This fall, Ben Affleck, Kerry Washington, Gillian Anderson, Adriana Paz, Ray Fisher, Matt Gerald, Luis Gerardo Méndez, and Steven Yeun are set to deliver an intense action-packed crime thriller in Animal, directed by Affleck and written by Affleck, Connor O. McIntyre, and Billy Ray.

“Be a citizen of heaven living on earth.”

As followers of Christ, our true home is not found in this world but in heaven. Yet while we are still here on earth, God calls us to live in a way that reflects where we truly belong.

Being a citizen of heaven means allowing our words, choices, relationships, and actions to reflect the character of Christ.

Philippians 3:20 reminds us, “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Our identity is rooted in Christ, not in worldly success, possessions, or recognition.

Jesus also reminds us in Matthew 5:14–16 that we are “the light of the world.” We are called to shine—not by separating ourselves from the world, but by showing God’s love and goodness through the way we live.

Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Living as a citizen of heaven means choosing God’s ways even when they are different from the ways of the world.

Reflection:
Am I living in a way that shows others that I belong to Christ? Do my words, decisions, and actions reflect the values of heaven?
We may be living on earth, but our hearts should be set on things above. Let us live each day as representatives of heaven—loving deeply, forgiving freely, serving humbly, and walking faithfully with Christ.

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” — Colossians 3:2

Prayer:
Lord, help me remember that my true citizenship is in heaven. While I live on earth, may my life reflect Your love, grace, truth, and holiness. Let my words and actions point others toward You. Amen.

Gen Z’s ultimate “It” girl, Alix Earle, is going unfiltered in Netflix’s Earle Meets World—a candid reality series offering a front-row look at her career, relationships, and famously blended family.

At the center are sisters Alix and Ashtin Earle, their parents TJ and Alisa Earle, stepmother Ashley Dupré Earle, Alisa’s partner Todd, and Alix and Ashtin’s three younger half-siblings: Izabel, Penelope, and Thomas. Add close friends to the mix, and it’s a full-on family ensemble packed with glam, chaos, tension, and plenty of drama.

Alix, born December 16, 2000, grew up in New Jersey and rose to fame while studying marketing at the University of Miami. Her relatable TikTok “Get Ready With Me” videos—complete with acne, messy rooms, hangovers, dating fails, and late-night chaos—turned her into a social-media powerhouse.

Her influence became known as the “Alix Earle effect,” with products she featured often selling out within hours. Today, she boasts more than 13 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, major brand partnerships, and a Dancing with the Stars runner-up finish.

Her younger sister Ashtin Earle, born April 7, 2003, has carved out her own digital lane. With a background in psychology, she has built a following through GRWMs, vlogs, and fashion content—serving a darker, vintage-inspired, almost witchy aesthetic that sharply contrasts with Alix’s signature glam.

Behind the sisters is a complicated family history. TJ and Alisa divorced when Alix and Ashtin were young. TJ later married Ashley Dupré, and the couple welcomed three children: Izabel, Penelope, and Thomas. Alisa is now with Todd, who also appears in the Netflix series.

Alix has previously opened up about how difficult her parents’ separation was growing up, while also crediting Ashley for eventually becoming a close and supportive figure in her life.

The younger Earle siblings have also become familiar faces online. Izabel, Penelope, and Thomas frequently appear in family content, with Izabel and Penelope even joining Alix and Ashtin at the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit show in Miami.

Now, Earle Meets World takes the family dynamic offline—and deeper. Netflix promises a mix of glamorous events, global travel, career pressure, family conflicts, vulnerable conversations, and the everyday chaos behind Alix’s carefully curated social-media persona.

Premiering September 4, Earle Meets World is set to reveal the real people, relationships, and drama behind the Earle empire.

Anya Taylor-Joy is officially back as Alia Atreides, the younger sister of Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, in the highly anticipated “Dune: Part Three.”

But this isn’t your typical royal-family storyline! Taylor-Joy teases Alia as a character blessed—and haunted—with ancestral memories dating back to the womb, making her incredibly powerful while leaving her vulnerable to psychological turmoil and instability. One thing remains rock-solid: her fierce loyalty and devotion to her brother Paul.

Set 17 years after “Dune: Part Two,” the third installment promises to crank up the action and intensity. Director Denis Villeneuve has hinted at a fresh tone, new planets, and unexplored regions of Arrakis that could take the franchise into completely new territory.

And the stakes? MASSIVE.

Paul must face the brutal consequences of absolute power and the devastating cycle of violence surrounding his rise. Yet beneath the politics, prophecy, and warfare, Villeneuve says the heart of the film remains a love story between Paul and Chani.

Meanwhile, Princess Irulan and Chani are expected to share more screen time, while Stilgar faces a major crisis of faith that could change everything.

📅 In U.S. theaters December 18, 2026.

ALIA IS COMING. ARRakis WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

From the international acclaim surrounding Lav Diaz’s Magellan, which earned a prestigious Cannes Film Festival showcase, to his compelling work in Cinemartyrs and his acclaimed stage performance in BALOS at VLF XXI, B**g Cabrera continues to cement his reputation as one of Philippine cinema’s standout world-class artists.

Now, Cabrera takes on another demanding role in TAYO LANG ANG NAKAKAALAM (Only the Two of Us Know), an official entry to Cinemalaya 22: Reel Reflections. He portrays Deej, the Head of Human Resources and the boss of Neil, played by Martin Del Rosario, at a call center company.

These international engagements signal another significant chapter in Cabrera’s evolving career, positioning him for an even wider audience and reinforcing his presence in the global film circuit.

Channing Tatum is lining up three wildly different projects, proving once again that Hollywood’s leading men can still keep the big screen unpredictable.

First up is Josephine, the upcoming thriller-drama written, directed, and produced by Beth de Araújo. Tatum stars alongside Gemma Chan, Mason Reeves, Philip Ettinger, and Syra McCarthy, bringing a darker, more dramatic edge to his already versatile filmography. Josephine is set to hit U.S. theaters on November 20, 2026.

Then comes the massive superhero spectacle Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated follow-up to Avengers: Endgame. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film brings together the Avengers, Wakandans, New Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men as they converge from different universes to face Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to storm theaters on December 18, 2026.

Rounding out the trio is Isle of Man, a drama written and directed by Reid Carolin. Tatum leads the cast alongside Eve Hewson, Ciarán Hinds, May Calamawy, and Ruaridh Mollica. The film is currently underway, adding another intriguing chapter to Tatum’s ever-expanding slate.

Three films. Three completely different flavors. One Channing Tatum.

From gritty drama to multiverse-sized superhero mayhem and character-driven storytelling, the Hollywood star clearly has no plans to let the big screen go quiet. November and December are already shaping up to be a Tatum takeover, while Isle of Man continues its journey behind the scenes.

So, Channing Tatum fans, stay tuned. The next chapter promises fresh territory, unexpected turns, and performances that could reveal a side of the star audiences haven’t seen before.
