Upcoming Releases: March, 2026


We've made it to March. That brings us some of the most anticipated films of the Spring. It's a strong mix of blockbusters and family fare as we move away from the films of 2025 and the Oscars and into a new year. Let's dive in.

Friday, March 6:
The Bride (Theaters): This is another take on the world of Frankenstein, this one from director Maggie Gyllenhaal. This one stars Christian Bale and Academy Award nominee Jesse Buckley. It looks pretty great.

Hoppers (Theaters): This is the latest from Pixar. We've had some animated features in 2026, but this looks like the biggest yet. This should be good for the whole family.

Protector (Theaters): Matthew Modine and Milla Jovovich take the lead in this action thriller. It's a lower end release for the week, but it will fill the void for action film fans.

War Machine (Netflix): Alan Ritchison takes the lead in this new action film. Netflix has had a strong slate the past few years, this could be interesting for action film fans.

Friday, March 13:
Reminders of Him (Theaters): This is the latest adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel. It looks like it will have some poignant emotional moments, but I'm not totally sold on the cast. We'll see if Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers have the right chemistry.

Undertone (Theaters): A low-budget but intriguing horror release from A24. The studio has delivered some interesting films over the years, so this could be a sneaky spring hit.

Friday, March 20:
Project Hail Mary (Theaters): This is based on the Andy Weir novel and features a cast led by Ryan Gosling. This is the biggest release of the month, and one of the biggest of the year so far.

Ready or Not 2 (Theaters): A sequel to the fun horror film starring Samara Weaving. This one ups the action and brings in a whole new all-star cast. It looks like a lot of fun.

The Pout-Pout Fish (Theaters): This is a new animated film based on the best-selling book series. It has a good voice cast and figures to be a good one for the whole family, timed well for the Spring Break time frame.

Forbidden Fruits (Theaters): This is another horror entry from IFC/Shudder. This has a fun hook and a good young cast led by Lili Reinhart and Alexandra Shipp. This could be fun for the horror fans.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (Netflix): This is a film continuation of the popular series. Cillian Murphy is back. This gets a small theatrical run earlier in March before dropping on Netflix, home to the series.

Friday, March 27:
They Will Kill You (Theaters): We end the month with another big horror release. This one is set in a dangerously weird hotel and finds Zazie Beatz trying to survive. It looks like a fun ride.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (Hulu): This is an action comedy set in the world of organized crime. The rumor is a time machine is also involved. It features a strong cast, including James Marsden, Vince Vaughn, and Jimmy Tatro. This could be a fun one on the streamer.

  It was an interesting week for new releases in theaters. Below is my take on the two big theatrical films from the weekend. You can keep up with everything I’m watching by following me on Letterboxd @knighthawk7734. Boy Kills World (Theaters) Starring : Bill Skarsgard, Jessica Rothe, Famke Janssen, Brett Gellman, and Michelle Dockery Synopsis : We have seen a lot of action films this year. Many have featured violent sequences, but some have been more artful than others. The new film, Boy Kills World, provides plenty of violence. It’s right there in the title. But where it falls short is in building something compelling beyond the killing spree. We’re introduced to a Boy (Skarsgard) early in the film. He tells us that his world is ruled by the Van Der Koy family, whose head, Hilda (Janssen) keeps the people in line through an annual Culling, where she kills “enemies.” Our protagonist’s mother and sister were among her victims. The Boy barely survived; saved by the Shaman (Yayan Ru...

2005 Rewind: The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Image
  It's hard to believe, but 2005 was 20 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 2005 that are turning 20 in 2025. Today, it's the start of an animated franchise. Father Moore : Once you've looked into the darkness, I think you carry it with you for the rest of your life. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) Starring : Jennifer Carpenter, Laura Linney, and Tom Wilkinson Director : Scott Derrickson About : We've seen plenty of exorcism films in the past. I break it down into two groups. In the first, the film uses the rite of exorcism as a plot device for a horror film. For the most part, that's how The Exorcist plays out. In the second group, the film is interested in exploring the religious aspects of exorcism. That's the category this film falls into. It was directed by Derrickson, who attended Biola University like me, which is one of the reasons I was interested in seeing it. It plays out like a courtroom dram...

Fall TV Roundup, Week 16

Image
  It’s Christmas week, and you might find yourself looking for some distractions in the form of new shows to check out. But which are worth checking out? Let this weekly post be your guide as I review the pilot and second episode of new shows this Fall. Don’t see a new show listed below? Check previous weeks. Tuesdays: American Auto, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC (Premiered December 13) About: A lot was made of the fact NBC, former home of Must-See TV, launched a schedule this Fall with no sitcoms. NBC isn’t planning to do the same in the winter, and they got a jump start to close the year, offering two-episode previews of a pair of new sitcoms that will begin their normal runs in January. The first, American Auto , comes from Superstore creator Justin Spitzer and centers on a new CEO (Ana Gasteyer) at a car company. She doesn’t come from the world of cars but is trying to effect positive changes. I thought the first two episodes were funny and definitely filled the Superstore vib...
