By Nikki Coleman | WeAreCritiX.com For nearly 30 years, Disney and Pixar's Toy Story franchise has captured the hearts of audiences around the world. Generations have grown up alongside Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Rex, Hamm, and the rest of Andy's — and now Bonnie's — beloved toys. As Toy Story 5 prepares to arrive in theaters, fans are eager to see where the next chapter of this iconic story will take them. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Pixar animator D

Erika Woods Explores Pops' Darkest Moment Yet While Shameik Moore Begins Building the Legend of Breeze By Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com After years of anticipation, Power Book III: Raising Kanan has officially returned for its fifth and final season, and if the explosive premiere is any indication, fans should prepare themselves for a season filled with revelations, shifting alliances, and long-awaited answers. Among the biggest talking points entering Season 5 are two charac

By Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com When Power Book III: Raising Kanan first introduced audiences to Marvin Thomas, it's safe to say he wasn't exactly the fan favorite. Impulsive. Reckless. Often operating before thinking. Marvin frequently found himself creating problems just as quickly as he was trying to solve them. Yet over the course of four seasons, something remarkable happened. Audiences began to see the man beneath the mistakes. Now, as Raising Kanan prepares to launch

By Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com For years, Power fans have known how this story ends. Long before Power Book III: Raising Kanan ever premiered, audiences were already familiar with the man Kanan Stark would eventually become. Ruthless. Calculated. Unforgiving. One of the most dangerous figures in the entire Power Universe. What Raising Kanan has done so brilliantly over the last four seasons is challenge viewers to look beyond that reputation and ask a far more complicated q

By Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com One of the most emotional storylines unfolding throughout FROM Season 4 isn't necessarily tied to the monsters, mysteries, or the increasingly terrifying revelations surrounding the town itself. Instead, it's rooted in something far more human. Family. More specifically, the fractured relationship between Victor and his father Henry. For years, Victor has existed as one of the show's most fascinating mysteries. A survivor whose childhood was s

The Future of Action Cinema Just Checked In - and It Fights Like a Journalist with Nothing to Lose By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com With The Furious hitting theaters on June 12, 2026, the conversation around action cinema is heating up - and no one is more at the center of it than Joe Taslim. The Indonesian-born martial artist and actor, known globally for The Raid, Mortal Kombat II, and The Night Comes for Us, recently sat down with CritiX to discuss his work in The Furious,

By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com One of the reasons FROM continues to resonate with audiences is because beneath the monsters, mysteries, and increasingly terrifying revelations, the series never loses sight of its characters. Every season asks its residents to confront something darker than the creatures lurking outside their doors. Fear. Loss. Isolation. Grief. Desperation. The supernatural horror may draw viewers in, but it’s the human experience underneath that keeps them

By Nikki Coleman | Xscream Horror Some horror films fade into nostalgia. Others evolve. Twenty-five years later, Ginger Snaps continues to feel alive in ways few genre films ever truly achieve. Directed by John Fawcett and starring Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle, the cult horror classic remains one of the most unique and emotionally resonant werewolf films ever made, blending body horror, dark comedy, and female adolescence into something far more personal than audience

There’s a delicate balance at the center of The Sheep Detectives. On one hand, it’s a whimsical, imaginative story filled with talking animals and a heightened sense of reality. On the other, it’s grounded in something far more human, exploring grief, displacement, and the emotional weight of moving forward after loss. For Molly Gordon, finding that balance wasn’t about leaning into the fantasy. It was about anchoring everything in truth. When we spoke, Gordon reflected on he

There’s something quietly powerful about The Sheep Detectives, and it reveals itself the more time you spend thinking about it. On the surface, the film presents itself as a charming and whimsical animated mystery, but beneath that tone lies something far more reflective. It explores themes of loss, memory, and emotional resilience in a way that feels both accessible and deeply human. It’s what I would describe as dark, but gentle, a balance that is not easy to achieve, yet o

By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com As anticipation builds around Michael, Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming biopic on the King of Pop, conversations are already starting to shift toward what could come next. With a story as expansive and influential as the Jackson family legacy, it’s only natural for audiences to wonder whether this film could open the door to something bigger. The idea of a spinoff Janet Jackson biopic, or even a broader cinematic exploration of the family, has quickly

There’s something unsettling about Sofia in FROM . And that’s exactly the point. By Klep Napier| Wearecritix.com There’s always been something unsettling about FROM , and it goes beyond the town itself. The fear has never been limited to what lurks in the shadows. It lives in the people, in their decisions, and in the way the unknown slowly reshapes who they are. Season 4 leans deeper into that idea, and with the introduction of Sofia, played by Julia Doyle, the series adds

There’s something different about FROM Season 4. Not just bigger. Not just darker. More dangerous. By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com During a recent conversation with CritiX, the series’ lead actor and executive producer opened up about what fans can expect when they return to the town, and one message came through loud and clear. This season changes everything. Boyd’s Journey Is Taking a Real Toll For fans of the series, Boyd has always been the emotional and moral anchor of

Some true stories are so unbelievable they feel fictional until cinema gives them new life. Dead Man’s Wire , directed by Gus Van Sant , is one of those films. Based on the shocking real-life hostage crisis that unfolded in the 1970s, the film revisits a moment in American history when one man hijacked the airwaves to make himself heard. Starring Bill Skarsgård , Colman Domingo , Da’Vine Joy Randolph , and legendary screen presence Al Pacino , the film also features a ground

Some films wear their influences proudly. Others weaponize them. Night Patrol , the latest genre-bending vampire thriller from director Ryan Prows , does both. Drawing inspiration from gritty street-level dramas and classic vampire mythology, Night Patrol feels like End of Watch colliding with Colors and The Lost Boys , creating something familiar, ferocious, and entirely its own. During our recent conversation with the cast and filmmaker, it became clear that Night Patrol

By Klep Napier| Wearecritix.com There are television shows that entertain, and then there are shows that raise people. At this year’s Rhode Island Comic Con, that distinction was felt loud and clear as the cast of Degrassi reunited for an emotional, hilarious, and deeply reflective panel that reminded fans why the series continues to matter decades later. Hosted by CritiX Media Editor-in-Chief Klep Napier as part of an Altered Reality Entertainment event, the panel became

By Klep Napier| Wearecritix.com Power Force has officially crossed the halfway mark, and if last week’s mid-season episode was any indication, this final stretch is about to get viciously unpredictable. With loyalties shifting, alliances burning to the ground, and power slipping through the fingers of nearly every major player, the series is deep in its most explosive run yet. To break down the momentum and look ahead, we sat down with actress Lili Simmons , who brings Claud

The twists keep tightening in Power Book IV: Force , and as we approach Episode 5, the series is deep in a pressure-cooker of shifting alliances, fractured loyalties, and characters fighting to maintain whatever scraps of control they have left. STARZ gave us an exclusive early look at what’s coming this Friday, and trust, things are about to explode. Vic’s walking a razor’s edge, Stacy’s playing a dangerous game of power management, and the entire board is shifting faster th

By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com As Power Book IV: Force barrels toward the midpoint of its final season, the tension inside CBI has never felt sharper, more unpredictable, or more emotionally loaded. With only a handful of episodes left before we close the chapter on Tommy Egan’s Chicago saga, the cast is leaning all the way into themes that defined the original Power : loyalty, betrayal, ambition, and the brutal price of wanting the top spot.
