A mix of celebrity panic, old grudges, and crooked institutions — four very different movies, all with enough tension or chaos to keep the night moving.
A beloved Hollywood star gets hit with a blackmail threat tied to a mysterious video, forcing him into a messy apology tour through old relationships, image management, and the wreckage of his own past.
After a reckless World Cup sponsorship pitch and an even worse celebration, two American marketing executives find themselves hunted across Brazil by fans, officials, and criminals. It’s loud, stupid, and built around watching one bad idea spiral into many more.
A married couple’s polished new life begins to crack when an old acquaintance starts showing up with gifts, cryptic warmth, and unresolved history. The movie turns a chance reunion into a slow, unsettling reckoning with guilt and buried cruelty.
Two undercover operatives from different agencies discover they’ve both been manipulated after a cartel job explodes into a fight over stolen money. The double-crosses pile up fast, but the real hook is watching two reluctant partners navigate a corrupt system with no one left to trust.

I’m endorsing Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress in New York’s 13th District.
She’s a real fighter. She has a real shot.
Darializa is running to put working people first. Her message centers on keeping people in their homes. It centers on defending neighbors from ICE. It centers on investing in communities and children instead of bombs.
That kind of unapologetic working-class politics is exactly what this moment calls for. She’s making a direct case for politics that is pro-worker and anti-establishment and not bought by corporate interests.
If you’re in NY‑13 or you want to help send another serious progressive fighter to Congress please donate. Please volunteer. Please spread the word.
19 Apr 2026 Reading time: 1 minute Quick spotlight on a group that combines immediate help with long-term advocacy, and has spent decades pushing New York toward more humane responses to homelessness.
What is Coalition for the Homeless?
Coalition for the Homeless is the nation’s oldest advocacy and direct service organization helping homeless individuals and families. Since 1981, it has paired frontline support, including food, eviction prevention, crisis services, housing, job training, and youth programs, with policy advocacy, shelter monitoring, and public education focused on long-term solutions.
Why I like recommending them
- Direct help + systems change. They work on urgent needs right now while also fighting for housing-based solutions and the rights of homeless New Yorkers.
- Deep local credibility. Their advocacy is grounded in decades of hands-on work with people facing homelessness in New York City.
