‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ (2025)

Ethan Hunt is back for his most challenging mission yet, facing off against a dangerous artificial intelligence known as the Entity that could throw the world into chaos. Tom Cruise and the IMF team are in a frantic scramble to find the Entity’s core code, which is hidden on a sunken Russian submarine. With the stakes incredibly high and familiar foes reappearing, the future of humankind is on the line. This latest installment in the action series delivers thrilling stunts and gripping spy action, bringing Ethan Hunt’s story to a dramatic climax as he puts everything on the line to save the world.

‘The Running Man’ (2025)

Edgar Wright’s new film is a close adaptation of Stephen King’s novel (originally published as Richard Bachman’s ‘The Running Man’). Glen Powell plays Ben Richards, a man driven to participate in a dangerous, televised game show to protect his family. This version is much more aligned with the bleak and realistic feel of the book, unlike the 1987 film. Richards is hunted by skilled killers, all while the nation watches his fight for survival unfold live on television. The movie examines how the media can be used to control people and how society has become numb to violence.

‘Roofman’ (2025)

Channing Tatum stars as Jeffrey Manchester, a surprisingly charming criminal in this movie based on a true story. Manchester, nicknamed the ‘Roofman,’ became known for robbing McDonald’s restaurants by literally drilling through the roofs to avoid alarms. The film follows his unusual crime spree and his knack for winning over employees during the robberies. As he tries to stay out of the police’s grasp, his double life begins to unravel. The movie is a blend of a thrilling heist story and a look into the life of a polite, but daring, outlaw.

‘Old Guy’ (2025)

Christoph Waltz plays an older hitman who thinks he’s still the best in the business. His company makes him train a young, tech-savvy newcomer, and the two quickly clash over how to do the job. This action-comedy shows the difference between old-school methods and modern, high-tech assassination. They’re forced to work together on a risky mission, and must learn to cooperate if they want to make it out alive. The film features Waltz’s trademark humor and plenty of exciting action.

‘Regretting You’ (2025)

This moving drama, based on the popular novel by Colleen Hoover, explores the complicated bond between a mother and daughter. Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace star as a mother and daughter dealing with loss and secrets after a devastating accident. As they try to heal and move forward, old hurts and long-held secrets risk driving them apart. The film touches on themes of forgiveness, first love, and the challenges of making amends, offering a deeply emotional look at family relationships and guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes.

‘Novocaine’ (2025)

Okay, so I just saw this really fun action-comedy starring Jack Quaid, and it’s a wild ride. He plays a totally normal bank teller with this incredibly strange condition – he can’t feel pain. Sounds cool, right? Well, when robbers hit his bank, it turns out being numb is a surprisingly useful superpower. The movie is a blast because it takes this ordinary guy and throws him into a completely insane situation, and the filmmakers, Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, really lean into the physicality of the fight scenes while keeping things surprisingly funny. It’s a clever twist on the ‘average Joe’ story, and honestly, it’s a really unique and entertaining film.

‘Boudica’ (2023)

Olga Kurylenko plays the role of a powerful Celtic queen who sparks a major revolt against the Roman Empire. Driven by the loss of her husband and the mistreatment of her daughters, she brings together the separate tribes of Britain. The film tells the story of her journey from a grieving mother to a figurehead of revenge and liberation. It features intense battle scenes showing the conflict between the organized Roman army and the passionate Celtic warriors, and portrays a famous historical rebellion against Roman power.

‘Due Justice’ (2023)

I’m really hooked on this new movie! It follows Kellan Lutz, who plays a former marine who becomes a lawyer, but his world falls apart when his wife is killed and his brother is taken. He gets so fed up with how slow and ineffective the legal system is that he decides to take the law into his own hands. It’s a dark and intense story about his journey into the criminal world as he tries to find the people who ruined his family. It really shows how much it costs him, both physically and emotionally, to try and get justice outside of the system. There are a lot of brutal fight scenes as he relentlessly pursues those responsible.

‘Scream’ (2022)

Twenty-five years after the original killings, the iconic slasher franchise returns to Woodsboro with a new Ghostface terrorizing a fresh group of teenagers. This time, the victims have surprising connections to the town’s history, and original survivors Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley are back to help. The film playfully pokes fun at current horror movie tropes while still delivering the classic suspense and mystery the series is known for, appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

After three decades, Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell returns to the Top Gun flight school to train a new group of elite pilots for a dangerous mission. He unexpectedly comes face-to-face with Lieutenant Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw, the son of his late wingman, forcing him to deal with painful memories and unresolved grief. The film is visually stunning, with actors actually filming inside fighter jets. Maverick must demonstrate that a pilot’s skill and courage are still vital, even as drone technology takes over modern warfare. It’s both an exciting celebration of flight and a deeply moving look at one man’s journey.
