This Memorial Day weekend, Apple TV+ and director Guy Ritchie hope you have adventure in your holiday plans with the release of Fountain of Youth exclusively on the streaming service. The big-budget exploits draws heavily from franchises like Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and National Treasure but never develops an identity of its own in this harmless but forgettable globe-trotting quest.

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) returns in what might (but it won’t) be the IMF Agent’s final mission that he chooses to accept in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

Returning for its second and final season on Disney+, Andor, a project widely considered one of Star Wars most critically acclaimed, delves into the pivotal years directly preceding the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Oakland 1987 is the setting for four tales that traverse the time period’s sub-cultures and film genres in the wacky sci-fi anothology Freaky Tales.

Opening night of the 2025 Phoenix Film Festival charmed audiences with the premiere of The Ballad of Wallis Island. Based on an award winning short film by director James Griffith and co-written with star James Basden, the melodic tones compliment a relatable tale of love and loss that’s packed with quite a few endearing laughs in what feels like a spiritual successor in tone to the cult favorite Once.

#FreakyTales also screened at the #PhoenixFilmFestival and hits the broader Phoenix market today! Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Tom Hanks, and...Too $hort? What is this movie?! A nonsensical good time, that's what. @Lionsgate My full review: https://t.co/UenkfAlQgx
