Carolina Caroline

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Carolina Caroline
  • IMDb: link

Samara Weaving stars as Caroline, a small town grocery worker smarter than her station but just naive enough to believe Oliver (Kyle Gallner), the charming con man who rolls into town, can provide her with a better life. Losing herself in the attraction of Oliver and the adrenaline of bigger and bigger scores, Carolina Caroline starts out as a breezy con movie romance before things start to go wrong and the consequences for the pair’s actions come due.

Pressure

  • Title: Pressure
  • IMDb: link

Delving into one of the less explored aspects of one of the most covered war moments in history, the script by Anthony Maras and David Haig, based on Haig’s stage play, explores how weather won perhaps the most crucial battle of World War II. Despite it’s slightly unusual subject matter, the structure of the film (involving one lone voice of reason struggling to be heard over the naysayers) is quite familiar.

Adam and the Masters of the Universe

  • Title: Masters of the Universe (2026)
  • IMDb: link

The first live-action Masters of the Universe film since 1987, the new film makes notable upgrades in allowing most of the plot to unfold on Eternia (although we do get stuck on Earth for a large section of Act I), throw in more of oddball characters of the franchise (although not as many as you may be expecting), and (perhaps a little too much) discuss who has the power of Grayskull. It’s a more accurate film in honoring the toys and animated series that captured kids’ attention in the 1980s, but is it a better film?

This? This is the way? The Mandalorian and Grogu completes the journey to undo all the character development from the show’s First Season. The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu are still together flying the friendly skies as bounty hunters. Despite learning he was raised in a cult and its okay to remove your helmet Din Djarin has firmly fallen back into that brainwashing, Grogu has chosen family over Jedi training, and now we’ve even given the pair their old ship back because why not recon the Season One finale and pretend the final two seasons of the show and The Book of Boba Fett never happened?

Mortal Kombat (Part) II

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Mortal Kombat II (2026)
  • IMDb: link

At least this one has a tournament in it. A continuation of 2021’s Mortal Kombat, the characters introduced in that film finally get around to fighting for the fate of Earth. However, all are relegated to supporting status as new characters dominate the story both inside the tournament and beyond. Johnny Cage (Karl Urban), a reluctant washed-up action star needing to put his atrophied martial arts skills to work, and Outworld‘s Princess Kitana (Adeline Rudolph) of the conquered realm of Edenia carry most of the film.
