A few hours before the holiday, everyone with bated breath hopes for a miracle. The whole village of Glukharevo is preparing to welcome a foreign movie star in a big way. In Tyumen, a housewife and a future blogger need to win a bet with her husband. In Yekaterinburg, a roleplayer in love is torn between family happiness and epic adventures. In St. Petersburg, the girl, along with the long-awaited marriage proposal, finds out that her fiancé was a fraudster. As always, the fates of the heroes will unexpectedly intertwine and everyone will get their own piece of New Year's magic...

As I typed this, Chris Evans was being “cancelled” on Twitter. I did a little research on this since I always thought Chris Evans was well-received. It turns out the backlash is because of a white savior movie he made called Red Sea Diving Resort.
Narnia, Avengers: Doomsday, Jumanji 3 are some compelling ones! Some of the biggest 2026 movies tied to popular franchises, books, video games, comics, and existing series. Marvel and DC, Disney and Pixar.
If you are a discerning movie watcher and/or an African-American with a modicum of Black consciousness, this film isn’t for you. It would be better to watch the documentary ‘They Fight’ to see the impactful, emotional story of Walter Manigan and the young men of DC’s Ward 8.
Those perfect Summer or Fall days. The sun is shining, the temperature is JUST right, and you've got nothing else to do. Therefore, isn't it time to get outside and take a nice stroll through the park, or along the shoreline (should you be that fortunate), or even just around the neighborhood? Sure. BUT.....if one lives in the America found in the newest film adaptation of the work from horror author/cultural icon Stephen King.....doing this SHOULD be the LAST thing you hope to find yourself engaged with.
