The world of Elio adds another visual treat to Pixar’s vast repertoire. Communiverse, the planet where Elio finds himself, exists as a breathtaking kaleidoscope of colors, abundant in unique alien species and advanced technology.
This mystery-thriller kept me guessing. It is set in England and, in part, at an old family estate in the country, both of which lend to the movie's mystery. From the beginning, I could feel the tension that proved to weave throughout the story.
By the end, I was a bit conflicted, though, and so that’s why I thought I’d offer this quick take for those on the fence about watching The Wrecking Crew (2026).
It’s not a remake of the 1994 film — that dubious honor goes to Jon Favreau’s 2019 offering. Nevertheless, this prequel still lands in the same tricky territory as the first one, much to the consternation of this Disney Animation fan.
Would this documentary be a respectful tribute to Viv, or would it be a hastily cobbled-together piece that served only to sensationalize the lurid aspects of their life?
There are plenty of reasons this movie has captured everyone’s attention. It performed so well on Netflix that the platform decided to give it a limited theatrical run, and in just one weekend, it earned an impressive $18 to $20 million at the box office.
Unlike some movie musicals, such as My Fair Lady which placed dramatic actors in the main roles and either allowed them to do their singing best (Rex Harrison, who talked his way through most of his numbers) or actually dub, as in Marni Nixon's singing over Audrey Hepburn's lip-synching, Oklahoma placed actual singers in most of the roles.

I typically hate it when live-action remakes, particularly those with musical theater flairs, go off their original scores. However, Snow White (2025) is different. The new songs deepen the characters’ emotions and drives while creating more beats for the plotline. Not to mention Rachel Zegler’s voice is phenomenal.
The remake came as a surprise to some, but it was well-received, especially by those who hadn’t seen the original. They enjoyed the visuals and were excited to see a movie centered around dragons. For those of us who grew up with the original How to Train Your Dragon, the trailer alone brought back that same joy and nostalgia.
