Werner Herzog's film "Rescue Dawn" (which hit U.S. theaters in the summer of 2007) was a semi-fictionalized retelling of his own 1997 documentary "Little Dieter Needs to Fly." The documentary followed Dieter Dengler, a German-American pilot whose plane was shot down during the Vietnam War, leading to his imprisonment and torture in a jungle-bound Pow camp. Herzog took Dengler back to Laos and Thailand to relive his experiences there. "Rescue Dawn" extends the re-creation into a full scripted drama. Dengler was played by Christian Bale, giving an intense and marvelous performance. Meanwhile, Steve Zahn and Jeremy Davies co-star as American soldiers who've been captured alongside Dieter.

Herzog, always a stickler for authenticity, went back to Thailand to film in the locations where Dengler was lost and staged his escape. Notably, "Rescue Dawn" marked the first time Herzog ever used CGI in a movie, as he employed it to animate Dengler's initial plane crash.

Redemption Day, the 2021 Moroccan-American action thriller starring Andy García and Gary Dourdan, has unexpectedly surged into the Amazon Prime global Top 10, despite holding a dismal 14% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and just 4.5/10 on IMDb ratings.

The film, helmed and written by Hicham Hajji, follows a U.S. Marine captain who must rescue his kidnapped wife in Morocco, a plot that’s resonating far more with international audiences than critics probably ever anticipated. This week, it entered the Prime Video Top 10 in 13 countries, including major Latin American markets like Brazil, Argentina, and Peru per FlixPatrol. The strongest traction is coming from Central and South America, where the film has maintained consistent chart positions across the week.

Not just that,Redemption Day has also reached the Top 5 in Bolivia, Ecuador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, with Ecuador and Guatemala charting it for a full seven days. Costa Rica and Brazil also joined the rankings later in the week.

One of the great things about Foundation is that it makes you think. It’s one of those sci-fi shows that can be a challenge at first, as you work out what’s going on and which storylines you’re following.

Apple TV+, Prime Video, HBO Max, and so many other streamers have some excellent sci-fi shows to watch if you want a challenge. They are deep and intriguing, challenging the way you think about the world and your life. Are you ready to push your view of entertainment once more?

While The White Lotus didn’t sweep the Supporting Actor/Actresses in a Drama Series category, as was at times predicted, the HBO powerhouse did match its Season 2 Emmy nomination tally with 23 this year, bringing its to-date total to 66 with 15 overall wins — with more potentially in store at the ceremony to be held Sept. 14.

Once again nominated for Outstanding Drama Series, performers Jason Isaacs, Scott Glenn and Aimee Lou Wood scored their first-ever Emmy nominations this year.

For Supporting Actress in a Drama, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey and Natasha Rothwell were also honored, with the latter seeing a repeat nomination for her role as Belinda, which she originated back in Season 1. They, along with Wood, face one performer each from Paradise, The Pitt and Severance (Patricia Arquette).

Apple TV+’s Foundation series, adapted from Isaac Asimov’s books of the same name, has captivated fans with its dense sci-fi lore, stunning visuals, complex philosophical themes, and galaxy-changing narrative. The show explores the gradual collapse of the Cleonic Dynasty as predicted by mathematician Hari Seldon’s invention—psychohistory.

This fall of the Empire is juxtaposed by the gradual rise of Seldon’s Foundation, which aims to protect a collection of human knowledge called the Encyclopedia Galactica.

With two seasons in the bag and a third currently airing, fans of the Foundation series want more mind-bending, expansive sci-fi tales. Thankfully, there are lore-filled, galaxy-spanning TV shows with the same themes of rebellion, fate, destiny, and more. So, here are seven TV shows that will engross you in their complex worlds, and you will be forced to question the future of humanity.

Some die-hard Disney fans might remember when Disney World decided it would be a great idea to make an Alien-themed ride in Magic Kingdom. Well, as many know, the encounter with a Xenomorph was not a success for the family-friendly theme park company. However, now that Disney owns Hulu and has successfully produced another film in the world of facehuggers and Xenomorphs (Alien: Romulus), the company is ready for another hit of Ridley Scott's world of intergalactic terror. In a new mega-teaser for Disney+ and Hulu's upcoming series releases, the next big installment in the Alien saga, Alien: Earth, showed off some of the scares coming to audiences.

Fans of Scott's iconic sci-fi world are bursting with excitement over the fact that director Noah Hawley is taking Xenomorphs to uncharted territory: Earth. The official plot synopsis details a classic Alien set-up: "When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth,...

Disney has released new footage of Glen Powell's upcoming sports comedy series Chad Powers, and it already looks like the streamer's response to Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso. Though Glen Powell is mostly known for his movies, like Anyone But You and Top Gun: Maverick, the rising star also has a promising TV career. Now, we have a new look at his biggest show since 2015's Scream Queens.

Disney's new sizzle reel of upcoming shows includes a short montage of moments from Chad Powers. The teaser includes moments of Glen Powell's eponymous character taking the field of a football game, telling someone that he's "not done with football," and hearing from his coach (Steve Zahn) that he was "born for this moment." Evidently, Chad Powers will be something of a dramedy instead of a full comedy.

The selection of clips from Chad Powers also hints at the show's plot.

Disney is gearing up for a huge year, and they just dropped a brand-new preview of all the exciting content coming to Disney+ and Hulu in 2025.

It looks like it’s going to bring some goofy energy to the platform, which fans of laid-back comedies will probably enjoy.

Disney just dropped a brand new video teasing all the exciting content coming soon to Disney+, and there’s a lot for fans to be excited about. Whether you’re into comedy, drama, superheroes, sci-fi, or animated fun, Disney seems to have something lined up for everyone.

One of the upcoming series that got a lot of attention is Chad Powers. It’s a comedy created by Glen Powell and Michael Waldron, with Powell also starring as the main character.

The show also features Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, Perry Mattfeld, Clayne Crawford, and more. It’s set to premiere on September 30, 2025, and will bring some light-hearted energy to the platform.

Fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians have something to look forward to as well. After a strong first season, the show was renewed for a second and third season. The second season, coming in December 2025, will cover The Sea of Monsters.

The road trip film, a staple of American independent cinema, often serves as a vessel for mending fractured relationships. She Dances takes this familiar premise and imbues it with a quiet, resonant sorrow, echoing the emotional journeys seen in films from Hollywood to the parallel cinema of India.

We meet Jason, a father adrift in his own life, and his daughter Claire, a gifted dancer whose precision on the stage masks a deep emotional wound. Jason is tasked with driving Claire to a pivotal dance competition, a trip freighted with years of unspoken feelings. An almost tangible awkwardness hangs between them, born from a family tragedy that has rendered them strangers in the same car.

The film sets a melancholic yet hopeful stage, suggesting that where words have failed, the shared language of art might offer a path back to one another. It posits that dance, much like the expressive traditions in Indian classical arts,...

Denzel Washington is one of those actors who captures an audience as soon as he appears on the screen. His dramatic roles should be studied because the way he brings a character to life is like no other. From Training Day to Malcolm X, The Preacher's Wife with Whitney Houston, and more, the Academy Award winner embodies all the traits of a legendary actor in Hollywood. Many of his films are critically acclaimed, including the 1995 action thriller Crimson Tide, which is getting an unexpected sequel. With its 89% Rotten Tomatoes score, the Academy Award-nominated production's producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, revealed that the sequel is in development, and the studio is hoping to persuade Washington to return.

According to Variety, during an interview on The Rich Eisen Show, Bruckheimer talked about his decision to develop a sequel to the highly praised '90s production. "We have a really good director and writer talking...

Get ready to roll tide again. Crimson Tide, the white-knuckle 1995 submarine thriller, has a sequel under construction at the shipyard. Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the original film, discussed the in-development sequel on The Rich Eisen Show this week while promoting his latest blockbuster, F1: The Movie. And while nobody's turned their key yet, Bruckheimer thinks he can convince the original's star, Denzel Washington, to take the helm once more.

While discussing the high-velocity F1, Bruckheimer and Eisen's conversation turns to Crimson Tide, which starred Washington and the recently departed Gene Hackman. Bruckheimer notes that a sequel to the film is in development, saying that "We have a really good director and writer talking to the Navy right now about what’s going on under the water." And while he doesn't have a commitment from Washington yet, Bruckheimer is confident in his ability to get the Oscar-winner back in the...

Joseph Kosinski's expensive new blockbuster "F1" centers very attentively on Sonny Hayes, a 60-year-old racecar driver played by Brad Pitt. Sonny appears to be down on his luck, as he lives in a van, and only makes ends meet by winning races here and there. Although he doesn't have a very solid career, Sonny seems content. He ostensibly has a gambling problem, but it never presents any serious obstacles for him. At the start of the film, Sonny's old friend Ruben (Javier Bardem) reappears in his life, saying that his skills are needed. Ruben leads a Formula One racing team that has been repeatedly losing, and Sonny's old-man experience -- not to mention his maverick-like, devil-may-care attitudes -- are required to whip the team into shape.

Sonny takes the job and meets the pit crew. Notably, he becomes the coach of Noah (Damson Idris), a skilled driver, but a cocky hotshot.

Today, Collider is inviting audiences to buckle up and prepare for the ride of their lives courtesy of an exclusive batch of first-look images for Shawn Simmons’ (Wayne) feature-length directorial debut, Eenie Meanie. Starring Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), the film is overflowing with high-octane sequences and stunt work that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. In addition to debuting the film’s first lineup of stills, we also caught up with Simmons to chat with him about what audiences can expect from the movie, which is set to speed onto Hulu later this summer.

Describing the production as something that will make you “feel like you’re watching this small, ‘90s indie, and then it blows up into this massive story,” Simmons provided a synopsis of the plot at the center of the movie, revealing:

“[Eenie Meanie is] a story about a former getaway driver trying to save the...

The promising college football career of Russ Holliday (played by Powell) is derailed by his misbehaviour. To make a fresh start, he assumes the persona of Chad Powers and joins a struggling Southern football team, using his talent and amiable personality to make a difference.

Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, Perry Mattfeld, Wynn Everett, Frankie A. Rodriguez, and Quentin Plair co-star in the series based on a character created by Eli Manning for his Epsn+ docuseries ‘Eli’s Places.’

The comedy series will premiere on Hulu on September 30th with two episodes. New episodes stream weekly on Tuesdays.

Apple TV+ is no stranger to the world of science fiction, with shows like Severance, Foundation, and the new Murderbot. Silo is no exception as the series, which just completed filming its third season, is making its way up the streaming charts.

Per FlixPatrol, Silo, which is based on author Hugh Howey’s original trilogy of novels, has moved up one spot on Apple TV+’s streaming chart. As of June 15, Silo is in ninth place in the Top 10 of all shows on the streamer.

Silo was created by two-time Emmy winner Graham Yost (Justified). The official synopsis of the series states that Silo is “the story of the last 10,000 people on Earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside.

Glen Powell turns “extremely ugly” for his upcoming comedy series, Chad Powers. The teaser for Powell’s forthcoming project is out, and it shows the American actor, otherwise known for his good looks and charming personality, donning a fake moustache, curly wigs, and bulky prosthetics to go undercover and join a new football team.

Inspired by Eli Manning’s viral alter ego, the series revolves around Russ Holliday (Glen Powell), a failed college football quarterback who goes ‘disguise mode’ to restart his football career. Going incognito for career, comedy, and witty…very Hannah Montana-ish. Looks like Powell’s coming series is that kind of comedy, Miley Cyrus might want to distance herself from.

Glen Powell is taking on what might be his most challenging performance yet in Chad Powers: playing an “extremely ugly” person.

In Hulu‘s first teaser for the upcoming comedy series, the first two episodes premiering Sept. 30 on the streaming platform, the Golden Globe nominee plays hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday, who disguises himself as the titular football player to join a new team after tanking his own college career.

Debuting during game four of the NBA Finals, the teaser sees Russ getting dragged on social media after dropping the ball during a crucial play.

“Everyone says I’m done with football,” he says in the teaser. “There’s no such thing as bad press.”

Getting fitted for a wig and a prosthetic nose, Powell’s leading jock proclaims, “If I can’t play as Russ, I’ll play as someone else.”

Now, the idea is getting its very own Hulu series from Michael Waldronstarring Glen Powellas Russ Holliday, a failed quarterback who is trying to get a second chance at it all. Manning is part of the series as an executive producer, and the rest of the cast includes Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia, Frankie A.

Powell and Michael Waldron are the co-creators and executive producers.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a father and his young adult daughter embark on a road trip that takes some comically uncomfortable twists and turns before they’re finally forced to say the unsaid things that created so much distance between them.

Rick Gomez’s directorial debut “She Dances” doesn’t win any points for originality, with a premise that could be found in one form or another on the festival circuit in pretty much every year since the dawn of independent film. And it’s a little too willing to indulge in cliches, particularly in a first act that’s dominated by tired plot points like “the teenage daughter doesn’t know how to change a flat tire and Dad insists on teaching her” and “the hotel mixed up our reservation, so we’re stuck at the worst motel in town.” But even if it...

There’s a famous story about director Martin Scorsese wanting to cast a “Cybill Shepherd type” for the role of Betsy the volunteer worker for his landmark 1976 film “Taxi Driver.” Shepherd’s agent, Sue Mengers, heard about the casting call and put forth none other than Shepherd herself.

“The Righteous Gemstones” casting department similarly went right to the top when looking for an actor to kick off the final season’s first episode. “Prelude” is a flashback-driven origin story of one Elijah Gemstone, a violent charlatan and drifter in the Civil War who possesses a gift for the grift, and the role is played by none other than Hollywood superstar Bradley Cooper.

“We needed somebody who the audience would immediately connect to, and that they would want to watch while not missing and hoping and wondering, ‘What’s going on here and where’s [Danny McBride’s] Jesse?’” casting director Sherry Thomas said.

Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie series has been rounding out its ensemble for the last few months, and now the show has just taken a colossal step forward. The streamer has officially announced that Little House on the Prairie, which stars Luke Bracey as Charles, Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline, Alice Halsey as Laura, and Skywalker Hughes as Mary, has officially begun production. The show is still lacking an official release date, but fans are optimistic that it will debut sometime next year with the pace it's moving at now. Netflix’s version of Little House on the Prairie is based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s series of novels that were released in the 1930s, and the show is also inspired by the series that came before, which ran from 1974 to 1983.

Rebecca Sonnenshine will write, showrun, and executive produce Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie series, which comes...

Directed by actor Rick Gomez in his feature filmmaking debut and co-written with actor Steve Zahn, the sweet yet uneven dramedy “She Dances” is a proud family affair both on screen and off. When the title credits read “Introducing Audrey Zahn” at the start, the effect is undeniably disarming — this is papa Zahn, among the friendliest faces of many an ensemble piece, swiftly nipping any “nepo baby” talk in the bud by enthusiastically supporting his talented daughter, and starring alongside her too.

Young Zahn justifies that pride throughout “She Dances,” which traces the story of a father and daughter as they navigate domestic trauma during a road trip, and mend their broken bond in the process. The stilted writing and direction, sadly, leave a lot to be desired: Emotions are under-explored and the humor misfires, with a perfectly capable cast asked to deliver some truly clunky lines. But the two...

There are probably quite a few proud fathers who would love to make a mainstream tribute to their own offspring. Few of them, however, have the resources — or talents — to handle it as well as Steve Zahn does with “She Dances.”

Zahn co-wrote, produced and stars with his dancer daughter Audrey in this lovely drama about, well, a proud father and his dancer daughter. But before we even see his perpetually fretting Jason, we meet her high school senior Claire. Claire and her mom Deb (Rosemarie DeWitt) are mildly panicked, because an emergency has come up and Deb can’t accompany Claire to her last-ever dance competition. It’s out of state and she needs a guardian, so … Jason it is. Claire wants nothing to do with her estranged father, and we can understand why when she and Deb call over to the depressing apartment where he lives. True to form,...

The 24th annual Tribeca Film Festival 2025 kicked off Wednesday, June 4, with the world premiere of Billy Joel: And So It Goes. Screening at the Beacon Theatre, the HBO original two-part documentary offers an expansive look into the legendary artist’s life, tracing the love, loss, and personal struggles that profoundly influenced his songwriting.

The opening night of the fest was attended by the film’s producer Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, Mariska Hargitay, Whoopi Goldberg, Mira Sorvino, Gary Goetzman, Steve Zahn, Rick Gomez, and many more. Joel, who is recovering from an illness, did not attend tonight.

The festival’s feature film slate includes Rose Byrne and Octavia Spencer starring in Tow; The Best You Can starring Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick marking their first co-starring roles in 20 years; Rosemead starring Lucy Liu; Dragonfly with Andrea Riseborough and Brenda Blethyn; and Everything’s Going to be Great starring Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney.

The Tribeca Film Festival is all about the music.

Three years ago, Taylor Swift brought her directorial debut short “All Too Well” and revealed her desire to continue working in film. This time, it’s Miley Cyrus who moves behind the camera with “Something Beautiful,” which is being billed as a “one-of-a-kind pop opera.”

“We’re all about showcasing new ways for people to express themselves and differentiate themselves and explore whatever new forms of storytelling are speaking to them,” says Jane Rosenthal, co-founder of Tribeca.

This year’s festival isn’t just about the pop culture icons — though it will premiere new documentaries on Metallica, De La Soul and Billy Joel. Tribeca’s nonfiction lineup also includes intimate looks at news legends, sushi masters and even a giant manta ray named “Willy Wow.”

Then there are films that put a meta-twist on things by having real-life fathers and daughters...

Few things bring people together like movies do — especially family films. And there are a whole lot to choose from at any given time, especially on Netflix.

Maybe you need an easy afternoon watch for the kids, or you’re looking for a meatier movie night for the whole family. Maybe you’re even watching alone and just want to see a good found family trope. There are countless options.

So, we’re going to try and make it easier for you. Below, you’ll find seven of the best kids and family movies streaming specifically on Netflix right now.

Universal Pictures Sing (2016)

Sometimes you just need a fun jukebox musical brought to life by A-list celebs voicing insane animals. And so, we suggest “Sing.” It’s got Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Hudson, Tori Kelly, and so many more, singing your favorite songs in a talent show to save a local theater.

Matthew McConaughey’s first movie in over five years recently debuted at SXSW to a stunning score of 97% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but one of his older films has been stealing the spotlight lately. McConaughey stars alongside Silo Season 2 veteran Steve Zahn in Sahara, the 2005 desert adventure following a master explorer who hunts for a lost Civil War battleship in the deserts of West Africa. Sahara has been streaming on Paramount+ for a while now, but the film recently surged into the streamer’s top 10, sitting at #9 at the time of writing. In addition to McConaughey and Zahn, Sahara also stars Penélope Cruz, and it earned a low score of 37% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a 53% rating from audiences on the Popcornmeter.

Sahara came at an interesting time in Matthew McConaughey’s career. He was still nearly 10 years removed from earning his first Academy Award nomination,...
