Pretty Lethal (2026): When Ballet Turns Brutal
You've heard the phrase “If looks could kill,” but have you heard “If dancing could kill?” Pretty Lethal takes that idea and runs with it.

A love story between Hilman Yong, a Korean-American-Chinese mixed race man and Intan Zulaikha, a Malay girl. Hilman has been in love with Intan since they first met eight years ago at a restaurant. Hilman, someone who has recently embraced Islam, prays to be reunited with Intan again. They meet again and become close. Hilman tries to propose to Intan but is rejected because Intan is not ready. Three years later, Intan encounters Hilman while conducting a course in Kuala Terengganu. They become close again and plan to get married. However, a tragedy strikes when Hilman has an accident and loses his memory. Damien emerges who no longer remembers his religion. Intan struggles to restore Damien's memory of his faith and to recover their lost love. CAST PHOTO Intan and Hilman

One of THE most frustrating trends in the mainstream film industry over the last several decades has been the onset of comedy efforts that seem SO focused on being crude and/or gross-out in all ways possible. That, at least for me, makes them no longer funny.
The plot lags, the moral lessons are misguided, but are those fluffy little donut creatures adorable? Yes. Yes, they are.
The 'Shaft' remake fails to capture Blaxpoitation's rebellious spirit.
Twisting what seems to be obvious setups and frameworks is what sets the story structure of Squid Game apart. I appreciate that this narrative is complex but not complicated; an easy enough plot to wrap your head around while still treating the audience like an equal participant in this social commentary
'Alice' is a genre trifecta: one part revenge drama, one part historical account, one part throwback to Blaxploitation—kinda 'Django' meets 'Roots' meets 'Foxy Brown.'
