A24’s behind-the-scenes look at Warfare includes interviews with the cast and filmmakers Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Civil War). The film is based on Mendoza’s experiences during the Iraq War, and the cast recognizes the importance of sharing this story. In the two-minute first look video, Mendoza states, “Veterans who want to talk to their loved ones and say, ‘Hey, this is my experience,’ or ‘This is what I’m feeling,’ you’re the reason why I made this film.”
“Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory,” reads A24’s synopsis. “A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.”
A24’s set an April 11, 2025 theatrical release date.

Art Detectives “is centered around the Heritage Crime Unit, a police department consisting of art loving DI Mick Palmer (Moyer) and straight-talking DC Shazia Malik (Singh). Together, they solve murders connected to the world of art and antiques, from Old Master paintings, to Banksy street art, medieval manuscripts and collectible vinyl,” reads Acorn TV’s synopsis. “Throughout the season, the artfully astute detectives encounter a fake Vermeer, Viking gold, a rare Chinese vase and items rescued from the Titanic. It’s a rich and colorful world driven by greed, obsession, lust and revenge. Mick navigates these demanding cases while managing a budding romance with museum curator Rosa (Alexander) and the sudden reappearance of his charismatic father, Ron (Lamb), who just happens to be one of Britain’s most notorious forgers.”
Dan Gaster, Will Ing, Paul Powell, Emma Goodwin, and Kitty Percy serve as writers. Jennie Paddon directs, and Gaster, Ing and Powell executive produce for Black Dog Television.

Every second counts as McCall’s team searches for a missing boy on CBS’s The Equalizer season five episode 11, “Taken.” Episode 11, directed by Tasha Smith and written by Vanessa K. Herron and Rob Hanning, is set to air on Sunday, March 9, 2025 at 10pm ET/PT.
Queen Latifah stars as Robyn McCall, Tory Kittles is Detective Marcus Dante, Adam Goldberg is Harry Keshegian, and Liza Lapira is Melody “Mel” Bayani. Laya DeLeon Hayes plays Delilah and Lorraine Toussaint is Viola “Vi” Marsette.
“Taken” Plot: After a little boy disappears from a mall, McCall and the team track down the missing child. Meanwhile, Aunt Vi and Captain Curtis clear the air about what happened during their ride along.
“The Equalizer is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall presents to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is The Equalizer – an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who’s also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption.
Robyn’s clandestine work and her personal life often collide when her smart and observant daughter, Delilah, and her aunt Vi, who lives with Robyn to help her balance life as a working mother, struggle to conceal her vigilante career. While Robyn worries about the mental and emotional toll her work exacts on her family, she is joined in her pursuit of justice by Melody “Mel” Bayani, an edgy bar owner and sniper from Robyn’s past who recently quit the Equalizer team to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder; and Harry Keshegian, a paranoid and brilliant white-hat hacker married to Mel.
As Robyn aids the oppressed and exploited, she sometimes works with Marcus Dante, an NYPD detective and trusted friend who respects the need for Robyn’s type of justice even as he often questions her methods.”

NCIS: Sydney Synopsis, Courtesy of CBS:
NCIS: Sydney is the fifth series to come out of the popular global NCIS franchise and the first-ever international edition. With rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific, a brilliant and eclectic team of U.S. NCIS agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are grafted into a multinational taskforce to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet.
Led by NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey and her 2IC AFP counterpart, Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey, our team of Americans and Aussies must quickly learn to trust each other, overcoming and harnessing their differences to solve each case. Though jurisdictional tussles and culture clashes make for a rocky start, Mackey will eventually come to respect JD’s nose for the truth, as he does her maverick style.
Meanwhile, sassy AFP Constable Evie Cooper and endlessly curious Special Agent DeShawn Jackson form a fast friendship, while curmudgeonly forensic pathologist Doctor Roy Penrose meets his match in the brilliant young forensic scientist Bluebird “Blue” Gleeson. Together, our team becomes NCIS’ first-ever internationally blended family.

Netflix unveiled the final trailer for The Electric State, providing one more tease of the upcoming sci-fi film based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag. The trailer shows Netflix’s go-to star Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) teaming up with Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Chris Pratt and some renegade robots to find her missing sibling.
The cast also includes Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito, and Stanley Tucci. Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo, and Alan Tudyk voice The Electric State characters.
Netflix offers this description of the sci-fi thriller from directors Anthony and Joe Russo:
“The Electric State is a spectacular sci-fi adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising. Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher — Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead.
Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo, and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats (Chris Pratt), a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected.”
Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay, and the Russos, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, Chris Castaldi, and Patrick Newall served as producers. Executive producers include Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Tim Connors, Nick van Dyk, Jake Aust, Geoffrey Haley, and Jeffrey Ford.

The 2025 Oscars turned out to be a golden night for Anora. The critically acclaimed indie took home five Oscars including Best Director, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay (all Sean Baker), Best Actress (Mikey Madison), and Best Picture. Anora won in every category it was nominated in except Best Supporting Actor (Yura Borisov) which went to Kieran Culkin as expected.
Emilia Pérez went into Hollywood’s Big Night with 13 nominations, winning in just two: Best Supporting Actress (Zoe Saldana) and Best Original Song. The Brutalist was recognized with three Oscars after earning 10 nominations. Wicked also earned 10 nominations and finished the night with two wins. And Dune: Part Two won the Achievement in Sound and Visual Effects Oscars out of its five nominations.
The show opened with a moving tribute to Los Angeles followed by Ariana Grande singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Cynthia Erivo performing “Home” from The Wiz, and Grande and Erivo dueting on “Defying Gravity” from Wicked. That opening alone made the 2025 Oscars worth watching.
Conan O’Brien kept the opening monologue focused on actors and films, and avoided politics throughout the show-for the most part. Two hours in when Anora was sweeping awards, O’Brien delivered his most memorable joke of the night, saying, “I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.”
Winners were announced during the 97th Oscars on Sunday, March 2, 2025.
