• New York Post Lou Lumenick The King's Speech is the rare work of art that's also an immense crowdpleaser.
• AV Club Tasha Robinson The King's Speech is admirably free of easy answers and simple, happy endings; it's a skewed, awards-ready version of history, but one polished to a fine, satisfying shine.
• Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum The King's Speech is simultaneously cozy and majestic.
• San Diego Reader David Elliott The film is richly rooted, with splendid trappings, including pea-soup fogs. For all the pomp and protocol, it's an intimate story about a scared man who must find his voice if he is to rise, in regal stature, above his epaulets.
• St. Louis Post-Dispatch Joe Williams The King's Speech is the epitome of prestige cinema, an impeccably crafted and emotionally compelling drama that deserves the many laurels it surely will receive.

'Godzilla x Kong' streaming: When and where to watch the film online in the US

T he MonsterVerse keeps thriving thanks to the success of the “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” which has grossed over $350 million in global box office. It is the biggest opening of the year, surpassing Timothée Chalamet ’s “Dune: Part Two.” But, when is the movie coming to streaming?

Unlike the previous film on the franchise, “Godzilla vs. Kong,” which received a simultaneous release in theaters and streaming in 2021, “The New Empire” is having an exclusive theatrical release. However, being distributed by Warner Bros. we can expect the film to arrive on Max.

While the studio hasn’t confirmed a release date, thanks to previous releases such as “Wonka,” “Barbie” and “Dune,” we have some precedents to estimate when the fifth installment of the MonsterVerse franchise will be available to watch from home.

Streaming Release of ‘Godzilla X Kong’: When will arrive on Max?

For now, “Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire” is exclusively available in theaters worldwide since its release on March 29, 2024. However, usually, studios set the digital release of movies after 45 days of its theatrical window .

In the case of “The New Empire,” that would be on Monday, May 13. However, it can also change depending on the success at the box office. For example, “Barbie” had its digital release pushed into two months after being released in theaters.

But “Dune: Part Two,” which has grossed over $700.6 million worldwide so far, had its digital release date for April 16th, exactly 46 days after its theatrical debut. So, it’s reasonable to think that “Godzilla x Kong” will have a similar schedule .

Meanwhile, when it comes to its release on Max , it can be between three and five months after its theatrical debut . Wonka, which was released in December, arrived on Max in March, while Barbie, released in July, arrived on the platform in December.

Arthur the King: Plot, Trailer, Cast, Runtime, Rating

“Over the course of 10 days and 435 miles, an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light (Wahlberg) and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Based on an incredible true story, Arthur the King follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. As the team is pushed to their outer limits of endurance in the race, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty, and friendship truly mean.”

Aside from Wahlberg, Arthur the King also stars Simu Liu, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Ali Suliman, and is rated PG-13 with a runtime of one hour, 47 minutes.

Return to the Pridelands with the first trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King

Share All sharing options for: Return to the Pridelands with the first trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King

After the massive success of 2019’s “live-action” Lion King , it only made sense for Disney to explore more of that photorealistic CG world . Instead of adapting the direct-to-home-video sequel The Lion King: Simba’s Pride , or the Disney Junior series The Lion Guard , though, the next movie will delve into the backstory of Simba’s father, Mufasa .

It’s a prequel, but it’s also a little bit of the sequel, since apparently the framing device involves the daughter of Simba and Nala. And it appears that Mufasa’s origins are surprising, because the trailer opens up on a snowy mountain instead of the savanna from the original movies .

The official synopsis is as follows:

Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

Hardcore Lion King fans will recognize that “Taka” is actually Scar’s given name . So it seems like this prequel will show how Mufasa usurped the divine right to rule by being a more competent leader. And hey! If they ever adapt future Kiara’s story, maybe they’ll turn it from a star-crossed romance into a tale of the young lioness introducing democracy to the Pridelands.

Directed by Academy Award-winning director Barry Jenkins ( Moonlight ), Mufasa: The Lion King stars Aaron Pierre ( Old ) as Mufasa, with Kelvin Harrison Jr. ( Chevalier ) as Taka. John Kani, Donald Glover, and Beyoncé reprise their role as Rafiki, Simba, and Nala, respectively, with Blue Ivy Carter (Beyoncé’s daughter, y’all!!!!!!!!!!) making her debut as Kiara. Lin-Manuel Miranda will be writing new songs for the movie.

Mufasa: The Lion King is scheduled to hit theaters on Dec. 20.

Rafiki : [from trailer] This story begins far beyond the mountains and the shadows. On the other side of the light, a lion was born without a drop of nobility in his blood. A lion who change our lives forever. The earth will shake, destiny awaits you.
