Hayley Kiyoko expands her beloved “Girls Like Girls” story from music video to feature film, delivering a heartfelt coming-of-age romance rooted in self-discovery, trust, and first love.

Set against a nostalgic mid-2000s backdrop, the film follows Coley as she navigates grief, family, and a growing connection with Sonya during a transformative summer. While some character arcs and relationship beats feel underdeveloped, Kiyoko brings sincerity and personal experience to a story that celebrates q***r love, communication, and acceptance.

For longtime fans of the song and a new generation of viewers alike, Girls Like Girls offers an emotional and affirming look at finding the courage to be yourself.

The Furious may rely on familiar action-thriller tropes, but it more than makes up for them with relentless energy and spectacular martial arts choreography.

When a father searching for his kidnapped daughter crosses paths with a journalist investigating a trafficking network, the two are forced into an increasingly brutal fight against a corrupt criminal organization. While the story and character development often take a backseat, the film excels where it matters most: delivering inventive, high-impact action sequences that continually raise the stakes.

Packed with bone-crunching fights, dynamic stunt work, and standout performances from Xie Miao and Joe Taslim, The Furious is a crowd-pleasing showcase of martial arts action at its most kinetic.

Disclosure Day blends blockbuster spectacle with a thoughtful story about truth, trust, and the power of journalism.

As mysterious alien contact begins to unravel across the globe, a weather reporter and a researcher find themselves at the centre of a race to uncover hidden evidence and reveal it to the world. Along the way, the film delivers massive action sequences, compelling performances, and a surprisingly timely exploration of media, misinformation, and the importance of verifiable facts.

Balancing thrilling sci-fi adventure with human emotion and social commentary, Disclosure Day proves that Steven Spielberg still knows how to make audiences think while keeping them on the edge of their seats.
