    Rewriting History—From the Other Side

    At the heart of Star City lies a fascinating “what if.”

    In this alternate-history retelling, the Soviet Union becomes the first nation to land a man on the moon. But instead of revisiting familiar ground, the story unfolds from behind the Iron Curtain—offering a suspenseful and emotionally charged look at the people who made that historic leap possible.

    Brilliant cosmonauts chasing glory. Determined engineers racing against time. Intelligence officers embedded within the program, navigating secrecy and suspicion. All of them risking everything to propel humankind forward.

    Layered with paranoia and political tension, Star City is more than a space drama. It’s a character-driven thriller about loyalty, ambition, sacrifice, and the human cost of progress. Suspended between triumph and fear, its characters confront impossible choices in a world where one misstep could alter history forever.

  • Prime Video Series Review: Cross Season 2 (First 3 Episodes)

    Prime Video Series Review: Cross Season 2 (First 3 Episodes)

    What I enjoyed about the first season of Cross, is that we get a powerful, intelligent Black man, Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge), who is competent in every way as a homicide detective but is constantly under duress from not having properly dealt with his grief. There’s an amazing supporting cast around him, including his best friend John (Isaiah Sampson), a whip-smart FBI agent, Kayla (Alona Tai), his grandmother (Juanita Jennings), and a whole cadre of compelling characters. With the first season allowing Alex Cross to face his personal demons while solving and catching a serial killer, we see him close one chapter of his life, including accepting and letting go of his murdered wife, while also hurting and losing a wonderful woman in the process, Elle (Samantha Walkes).

    In the first three episodes of the new season, Alex is asked to join Kayla to catch a person who sent a deadly threat to a billionaire, Lance Durand (Matthew Lillard); unaware that the person they are after is connected to a serial killer, whose targets are billionaires who are trafficking immigrant children for illegal child labor. The series shows us both Cross, Kayla, and John hunting down a suspect while simultaneously showing us the true perpetrator, Rebecca and Donnie (Jeanine Mason and Wes Chatham, respectively). Rebecca is on a mission of revenge against these billionaires, and her war is a righteous one. As Cross inches closer and closer to finding out about Rebecca, the show is allowing us to get to know her, her motivations and her backstory.

    Very light, ambiguous spoilers follow:

    Within the first three episodes, we see John dealing with his biological mother, who gave him up as a child, after she’s arrested for a crime. Elle and Alex are now broken up, but she remains in their lives while Nana Mama is absent. We also get a larger role for my favourite character on the show, Kayla. She’s in deep trouble over an off-the-books operation and is being set up as the fall guy.

    There’s a lot of story threads playing out this season, and because Cross has managed to clean up a lot of his loose ends from last season, he feels more like a support character to the other players. We see things from his point of view, which is very interesting. He remains the lead and continues to carry the show, but he’s also there to help the others shine, even as he deals with his lingering issues with Elle.

    Cross S2 UT 202 240429 WATIAN 00159RC 700
    Elle Monteiro (Samantha Walkes), Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge)

    In fact, the love story between him and Elle is the least interesting storyline at play. Elle’s reason is justified and because of last season’s climactic ending, she remains part of the family and someone Cross’ kids trust. With Nana Mama out of the picture, Elle steps in as the house sitter, which adds to Cross’ confusion. Three episodes in, and it’s the slowest part of the show. Mustafa is a fantastic actor, and he makes John such a solid character that I wish the subplot involving his mother is fully utilized. 

    My favourite character is Kayla, though, and now that she has a bigger role in season 2, I’m eager to see the full range of her character’s complexity. She’s highly competent and very able but it seems she has often been sidelined in favor of her male counterparts. She’s shown that her morality bends, especially when you take into account how she dealt with Bobby Trey (Johnny Ray Gill) last season. Her connection with Cross runs much deeper than initially hinted at and is touched upon in episode three and I’d really like to see how they flesh out her character more.

    Cross S2 FG 201 00092204 Still116 700
    Richard Helvig (Geoffrey Pounsett), Rebecca Luz (Jeanine Mason)

    The main crime that we’re following though – the one involving Rebecca and Donnie – feels so on point. While the trafficked children are being exploited for child labor, which is both horrible and illegal, one can’t read into it as something similar to the political upheaval that is happening in the United States regarding the Epstein Files. The fact that Rebecca is targeting billionaires makes the links more solid that, as an audience member, you’re kind of on her side. You’re eager to see how Cross is going to navigate this particular dilemma, especially as the show positions Lillard’s Lance Durand as a two-faced spoiled billionaire. A lot of the good stuff from season one is carrying over and none of the baggage, so this is going to be a fun season. 

    My Rating: 4 Stars

    stars 4 0


    Binge Cross Season 2 now and see why Wanggo gives it 4 out of 5 stars. With gripping twists, complex characters, and a crime plot that keeps you guessing, this is a season you won’t want to miss, stream it now on Prime Video.

    ‘“Hannah Montana’ will always be a part of who I am.

This ‘Hannahversary’ is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who’ve stood by me for 20 years.”

    Her words reflect gratitude, pride, and the unbreakable bond between artist and audience.

    IBE 03634 v1

    Directed by Academy Award® winner Andrew Stanton (WALL·E, Finding Nemo), the film presents a sweeping narrative that stretches across millennia—yet remains grounded in one enduring truth: humanity’s need for connection.

    With its newly released trailer generating buzz, anticipation continues to build for this bold and thought-provoking drama.

    Three Lives, Three Eras, One Shared Thread

    Adapted from Colby Day’s acclaimed 2016 Black List screenplay, In The Blink of An Eye unfolds through three interconnected storylines that span thousands of years. Though separated by time, each narrative reflects the same essential human longing—for survival, understanding, and companionship.

    IBE 07537 v1

    The Distant Past: Survival Against the Odds

    In a harsh prehistoric world, a displaced Neanderthal family fights to endure. Played by Jorge Vargas (Snowpiercer) and Tanaya Beatty (Yellowstone), the parents struggle to safeguard their children while mastering primitive tools and adapting to an unforgiving environment. Stripped to life’s basics, their journey is raw, intimate, and deeply moving.

    The Present: Love and Discovery

    Fast forward to today, where Claire (Rashida Jones), a driven post-graduate anthropologist studying early human remains, navigates both academic ambition and emotional vulnerability. As she forms a tentative relationship with fellow student Greg (Daveed Diggs of Hamilton), their evolving connection mirrors the timeless patterns she studies.

    The Future: Survival in the Stars

    Two centuries from now, aboard a spacecraft bound for a distant planet, Coakley (Kate McKinnon) faces an unexpected crisis. A mysterious disease threatens the vessel’s oxygen-producing plants, placing the crew’s survival at risk. Alongside a sentient onboard computer, she must confront uncertainty in the vastness of space.

    Separated by centuries yet thematically intertwined, these stories echo one another—revealing hope amid hardship and unity in isolation.

    A Visionary at the Helm

    Andrew Stanton, known for blending emotional depth with expansive storytelling, brings his signature touch to this genre-spanning drama. From animated classics to live-action storytelling, Stanton has consistently explored what binds us together, and In The Blink of An Eye continues that tradition with striking ambition.

    The film is produced by Jared Ian Goldman (Ingrid Goes West, Russian Doll), with a screenplay by Colby Day (Spaceman, For All Mankind).

    • VFX Supervisor: Jake Braver (Birdman, The Pale Blue Eye)

    Their combined artistry elevates the film’s sweeping timeline into a cohesive and visually arresting experience.

From prehistoric survival to modern romance and interstellar uncertainty, the film gently reminds viewers that while technology and circumstances evolve, our core desires remain the same.

Set to premiere on March 11, 2026, the crime thriller will stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

    3

    With more than 120 million copies sold since the character’s debut in 1990, Kay Scarpetta has become one of the most enduring figures in modern crime fiction. Now, under the creative vision of Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Liz Sarnoff (Barry, Lost), the iconic forensic pathologist finally comes to life in a gripping, character-driven series.

    Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Blumhouse Television in association with Blossom Films, Comet Pictures, and P&S Projects, Scarpetta blends psychological suspense with emotional depth—promising a crime drama that lingers long after the credits roll.

    Nicole Kidman Steps Into the Role of a Lifetime

    Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman stars as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a brilliant and determined medical examiner whose work demands precision, resilience, and an unflinching pursuit of truth. With an unerring eye and steady resolve, Scarpetta serves as the voice for victims who can no longer speak for themselves.

    But this time, the case cuts deeper.

    As she hunts a serial killer, Scarpetta is forced to confront the haunting possibility that a pivotal investigation from 28 years ago—one that shaped her career—may now threaten to unravel everything she has built.

    Starring opposite Kidman is Academy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis as Dorothy Farinelli, Kay’s sister. Their fraught relationship simmers beneath the surface, layered with professional jealousy, unresolved wounds, and deeply buried secrets.

    The ensemble cast further elevates the tension:

    • Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale as Detective Pete Marino
    • Emmy nominee Simon Baker (The Mentalist) as FBI profiler Benton Wesley
    • Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) as Lucy Farinelli Watson, Kay’s tech-savvy niece

    Completing the dual-era storytelling are Rosy McEwen, Amanda Righetti, Jake Cannavale, and Hunter Parrish, portraying the younger versions of the central characters—bridging past and present with striking intensity.

    1 3

    A Story Told Across Two Timelines

    Layered and suspenseful, Scarpetta unfolds across two distinct time periods.

    The narrative traces Scarpetta’s early days as Chief Medical Examiner in the late 1990s while simultaneously following her present-day return to her hometown, where she resumes her former role amid a disturbing new murder investigation.

    As timelines intertwine, so do the consequences.

    Old rivalries resurface. Long-held grudges ignite. Personal and professional boundaries blur. And standing at the center of it all, Scarpetta must navigate a maze of emotional complexity while pursuing justice at any cost.

    It’s not just about solving a crime—it’s about confronting the past.

    A Creative Team Built for Suspense

    Liz Sarnoff serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, shaping the adaptation with a sharp and character-focused approach. Nicole Kidman and Per Saari executive produce through Blossom Films, while Jamie Lee Curtis produces via Comet Pictures. Author Patricia Cornwell is also an executive producer through P&S Projects.

    Blumhouse Television’s Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Chris Dickie, and Chris McCumber join as executive producers, bringing their signature edge to the project.

    David Gordon Green directs five episodes and serves as executive producer alongside Amy Sayres, giving the series a cinematic intensity that heightens its emotional stakes.

    Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Blumhouse Television, Scarpetta stands as a bold collaboration between powerhouse creatives.

    A Global Premiere Event

    First Look: Official Trailer of FX’s “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette” Premieres on Disney+ February 13

    An Iconic Romance Returns to the Spotlight

    Suddenly, the past feels present again.

    Disney+ has unveiled the official trailer for FX’s “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette,” a highly anticipated limited series that revisits one of the most captivating romances of the 20th century. Premiering February 13 at 10:00 AM with its first three episodes, the nine-episode event will continue with new installments released weekly.

    poster 2

    Serving as the inaugural chapter of Ryan Murphy’s “Love Story” anthology, the series is inspired by Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. With sweeping emotion and intimate storytelling, it promises to reintroduce audiences to a relationship that once held the nation spellbound.

    America’s Golden Couple

    For many, John F. Kennedy Jr. was the embodiment of legacy and charm. Portrayed by Paul Anthony Kelly, he grew up before the public eye—transforming from a young boy marked by tragedy into one of America’s most admired bachelors.

    Carolyn Bessette, played by Sarah Pidgeon, was no less compelling. Independent and effortlessly stylish, she climbed the ranks at Calvin Klein, eventually becoming a trusted executive and confidante of the brand’s founder. Her quiet confidence and distinct sense of fashion made her a cultural force long before she became a household name.

    When their paths crossed, the connection was immediate—charged, magnetic, undeniable.

    Love in the Age of Headlines

    Yet, with admiration came scrutiny.

    As their whirlwind courtship evolved into marriage, John and Carolyn found themselves at the center of relentless media attention. Cameras flashed. Rumors swirled. Privacy became a luxury they could no longer afford.

    The series explores this tension with nuance, charting the emotional highs and devastating lows of a couple navigating devotion beneath the harsh glare of fame. Their love was real and deeply felt—but sustaining it under constant public fascination proved extraordinarily challenging.

    Tender yet tragic, the narrative captures how private moments became public spectacle.

    A Distinguished Ensemble Cast

    Bringing depth to the story is a remarkable ensemble cast, including:

    • Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy
    • Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy Onassis
    • Alessandro Nivola as Calvin Klein
    • Leila George as Kelly Klein
    • Sydney Lemmon as Lauren Bessette
    • Constance Zimmer as Ann Marie Messina

  • Netflix Philippines 2026: A New Chapter for World-Class Filipino Entertainment

    Netflix Philippines 2026: A New Chapter for World-Class Filipino Entertainment

    Ten Years In, Filipino Stories Take Center Stage

    As Netflix Philippines marks its tenth year as part of the local entertainment landscape, it enters 2026 with renewed confidence and creative fire. What began as a platform for global hits has steadily transformed into a trusted home for Filipino stories—stories shaped by local voices, grounded in culture, and brought to life with world-class craft.

    feature 11

    The connection is undeniable. In the past year alone, more than 90% of Netflix members in the Philippines watched local content, signaling a powerful shift in viewing habits. Filipino audiences are choosing stories that feel close to home, emotionally resonant, and proudly their own.

    From Streaming Platform to Creative Ally

    Netflix’s journey in the Philippines has been defined by evolution. Early on, it introduced global narratives to local audiences. Over time, it took on a more meaningful role—supporting Filipino creators, backing bold ideas, and helping long-envisioned stories reach the screen.

    1 2

    That trust has paid off. Films and series such as Doll House, Lolo and the Kid, Outside, and Kontrabida Academy didn’t just perform strongly at home; they captured international attention. So far, 32 Filipino titles have made it to Netflix’s Global Top 10, proving that local stories, when told with authenticity and ambition, resonate far beyond borders.

    Netflix’s commitment also extends to the broader industry. Since 2022, the platform has partnered with major networks to premiere episodes of long-running Filipino dramas ahead of their free-to-air broadcasts—starting with ABS-CBN, followed by GMA. This approach offers viewers more flexibility while reinforcing Netflix’s support for the country’s existing entertainment ecosystem.

    “We are excited to continue growing alongside the industry, strengthening partnerships, and supporting more ambitious ideas from script to screen. We continue to bring Filipino stories to the global stage, working with a wide range of creators to showcase the breadth, ambition, and diversity of Filipino storytelling. We are confident viewers will enjoy the varied stories coming to their screens this year, and the many more we look forward to bringing their way,” said Vitto Lazatin, Netflix’s Content Lead for the Philippines and Director of Content Licensing for Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

    A Braver, Bigger Slate for 2026

    If there’s one clear direction Filipino audiences are pointing toward, it’s this: bigger worlds and bolder choices. Netflix Philippines’ 2026 slate reflects that momentum with five original Filipino productions—three series and two films, its most ambitious lineup to date.

    BuyBust: The Undesirables

    Set after the events of the 2018 film, this dystopian action series stars Anne Curtis and is directed by Erik Matti. With expansive sets, a large ensemble cast, and heightened spectacle, it pushes Filipino action storytelling into daring new territory.

    Balaraw

    Directed by Rae Red, this atmospheric horror-mystery series draws from Filipino folklore. Unsettling yet deeply rooted in local sensibilities, it delivers an ensemble narrative that feels fresh, eerie, and emotionally gripping.

    Balaraw

    18th Rose

    A modern YA romance film, 18th Rose revisits the thrill and tenderness of first love. Featuring a new on-screen pairing of Xyriel Manabat and Kyle Echarri, it’s youthful, charming, and quietly powerful.

    Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon

    Led by Jodi Sta. Maria, this family drama offers an offbeat yet heartfelt look at Filipino family life. Balancing humor and emotional honesty, it captures the chaos, warmth, and complexity that feel instantly familiar.

    Paskong Pinoy

    Celebrating the country that holds the world’s longest Christmas season, this feel-good anthology revives classic Filipino holiday storytelling. With themes of nostalgia, romance, second chances, and homecoming, it’s a warm tribute to the season Filipinos love most.

    PaskongPinoy 2

    Stronger Stories Through Local Partnerships

    Netflix also continues its collaboration with local networks, premiering select series three days ahead of free-to-air television.

    GMA’s The Master Cutter stars Dingdong Dantes as a former scout ranger living a double life—quiet tailor by day, relentless bounty hunter by night.

    MasterCutter

    ABS-CBN’s Someone, Someday follows a woman haunted by her past who creates a dating app designed to help women find the right love at the right time. The series stars Kathryn Bernardo and James Reid in a fresh pairing, alongside Maja Salvador.

    SomeoneSomeday

    Looking Ahead with Confidence

    Together, Netflix Philippines’ 2026 titles reflect the scale, range, and emotional depth of Filipino storytelling today. Familiar genres are reimagined, new ideas take bold shape, and local voices continue to find space to shine—both at home and around the world.

    As Netflix moves into its next decade in the Philippines, the message is clear: Filipino entertainment isn’t just thriving. It’s confidently stepping forward, with heart, ambition, and stories worth sharing.
