This summer, horror fans have their chance to see a truly different version of intimacy with Together, a supernatural body horror film starring the real-life married couple, Alison Brie and Dave Franco.

Directed by Michael Shanks in his feature film debut, Together which hits theaters across the country on July 30, 2025, follows Tim (Franco) and Millie (Brie)—a couple at a crossroads in their relationship. They decide to move to the countryside, hoping that a change of scenery will rekindle their bond for each other. Instead, they meet a mysterious unnatural force that takes over not only their life and love, but even their bodies. As the couple grows further apart and their perception of reality unravels, they face a living nightmare.

The film, which made its debut at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, uses body horror to examine the disturbing consequences of codependency. Reviews have praised the emotional realism between Brie and Franco, as well as the film’s mix of psychological suspense and grotesque physical special effects.

The story’s relationship drama and supernatural terror makes it a standout, providing hella scares and a provocative look at what it means to truly become one with someone you love. With its spin on the horror genre and a haunting trailer soundtracked by The Turtles’ “Happy Together,” Together will likely make it one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

Adam Sandler’s legendary underdog golfer is back in Happy Gilmore 2, set to premiere July 25 on Netflix. Nearly three decades after the original film captured audiences with its raucous blend of sports and slapstick, Sandler reprises his iconic role as Happy Gilmore, the hockey player-turned-golf sensation who once shocked the sport’s establishment with his unorthodox style and long drives.

The sequel, directed by Kyle Newacheck and written by Sandler alongside longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy, picks up with Happy facing a new challenge: funding his daughter Vienna’s ballet education. With the $300,000 cost of tuition, Happy dusts off his clubs and returns to the green for one more shot at glory.

Joining Sandler are familiar faces Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, who return as Virginia Venit and Shooter McGavin, respectively, alongside Ben Stiller reprising his eccentric role. The cast also features Sandler’s real-life daughters, Sunny and Sadie, and a roster of cameos spanning sports and entertainment. Notably, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce makes a guest appearance, adding to the film’s star-studded lineup.

Shot on location in New Jersey, Happy Gilmore 2 is a mix of nostalgia and new laughs, as Happy swings his way through financial woes, family pressure, and the ever-present rivalry with Shooter McGavin. Fans will love the return of this comedy which features the heart, humor, and irreverence that made the original a cult favorite.

How often do you say “I’m sorry”?

If you’re a woman, chances are you say it a lot. A study by the Association for Psychological Science found conclusively that women self-report apologizing at a far higher rate than men. While there are a lot of factors that feed into this being the case, the fact remains that women, especially “women of a certain age”, often feel pressure (whether internal or external) to say “I’m sorry”.

Playwright Melissa R. Randel thought about the gender disparity in apologies a lot when she noticed herself apologizing for things she didn’t mean to. She began to “fixate” on her use of the term, so much so that it eventually developed into her newest play Sorry., now premiering in a bold new production by the theater company Moving Arts.

Sorry. deals with three women from three very different time periods, who come to realize that the struggles they face aren’t so different after all. Sure, Francine’s a high-powered lawyer who murders her husband, Lillian’s a 19th century woman performing herbal abortions, and Persephone’s an Ancient Greek domestic violence survivor battling breast cancer, but all three of them have one thing in common: they’re done apologizing.

Sorry. is running now through July 19, 2025 at the Moving Arts Theatre in Atwater Village.

Amid the bustle of Mumbai, a young Indian street dancer, Manish Chauhan, is determined to defy the odds. His journey to pursue his passion, captured in the documentary Call Me Dancer, is now streaming on the PBS app as part of WORLD Channel’s “Doc World” series.

Manish, a charismatic break dancer from a working-class family, is expected to follow a traditional path—his parents, a taxi driver and homemaker, urge him to prioritize security over passion. They’ve spent every penny on his education.

A chance encounter with Yehuda Maor, a gruff, 75-year-old Israeli ballet master, sets Manish on a remarkable trajectory. Under Yehuda’s demanding tutelage, Manish discovers a new world of discipline and artistry, dedicating himself to ballet and contemporary dance despite financial hardship and skepticism.

Directed by Leslie Shampaine and Pip Gilmour, the inspirational documentary follows Manish’s five-year journey to become a professional dancer across India, the UK, Israel, and the US, capturing every heart-wrenching setback and hard-earned triumph. The film chronicles his struggles to secure a professional contract, and eventually, his breakthrough with New York’s Peridance Contemporary Dance Company. Along the way, Manish and Yehuda form an unlikely bond through their shared passion for dance.

Call Me Dancer is more than a dance documentary—it’s a study in the transformative power of mentorship—and ultimately a celebration of resilience, friendship, and the pursuit of dreams against all odds.
