A crackling bulletin on Kiwa radio sets the stage: humanity hurtles toward oblivion with an asteroid cluster bearing down, its timetable etched into every ticker. In that echo of impending doom, When I’m Ready uncovers the fragile poetry of final days, as life’s ordinary rhythms fracture under the weight of the unstoppable.

Michael and Rose emerge as reluctant heralds of the end—two twenty‑somethings who trade dorm room routines for a ’70s king‑cab Ford and a pilgrimage through America’s silent arteries. Their newfound romance unfolds against a canvas emptied of commerce and chatter, where petrol stops and trespassing on vacant porches become acts of intimacy.

Behind the camera, Andrew Johnson guides the film with a steady hand, letting moments of playful recklessness slip into lingering questions of regret. Andrew Ortenberg’s screenplay sidesteps heavy exposition, favoring elliptical dialogue that flutters between anxiety and levity. Rachael Kliman...

Over the past few years, especially during and after Covid, the movie business has been quite unpredictable. 2024 was filled with all sorts of hits and flops as well, and 2025 is going to be a crucial year, especially after the Hollywood strikes.

Much like the mentioned general scenario, Marvel Studios has been facing ups and downs lately, and Captain America: Brave New World looks more crucial because of this. On the other hand, films like You, Me & Her are trying to experiment with a new sort of film release model.

Emily in Paris season 4, part 2 has viewers wondering more about the newly introduced Genevive and the actor who plays her, Thalia Besson. For the most part, Emily in Paris' cast of characters didn't change too much in the fourth outing. Aside from Genevive, Laurent G's (Arnaud Binard) daughter, Emily's new love interest, Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini), was the biggest addition to the rom-com's ensemble. Given Emily in Paris season 4, part 2's ending, it seems like both Genevive and Marcello will have even more significant roles in the show's fifth season.

In the wake of a devastating breakup with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), Emily (Lily Collins) tries even harder to keep her personal and professional lives separate. Although that seems to work for a little while, Marcello's family business, the Umberto Muratori cashmere company, complicates things. With Sylvie's encouragement, Emily winds up pitching the Agence Grateau marketing form to the Muratori family.
