Best Stunt Ensemble 'Mission Impossible 8: The Final Reckoning' the 'Actor Awards' 2026

The 32nd annual "Actor Awards" (SAG-AFTRA) was presented live on "Netflix" last night (3-1-2026). As a union member I voted for my favorite acting performances. I was thrilled to see "Mission Impossible 8: The Final Reckoning" win the award for Best Stunt Ensemble in a movie. Tom Cruise did his own stunts in the film and it was fantastic. 

I saw MI8 six times in an IMAX theater which is the only way to view it.

Critics and entertainment magazines claimed that MI8 was a box office bomb in 2025. I beg to differ....

The MI8 production budget climbed to a hefty $400 million. That included public relations promotion. The world-wide box office reached $598 million. The International box office nabbed $401 million which covered the budget. The North American box office grabbed $197 million. Which is Paramount's end profit. That is hardly a bomb which doesn't include Digital/Video-on-Demand plus Blu-Ray and DVD sales.

Congratulations Best Stunt Ensemble.!

Monkey Slasher 'Primate' stalls at box office with $41 million

PRIMATE from PARAMOUNT pictures (2026). The production budget climbed to a reported $21-24 million. The slasher film has now stalled at $41 million in movie theaters. It was released on Digital and Video-On-Demand Feb. 10, 2026. It will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD April 21, 2026 (With bonus materials).

The Paramount advertising campaign capitalized on preview audiences. They gave "Primate" a 92 percent cinema-score (rotten tomatoes website). It also used frightened theater reactions in their promotional ads. The North American box office total climbed to $25 million. Paramount recouped their money and added $17-20 million in profit.

The key is to scare film audiences which "Primate" accomplished. There were CGI effects, but not with the actual chimpanzee (Ben). A little-person actor was put in a monkey suit with great facial make-up. That made the film scary because it was so "real." (In my opinion). Complete CGI effects do not make a film better.

A scene with Ben the family chimpanzee. "Primate" 2026.

Paramount's 'Primate' a moderate box office hit with $40 million

PRIMATE from PARAMOUNT pictures (2026). The horror/slasher film rose above expectations after its' Jan. 9 release. Critics and preview audiences praised the movie. The opening weekend nabbed $11 million at the North American box office.

The production budget ranges from $21-24 million. As of Feb 16, 2026. It has grossed $40 million at the world-wide box office. Paramount has profited $16-19 million. This is a nice chunk of change from a movie dumped in January. Which is  usually a wasteland of movies that make no money.

The filmmakers pulled back on the CGI effects. A monkey suit was put on a little-person-actor. Plus, the heavy make up. The chimpanzee became so "real" that it was scary during his rampage. The rapid monkey came alive and frightened theater audiences. (Including me).

You can Buy and/or Rent "Primate" at YouTube.

Oscar winner Robert Duvall 'Tender Mercies' & TV's 'Lonesome Dove' dies at 95

Robert Duvall is one of my favorite actors of all time. He passed on at age 95 and he will be missed. His movie & TV performances will live on forever. 

Fans and critics are going to choose his popular acting roles in, "Apocalypse Now" and "The Godfather." I enjoyed those performances. But, my favorites are in "The Great Santini" (1979) and the western TV mini-series, "Lonesome Dove" (1989). I have watched each one so many times that I know the dialogue by heart.

I've seen his Oscar winning role in "Tender Mercies" (1983) multiple times. He portrays an aging country singer and it was so good. I also watched, "The Apostle" (1997) and thought he deserved the Oscar as Best Actor that year. Duvall was made for the Western too, "Open Range" (2003), "A Night in Old Mexico" (2013), "Wild Horses" (2015). 

There are too many wonderful performances to list... Rest in Peace Mr. Duvall.

Below is the trailer for the re-mastered Western series "Lonesome Dove" for DVD. It is awesome.!


"The Great Santini" 1979. My absolute favorite performance by Robert Duvall. 

The 1989 TV Western Mini-Series, "Lonesome Dove." Robert Duvall claimed this to be his favorite acting role. It certainly is his most popular. It's one of my favorites too.

Netflix series 'The Lincoln Lawyer' season four gets 3-out-of-5* stars

THE LINCOLN LAWYER from NET-FLIX (2026). Season 4 is now streaming. It stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller who is a defense lawyer at Los Angeles, CA. He is known for driving a classic "Lincoln" car. It is based on the the books written by Michael Connelly.

Matthew McConaughey starred in the 2011 feature film, "The Lincoln Lawyer." I walked into a movie theater to watch it. I thought it was excellent.

Season "Four" started where Season "Three" left off. A dead body was found inside Mickey's car trunk. He is charged with murder and sits in jail as his case moves through the courts.

Mickey's law firm loses clients. Lorna just passed the "bar exam" and is a new defense attorney. She defends him, but is replaced by Maggie who is a prosecutor. She's also his ex-wife. It is an uphill battle as Mickey is targeted by the FBI plus the LAPD. The reason is because the dead body belonged to a con-man named Sam. He is tied to mob families plus a government program on green energy fuel. Millions of dollars are drained from the government.

What I liked is how Maggie defends Mickey in court. She is very good, but that's where the "energy" drops this season. We want to see Mickey in the courtroom because that is where he shines. The final episode is full of excellent drama. It ends on another cliffhanger too that might lead to season 5.

ABC Trailer 'Scrubs' revival premiere's Feb. 25, 2026

Trailer 'Golden' coming soon.!

GOLDEN from an Independent Film Company (2026). It stars Brian Austin Green who starred in the 1990's TV show, "Beverly Hills 90210."

This is not a trend. Older TV stars plus film stars are getting work with independent producers. Some movies are released into theaters. Others are released into both theaters and streaming online. Many are going straight-to-digital where you can Buy or Rent.

"Golden" looks like it will go into select theaters and quickly stream online. Usually at "YouTube" which has a large audience.

TV fans will probably follow "Golden" because of Brian Austin Green. Remember Luke Perry went into Western movies? He's also an alumnus of "Beverly Hills 90210." His fans followed him. So, there is an audience out there.

I had posted the trailer for "Golden" yesterday but it was taken down on YouTube. Here it is below from "Trailer Feed."
