Drop is a tightly wound Blumhouse thriller from director Christopher Landon, the filmmaker behind Happy Death Day and Freaky. Meghann Fahy, breaking out after The White Lotus, stars as Violet, a widowed single mother stepping back into the dating world for the first time in years. Her date at an upscale high-rise restaurant is meant to be a fresh start — until her phone begins to buzz.
As Violet sits across from her seemingly perfect date, Henry (Brandon Sklenar), she starts receiving anonymous, escalating messages through an AirDrop-style app. The sender can see her, is somewhere inside the restaurant, and threatens to have her young son killed at home unless she obeys — including a demand that she murder her date. Unfolding almost in real time within a single location, the film turns a candlelit dinner into an agonizing pressure cooker.
Written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach and produced under the Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes banners, Drop opened in April 2025 to an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score and strong word of mouth for Fahy, grossing roughly $28 million against an $11 million budget. Critics praised how Landon sustains tension almost entirely through a woman, a phone and a table she cannot leave.
Revival of predation franchise, announced by Robert Rodriguez, featuring in The Losers as a writer and producer, became not so spectacular as it was waiting for. For the movie directed by Nimrod Antal we are expecting something more than running through the woods in the style of "Rambo: First Blood" and in a spirit of divination "who will die next." The maximum that allowed himself to Rodriguez is sadly growing number of corpses, a little red and green blood and uncertain statement that predators are the people themselves, supported by a quote from Hemingway. Statement by the way, in this case, is little bit controversial, since a good half of the time most of the earthlings saves and covers each other: like in the best tradition of some honest and not always exciting team play.
In Legion movie Scott Stewart started with the Terminator's intro to put action in classic place, a roadside cafe, surrounded with hordes of vile creatures, and finished with the battle of clubs and iron wings. This could be invented only by a person for whom the entertainment is a major part of any movie. Scott Stewart, who created the visual effects for "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Iron Man" and dozens of famous films, has performed the task perfectly well. The only question arise, is it normal when a movie where most of humanity dies, and survivals are continuously referring to the Bible?
Guy Ritchie has made of Sherlock Holmes's character in style of Tony Stark (Iron Man). The film looks fascinating, especially as for part of mystery stories, capable of grasping the whole 128 minutes, and at the same time funny, not devoid of jokes and humor, defusing a tense situation of the investigation. But in the end not only the integrity covers the entire film, gathering in one large mosaics of events, but also anxiously expectation for the sequel, because like the Joker card in the first Nolan's "Batman", the ending is virtually guaranteed that the movie is just a kind of "Sherlock Holmes: The Beginning" and the masterpiece "The London Knight" awaits us in the near future.
The story of the Dear John movie about the brave soldier and the windy girl built in such a way to make the audience especially girls, put their handkerchiefs to the corner of the eye and not only in the finale, but also regularly thru the movie. Sometimes it works quite well, sometimes looks outright false. Oddly, but Amanda Seyfried, who has the best roles in the recent three movie surprises here with inappropriate affectation, and in general much spoils the film. In contrast of Amanda, Channing Tatum, who portrays a very solid character on the one hand, and the typical American soldier, on the other, represents quite live, deeply feeling person, which looks very attracting.

The Last Airbender this is very entertaining movie in which poetry takes on flesh and spirit, and reality is being built at the height of the myth. The film is like a dream in which your dreams come true, where are the real heroes, in which good struggles with evil and the fight cannot be won easily. The words "tricks", "special effects", "computer technology" for the Shyamalan's movie pertain only to be nominal. In fact, everything you see in The Last Airbender looks like real magic. So, as movie should be. Air Nomads, Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, and the people of Fire. Four nations were bound by fate, when the people of the Fire started a brutal war against all. A hundred years without any hope to change something in this world. The people of the Fire almost close to victory in the war.

When you are watching "Knight and Day" movie it becomes apparent that James Mangold learned the lesson: every frame of thought, each replica is built firmly. At the same time he manages to step through the chaos and create a parody to give dialogue and action well thought absurd. Tom Cruise in every way made fun of his character of "Mission: Impossible" and yet again demonstrates the comic potential, and Diaz ecstatically shaking blonde hairs and runs on his heels, it becomes like a Goldie Hawn *and it's a compliment*. However, both stars of "Knight and Day" is steadily getting older, and it shows, despite the fact that between them the entire movie running around constantly vitalizing action currents.
Kick-ass is nearly two hours of cinematic pleasure consisting of excellent humor, drive action, great characters, amusing stories, cool music and lots of pleasant details, nuances and references. But the main thing is the brutal force fan factor that causes an irresistible desire to watch and review.
The Karate Kid movie, of course, will be liked by the boys who get involved in martial arts. The film features fascinating and dynamic duels that is funny to watch both children and adults, just because their set required the best experts in Hollywood. However, still we must not forget that this is a children's film, so the story rather naive, although everybody will be satisfied: there are an eternal confrontation between good character's bullies, a strained relationships with parents, and, of course, first love. It should be noted that a great idea was to combine in one picture teen action martial arts and contemplative film about the life and culture of China. While the children enjoy the adventures of a young hero, adults can enjoy the views of modern Beijing, the colorful carnival and the ancient Forbidden City.
