source: saltypopcorn.co.uk
Synopsis:

"Scream 7" (2026) is a thriller film and a direct sequel to Scream VI, marking the seventh stage in the Scream franchise. Directed by Kevin Williamson, the creator of the original Scream characters, and co-written by Guy Busick, the film hits theaters on February 25, 2026.

Sidney Prescott, now living in the small town of Pine Grove, Indiana, tries to leave her past terrors behind. However, her peace is shattered when Ghostface reappears, targeting her daughter, Tatum, as next victim. Sidney must face her old trauma and stand against Ghostface to protect her family. The film promises the classic Scream vibe with more intense Ghostface terror. The combination of old and new faces in the cast adds to the excitement.

This film stars: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Isabel May, Jasmin Savoy-Brown, Mason Gooding and more.

In my opinion:

Finally, the film I've been waiting for is out. Maybe this is the last saga of Scream, because it could get boring if continued haha. The Scream plot is pretty standard, you know. Personally, what drew me in was the brutality of the killings. And sure enough, the murders in this film are quite brutal. It's a pity Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega aren't part of this film. I heard Melissa was dropped due to her support for Palestine, and Jenna showed solidarity with Melissa and quit. I also heard it took a lot of extra funding to rewrite the story for Scream 7.

Synopsis:

"Skyscraper Live" (2026) is a live show on Netflix featuring Alex Honnold, an American free solo climber, as he attempts to climb Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world, without ropes or safety equipment. The show was broadcast live on January 25, 2026, and lasted for 117 minutes. In this show, Honnold attempts to climb the 101-story building, which has a unique design resembling stacked bamboo boxes. The show also features live commentary from hosts like Elle Duncan and Seth 'Freakin' Rollins, as well as clips of Honnold training and spending time with his family.

Reviews for Skyscraper Live (2026) are mixed. Some critics call it "jaw-dropping" and "engaging", while others feel the show is too monotonous. However, many praise Honnold's bravery and skill in climbing the building. Honnold successfully completed the climb in 1 hour 31 minutes, and was met with thunderous applause from the audience. The show also sparked discussions about safety and risks associated with free solo climbing.

In my opinion:

Wow.. Oh my God.. I'm truly speechless. Alex Honnold is not human, he's a meta-human!! How is it logically possible for him to climb the Taipei 101 building without any equipment? Just hands and feet? This guy is crazy! Alex Honnold is a legend in the climbing world. I admit this is my first time seeing him. He has achieved so much, conquering Half Dome (2008) and El Capitan (2017) in Yosemite National Park, Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park (2008), and now the Taipei 101 Building. 

Broken Bonds

Synopsis:

"Broken Bonds" (2026) is a crime thriller directed by David Y. Chung and is now available on Tubi. The film tells the story of three barmaids struggling to overcome their personal problems, including domestic violence, medical debt, and financial difficulties. However, one day they stumble upon money from a drug deal. They take it and become targets of a detective with a personal vendetta.

Reviews of the film are mixed, with some critics calling it "disappointing" and "cliché", while others praise the acting and character development. However, overall, the film seems to have the potential to be an engaging movie, especially with themes such as betrayal, loyalty, and the struggle to survive.

This film stars: Ciera Angelia, Bella Chadwick, Robyn Rose, Don Snipes, Marcus Woods and more.

In my opinion:

I have reviewed two Tubi films so far, "Twin" and "How to Lose a Popularity Contest". I can say the results are still tied 1:1, because the second film was better than the first (in my opinion). This time I got another Tubi film, and this one is a crime drama (I prefer calling it crime rather than thriller). I have mixed feelings about this film. The core of the film has several storylines, from a drug dealer trying to quit to a cop who harbors a grudge and acts recklessly.

Hands

source: filmflow.tv
Synopsis:

"Hands" (2026) is an action fight film directed by Justin Kuhn, telling the story of a pair of underground fighters who must prove themselves as the best against cunning rivals and merciless fighters. They must choose between victory and revenge.

Unfortunately, reviews of the film are not too positive, criticizing the unnatural cinematography, lack of substance in the script, and unsatisfying fight choreography. Reviews mention that "Hands" has an '80s-'90s martial arts vibe, but the execution falls short, including a climactic final fight that feels rushed. The focus on female fighters is a plus, but the choreography is just mediocre. Overall, "Hands" is an average action film, not terrible but not great either. If you enjoy martial arts action films, you might watch it.

This film stars: Ashley A. Williams, Tanjareen Martin, Donald Gibb, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson and more.

In my opinion:

I now have my own term, I'll call films with many flaws but still watchable as "modern B-movies". When I saw the poster, I imagined an intense fight film. Yeah! Because the poster made me do it. But reality was, hhhh... I'm quite disappointed.

How to Lose a Popularity Contest

Synopsis:

"How to Lose a Popularity Contest" (2026) is a romantic comedy directed by Stephen S. Campanelli, premiering on Tubi on January 16, 2026. The film tells the story of two unlikely high school students, Nate Reed, a rebellious student, and Ellie Pearson, a perfectionist, who team up to make Nate the student council president. They form an unexpected alliance and discover unexpected feelings along the way.

Reviews of the film are scarce, but based on the trailer, it seems like a fun and lighthearted romantic comedy. If you enjoy films like "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" or "The Duff", you might enjoy this one!

This film stars: Sara Waisglass, Chase Hudson (Huddy), Graham Verchere, Lillian Doucet-Roche and more.

In my opinion:

Perhaps one of my favorite romance dramas is the one with a teenage romance theme. Yeah, for me, the rebellious and carefree teenage vibe is more appealing than the stiff adult romance life (Just my opinion).
