In theatres:

- Karate Kid: Legends (2025): This is number six in terms of original movies around this theme, which, along with the TV series "Kobra Kai," tells the ongoing story of its characters who embrace such martial arts as karate and kung fu, and began in 1984 with Ralph Macchio, then in his very early 20s, as the student, and Pat Morita as Mr. Myagi, his sensi who taught the young man the ways of both physical and mental abilities that made him strong and resilient. Whether or not you are an aficionado of this franchise, it is very likely that you will get your money's worth and more as the casting, the characters both new and old, and the New York City setting, are all perfectly orchestrated to offer up a strong story populated by equally strong characters. Jackie Chan, from the 2010 iteration, Ralph Machhio now in his '60s from the original version, and new introductions from Vancouver's Joshua Jackson, and "ER" and "Agents of SHIELD" alum Ming-Na Wen work well together in a predictable plot that offers few surprises, but a great deal of comfortable familiarity

- Bring Her Back (2025): I am a fan of horror films but this Australian-made film about two teens placed in foster care after the death of their father is one that is steeped in evil, is very disturbing to watch, and is the stuff of which nightmares are made. Andy (English actor Billy Barratt) and his step-sister Piper (Sora Wong in her first-ever role) are being placed into foster care after his father, her step-father's death having slipped in the shower. The social worker in charge has already determined that Andy, who is just three months shy of his 18th birthday, and Piper, about three years younger and visually impaired, are to be separated and placed in different homes. Andy is adamant that they remain together as he is Piper's major care-giver. We don't know what happened to Piper's mother, and we don't know what happened to Andy's mom, but we are told by the social worker that Andy has "had issues" earlier in life, and his placement with Piper is not a good idea. He gets a reprieve, being told they will try things out for three months, and if it goes badly, Andy will have no chance to become Piper's guardian when he turns 18

On Apple TV+

- The Fountain of Youth (2025): This direct-to-video thriller is in many respects a derivative story and series of set-pieces that we have seen in such films as the "Indiana Jones" movies, the "National Treasure" movies, and even the "Da Vinci Code" movies, all designed to have our hero, in this case Luke Purdue (John Krasinski), spend most of the film balanced on a knife-edge designed to slice, chop, maim and kill as the action plays out. The easiest comparison is to any one of the Indiana Jones films where underground vaults, moving walls and floors, and an ancient prize all come into play. The director here is Guy Ritchie, the cast includes Natalie Portman (Charlotte Purdue), Stanley Tucci, and Domhnall Gleeson, and for most of the movie, both the backdrops and the settings for much of the action are the Egyptian Pyramids at Giza, where the sought after fountain that promises immortality to its finder, seems to be hidden. We already know what to expect when Luke, along with his sister Charlotte and a batch of hangers-on follow an ancient map enhanced with modern technology, that takes them into the depths of the massive structure
