Hugh Jackman Leads All-Star Cast in "The Sheep Detectives," Coming May 2026

Amazon MGM Studios and Working Title Films have announced that the upcoming family comedy-mystery, The Sheep Detectives, is set to arrive in theaters on May 8, 2026. Based on the novel Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann, the film follows George (Hugh Jackman), a shepherd who spends his evenings reading detective stories to his flock under the impression that they cannot understand a word. However, when a mysterious incident disrupts the peace on the farm, the sheep reveal they have been paying close attention. Forced into action, the flock begins to investigate human suspects and follow clues, proving themselves to be a surprisingly brilliant group of crime-solvers. The production features a high-profile creative team, including director Kyle Balda and screenwriter Craig Mazin. Behind the scenes, the project is produced by Lindsay Doran, Tim Bevan, and Eric Fellner, with executive producers including Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The ensemble cast is equally impressive, featuring a ma...

Paradise Turns Into a Primal Nightmare: Johannes Roberts’ PRIMATE Swings Onto Home Video This April

  Johannes Roberts, the director who famously turned the ocean into a claustrophobic death trap in 47 Meters Down, is trading shark-infested waters for a sun-drenched Hawaiian villa in his latest horror-thriller, Primate. Scheduled for release on Blu-ray and DVD on April 21st, the film follows Lucy (Johnny Sequoyah) as her tropical homecoming turns into a desperate struggle for survival. What begins as a relaxing reunion with friends quickly spirals into "terrifying chaos" when the family’s exceptionally intelligent chimpanzee, Ben, enters a savage, rabid frenzy. With her father away and the group trapped in their remote island estate, the once-trusted pet becomes a lethal predator, transforming a luxury paradise into a bloody prison. The home media release, distributed by Paramount Pictures, offers an extensive look behind the curtain of this "cinematic nightmare." Fans can dive into a full-length commentary track featuring Roberts and producer Walter Hamada, or ex...

Hawkins is Forever: ‘Stranger Things’ The Complete Series Hits 4K UHD and Blu-ray This July

After nearly a decade of supernatural mysteries, Demogorgons, and Eighties nostalgia, the definitive physical collection of Hawkins’ history is finally coming home. Arrow Films, in partnership with Netflix, has officially announced that Stranger Things: The Complete Series will be released on Blu-ray and stunning 4K UHD this summer.

The Stöned Age Finally Hits Blu-ray via Vestron Video Collector’s Series

The 1994 cult classic The Stöned Age is joining the Vestron Video Collector’s Series as entry #38. Lionsgate Limited is releasing the Blu-ray debut on April 20th, the perfect date to celebrate a movie that may not have invented but certainly embraces the "one wild night" stoner comedy vibe. I first saw The Stöned Age back in high school, not long after discovering Dazed and Confused. At the time, I will be honest, I dismissed it. I wrote it off as another movie trying to capture the same 70's nostalgia vibe, cruising around, chasing girls, and killing time with friends. But over the years, I'd revisit it from time to time, and each time it hit a little differently. What I'd originally written off as just another copycat actually turned out to have its own thing going on. It is rougher around the edges, a little louder, and full of a particular kind of Southern California troublemaking. Eventually, it clicked for me that the film was not trying to be Dazed and Conf...

The Pillar of Independence: Why We Must Guard the Press Against Political Partiality

Getty Images for Free Press Look, no matter where you fall politically... left, right, or somewhere in between, there’s one principle that should matter to everyone: a free society depends on a press that isn’t beholden to the people in power. The job of journalists is to question authority and hold leaders accountable, not echo whatever those leaders want the public to hear. That’s why the protests organized by Free Press during the Academy Awards have caught people’s attention. This weekend, a mobile billboard circling the Dolby Theatre is taking a jab at a proposed $110 billion merger involving Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery. The protest is designed to be silly, sure, but the underlying concern is serious: critics worry that a deal this big could reshape the media landscape in ways that make the press less independent, not more. At the center of the controversy is David Ellison and the broader consolidation effort around Warner Bros. Discovery. If everything comes toget...

“I Hate Rats”: New Clip From Horror Thriller DO NOT ENTER Reveals Crawling Nightmares

Lionsgate has released a skin-crawling new clip titled “I Hate Rats” from the upcoming horror film DO NOT ENTER, which is set to deliver a high-stakes, claustrophobic nightmare when it hits theaters, digital, and on-demand platforms on March 20, 2026. Based on the acclaimed book Creepers by David Morrell and directed by Marc Klasfeld, the film follows a group of thrill-seeking urban explorers known as the "Creepers" as they attempt to livestream from New Jersey’s abandoned Paragon Hotel. The newly released scene showcases the intense physical and psychological toll on the lead characters, including Jake Manley, Adeline Rudolph, Francesca Reale, Shane Paul McGhie, and Laurence O’Fuarain, as they navigate a narrow, rusted drainage tunnel only to be swarmed by a massive flood of rats. This frantic scramble for safety highlights the film's R-rating for bloody violence and language, as the characters struggle to shield themselves from the deluge of vermin before a weary charac...

From SXSW Darling to Theatrical Debut: New York Rom-Com ‘Fantasy Life’ Hits Theaters This March

The New York indie scene is about to get a shot in the arm with the upcoming theatrical release of Fantasy Life. After cleaning up on the festival circuit, taking home the Audience Award and a Special Jury Award for Amanda Peet at SXSW, this "smart New York romantic comedy" is finally heading to the big screen. The film kicks off its run in New York City on March 27th, followed by a nationwide expansion on April 3rd. The story follows Sam Stein (played by writer-director Matthew Shear), a down-on-his-luck paralegal who pivots from a mid-career panic attack into an unexpected gig babysitting for his own psychiatrist. The job takes him to Martha’s Vineyard for the summer, where he finds himself living in a crowded, high-energy house with the woman he’s falling for (Amanda Peet), her rock-bassist husband (Alessandro Nivola), and a revolving door of quirky grandparents. It’s a classic setup for a comedy of errors, grounded by what critics are already calling a powerhouse performa...
