During her time at NASA, Eileen Collins took part in four Space Shuttle missions, serving as the commander of STS-3 Columbia and STS-114 Discovery.

In terms of being an effective leader, Collins’ personal directive was to offer support and let the crew do their job. “The first answer that comes to mind,” said Collins. “It’s being a good listener. Sometimes we think as leaders we need to be giving out orders to people. That might work in basic training in the military because you have young people there for the first time. But when you’re dealing with astronauts that have a lot of experience, they pretty much know what their mission is. The important thing is to not be telling them what to do, but to be there to listen.”

Collins was impressed by Berryman’s own leadership, adding that she and Berryman are a “team” with Spacewoman. “There’s so many different elements,” added Berryman. “With the Crew, the producers, composer, the editor . . . filmmaking is very much teamwork. Which I think, Eileen is saying about commanding in space.”

“It’s the same thing in space flight,” said Collins. “It’s not about me – it’s about the mission.”

Filmmaker Hannah Berryman and Collins are doing Q&As during select Spacewoman screenings. Go the documentary’s official website for further details. CinemAddicts co-host Eric Holmes and I love the documentary, and it’s easily a top film of 2026 for both of us. Check out our CinemAddicts review:

India Eisley reached out to Mena Suvari years ago on social media over a comment Suvari made. “I felt like I needed to address this one thing that she said because it really resonated with something I was going through at that point when I was younger,” said Eisley. She messaged me back and then suddenly we were online buddies.”

In Vampires of the Velvet Lounge, Suvari plays Elizabeth Báthory, a proprietor of an absinthe bar that is used as a front for, simply put, bloody seduction. Eisley and Sarah Dumon are among the coven of vampires who aid in Elizabeth’s quest, with Dichen Lachman as the vampire hunter aiming to take them down.

“It was so much better that we were friends already and had that connection,” added Suvari. “It was so natural and it allowed us to really bring it to where it is.”

Starring Adeline Rudolph, Nicholas Hamilton and Francesca Reale, Do Not Enter centers on a group of explorers searching for hidden treasure in an abandoned hotel. “We actually found this amazing place in Bulgaria, which was like this old, brutalist, cement (structure),” said Marc Klasfeld. Shooting in there made the experience rich and brought the hotel to life.”

Do Not Enter, which is based on the David Morrell book Creepers, also has a bit of adventure baked into the narrative. But simply put, Klasfeld wants viewers to just have fun with his film: “I think it’s really entertaining, and I think you can really turn your mind off and fall into the world for 90 some odd minutes and just have a really good time.”

Catch Do Not Enter in theaters, Digital and On Demand Friday, March 20.

Project Hail Mary, a sci-fi tale headlined by Ryan Gosling, hits theateres nationwide March 20. CinemAddicts host Eric Holmes drove over to his nearest Alamo Drafthouse (in Littleton) once he heard early showings were in the offing and he wasn’t disappointed. A huge fan of Andy Weir’s beloved 2021 novel, Holmes got co-host Bruce Purkey to read the novel and Purkey was also enthralled. As far as the movie goes, Holmes had a ton of great things to say, and it currently stands as one of his favorite films of 2026. Did he have a few nitpicks? Check out his full review below!

Eric Holmes’ review is a lengthy one, as he recounts meeting several strangers at the Alamo Drafthouse and making new friends in the process. Since the movie is hugely about the important friendship between Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) and the alien Rocky (a puppet operated by James Ortiz), it was a very synchronistic evening at the movies for Holmes.

“The movie is equal parts harrowing and funny,” said Holmes. “It’ll get you teared up and get you crying sometimes. (There will be) a couple of sad cries, but also a couple of happy cries. The ending (of the movie) is tweaked slightly (from the book). But I think (fans of the book) will like the certain tweak that is made. There were some thijngs that I wouldv’e liked to have seen from the book that weren’t there, but the book exists. I can read it again and I want to watch the movie a hundred more times.”

Corine Meijers Talks Immersive Virtual Reality Experiences of ‘Lacuna’ and ‘Lesbian Simulator’

Lesbian Simulator - Studio Biarritz

Lacuna and Lesbian Simulator are two projects that were part of the SXSW Immersive XR Spotlight Experience. Both of them were produced by Corine Meijers, and she talked about her passion for virtual reality and storytelling.

Lesbian Simulator – Studio Biarritz

“I’m one of the first (producers) in the Netherlands that worked on virtual reality experiences,” said Meijers. “And when artists want to make one, they often knock on my door and they ask me if they want to join their journey and realize their ambition for the project. I also do a lot of mentoring and coaching at talent development programs.”

These projects are not an overnight journey for Meijers and the filmmakers. Often it takes several years for these stories to complete, and Meijers likened the development project to making a feature film.

Meijers is also a cinephile who is passionate about storytelling, so her production output is diverse. “Not every project should be done in VR,” said Meijers. “It doesn’t make sense. You really have to think about what it means to be in a virtuality environment and a 360 degree space. Will you have a body in there or will you be a fly in the wall? Sometimes my projects are fiction, documentaries, and animation. But often it’s the experimental people that find me so in that sense it’s the weird stuff that comes (in my direction).”

More festival runs for Lacuna and Lesbian Simulator are planned. For further information and updates, check out Studio Biarritz.

Do Not Enter - Lionsgate

Do Not Enter is a supernatural horror film that centers on thrill seekers who live stream their adventures.

Actors Jake Manley and Francesca Reale talked about this upcoming feature which is based on the David Morrell book Creepers.

“I just love the combination of horror and adventure,” said Jake Manley. “It was something refreshing that I hadn’t seen done in the horror genre. I love ensemble movies with a big cast and an eclectic group of people. I thought it would be a fun story to explore. And I was right.”

Francesca Reale added that shooting in Bulgaria was “a dream.” “We had a great time,” said Reale. “We had such an incredible cast of people and we got to bond so quickly and create a nice family dynamic. When we weren’t actively on set acting scared, we were always trying to at least laugh and joke around and keep each other awake. Eighty percent of the film was shot on night shoots, so we wanted to make sure we were all still alive and well.”

Do Not Enter – Lionsgate

Manley also loved the collaborative spirit on the film, and he said that it is something that doesn’t happen on all sets. “When we got to Bulgaria, we sat down, read it, and everyone gave their thoughts,” added Manley. “We made adjustments to make the script stronger. I love doing that with all the other actors and I wish that was like more of a standard on some projects – that was really cool.”

Directed by Marc Klasfeld, Do Not Enter hits theaters, Digital and On Demand March 20.

Trailer: Keanu Reeves Embarks On Sorry Mission In Director Jonah Hill’s ‘Outcome’

Keanu Reeves and Jonah Hill in Outcome - Apple Original Films

Is there a way to make Keanu Reeves unlikable? The trailer to Outcome, an upcoming dark comedy directed by Jonah Hill, claims that Reef Hawk (Reeves) is a Hollywood star focused on making amends for the people he’s wronged. Reef’s mission, however, is also self-serving, as he is looking for the blackmailer could ruin his career (thanks to a damning video). The movie hits Apple TV on April 10. Check out the trailer and share your thoughts!

Read more: Trailer: Keanu Reeves Embarks On Sorry Mission In Director Jonah Hill’s ‘Outcome’

Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer co-star as Reef Hawk’s closest friends, and the movie also features Susan Lucci, Laverne Cox, David Spade, and Martin Scorsese. Co-written by Hill and Ezra Woods, Outcome’s biggest draw is Reeves’ own star power and likability. Will cinephiles want to see another film about a self-centered actor after last year’s Jay Kelly?

Outcome is the second movie that features Reeves and Diaz. They previously worked together not the 1996 picture Feeling Minnesota.

Hyperbole is a thing in reality competitions, but what if all that praise is well founded? The Voice: Battle of Champions’ Adam Levine praised the Battle Round performance between Mikenley Brown and Liv Ciara, claiming it was the best Battle he had ever witnessed. Plus, Kelly Clarkson used her Super Steal! All that for a stunning rendition of H.E.R.’s song “Focus.” Check out Brown and Ciara’s performance below!

“In my opinion, in the million seasons I’ve been on the show, that’s the best Battle Round I’ve ever heard,” said Adam Levine. “I’m not kidding.”

John Legend complimented Liv Ciara’s “range,” and if he was the coach, he would have picked her over Mikenley Brown. Legend, however, praised Brown’s “sultry” tone. Ultimately Kelly Clarkson chose Brown as the winner, leaving Levine and Legend to press their buzzers in an attempt to save Ciara.

That was all a bait and switch for Clarkson, as she let the boys fight over Ciara for a quick minute before throwing down the Super Steal.

As Legend pointed out, the harmonies created by Ciara and Brown were “silky smooth.” Watching these two distinct and different singers blend together to craft an insanley butterfly rendition of “Focus” was a thing to see. I’ve already watched this performance too many times to count, so maybe Levine wasn’t exaggerating!

Ciara auditioned for The Voice last season and didn’t get a chair turn, and Brown previously made it through to Hollywood on American Idol. It’s great to see both young singers persevere and shine during the performance.

Was this Battle Round performance between Liv Ciara and Mikenley Brown an all-timer? What did you think of Kelly Clarkson’s Super Steal? Feel free to share your thoughts/opinions in the comments! Catch The Voice: Battle of Champions Monday evenings at 9/8c (streaming the next day on Peacock).

The Voice: Battle of Champions (Griffin Nagel / NBC)

The Voice: Battle of Champions artist Jaali made it through the Blinds with her performance of the Jordin Sparks track “No Air.” Now a member of Team Adam, Jaali takes on Bijou Belle for The Battles. Catch Jaali tonight on The Voice: Battle of Champions at 9/8c (streaming on Peacock tomorrow). During our interview Jaali talked about how she previously auditioned for the program several years ago. No longer cleaning residences as the Singing Cleaner, Jaali is currently a substitute teacher and is also focused on coming out with an album this summer! Check out our full interview below!

 Although Jaali knew “No Air” inside and out, her anticipation hit a fever pitch 30 seconds before the performance. “I was very nervous. But even before I came through the doors and walked on the stage, I actually was quite calm and I had done my breathing,” said Jaali. “I was in a good head space. But as soon as they, announced that I had 30 seconds, then all the feelings just came. My heart started being fast.”

The good news is that both Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine turned their chair, and Jaali chose Levine as her coach.

THE VOICE — “The Battles Premiere” Episode 2904 — Pictured: Jaali Boyd — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC)

Jaali admits her path of pursuing a full time singing career hasn’t changed, but her time on The Voice: Battle of Champions was definitely not for nothing. “I just apprecate The Voice for more exposure,” said Jaali. I sing background and I sing in agency bands. I do my own solo stuff. I am preparing to release my own music, so I really just want this whole process to send my face out and my voice more. I think I was a little bit known before the show and now millions of people have seen me and heard me. That’ll be able to open up doors that maybe would have been still closed before.”
