After their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the PAW Patrol’s archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they’ve done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.
Ava Max has released a brand new track and lyric video “Work (from PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie),” out now via Visva Records/Republic Records. Written by Ava Max, Nick Monson, Mareen Mcdonald, Mark Nilan Jr. and Sean Douglas.

What if one messy night turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to you?
This summer, Will Gluck, the filmmaker of Anyone but You and Easy A, celebrates modern romantic comedy on the big screen with a fresh, witty, swoony original film about searching for love on the least romantic night of the year.
Academy Award® nominee Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown, Top Gun: Maverick) and BAFTA nominee Callum Turner (Masters of the Air, Fantastic Beasts franchise) star as Allie and Owen, two love-starved strangers who crash into each other in an ever-so-slightly fictionalized New York City on the one night of the year when single people are allowed to have sex.
Recently dumped Owen and hopeful romantic Allie might be the only two singles in the city looking for more than just a quick encounter. They both feel a spark when they meet, but a series of missteps and side quests complicate their night, keeping them apart. As they each race toward and away from each other across the city, they just might discover that the one thing they want most is closer than they think.
Rated R for sexual material, language and brief nudity.

As we trudge past the miserable heat of July, many movie fans might think that the Summer season of blockbusters is over with the arrival of August. And they would be wrong. Just as it appeared that TOY STORY 5 would be crowned box office king of 2026, film franchise royalty returns after a five-year hiatus. Ah, but with his comic book roots, will the media pundits crying “superhero fatigue” be proven right, especially after SUPERGIRL failed to take flight? Well, from the internet buzz and the spectacular ticket presales, it looks like this scrappy wallcrawler has many more “webs to spin”. But with a new director guiding that trilogy’s trio, his many fans are bracing for a different era in SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY.
Here’s the cover to a paperback prose story with the then CBS TV stars back in the late 70’s!
Yes, a new, more subdued tone is established in the opening moments of this installment. The spell cast by Dr. Strange in the previous film hasn’t weakened. The world has forgotten Peter Parker (Tom Holland), who is now living on his own. When he’s not working as Spider-Man with his NYPD connection (unofficially), Det. Jean DeWolff (Liza Colon-Zayas), Pete is following the constant online video updates (all through MIT) of former BFF Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon), with cameos from his roommate pal, MJ (Zendaya). And yes, Pete’s still carrying a “torch” for his lost love. Which is why he’s spending so much of his time as the Big Apple’s protector. Naturally, things get very weird when a super-villain he helped put away, Mac Gargan AKA the Scorpion (Michael Mando), is sprung from the fortress run by the feds at the Dept. of Damage Control by a mysterious mind-controlling force that jumps from one person to another, after a janitor commandeers a tank. Complicating things is the unwanted “help” from NYC’s other, less-adored vigilante, Frank Castle AKA the Punisher (Jon Bernthal). After a briefing by DODC chief Bill Metzger (Tramell Tillman), Pete runs into Ned as he grabs some supplies for his big housewarming party. Following him, Pete crashes the party and sees MJ there with her new beau. Later that night at his home, he seems ill and faints. The next morning, Pete wakes up in a web cocoon, outside his window. Something’s happening with his body and mind. Could his spider-enhanced DNA be mutating? A visit with celebrated ESU prof Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) just raises more questions. Can Peter survive this “metamorphosis “, while stopping this new menace that appears to emanate from a shadowy young woman (Sadie Sink)? And will he find a way to reunite with his old friends turned puzzled strangers?
Despite the large, impressive supporting cast, this story belongs to Holland’s maturing Peter Parker and his arachnid alter-ego. Here he expands on his dramatic talents, going even further into pathos from the last entry. Though a lot less awkward (somehow more confident in uniform), Holland leans into the tragic consequences of his fateful, mind- and world-altering, though selfless, decisions. And that’s coupled with his panic over the strange alterations in his mind and body. Certainly, Holland is more than up to the challenge, despite having played the role for ten years over six movies. His “heavy-lifting” emoting is done with his leading lady, now real-life wife Zendaya, whose MJ still has a snarky, dark attitude, but has learned how to let people “in”. Her big “revelation” scene with Holland is a heart-tugging highlight. Their rapport is balanced by the sweet-natured charm of Batalon, who somehow becomes more enduring, even as his Ned becomes “Spidey-obsessed” (love his “tracker”). If there’s a “scene-stealer” in this flick, the title would belong to Bernthal, who brings a lot of heart to the world-weary, cynical Castle, a role he’s honed over several streaming TV shows. This “flip-side” spin on crime-fighters is a welcome addition to the story. And it’s great to see Holland finally sharing some scenes with Ruffalo, whose Banner is an easy-going, affable academic and another mentor ala Tony Stark. Sink is somehow sinister and sympathetic as the villain that’s more than her sometimes “evil deeds”. Speaking of mentors, Colon-Zayas is another nurturing maternal influence on Pete, and a great partner, much like Inspector Henderson on the 50’s Superman TV show. And I don’t want to spoil it, but the film also has great sequences with two wonderful actresses, one that figures in the MCU future, while the other is a sweet return from a past fave.
Here’s the Spidey story that introduced the Punisher!
So who has replaced Jon Watts after his time as director of the previous trilogy? None other than Destin Daniel Cretton. After helming the Shang-Chi feature (which should’ve had a sequel years ago) and the superb streaming show “Wonder Man”, Cretton injects quite a bit of real-world grit and a streetwise style (truly “friendly neighborhood”) into the Spidey saga. Although two of the main series screenwriters, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, penned this one, it eschews much of their bouncy, whimsical sensibilities. This helps in setting it apart from high school romps and shenanigans, with the main trio mulling over their place as adults in this grounded setting. Aiding in this is the moody camera work from Brett Pawlak, which still meshes with the soaring music score by the returning Michael Giacchino. There’s no rehashing done, although there are some nice nods to MCU history and the memories of Pete and his pals. This helps in getting past a few wonky subplots (without Stark, how is all that tech acquired?). All the effects (love the “zombie pulse waves”) work well, especially with the thrilling action scenes (this Hulk truly smashes). With so much to enjoy, the final act doesn’t wrap things up in a satisfying manner, with no real “sign-off” with a major character. But fans will enjoy seeing Spidey with two other comic stalwarts (three really), and the tykes will get to see their hero in dazzling action with some of the best “city swinging”, though there are some dark, scary moments. It doesn’t quite “stick the landing”, but there’s lots of what makes the “web-head” endure for over 60 years (lots of “mushy stuff” in the Stan Lee-penned tales) in the exciting and often amazing SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY opens in theatres everywhere on Friday, July 31, 2026.
Focus Features has acquired ELSINORE, from acclaimed director Simon Stone, an inspiring true story starring Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers, Pressure) as Ian Charleson, an actor at the height of his powers whose final performance — on stage at London’s National Theatre — became his greatest triumph.
Facing his own mortality with unflinching honesty, wit, and grace, Charleson delivers a courageous performance that becomes a source of healing and inspiration for those around him.
The film, written by Stephen Beresford (Pride), also stars Academy Award Winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Lost Daughter) Billie Piper, and Johnny Flynn.
Charleson gave a career-defining performance as the real-life Scottish Olympic athlete and missionary Eric Liddell in the acclaimed 1981 historical drama CHARIOTS OF FIRE. The film won Best Picture. He also starred in Sir Richard Attenborough’s GHANDI.
Sadly, Charleson diagnosed with HIV in 1986 and died from AIDS-related complications in 1990 at the age of 40. He was the first high-profile celebrity in the United Kingdom to openly request that his cause of death be announced as AIDS.
Ian McKellen wrote a tribute to his friend in January 1990: “those who knew only the public man, can be grateful that Ian Charleson’s acting powers never declined and that, right at the end, he gave a performance which perhaps he could never have equalled.”
Elsinore is produced by STUDIOCANAL, LD Entertainment, Lucky Red and Magnolia Mae Films, and will be released in North America by Focus Features, with Universal Pictures International distributing the film in Latin America. STUDIOCANAL is releasing ELSINORE theatrically in their markets of the UK, France, Germany, Italy (Lucky Red), Poland, Benelux, Australia and New Zealand. STUDIOCANAL is handling worldwide sales.
Launching in select theaters on November 20, the film expands to additional markets over the Thanksgiving holiday and throughout December.
