To kickstart their very Mission: Impossible focused CinemaCon presentation, Paramount first debuted the official trailer for their upcoming action-comedy The Naked Gun, a movie they are cheekily describing as "The single most important Naked Gun movie since the other Naked Gun movies."

It's a short teaser, featuring leading man Liam Neeson, as he intervenes during a bank heist, but you're going to have to just watch it to believe it. We also learn that he's playing Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen's Lt. Frank Drebin, who the film will honor and it seems like they'll do it in typical Naked Gun fashion.

The film will provide some much-needed humor to an action-packed summer, opening in the wake of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps and opposite the animated sequel The Bad Guys 2 and the body horror film Together. It's likely Fantastic Four will repeat as the box office champ,...

Mikey Madison has experienced a meteoric rise to superstardom thanks to her Academy Award-winning performance in Sean Baker's romantic dramedy Anora, in which the talented leading lady beautifully portrayed the titular New York stripper who experiences a whirlwind love affair with the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. Not only did the acclaimed picture take home five golden statuettes, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Madison, but it also became Baker's highest-grossing film of his blossoming career thus far.

Though it may seem as though Madison came out of nowhere when she took audiences by storm with her career-defining performance, the actress had actually been hustling in Hollywood for years before headlining the captivating indie hit. In fact, Baker first became a fan of the actress when she appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, though it was her diabolical role as Amber Freeman...

What’s not to like about Wild Cards Season 2 Episode 2?

We had Ellimax two-stepping, Ally Sheedy, and Martin Sheen. Yee-haw on all fronts, including the Ellimax angst that the series delivers.

“Once a Con a Time in the West” is a fun installment and has enough Yellowstone vibes to make a girl smile more than I did watching Yellowstone Season 5, but that’s neither here nor there.

( Justine Yeung/The CW) Wild Cards Channels Yellowstone with a Ranch Rivalry Case

The case is an opportunity to see another side to Cole, who has an endless bag of talents. It’s not something exclusive to Max, which is part of what makes their partnership intriguing.

Cole can ride a horse like a cover model in a romance novel, and I love it. It was endearing as Max was out of her element on the ranch, and she seemed to be afraid of horses.

The announcement of a Little House on the Prairie reboot has sparked a familiar debate: How do you revive a beloved classic in today’s world without erasing what made it special?

Reboots are a balancing act. Change too much, and fans feel like they’ve lost the show they loved. Change too little, and it risks feeling outdated. It’s even trickier with historical dramas, where modern sensibilities clash with past realities.

We’ve seen recent attempts to refresh classic family shows, most notably The Waltons. The CW’s Waltons movies returned the family with a new cast and a fresh take.

They made some changes — most notably, introducing an adoption storyline by tweaking Ben’s history — but they didn’t reinvent the core of what made The Waltons work.

It was still warm, sentimental, and deeply rooted in the Depression-era struggles that defined the original.

To kick off 2025, Netflix has added a new slate of films to its streaming library, highlighted by Dune: Part Two. Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi blockbuster, which Consequence named the fourth best film of 2024, is streaming on the service as of January 1st.

Dune: Part Two, which stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, and more, remains available to stream on Max. The first Dune movie can also be streamed on both Netflix and Max. Additionally, both films are available to purchase together in 4K Uhd.

Other new titles available to stream on Netflix as of January 1st include Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire; Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga; Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter 1; The Watchers; Inception; Meet the Parents and its sequels Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers; Apollo 13; Love Actually; Schindler’s List; the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy; Rush Hour franchise; and Bruce Almighty.

The year is almost done, Netflix fans. Every month there are some changes to what the giant streams, but something about beginning a new year feels different. Even if you have seen some of the following shows before, you have never seen them in 2025. Not yet anyway.

Netflix goes extra-heavy with new releases at the start of January. There will be new releases throughout the month, but nothing like January 1. You might want to work your monthly calendar around that day alone.

But what is coming out and when? That list is below.

Liza Minnelli has packed so much into her life already. The daughter of Hollywood icons Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, she was surrounded by show business from the very beginning. With a talent like her mother’s, it was surely destined that Liza would find her way to the spotlight too. But her path was not easy, facing high expectations and private struggles along the way.

Now, audiences can get an inside look at Liza’s journey with the new documentary Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story, directed by Bruce David Klein. Through interviews with Liza herself, as well as those who know her best, we learn how she navigated losing her mother at a young age and then battled to make her own name.

We also see rare archival footage of the early years. It’s clear Klein wanted to craft a fitting tribute to this legendary performer...

I hope you’re ready to explore a different kind of upside-down because Playstation Productions and Scott Free Productions are developing a film based on the 2012 action-adventure video game Gravity Rush. Shameless and Runaways director Anna Mastro is directing from a script by Emily Jerome (Panopticon).
