As 2025 comes to a close, it’s time to look ahead at what 2026 brings us, and it is certainly a stacked list which, I would argue, could make for the best box office year since yet in this post-pandemic world. #DenisVilleneuve #DunePartThree

Most movie enthusiasts are aware of the eventual outcome on the screen, but very few of them look behind every emerging talent. With this story, you are pulled into actual action, actual tension and actual hope that influences young actors before their one big part comes.

Sometimes, small details in someone's appearance make them look so picture-perfect. You may have seen it in several Hollywood romantic flicks. Every single detail matters, including the dress, shoes, bags, and even the earrings used. #CostumeDesigners

Have you ever felt that a film could make the sound of water speak? The Canoe (2017) rewards viewers who listen: the tapping of paddles, the soft scrape of a hull, the long silences between strokes. These elements do more than set mood; they set a pace. #Canoe #Cinema #TheCanoe
