Trailer for Peculiar Grief Film 'Miss You, Love You' with Allison Janney

"I am his mother!" "Well then fight like one!" HBO has unveiled the trailer for a grief film titled Miss You, Love You, an awkward dark comedy with plenty of emotional drama. This film is releasing for streaming starting at the end of May for anyone to watch on HBO Max if you're curious. Miss You, Love You is written and directed by comedy actor Jim Rash, his latest since directing Downhill a few years ago. A widow plans her husband's funeral. Her estranged son sends assistant instead of coming himself. She ends up bonding with him instead. As they fumble through grief & their strange, darkly funny circumstances, buried secrets & long-held resentments surface, but their partnership becomes an unlikely conduit for connection, laughter, healing for this mom and her new "surrogate son". Starring Allison Janney as Diane Patterson, Andrew Rannells as Jamie Simms, with Bonnie Hunt, Suzy Nakamura, Oscar Nuñez, & Lisa Schurga. This actually looks really good - plenty of heated arguments that ultimately seem necessary despite their veracity. // Continue Reading ›

John Cena & Eric Andre in Zany Comedy 'Little Brother' Official Trailer

"What happened to the guy I married who said the only thing matters is family...?" Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a movie called Little Brother, another ridiculously fun new comedy coming out soon to watch. From the same filmmaker behind Ingrid Goes West and the series "Angelyne" comes a story of two... brothers? A famous real estate agent's carefully curated world is upended when his eccentric "little brother" unexpectedly reappears and starts to ruin his life & everything in it. The two long-lost brothers reunite on Netflix starting June 26th. Remember to keep your family close, though maybe not too close. Little Brother stars John Cena and Eric Andre as the brothers Rudd and Marcus, along with Michelle Monaghan, Christopher Meloni, Sherry Cola, Ego Nwodim, Caleb Hearon, Ben Ahlers, Bryce Gheisar, and Pilot Bunch. This looks extra dumb but still pretty funny – especially Cena's live delivery every single time. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2026: 'Minotaur' is a Brilliant Look at Modern World Moral Rot

Whether you like it or not, we live in perilous times. But it still seems hard to talk about this, to talk about what's broken, what's happening to humanity, what's going on all over the world, how rotten it has become. The easiest way to exist peacefully is to shut up, conform to the new rules, do what you're told, don't cause any trouble, and just stay in line. And this is what leads us even deeper into the depths of Hell. One of the best films at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival dares to tell an unflinching story about this pervasive moral rot and challenges us to observe how easy it is to lose all your humanity in order to hold on to money & power. Minotaur is the sixth feature film by acclaimed Russian filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev and it might be his best yet. This hit me hard and I haven't stop analyzing it, making sense of it, processing its immensity in the hours since emerging from my screening. Extraordinarily powerful, stomach churning, of-the-moment cinema featuring Tarkovsky-inspired visual intricacy in every shot. Minotaur is a brilliant film about what's happening Russia – while also a story of what's happening everywhere around the world if you look closely. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for 'The Match' Doc About '86 Football World Cup Game

"When does a match start? When does it end?" ⚽ Disney has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film titled The Match, an emotional look back at the iconic 1986 World Cup game. This just premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival this month playing in the Cannes Premiere section - it's rare they ever show docs at this fest meaning this is definitely worth a look. Beyond the Hand of God lies a deeper story... About the 1986 Argentina-England World Cup quarter final, exploring how it became a culmination of tensions between the two nations following the 1982 Falklands War. From directors Juan Cabral & Santiago Franco, narrated by Gary Lineker & Jorge Valdano, The Match tells the story of the iconic 1986 Football World Cup clash between Argentina & England at the Azteca Stadium. Using rare archival footage, including Maradona's controversial "Hand of God", the doc film reconstructs the match as a living memory, after more than 200 years of tension, encounters, and conflict between the two nations. Reviews say, "this entertaining exercise in deluxe nostalgia is peppered with enough quirky folklore and offbeat background detail to keep even sports-allergic viewers [...] engaged." This looks super fascinating for sports fans & history nerds alike. // Continue Reading ›

Teaser #2 for DC's 'Lanterns' Series with Aaron Pierre & Kyle Chandler

"It's only one question: are you afraid?" Ready for more? DC + HBO have revealed a second teaser trailer for their new Green Lanterns spin-off series called simply Lanterns - set for a streaming debut coming up this August. Will this actually turn out any good? Take a closer look. Lanterns follows new recruit John Stewart & Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. Featuring Kyle Chandler playing Hal Jordan, the fan fave Green Lantern, along with Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, the newcomer in the Lantern Corps. The cast includes Kelly Macdonald, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner (from Superman), Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Nicole Ari Parker, Jason Ritter, Sherman Augustus, and Paul Ben-Victor as villain Antaan. Green Lanterns are intergalactic peacekeepers with rings that give them powers. The series ends up in Nebraska, leading them to darker mysteries & reckonings. This new teaser features more actual Green Lantern footage and some other planets and more VFX, but it still looks a bit muted & unexciting overall. I just hope this concept works. We'll find out in a just few months from now. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2026: Superb Adèle Exarchopoulos in Alcoholism Film 'Garance'

There's nothing wrong a good film offering an uncomplicated narrative look at how someone can get better from being unhealthy or being addicted to something harmful. Not every film needs to be overly complex and nuanced, sometimes a good story with some cliche scenes can actually have an impact. Some viewers need this. Maybe not you or I, but that doesn't matter, because I can appreciate the film and how it works as a beneficial story anyway. That's the case with this Cannes Competition premiere titled Garance, a French drama from filmmaker Jeanne Herry following the story of an alcoholic woman living in Paris who refuses to accept that she must stop drinking. The English title for it is Another Day – a more thematic reference. Whereas the original French title Garance is also the name of the main character so it doesn't even need to be translated anyway. What I enjoy the most about Garance is the upbeat, energetic flow to the film, zipping from scene to scene like a dancer full of energy giving her most passionate performance. There's some great music and an electro score to it that also keep it moving at a fast pace, which is important because it covers years of time in Garance's life as she finally comes to understand her love of alcohol is a dangerous problem. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2026: 'La Perra' is a Chilean Dog Movie Distracted by Grief

I'm always on the lookout for dog movies. I will watch each and every one of them. But that also means they better not do anything off-putting or annoying or upsetting. If a dog character is important to the plot in a film, the filmmakers better handle this story (and the dog/all the dogs) with care and concern. Or it will ruin the film. On one hand, this Chilean film is quite beautiful and entrancing. On the other, it's bogged down by an annoying subplot about grief that overwhelms the film and sends it to a frustrating finale. La Perra is the latest feature from Chilean filmmaker Dominga Sotomayor – it's premiering at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar at the fest. It's a ravishing cinematic experience – the powerful sound design and astonishing cinematography make it worthwhile to watch on the big screen, which is the proper way to view it. However, the narrative gets bogged down by choices related to this grief theme in the story, and it waters down the otherwise beautiful tale of a woman bonding with a dog on an island. I enjoyed most of, but not the ending... Though I still think it's worth recommending to other adventurous cinephiles. // Continue Reading ›
