10. ‘Trolls Band Together’ (2023)

DreamWorks Animation

Walt Dohrn directs ‘Trolls Band Together’ with Tim Heitz as co-director and a screenplay by Elizabeth Tippet, continuing DreamWorks Animation’s candy-colored musical series. Anna Kendrick returns as Poppy and Justin Timberlake as Branch, with a supporting voice cast that includes Camila Cabello, Eric André, Kid Cudi, Troye Sivan, Zooey Deschanel, and more.

This chapter sends Poppy and Branch on a rescue-and-reunion quest tied to Branch’s old boy band and a pair of pop-star villains chasing a perfect “ultimate” song. The movie structures its story around concert set pieces, sibling dynamics, and musical mash-ups, moving briskly through new Troll tribes and glitter-bombed locations before a finale that leans on harmony—both musical and family-centric.

9. ‘Novocaine’ (2025)

Paramount Pictures

‘Novocaine’ is an action-comedy directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen and written by Lars Jacobson. Jack Quaid stars as Nathan Caine, an assistant bank manager with a rare condition that prevents him from feeling physical pain; Amber Midthunder co-stars as Sherry. The ensemble also includes Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, and Jacob Batalon.

The plot kicks into gear when a daylight heist turns personal and Sherry is kidnapped, forcing Nathan to use his unusual condition to survive shootouts, car wrecks, and improvised brawls while tracking the crew responsible. With music contributions from Lorne Balfe and Andrew Kawczynski and fast-cut action built around stunt gags that exploit Nathan’s pain-insensitivity, the movie plays like a chase that escalates city-wide before closing in on the kidnappers’ safe house.

8. ‘Wicked’ (2024)

Universal Pictures

Directed by Jon M. Chu, ‘Wicked’ adapts the Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, itself based on Gregory Maguire’s novel. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, with Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, and Peter Dinklage in a featured role. The screenplay is by Winnie Holzman, with Schwartz overseeing the songs and Alice Brooks as cinematographer.

The narrative reframes Oz before and during the events associated with Dorothy, chronicling how Elphaba and Glinda go from roommates to rivals amid political manipulation and propaganda. Musical numbers anchor turning points—classroom scenes at Shiz University, the Emerald City’s spectacle, and the ascent of Elphaba’s reputation—while production design and orchestration tie back to the stage origins.

7. ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ (2023)

The plot tracks Brooklyn plumbers Mario and Luigi after they’re pulled into the Mushroom Kingdom, where Mario teams with Peach and Toad to stop Bowser’s plan to force a royal marriage and dominate the realms. Packed with game-series references, kart racing, and power-ups, the film uses a brisk quest structure that moves from the Jungle Kingdom to Bowser’s armada and culminates in a showdown that spills back into the real world.

As Kiki navigates parole constraints and family-court pressure, a high-stakes drug deal becomes her one chance to neutralize her ex and protect her daughter.

The ensemble includes Daniel Craig, Léa Seydoux, Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, and Ralph Fiennes, with a score by Hans Zimmer and cinematography by Linus Sandgren.

The plot sends Bond out of retirement when a missing scientist and a dangerous bioweapon lead to a confrontation with the villain Safin. The film interweaves MI6 politics, a CIA partnership, and personal stakes involving Madeleine Swann, culminating in large-scale action set pieces and a definitive conclusion to the Craig era.

The story kicks off when Marvin’s estranged ties to contract killing resurface through family trouble, drawing him into a showdown that mixes open-house gags with close-quarters fights and weapons work. Edited by Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir with music by Dominic Lewis, the film blends humor and momentum, using stunt-driven set pieces to push Marvin toward an uneasy reconciliation between who he was and who he’s trying to be.

Green Dog Films

‘Diablo’ is a lean, fight-forward action film directed by Ernesto Díaz Espinoza and anchored by Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror. The movie continues their long-running screen rivalry with a showcase of practical stunts, extended takes, and precise choreography.

The story follows an ex-con pulled back into cartel turmoil after trying to keep a low profile, setting off a string of vendettas, ambushes, and brutal showdowns. Shot across gritty urban and rural locations, the film keeps the focus on hand-to-hand combat and propulsive, ground-level set pieces.

Directed by David Ayer and based on Chuck Dixon’s novel ‘Levon’s Trade’, ‘A Working Man’ centers on a former special-operations contractor trying to lead a quiet life. Jason Statham headlines in a role built around tradecraft, surveillance, and hard-edged close-quarters action.

When threats from his past resurface, he’s drawn back into a conflict that endangers his family. The film builds its momentum around a cat-and-mouse pursuit, layering cover identities, small-town fronts, and escalating confrontations with organized criminals.

Team Downey

‘Play Dirty’ is an action-heist film directed by Shane Black and based on Donald E. Westlake’s Parker novels (written under the pen name Richard Stark).

The screenplay adapts the long-running crime character’s meticulous methods and criminal code for a contemporary setting.

The plot follows Parker after a double-cross on a job, forcing him to rebuild a crew and plan a high-stakes retaliation. Expect the story to revolve around careful planning, shifting loyalties, and a tightly wound underworld ecosystem as Parker navigates mob interests and a powerful adversary.
