NEW - The Shyamalan Movie Even the Critic Can't Kill

What to watch this weekend comes down to ignoring professional advice. Trap on Netflix with Josh Hartnett; everyone is screaming it’s a bad idea. It cost 30 million dollars but looks cheap. The story turns dark and suspenseful. Then the critic tells you Shyamalan's daughter inexplicably becomes the world's greatest detective in the third act, the FBI profiler nemesis never intersects with the protagonist, and Shyamalan writes dialogue like an extraterrestrial studying human interaction. None of that stops you.

Catherine O'Hara died this week after being nominated for The Studio with Seth Rogen. She was present, working, suddenly gone. Send Help puts Rachel McAdams on a deserted island with her boss from hell, Sam Raimi directing at 93 percent certified fresh. Iron Lung is a YouTuber's first feature about a convict welded into a submarine searching blood oceans, building to a Hellraiser wild third act. Wrecking Crew pairs Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa as tender funny half brothers. Wonder Man takes Marvel off script with a struggling actor's LA odyssey starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen III and Ben Kingsley. Shrinking Season 3 brings Michael J. Fox back for Parkinson's conversations television has never delivered this honestly before.

Critics hate things audiences watch anyway because Hartnett elevates everything around him just by existing in the frame. What Fox did addressing Parkinson's frankly on camera matters more than anything else releasing this month. The 93 percent rating on Send Help makes it the safest theatrical bet, but safe rarely wins against curiosity about what everyone says you shouldn't watch.

Topics: weekend streaming guide, theatrical releases January 2026, Michael J. Fox acting return, Catherine O'Hara legacy, honest disability portrayal
