The featured soundtrack is from Kids (1995), a gritty indie film whose lo-fi and underground music mirrors the film’s raw realism and enduring cultural legacy. New releases spotlighted include Something Beautiful, a one-off musical drama starring Miley Cyrus, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a character-driven reboot set in the 1960s. Kinepolis's current box office hits include Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon, and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
On the movie news front, upcoming highlights include Guillermo del Toro’s dark and elegant Frankenstein, the irreverent sci-fi spoof Spaceballs 2, and The Batman 2, a noir sequel steeped in psychological tension. Streaming updates feature Alien: Earth, which brings xenomorphs to Earth in a terrifying new chapter; Slow Horses Season 5, with espionage and wit; and Presumed Innocent Season 2, a timely legal thriller. The mini-review of Mountainhead praises its sharp setting and cast but notes a lack of narrative follow-through, leaving room for growth in a potential second season.
In gaming news, Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver merges hip-hop mythology with multiplayer action, while The Last of Us Season 2 sparks mixed reactions but drives strong game sales. Resident Evil 9: Requiem is also announced for 2026, introducing a new heroine and revisiting Raccoon City.
