The Devil Wears Prada 2

Synopsis:

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) is a comedy drama with a runtime of 1 hour 59 minutes and was released on May 1, 2026. The film is a sequel to the same title and is directed by David Frankel. 20 years after the first film, the world of Runway Magazine has changed completely. Miranda Priestly is still a fashion icon, but her career is wobbling. Runway, which used to dominate in print, is now forced to move to digital: podcasts, newsletters, TikTok, all for ads and survival. Andy Sachs is now a famous journalist in New York, at Vanguard. But at an awards ceremony, her entire editorial team is laid off via text message. 

Because she went viral after a speech about press freedom, Runway owner Irv Ravitz recruits Andy as features editor without Miranda’s permission. Andy returns to Miranda’s orbit, this time to save Runway’s reputation. On the other hand, Emily Charlton is now working for Dior US and has her own agenda. The film tackles the theme of the decline of traditional magazines, AI, social media, and media consolidation that makes Runway no longer as influential as before.

Critics praised the chemistry between Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, all of whom have not lost their characters like in the first film. Miranda still has authority, but now she is more tired and human. Critics say the plot feels familiar, the story structure adapts beats from the first film. The middle act is a bit slow, and some conflicts are resolved too easily.

This film stars: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simone Ashley and more.

In my opinion:

Apex

Synopsis:

Apex (2026) is an action thriller film with a runtime of 1 hour 35 minutes, directed by Baltasar Kormákur. The film was released on Netflix on April 24, 2026. Sasha is an extreme sports athlete skilled at rock climbing. After experiencing a tragedy in Norway that killed her boyfriend Tommy, Sasha is haunted by guilt. She goes to Wandarra National Park, Australia for solo kayaking on rapids, as a way to test her limits and find peace. There, she is warned by a local ranger that many people have gone missing on that route. Sasha meets Ben, a local adventurer who is initially friendly and helpful. But it turns out Ben is a deranged hunter who makes humans his prey. He challenges Sasha to a deadly chase game in the wilderness. What started as a healing journey turns into a fight for survival. Sasha must shed her "civilized" side and rely on survival instincts that are strikingly similar to her past mistakes.

Critics praised Charlize Theron’s strong performance as Sasha, who is athletic, tough, and resilient. Then Taron Egerton as Ben, the frightening yet charismatic villain. Baltasar Kormákur’s direction strengthens the survival elements. The scenes of rock climbing, waterfalls, and rapids feel real and intense. This is a 95-minute film without much filler.

This film stars: Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, Eric Bana and more.

In my opinion:

Nature is not evil, humans are. Nature works according to its nature, but humans are the ones who disturb it. That’s what I took from this film: in the wilderness, where I’m sure there are dangerous wild animals, deadly terrain, extreme conditions, if we obey the rules of nature then we will be fine. But if humans, they do not care about place and condition, if their evil side emerges, then it will be very dangerous. So I can conclude, the meaning of Apex here is human hunter.

Synopsis:

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) is an Animation in the adventure fantasy genre with a runtime of 98 minutes and was released on April 3, 2026. After successfully thwarting Bowser’s plan to marry Princess Peach in the first film, Mario and Luigi now face a new threat: Bowser Jr., Bowser’s son. He is determined to free his father from captivity and restore the Koopa family’s glory. Along with old and new friends, the two brothers must journey across the stars to stop the young heir’s mission. This film takes its setting and references from Super Mario Galaxy, so you’ll see new things like characters, planets, and iconic items.

Fans reacted positively. The film is considered to have taken the Mario franchise to a new level with a fresh space adventure. This sequel raises the scale of the adventure, not only funny and lighthearted, but also visually a feast for the eyes

This film stars: Chris Pratt, Anya-Taylor Joy, Brie Larson, Jack Black and more.

In my opinion:

Mmm… how do I put this? For a film I’ve been waiting for, this sequel didn’t impress me that much. I felt the story moved too fast, I felt the ‘finding each other’ moments were too easy. For example, where Bowser Jr. finds Bowser, or where the Starfox ship is found and just chased by Bowser Jr., and there are still a few more. On the other hand, there’s something that doesn’t quite fit or make sense. Like, is there oxygen in outer space?? Because when Mario’s team boards the Starfox ship, it’s as if they’re riding a car without a roof. Their hair is blowing and they breathe normally, hey, this is outer space, right? Then in the post credit scene, after Starfox fixes his ship and is ready for takeoff, when he sits in the cockpit, there’s a canopy that closes, just like a spaceship (which, where this makes sense for a spaceship, right?).

Hive

source: tv.lk21

Synopsis:

Hive (2026) is a 91-minute mystery horror film directed by Felipe Vargas. The film was released on April 17, 2026, on Tubi. It tells the story of Sasha, an anxious and perfectionist teenager, who gets a routine babysitting job. While watching the child in her care at a playground, the child suddenly disappears. What makes it scary is that the other children at the playground also start behaving strangely. Sasha’s world slowly falls apart and reality begins to unravel. Nothing can be trusted and danger lurks. She must get out of this "psychological maze" with a clear head, while figuring out what is real and what isn’t, before the situation completely spirals out of control. This film is adapted from a short film with the same title by Felipe Vargas.

Critics say the final result “isn’t very good”. The story feels very small and the pacing doesn’t flow well. The story idea is good, but the execution of the full-length film still needs refining. This film leans more toward psychological supernatural horror than jump scares or violence.

This film stars: Xochitl Gomez, Aaron Dominguez, Zenobia Kloppers, Victoria Firsova and more.

In my opinion:

I swear, I thought this was an adventure comedy film. Because the poster shows Xochitl Gomez posing like DoraThe Explorer. Turns out this is a mystery horror film, haha, or maybe there are several posters and I got one that was misleading like that. By the way, in my opinion Xochitl isn’t really suited for horror or thriller films. I think she’s better suited for fantasy adventure films with a touch of comedy. Because, like I said, she’s like Dora The Explorer, hehe.

They Will Kill You

source: tv.lk21

Synopsis:

They Will Kill You (2026) is an Action Comedy Horror film with a runtime of 94 minutes, directed by Kirill Sokolov. After being released from prison, Asia Reaves needs a job quickly. She finds an ad for a maid position in a luxurious skyscraper called "The Virgil" in New York City. At first, it looks normal. But gradually Asia realizes that all the housekeepers before her disappeared without a trace. It turns out the building is a lair for a demonic cult that needs victims for rituals. Asia is trapped and must survive an entire night so she doesn’t become their next offering. This cult has strange rules, eccentric members, and she has to fight them by any means necessary. The film becomes a blend of blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy with many creative kills and dark humor.

This film stars: Zazie Beetz, Heather Graham, Patricia Arquette, Tom Felton and more.

In my opinion:

Actually, the story is a bit messy, but this film is exciting because of its brutal action. I’m a fan of sadistic thrillers, the gore ones, so this film is enjoyable for me. I think the story idea is very unique, like a mix of John Wick and Ready or Not but at a different level. The reason I call it a bit messy is that the film’s pace is made quite fast, yet all of that can be enjoyable because of the brutal scenes that trigger adrenaline.
