe Ibáñez Writers: Rosa Montero, Lara Sendim, Olivier Truc Stars: Candela Peña, Kira Miró, Ana Rujas Before watching it, I knew very little about the film, other than that it was shot in Spanish and set in Barcelona. Unfortunately, despite some solid positive aspects and elements that could have made for a fascinating thriller, I ultimately found *La desconocida* to be quite forgettable, generic, and bland. Starting with the positives, it is a visua...

It has been quite some time since we saw Jennifer Lopez at her most carefree and fun-loving on screen. Make no mistake: she deploys her full, signature arsenal in this lively workplace comedy, co-written by her co-star Brett Goldstein. Lopez commands the screen, blending her trademark confidence and style with an impressive collection of sky-high Louboutin heels.  She brings a touch of street smarts to her character—a highly successful, top-tier executive. Yet, thanks to a grown-up script packed with witty repartee—penned by Goldstein and his fellow *Ted Lasso* creator Joe Kelly—the actress gets to show off a rare side of absurd, lighthearted humor as her character’s attraction to a strait-laced British colleague grows. Director: Ol Parker Writers: Brett Goldstein, Joe Kelly Stars: Jennifer Lopez, Brett Goldstein, Betty Gilpin The stars align when Daniel is assigned to represent Jackie in a case against an elusive competitor. Until then, the two had maintained a professional, guard...

 *The Witness* is the third take Netflix has presented on the Rachel Nickell murder case, and although it aims to tell the story from a unique perspective, it ultimately loses its way. To begin with, I have become a detractor of true-crime documentaries and dramatizations of real-life crimes. I know that starting a review this way might seem like blasphemy: why would someone who hates the genre review a work belonging to it? Well, it’s my job, and I was assigned to do it. As Spider-Noir once said: I don’t pick the ballroom; I just dance.  That’s not to say I’ve never liked this particular ballroom; I’ve seen works like *In Cold Blood*, *Mindhunter*, *Zodiac*, and *Memories of Murder*, and I’ve enjoyed them immensely. However, my aversion to the genre grew when I realized that these reenactments of real cases caused more harm than good to the victims, who simply wanted to be left alone. And when production quality began to slip and everything—from podcasts to TV shows—started t...

What begins as a comedy gradually transforms into something far more powerful: a sharp reflection on how society judges women. The story centers on Madhuri Dixit’s character, a woman who enters a new social environment after marriage. She is beautiful, well-dressed, loves her husband, and simply lives life on her own terms. Yet, instead of being accepted, she becomes a target of gossip, suspicion, and slander. She is branded a loose woman, accused of seducing men, and even called a witch. It is a stark reminder of how quickly society constructs narratives about women based solely on appearances and perceptions rather than the truth. Director: Suresh Triveni Writers: Pooja Tolani, Suresh Triveni Stars: Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri, Ravi Kishan The film also beautifully portrays the struggle of a woman who loses her husband and must move forward with her life while raising her daughters. It highlights the silent battles many women fight daily—battles that often go unnoticed because socie...

 This is one of the weakest and most irresponsible documentaries I have ever seen regarding the Michael Jackson trial. Instead of conducting a serious investigation, the documentary allows Diane Dimond and Ron Zonen to essentially shape the story, while positioning others around them to back up the same old narrative. It does not come across as an investigation; rather, it feels like a poorly researched account based on the sensationalist version of the case. Stars: Michael Jackson, Ron Zonen, Brian Oxman Even when the documentary includes key figures regarding the actual verdict—such as jurors Melissa Herard and Tammy Evans—it presents them in a strange light. Instead of treating them as serious individuals who followed the entire trial and voted based on the evidence, the film seems intent on portraying them as emotionally swayed or, in some way, less credible. That was highly unfair. At times, it felt as though the film was trying to justify or undermine their verdict rather tha...
