Solo Mio

February 7, 2026

SOLO MIO is a 2026 romantic comedy drama film directed by Chuck and Dan Kinnane, from a screenplay the brothers co-wrote with Kevin James. The film had its world premiere at the Coconut Grove Cinépolis in Miami, FL, on January 20th, 2026. The film took a unique marketing approach, creating a social media profile in October 2025 which included video uploads from Kevin James giving insight into his life as an art teacher. The videos, which eventually concluded with him sharing a story of his proposal with a fellow teacher, were incredibly popular as people weren’t sure if James was marketing a film or if something else was going on.

A wedding disaster leaves the groom (Kevin James) stranded in Rome, heartbroken in the world’s happiest city. But with one determined local—and a few meddling vacation couples—in his corner, his ruined honeymoon becomes an adventure he never expected. Because sometimes heartbreak is just the first chapter of a better story.

The cast includes Kevin James, Jonathan Roumie, Kim Coates, Alyson Hannigan, and Nicole Grimaudo.

SOLO MIO is set to debut in theaters February 6th, courtesy of Angel Studios. Watch the official trailer below.

The Strangers: Chapter 3

February 1, 2026

THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 3 is a 2026 horror film directed by Renny Harlin, from a screenplay by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. It serves as the fifth film in The Strangers film series, and the final installment of a new trilogy following THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 1 (our full review here) and THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 (our full review here). I will be the first to admit that the first entry in the new trilogy was a bit rough to say the least, but the 2nd film impressed me with more of a focus on origin story and the slasher element that made the franchise so successful in the beginning.

In the "Strangers" finale, survivors face new threats from masked strangers. Secrets emerge, jeopardizing their lives as the line between reality and peril blurs in their battle for survival.

The cast includes Madelaine Petsch, Gabriel Basso, Ema Horvath, and Richard Brake.
