What if Superman had turned out to be evil? That was the idea explored by director David Yarovesky’s super-powered horror film Brightburn, which was released back in 2019. Even though the movie made under $33 million at the global box office, the budget was low enough (somewhere in the range of 6 to 12 million) that producer James Gunn said they were talking about a sequel just a couple months after the film reached screens. Then we went a long time with no mentions of Brightburn 2 – until production company The H Collective, which was also behind Brightburn, confirmed that a sequel was in development last September. Things got confusing last month when Gunn took to Threads to say there are “no plans at all” for a Brightburn 2 right now… but Gunn has cleared up some of the confusion by revealing that a sequel is unlikely due to a complicated rights situation.

If they are moving ahead with a Brightburn 2, they must be doing so without the involvement of Gunn, because when he was asked on Threads when we’ll be getting a Brightburn sequel, he replied, “No plans at all for this right now.“

Plot: Picking up a few months after the end of Vacation Friends, this hilarious sequel finds newly married couple Marcus and Emily inviting their uninhibited besties Ron and Kyla, who are also newly married and have a baby, to join them for a vacation when Marcus lands an all-expenses-paid trip to a Caribbean resort. His reason for traveling there in the first place is to meet with the owners of the resort to bid on a construction contract for a hotel they own in Chicago. But when Kyla’s incarcerated father, Reese, is released from San Quentin and shows up at the resort unannounced at the worst possible moment, things get out of control, upending Marcus’ best-laid plans and turning the vacation friends’ perfect trip into total chaos.

Say this for “Vacation Friends 2”: It isn’t a drastic drop-off from the original. That has less to do with it being a better-than-usual sequel than it does with the first film being just okay. Still, one supposes there’s something to be said for consistency. Its setup repeats the odd-couple dynamic of its predecessor, with Lil Rel Howery and Yvonne Orji once again playing the straight man/woman to John Cena and Meredith Hagner’s free-spirited loose cannons. Opposites attract, and so the two couples naturally became besties over several drunken nights in the first film. Not everything that happens in Mexico stays in Mexico, however, and so here we are again in writer-director Clay Tarver’s follow-up, which premieres on Hulu almost exactly two years after its predecessor.

Despite having tried-and-tested methods and multiple pools of inspiration to dip into when running low on the same, the world of buddy comedies is often teeming with tasteless junk trying to pass itself off as movies. Clay Tarver and Tom and Tim Mullen’s 2021 adventure took a shot at taking us back to the good old’ days of The Hangover franchise. Starring the evidently visible John Cena, Yvonne Orji, Meredith Hagner and Lil Rel Howery, the film resolved to take life and itself not too seriously. And lucky for us, Tarver’s vision was clear about the lighthearted escapade where two practically antithetical couples are nudged to do a bit of soul-searching. Here’s a little refresher on the chuckle-worthy tale of these unlikely friends before the much-awaited arrival of the sequel, Vacation Friends 2.

2021 was unquestionably the Summer of Cena, as John Cena appeared in "Fast 9," "The Suicide Squad," and the truly delightful "Vacation Friends." The latter was, in this writer's opinion, the first comedy film since "Blockers" that truly knew how to play to Cena's comedic strengths as a leading man, and pairing him alongside Lil Rel Howery ("Get Out'), Yvonne Orji ("Insecure"), and Meredith Hagner ("Search Party") was a recipe for comedy gold. The film was a huge hit on Hulu, snagging a sequel greenlight less than a month after its debut on the Disney-owned streamer. Less than two years later, the foursome is back for "Vacation Friends 2," reuniting with writer-director Clay Tarver in the process.
The sequel picks up a few months after the first film, which saw Ron (Cena) and a pregnant Kyla (Hagner) finally tying the knot, doing so with their new friends Marcus (Howery) and Emily (Orji) by their side.

“Joy Ride,” the raunchy girl’s trip comedy starring Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu and Sabrina Wu opens this week.
It’s the first studio movie to feature a predominantly Asian cast since Marvel’s “Shang-Chi: The Legend of the 10 Rings” in 2021, and the first since “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018 to feature Asian female leads.
In the film, lawyer Audrey Sullivan (Park) is tasked with securing a business deal in China. She brings along her childhood friend Lolo (Cola) as her translator, as Audrey was adopted by white parents. They’re joined by Deadeye (Wu), Lolo cousin. While in China, they meet up with Audrey’s college roommate Kat, a successful actress. Lolo encourages Ashley to search for her birth mother, and hijinks — with an emphasis on “high” — ensue.

The underperformance of “Bros” this past fall has seemingly stoked a passion to reclaim the R-rated comedy’s place at the movies. “Joy Ride” is one of four rescue efforts being deployed this summer. Originally titled “The Joy F**k Club” – a wink at the 1993 benchmark for Asian American representation in mainstream film that it clearly aims to stand alongside – Adele Lim’s directorial debut, produced by “Superbad” writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, follows a mismatched quartet on their comically hazardous trip east.
Audrey (Ashley Park), adopted from China by white parents (David Denman and Annie Mumolo), has always experienced trouble belonging, even as a stellar student and now successful lawyer on the cusp of making partner. Aimless but effortlessly self-possessed, her best friend Lolo (Sherry Cola) is the opposite. Inseparable ever since a childhood skirmish with a playground bully, the two travel to China for a business deal...

The tone of Crazy Rich Asians co-screenwriter Adele Lim’s directorial debut, Joy Ride, is more accurately conveyed by its working title, The Joy Fuck Club. The film falls squarely in the recent tradition of “women behaving badly” comedies like Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids and Malcolm D. Lee’s Girls Trip, with a handful of gut-busting, outrageous comic set pieces that push the boundaries of good taste. But alongside all the coke-fueled, outlandish sexual escapades and vagina tattoo jokes that allow Joy Ride’s four leads to smash the stereotype of the quiet, submissive Asian woman, we also get a heartfelt, if sometimes clunky, tale of cultural heritage and belonging that heads in surprising, and surprisingly complicated, directions.
The film initially follows Audrey (Ashley Park) and Lolo (Sherry Cola), childhood best friends who were also the only two Asian kids in White Falls, Washington. An early flashback neatly establishes their...

Peacock’s latest crime comedy is slowly becoming a rage thanks to its addictive murder mystery storyline with a dash of comedy. But the problem is, it gets over in no time, as there are only eight episodes. However, right now, we are not certain if or when we will get the second season of the show. So, what we need at the moment is a fix—a show as exciting as Based On A True Story. That is why I have decided to step in with a list of shows that might just do the trick for you. Not all of these are going to be murder mysteries, as I would be exploring things beyond the obvious similarity. My objective is to suggest a show to you that can mirror the same experience...

As tourists on Rodeo Drive crowded the storefront of the women’s Louis Vuitton store hoping for a glimpse of stars like Miranda Kerr and Billie Lourd who were brunching inside, private town cars — which likely tipped off said looky-loos — whisked media and influencers away to a private preview of the French design house’s just-opened Crafting Dreams exhibition.
Held at a private Bel-Air residence from now through May 3, the artful, immersive showcase takes place inside an architecturally stunning modern-contemporary three-story home, which features breathtaking views of the city as well as alfresco glimpses of Jennifer Aniston and The Weeknd’s backyards. (The latter tidbit was according to a champagne-sipping influencer; so take it with a grain of Louis Vuitton-branded salt since details about the home and its owner were unavailable.)
But most importantly — to fashion and interior design enthusiasts at least — the brand’s most exclusive and bespoke offerings...

How could a trip to the motherland go so hilariously, disastrously wrong? The quartet at the heart of Adele Lim’s “Joy Ride” – Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu and Sabrina Wu – have no idea what they’re in for at the top of the trailer, which Lionsgate released Friday ahead of the film’s premiere at SXSW.
The trailer begins with the origin story of Audrey (Park) and Lolo’s (Cola) friendship, when they meet at a park as young kids. Lolo punches a white boy in the throat after he calls Audrey a racist slur, sealing the deal on their lifelong friendship. Flash forward to the future and Audrey is preparing to visit China to find her birth parents, with Lolo as her translator. In Beijing, they link up with Kat (Hsu), Audrey’s college friend, now a Chinese soap star, as well as Lolo’s eccentric cousin...

Baby Ruby is a horror movie written and directed by Bess Wohl starring Noémie Merlant and Kit Harington.
This is a suprise in her debut as a suspense and horror film director that makes one thing clear: She knows how to direct.
Excellent rhythm and tension.
Storyline
A mother experiences her worst nightmare when, after her daughter Ruby arrives, her world starts turning into a nightmare after she has visions and episodes where she loses her mind, which are all related to her baby.
Movie Review Baby Ruby (2022)
This is a movie that stands out more in the directing than in the screenplay, both of these are by the same person. An excellent movie as far as rhythm is concerned and knowing how to keep the tension up, with a balanced editing, filming, good photography and… on top of this, the director manages to get good acting from the main actress Noémie Merlant,...
