As unnecessary sequels go, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” (20th Century Studios) earns a well-deserved place near the top of the list. Where the original, released 20 (!) years ago, had iconic lines (“That is all.”) and portrayals (Meryl Streep should have won an Oscar for her performance, as opposed to the undeserved one she received for the abysmal “The Iron Lady”), the sequel is lacking.
It’s incredible to think that it took this long for Michael Jackson, the late “King of Pop” who died two months shy of his 51st birthday in 2009, to be the subject of a big-screen biopic (in IMAX, no less). Unfortunately, the mono-monikered “Michael” (Universal/Lionsgate), directed by Antoine Fuqua, with a screenplay by gay writer John Logan, comes off as nothing more than a glorified Lifetime movie.
Gay filmmaker François Ozon’s movie adaptation of “The Stranger” (Music Box Films), based on Albert Camus’ 1942 novella of the same name, is the third time the book has been adapted for the screen. However, it may be the first time that audience members might have to decide which is more breathtaking - the black and white photography or the actor in the lead role?
Have you ever wondered what a gay John Hughes movie might look like? Queer filmmaker Cory Wexler Grant attempts to provide an answer with “Screams From the Tower” (TLA).
Trans Day of Visibility is just that: a single day. Now one group is working to make the trans community more visible than ever. The Trans On Film festival is coming to Wilton Manors and Los Angeles in March 2027.
Many of us have seen at least one gay or straight rom-com, in which the nebbish-y lead character, played by the movie’s writer/director, ends up making out (or more) with another hot lead character. In a way, that’s the fantasy part of actor/writer/director Matt Shear’s “Fantasy Life” (Greenwich Entertainment).
Ever wondered what happened to the “Heathers” or the Plastics from “Mean Girls” right after high school? In its own way, “Forbidden Fruits” (IFC/Shudder), directed and co-written by Meredith Alloway, offers some clues.
It’s still early in 2026, but once you witness Oscar-nominated actor Ryan Gosling’s riveting portrayal of science teacher/inadvertent planet savior Ryland Grace in “Project Hail Mary” (Amazon/MGM), you may agree that he’s a shoo-in for an Academy Award nomination and may, in fact, take home a statuette. His layered performance draws on both his comedic and dramatic skills in equal measure, combined with his general hotness (wait until you see him in one of his skintight space suits).
Many people can agree that 2025 was a banner year for scary movies; from the subtle terror of “Presence” to the visceral horror of “Weapons” and “Bring Her Back,” to the groundbreaking showstopper “Sinners.” While it’s still early in 2026, the year isn’t showing much promise so far.
