Upcoming Releases, November 2026


We've made it to November, which is one of the busiest and most dynamic months on the calendar. Below are the new releases coming to theaters this November.

Wednesday, November 4:
* A Dog's Perfect Christmas (Netflix): We're past Halloween, so it's on to Christmas! This is Netflix joining the fray with a dog-centric film. It looks fun.

Friday, November 6:
* Wild Horse Nine (Theaters): Here's the latest from Martin McDonagh. It features a great performance from John Malkovich and should be an awards-season player.

* The Cat in the Hat (Theaters): This long gestating animated film arrives for families. It looks like fun and should draw the younger crowd.

* Godzilla Minus Zero (Theaters): This is a follow up to Godzilla Minus One, which dropped a few years earlier. This should be a fun monster movie.

* Jimmy (Theaters): This finds KJ Apa playing Jimmy Stewart. The trailers are unique and it could be an interesting addition to the November lineup.

* Drummer Boy (Theaters): This one's a period piece from Angel Studios. Expect a family-friendly message.

* Ramayana (Theaters): A big production of a classic Hindu tale. This could be in the running for foreign film feature.

* Possible Love (Netflix): This is another possible foreign language feature competitor. This one is on Netflix, and is a pensive drama.

Wednesday, November 11:
* Ghost Soldier (Theaters): Jim Caviezel is the star of this action film about a man who won't take it no more! This one is an ex-soldier as the film drops for Veteran's Day.

* Avedon (Netflix): This is a new documentary about the photographer from Ron Howard. I have been enjoying this Netflix documentaries.

Friday, November 13:
* How to Rob a Bank (Theaters): This looks like a hip and fun story. I'm curious to see how it plays, but it could be a sneaky hit for November.

* Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol (Theaters): Johnny Depp is back in the lead role in this spin on A Christmas Carol. Will it be good? Hard to say.

* Victorian Psycho (Theaters): This is the latest film for Maika Monroe. It looks like a violent epic period piece for a little seasonal counter-programming.

* Allen (Netflix): This is a little alien comedy. Hard to say how it will work, but it's an option.

* Being Heumann (Apple TV): After a limited release in theaters, this new drama from Sian Heder based on the life of Judy Heumann. It has some potential.

* Heartland (Netflix): This is the one where Jessica Chastain goes country. She has incredible range, but I'm not sold on this concept.

Wednesday, November 18:
* Gentle Monster (Netflix): This is a new dark drama from Netflix. It's a French film starring Lea Seydoux that should be an interesting addition to the streamer's movie lineup.

* Madden (Prime Video): Have you ever wanted to see Nicolas Cage play John Madden? How about Christian Bale as Al Davis? This is your chance.

Friday, November 20:
* The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (Theaters): This is the latest from the Hunger Games franchise. This is another prequel, this time focusing on the origin story for Haymitch.

* I Play Rocky (Theaters): This is the story behind Sylvester Stallone's determination to star in the Oscar-winning film. It looks like a really compelling drama.

* Paper Tiger (Theaters): This is the latest drama from James Gray. It did well in festivals and now gets a wider release.

* Steps (Netflix): A new animated adventure from Netflix. This one seems to tread on well-worn fairy tale ground with a new spin.

Wednesday, November 25:
* Focker In-Law (Theaters): Another film in the Meet the Parents franchise. This one brings in Ariana Grande and looks like a great holiday treat.

* Hexed (Theaters): A big Disney animated adventure. This might be the last big animated release in theaters for 2026.

* Hershey (Theaters): This is a biopic about the famous chocolate founder. I think this looks like an interesting story, especially for the holidays. 

* The Mosquito Bowl (Netflix): This is a new WWII for Netflix. It got a limited theatrical release and now gets its debut on Netflix for the holiday.

* The Way of the Warrior Kid (Apple TV): This has been a big year for Apple original films. This one is a more family-friendly feature starring Chris Pratt. It should be good for the holidays.

AFI 100 Years, 100 Movies: No. 23

Image
Back in 1998, the American Film Institute unveiled its list of the 100 greatest films as voted on by members of the cinematic community. The year, I'm looking at the films on that list, re-ranked according to my preference. Check back Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year as we walk through this list of classic films. Henry Hill : [Narrating] As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. Goodfellas (1990) Original List Position : 94 Starring : Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci Director : Martin Scorsese About : Scorsese has been a fixture on this list. We've seen him deliver masterpieces in different decades and genres. That's the case with Goodfellas, which is another of his signature films. It was No. 94 on the original list, moving to No. 92 just 10 years later. I have it significantly higher, and I have it as my highest of his films on this list. It's a very different kind of mafia movie than The Godfather , and yet it feels like the c...

2026 Broncos' Season, Week 5

Image
Week 5: Denver Broncos 23, Los Angeles Chargers 17 Season Record: 3-2 (2-0 Home) Key Play: In the fourth quarter, with time winding down and the Broncos leading 20-17, Justin Herbert threw and interception to Brandon Jones on fourth down. The play allowed the Broncos to milk the clock and kick a field goal to push the lead to six points. Recap: Sean Payton took over the playcalling because there was "meat left on the bone" with the offense. It didn't look like an improvement on Sunday. The team looked lost for most of the game, then used some Special Teams and defensive intensity to manage a comeback and a win. I'm not sure winning is the best thing for this team. Don't get me wrong, I like to win. But this team played badly. They look bad. And getting a win feels like a reward for bad behavior. That's not the kind of football that helps you get to and win in the playoffs. This team feels lost and the offense feels like a mess. A Thursday matchup with the Sea...

1991 Rewind: City Slickers

Image
It's hard to believe, but 1991 was 35 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 1991 that are turning 35 in 2026. Today, it's a classic comedy. Mitch Robbins : Value this time in your life kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices, and it goes by so quickly. When you're a teenager you think you can do anything, and you do. Your twenties are a blur. Your thirties, you raise your family, you make a little money and you think to yourself, "What happened to my twenties?" Your forties, you grow a little pot belly you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Your fifties you have a minor surgery. You'll call it a procedure, but it's a surgery. Your sixties you have a major surgery, the music is still loud but it doesn't matter because you can't hear it anyway. Seventies, you and the wife r...
