🎬 ANIMALS 🐾

Being a politician is easy. Just smile, promise a better future, and hope nobody checks your bank account. Then someone kidnaps your son. Suddenly, your campaign needs a new slogan: “Make the ransom great again.” 😏

Ben Affleck stars as a mayoral candidate who discovers that saving his child is considerably more complicated than winning an election. Money, power, reputation — everything is on the table. And apparently, morality doesn't come with a campaign budget.

A crime thriller about family, politics, and the thin line between civilization and behaving like an animal. Although, to be fair, most animals have better instincts than politicians.

🐾 One question remains: who's the real animal here — the kidnapper, the politician, or the voter who still believes campaign promises?

What do you do when your career is over, you're running out of money, you have seven days to leave your home, and your last hope is Chris Rock?

That's right. Panic.

Meet Misty Green, a former successful actress with an Emmy who’s trying to make a comeback in Hollywood.

And you know how Hollywood works. They tell you that you still look great for your age. Which is a bit like saying, “That horse looks fine. Just don’t look at its legs.”

Misty has one week to find a place to live, get a job, and somehow bring her career back to life.

Meanwhile, she's surrounded by Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick, and Chris Rock himself.

The film was made for less than $5 million. So, no giant Hollywood explosions that cost more than a small country’s annual budget.

The lead role goes to Rosalind Eleazar, and early reviews suggest she could be the film’s biggest surprise.

🎬 Misty Green («Мисти Грин»)

US theatrical release: October 9, 2026.

Chris Rock wrote the script and directed the film himself.

So, the big question is: can Misty make her comeback?

Or will Hollywood give her a friendly smile, say, “We'll be in touch,” and then disappear for the next three years?

Personally, I'd watch just to find out.

What could possibly go wrong if you go to the Amazon to help people?

Well… besides helicopter-sized mosquitoes, illegal resource hunters, and a giant snake roughly the length of a ten-story building.

Beware Boiúna is a new survival horror movie about a medical expedition into the Amazon that quickly discovers the local healthcare system has one very large patient who did not make an appointment.

At the center of the story are doctors Alli and Callum, along with their guide, Lena. Their expedition crosses paths with a group of people who are busy exploiting the land.

And then Boiúna shows up — an ancient giant serpent from Amazonian folklore.

And this is not just an anaconda that somebody forgot to tell was supposed to have reasonable proportions.

The filmmakers made this snake about 100 feet long.

For perspective: that is no longer an animal.

That is infrastructure.

Infrastructure that, for reasons known only to God and the screenwriter, has decided to eat you.

And the really bad news?

Boiúna isn't particularly interested in human morality.

You trespassed on her territory?

Fine.

She's not getting on the phone with your attorney.

The movie was actually filmed in the Colombian jungle, so you get real rivers, real forest, real heat, real mud, and the growing sensation that nature is slowly putting together a formal complaint against the human race.

Meanwhile, the humans keep doing what humans do best:

They fight.

They seek revenge.

They exploit resources.

And they make decisions that usually end with someone saying:

“Guys… we should've left twenty minutes ago.”

The cast includes Kiana Madeira, Jessica Rothe, and Logan Marshall-Green.

Directed by Mike P. Nelson, who also directed Wrong Turn.

The world premiere took place at Fantastic Fest in September 2026.

The movie hit U.S. theaters on October 2.

In Germany, Constantin Film has announced a theatrical release for October 8.

And here's what I particularly like about the basic idea:

Humans arrive in the Amazon and decide they're the main characters.

Boiúna apparently read the script and decided to revisit that assumption.

If you like movies where a group of people travels somewhere beautiful and, about twenty minutes later, realizes that the beautiful place is strongly opposed to their continued existence…

keep an eye on this one.

Because sometimes the best way to solve an environmental problem is simply to imagine that nature has teeth.

And a very, very long body.

What could possibly go wrong if a father secretly sneaks his 13-year-old son into a massive hip-hop festival?

Well…

Pretty much everything.

In Rolling Loud: The Movie (“Rolling Loud: Wildly Unhinged”), Owen Wilson plays Hank, a father who has decided that the best way to reconnect with his son is to illegally sneak him into Rolling Loud.

The plan is simple:

Show his kid that Dad is still cool.

A little while later, the kid disappears into the crowd.

And that’s when Hank’s parenting strategy begins to achieve international significance.

Hank sets off to find his 13-year-old son, Zion, somewhere inside a festival packed with tens of thousands of people, rappers, security guards, drugs, naked strangers, and approximately zero opportunities to calmly discuss his son’s behavior.

Matt Rife and Christine Ko join him in the search, while the madness comes with a rather impressive supporting cast of actual hip-hop stars — Travis Scott, Sexyy Red, Ski Mask the Slump God, Ty Dolla $ign, and others.

And here’s the truly ridiculous part:

The movie was actually filmed at the real Rolling Loud.

In fact, Travis Scott literally brought Owen Wilson onstage in front of a massive crowd.

You could write that into a screenplay.

But why bother when reality is already willing to collaborate?

And yes — the story is partly based on something that actually happened to director Jeremy Garelick.

He really did take his 13-year-old son to Rolling Loud.

And he really did lose him.

To be fair, the kid was found about 20 minutes later.

Hollywood looked at those 20 minutes and apparently said:

“Perfect. Let’s make a feature film.”

Rolling Loud: The Movie is already out in the U.S.

So if you’ve ever thought a shopping mall was the worst possible place to look for a missing child, this movie may force you to reconsider your relationship with civilization.

Because at least the mall doesn’t have a mosh pit.

THE SCOUT («РАЗВЕДЧИК») — a movie about a profession you’ve probably never even noticed existed.

And honestly, that makes sense.

If someone is really good at their job, you’re not supposed to notice they exist.

Sofia is a location scout. She finds places for movies and TV shows: apartments, stores, houses, restaurants. She walks into the homes of complete strangers, looks around their rooms, photographs their stuff, and tries to convince everyone that this particular place would be absolutely perfect for pretending to be somebody else’s life.

Basically, she professionally finds places where other people can pretend to live.

Over the course of one day, Sofia encounters an entire zoo of humanity: apartment owners, strange clients, people asking for way too much money, and people who seem to want something from her that has absolutely nothing to do with real estate.

And somewhere in the middle of all this, she unexpectedly runs into an old friend.

That’s when things get interesting.

Because apparently, finding the perfect apartment for a TV shoot is much easier than finding the right place to have an honest conversation with someone you’ve known for years.

World Premiere: Tribeca Film Festival — June 5, 2025.
U.S. theatrical release: September 25, 2026.
Written & directed by: Paula González-Nasser.
Starring: Mimi Davila.
Runtime: 89 minutes.

The filmmakers haven’t publicly disclosed the budget.

And judging by the scale of the movie, they made the sensible decision to spend the money on actually making the film instead of hiring someone to stand next to the film and tell us how much money they spent making it.

Critics seem to like it, too: 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and 72/100 on Metacritic.

If you like movies where an apparently ordinary job slowly turns into an unexpectedly strange observation of human beings, The Scout might be worth scouting out.

Because sometimes the best way to understand humanity is to walk into other people’s apartments and see how they live.

Preferably with permission.

You know.

Civilization has rules.

Have you ever taken a job and then realized the position comes with someone else’s husband, a suspicious manuscript, and possibly a murder?

Welcome to Verity.

Lowen Ashleigh is a writer hired to finish the book series of the famous author Verity Crawford.

Sounds like a normal job.

There’s just one small problem.

After an accident, Verity is lying at home, barely able to speak.

But Lowen finds her manuscript.

And let’s just say… the content is a little more interesting than the job description.

Verity writes about her family, the death of her daughter, and things that make you want to stop reading and call a lawyer instead.

Lowen starts to suspect that Verity may not be as helpless as she looks.

And then she falls in love with Verity’s husband.

Because if you’re going to violate professional ethics, you might as well commit to the full package.

Then come the murders, the secrets, the manipulation… and one very uncomfortable question:

What if the entire manuscript is a lie?

Or worse:

What if it’s the only truth in the house?

The movie is built so that, right up until the end, you’re never completely sure who to believe.

Which is pretty convenient for a movie called Verity.

Anne Hathaway. Dakota Johnson. Josh Hartnett.

A psychological thriller where, apparently, a nice family dinner is considered an inefficient way to communicate.

If you like stories that make you want to go back after the ending and figure out who’s been playing you the entire time, this one is worth watching.

And if, after the movie, you actually figure out who to believe…

Tell me.

I’d like to meet that person.

Alec Baldwin. A gun. A courtroom. Hollywood.

If that already sounds like a terrible idea for a movie — congratulations. You’ve just figured out why someone decided to make a documentary about it.

The Trial of Alec Baldwin is Rory Kennedy’s documentary about the Rust case — one movie set, one terrible day, and a day that ended considerably worse than movie days are supposed to.

But the most interesting part isn’t even what happened.

It’s what happened next.

The investigation. The courtroom. The media. The paparazzi. The public trial.

And Alec Baldwin suddenly discovering that Hollywood has one role you don’t get to turn down:

the defendant.

Baldwin appears in the film himself, allowing director Rory Kennedy to follow him for several years — without telling her what the movie was supposed to become.

The film premiered at DOC NYC in 2025 and is coming to theaters in 2026.

The budget hasn’t been publicly disclosed.

Baldwin’s fee for participating? According to the director: zero dollars.

Which may be the first time in Hollywood history that the sentence “He took the role” sounds genuinely suspicious.

You should see the film for one question alone:

What happens when a Hollywood actor becomes the star of a movie whose script he has absolutely no control over?

Spoiler:

This time, life is the screenwriter.

And, as we all know…

life has a terrible producer.

🎭 What if Spirited Away wasn’t an anime at all, but a live stage production — with real actors, gigantic sets, puppets, and No-Face looking like he got invited to a Japanese wedding but nobody bothered to explain the rules?

You get Spirited Away: Live on Stage — a theatrical adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved classic, directed by John Caird, a man who apparently looked at one of the most impossible animated movies to bring to the stage and thought:

“Yeah. Let’s do that.”

And, thankfully, he didn’t just try to glue the movie onto a stage and hope for the best.

Chihiro enters the same wonderfully bizarre world of spirits, where her parents turn into pigs, Yubaba runs a bathhouse like an extremely hostile HR department, Haku flies around as a dragon, and No-Face discovers that gold is a fantastic way to instantly make friends you absolutely did not ask for.

The production features two different Chihiros: Kanna Hashimoto and Mone Kamishiraishi.

And Mari Natsuki plays both Yubaba and Zeniba — the very same characters she voiced in Miyazaki’s original 2001 film.

The stage production premiered in Tokyo on March 2, 2022. It then toured Japan, made its way to London’s West End, and eventually found its way onto movie screens.

And this is where things get interesting:

In 2026, Spirited Away: Live on Stage returns to American theaters as part of the Studio Ghibli Fest.

So no, this isn’t a new Miyazaki movie. And it isn’t a remake.

It’s a stage play that somehow decided it wanted to become a movie again.

Which, honestly, makes perfect sense.

If your parents have already turned into pigs and you’ve accidentally wandered into the spirit world, why wouldn’t the theater production eventually look at itself and say:

“Fine. I’m going to the movies too.”

If you love Miyazaki, Japanese theater, or simply want to find out how far you can push the sentence “Come on, let’s just do it live” — this is worth seeing.

Because No-Face on a stage is no longer just a character.

He’s a production requirement.

There are movies that make you want to discuss the plot.

And then there’s Begotten (“The Begotten”) — a movie that makes you want to check whether you’re still human… or just an unexpected side effect of somebody’s religious experiment.

The 1989 film is coming back in 2026 with a 4K restoration.

And no, it’s not a remake.

Nobody looked at Begotten and thought, “You know what? Humanity didn’t suffer enough the first time.”

They simply restored the original so you can finally see every horrifying little detail.

Which, frankly, may have been a terrible idea.

The plot is basically this:

God kills himself. Mother Earth emerges from his remains. She gives birth to the Son of Earth. Then humans show up and start behaving like humans.

So, basically, civilization develops exactly as expected.

There’s almost no dialogue.

But there’s plenty of mud, flesh, death, birth, nomads, strange robed figures — and the feeling that somebody tried to make the Bible after being banned from using words and handed an old 16mm camera instead.

And then there’s the budget.

About $33,000.

Today, that’s enough to make a corporate training video explaining why you absolutely should not spend the corporate budget on making Begotten.

E. Elias Merhige spent it on one of the strangest experimental horror films ever made.

And now that beautiful little nightmare is coming back to theaters in 4K.

Begotten is the kind of movie you’ll either never forget…

…or spend the rest of your life trying very hard to forget.

Either way, I suppose that means the movie did its job.

LINKIN PARK: UNSHATTER (“LINKIN PARK: UNBREAKABLE”)

There are things you throw away once they’re broken.

A plate, for example.

But Linkin Park?

Apparently, you can just try to rebuild the entire band.

“Linkin Park: Unshatter” is a documentary about what happened when Linkin Park went back into the studio after years away, started making new music, brought in Emily Armstrong as their new vocalist and Colin Brittain as their new drummer — and eventually decided:

“Sure. Let’s do this again.”

The film begins with studio sessions from 2022 and follows the band through “From Zero” and all the way to their massive concert in São Paulo in 2024.

And no, this isn’t one of those polished stories where everyone smiles, hugs and says:

“We knew it was going to work.”

Obviously not.

There were doubts. Rob Bourdon didn’t return. There was a new lineup, a new voice and one rather inconvenient question:

Can there be a new Linkin Park when the old Linkin Park no longer exists?

The band didn’t answer that question in a motivational seminar.

They answered it in front of a stadium full of people.

That’s what makes “Unshatter” interesting.

It’s less a story about bringing the past back and more a story about what you do when the past is permanently gone — and you decide to make music anyway.

There’s archival footage of Chester Bennington, new interviews, studio recordings, backstage material and, naturally, quite a lot of Linkin Park.

And then there’s the director: Joe Hahn himself.

Which is roughly like having one member of the family film the family reunion because somebody has to document the disaster.

In cinemas September 30, 2026.

Then we’ll find out whether you can actually put a broken band back together.

Or whether you simply build something new, put the old name on it and hope nobody asks too many questions.

Personally, I’d buy a ticket. If only to see what happened to the plate.
