For a fifth time, Pixar's oldest film series remains a constant presence. The Andy years definitely delivered a perfect trilogy, but don't knock the Bonnie era. "Toy Story 5" still feels quite relevant, especially with a familiar villain replacing toys: screen time. Bonnie (Scarlett Spears) remains imaginative, and that's a problem. All her peers have a Kindle - apologies, I mean Lilypad. This is fiction after all. Amazon and Meta are our friends, right?

Alfred Molina is a standout in “The Boroughs.” (photo courtesy of Netflix) Media options are a bit slow out there. That makes sense with so many films booming on the big screen right now. Horror and action are primed to steal the summer. But if you just can’t get out, streaming services offer some enjoyable options, albeit only a few heavy hitters. ‘From’/MGM+ Horror mystery “From” continues with season 4.

Hugh Jackman, right, is a kindly sheep herder in “The Sheep Detectives.” (photo courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios) The most emotional, poignant film of the year doesn’t feature any Oscar-bait tears or nostalgic reflection on beloved  IP. Instead, an unexpected gem sports a lotta wool along with a touch of death. More to the point, a bunch of sheep solves a murder to solve the murder of their shepherd. That is very on point with 2026 and it’s all the madness and economic uncertainty.
