Taylor Swift: Release Party of a Showgirl
Taylor Swift presents a behind the scenes look at the making of her record The Life of a Showgirl. Swift's official release party for Show Girl is a truly wonderful and memorable event, offering a glimpse into her creative vision that left a strong impact. While the event may not have been extensive in content, what was presented was undeniably awesome, particularly the video song for Fate of Ophelia. The event's greatest strength was the quality of its production and the emotional depth of the material. The majority of the runtime is dedicated to lyric videos for all 12 songs from The Life Of A Showgirl, with short introductions featuring Swift giving insight into each track.

The Smashing Machine
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will portray former MMA/UFC champion Mark Kerr aka The Smashing Machine, in a story based on the true events surrounding Kerr's life and rise through the MMA world which was unfortunately derailed by his opioid addiction. Johnson has done a lot in his career; action blockbusters, comedies, even family films, but nothing prepares you for the raw, unfiltered power of The Smashing Machine. For me, this movie isn't just about Mark Kerr's story. It's about Johnson finally proving himself as one of the great actors of his generation. From the very first frame, Benny Safdie's direction pulls you into a world of blood, sweat, and broken dreams. The fight sequences are brutal yet beautiful, shot on grainy 16mm film that makes you feel like you're inside the cage. But the real fight here isn't against an opponent-it's Kerr battling himself, his addictions, and the weight of expectations.

The Lost Bus (AppleTV+)
During the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise California, the deadliest wildfire in the state's history, 22 elementary school kids are stranded at their school as their families are unable to get them before the fires spread. Now one school bus driver (Matthew McConaughey) must attempt to drive the kids and a teacher to safety as the wildfire rages around them. Loosely based on a true story. What works best here is the way the film blends survival tension with personal drama, making the stakes feel more grounded and human. The direction keeps the suspense alive without going overboard, and visually, the film captures the claustrophobic and unsettling tone well.
