Wolverine review roundup: Frankly, we're starting to feel a little better about the whole 'PlayStation 5 exclusive' thing
Insomniac's long-awaited Wolverine is out, and, well, it's not great. I mean that in the very literal sense: It's fine—good, even, at least in some ways—but it's not great, and that's a problem for a game that was positioned as one of Sony's biggest PlayStation 5 exclusives of the past few years. The bar was high, and the ol' Canucklehead didn't quite clear it.
‘Obsession’ One Year Later: Inde Navarrette and Curry Barker Dish on Memes, How Nikki Became More ‘Flirty’ and Their Wild Ride at TIFF
“Obsession’s” origin story is the stuff of legend.
On Sept. 7, 2025, just two days after its rapturously received premiere in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival, distributor Focus Features offered to acquire its rights for $14-$15 million. The film, about a friend-zoned record store employee named Bear (Michael Johnston) who forces the object of his desire, Nikki (Inde Navarrette), to fall madly — and I do mean madly — in love with him via a mystical toy, was released the following May, where it became a cultural phenomenon, grossing over $500 million worldwide (against a $750,000 budget) and vaulting its 26-year-old writer-director, Curry Barker, and star Inde Navarrette, 25, to the top of the Hollywood A-list. Barker subsequently signed an eight-figure deal with Universal and Blumhouse, who helped shepherd “Obsession,” for his third feature, while Navarrette was cast as Rogue in Marvel’s “X-Men” reboot.

Chronoscript: The Endless End aims to upend the Metroidvania
Image: DeskWorks/Shueisha Games via PolygonWhat to do when you're a writer incapable of finishing a story? Simple: you kidnap an editor. Optionally, you may use your vampire powers to trap said editor inside your manuscript and have him fight demonic creatures until he's cleared up your work. But should the editor really complain about his fate, when the manuscript looks as gorgeous as it does in Chronoscript: The Endless End? I got the chance to find out during a 20-minute online presentation followed by an exclusive hands-on demo.

‘Let Us Through, Dear Ancestors’ Review: Lav Diaz Delivers an Immaculate, Slow-Burn Period Drama of Rare and Restless Insight
Set almost a century after Magellan first landed on the Philippine Archipelago, and coming just a year after “Magellan,” director Lav Diaz‘s last film, landed in Cannes, “Let Us Through, Dear Ancestors” is a description of bruised history rendered in the sharp, precise, scarring lines of a newly inked tattoo. In many ways a companion piece to “Magellan”‘s epic, full-color demythologization of the Portuguese explorer’s legacy, but in others a convex-mirror inversion that unfolds in crisp monochrome and embeds itself within the experiences of the everyday oppressed, “Ancestors” weaponizes the beauty of its setting in the seething, untameable jungles of Luzon island, against the ugliness of the newly unleashed colonial spirit of acquisition, exploitation and subjugation. Diaz lets the story uncoil slowly; disasters of this magnitude rarely happen in a hurry.
