General Hospital spoilers for February 9th through the 13th suggest Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is going absolutely insane and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) freaking out about something really important.

As we always do on the early edition, we’re going to start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then dive into what is coming next week. There is huge stuff on the horizon.

General Hospital Spoilers: Michael Could Lose

On Wednesday, February 4th, Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is in a position where he knows he needs to cut a favorable deal with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) on custody before DA Jacinda charges him with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison)’s shooting. If he waits and that happens, Michael could lose the kids completely. He needs to move while he still has the upper hand to try and make something happen.

At Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn)’s office, Willow tells Michael that she hasn’t agreed to anything yet. She knows what is coming down the pike for him because she is trying to frame him. Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) is there representing Michael, while Alexis represents Willow. Alexis is pushing hard to get Willow at least some custody and visitation so she can keep accessing Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante). Sonny wants Ric to make this deal happen because he doesn’t want Willow cut out of the kids’ lives, but Michael is being very stubborn.

Anna Devane’s Mental Health Crisis and the Faison Conspiracy

Anna begs Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) to get her out of there so she can stop Cesar Faison (Anders Hove). So, Anna is being held over in France, and Felicia, Emma, and Mac Scorpio (John J. York) head over there to see what to do. It looks like they want to stash her somewhere because Anna is talking like a crazy person.

Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), Pascal (Mark Forget), and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) gaslit Anna. It appears they knocked her out and transported her to France, which explains why Pascal left Port Charles to go to France. Anna has no idea she was ever held captive at Wyndemere. And she seems completely unhinged.

Felicia may struggle to believe that Faison is alive. It would be a nightmare for her if it were true. It looks like Sidwell and Cullum want Anna written off as a crazy person making conspiracy theory claims to destroy her reputation and get her out of their way. Mac, Emma, and Felicia are all going to try to get Anna calmed down, get her released. And bring her back home to Port Charles.

Sonny and Jason Plot Against Sidwell While Romance Blooms on GH

Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sonny are working on a strategy against Sidwell. Sonny tells Jason that the more they know, the easier it will be to take him out. They have to get that photo proof. They know that this guy isn’t just a problem for Sonny and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis), but also the source of the problem for Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is digging for dirt. And it may be on Cullum. Meanwhile, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) opens up to Laura. She is going to tell her about the Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) kiss and that she has feelings for him. Laura will tell Lulu she might actually have fewer obstacles with Nathan than she thinks.

Laura may point out that Nathan has been gone from Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms)’s life for seven years through nobody’s fault other than Faison. Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) is currently the man in Maxie’s life. And Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) is not in Lulu’s life romantically either. Nathan eventually goes and confesses to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), telling her he has feelings for Lulu.

Nina also has face time with Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). And we’ll see if she tells her about Nathan and Lulu. She may also vent about Willow and her toxic attitude regarding Michael. Meanwhile, Drew is discharged from General Hospital. He is sent home with Willow, who has a hospital bed set up in the living room for him. It looks extremely tense.

General Hospital Spoilers: Custody Battles and Danger for Drew Cain

On Thursday, February 5th, Michael gives Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) and Sonny an update on the custody mediation. Willow is ready to crush Michael, so it will be interesting to see if compromise is even possible or if Willow is going to get greedy and want everything.

Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) needs some help from Alexis. He may want divorce papers drawn up or may want to force Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) to get a DNA test. Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) loses his temper, which may lead to another argument with Michael if he hears Michael isn’t willing to compromise on visitation. Many people don’t know what Michael knows regarding what Willow was doing to Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) and Daisy, which is a big reason driving his current decisions.

Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) explains himself to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). And Drew is completely shocked. I am wondering if Kai is going to go over to the house, check on Drew. And tell him that Willow was the one who shot him. Drew has locked-in syndrome and is helpless, so Kai may be concerned. Even though Drew is a bad guy, he is at risk from the woman who tried to kill him before.

General Hospital Spoilers for February Sweeps and Valentine’s Day

On Friday, February 6th, Britt gives a little pushback, possibly to Cullum. She needs another dose of her meds to give to Jason to get them reverse-engineered. Michael lets Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) in on a few things bothering him, including the PCPD interrogation and his concerns about the shooting charges and the custody case.

The following week, February 9th through the 13th, we are midway into February Sweeps. We’re going to see Portia and her DNA test results coming soon. I’m dying to know if it’s going to be Curtis or Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson). Sonny doubles down on his plan to protect Michael, and he and Jason continue their plot to take down Sidwell.

Drew is worried about what Willow may do to him. I expect him to recover from his locked-in state but then hide it from her, which would be a very General Hospital thing to do. Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) is going to be livid that Josslyn put herself on Cullum’s radar, which is exactly what Jack didn’t want for her.

Britt is going to spend Valentine’s Day with Jason. They’re going to get a little romantic, but they’ll have to do it on the sly. Ric takes Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) out on a date soon. And there is supposed to be a major development for them. Willow continues pushing for more access to her kids while trying to get Michael in the crosshairs of the PCPD.

Sidwell gets an ultimatum from Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring)—likely a “me or Ava Jerome (Maura West)” choice. Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis make more time for romance. Nathan and Lulu find it hard to stay away from each other. And we may see more heat between them. Very importantly, Maxie wakes up. We’ll see how long it takes until someone tells her that Nathan is back from the dead. That information will likely be withheld until she is stable.

Chrisean Rock Reacts To Zenith Zion Saying She’s Going To Kick Her Butt In The Boxing Ring

On Tuesday, February 3, Instagram user @livebitez posted footage from what appeared to be a recent livestream showing Chrisean Rock with her boxing coordinators. Furthermore, in one clip, Rock tells viewers that she has “a lot of pain and anger” inside her, so the match “should be cool to watch.” Meanwhile, another clip showed what appeared to be the moment when Rock was informed that her opponent was Zenith Zion.

“Who that?” Rock says initially, staring at a phone screen. “What’s her name?”

As Rock started scrolling on the phone, the coordinators told her that she could do her “homework” later. But one then asked, “What’s going through your mind right now?”

“So how long is the fight? And how many minutes in the ring?” Rock asked, pounding her fist.

Furthermore, another clip showed Rock watching a video where Zion shared a direct message for her, saying, “Be prepared, Chrisean. ‘Cause I’m coming to kick your ass.”

“Oh, that’s who that is,” Rock says in reaction. “How is she already talking stuff? We don’t know each other like that.”

I can finally end my search for an action adventure thriller set entirely in a hot air balloon after watching 2019’s The Aeronauts. While we can get into the nitty gritty about how it’s “based on true events,” as depicted in the 2013 Richard Holmes book Falling Upwards: How We Took to the Air, anybody with access to Wikipedia can do that. Instead, let’s talk about the film itself. Since we’re ultimately dealing with a fictional piece of cinema inspired by multiple real-life balloon ascents, it’s all but expected that creative liberties are taken, and composite characters are stitched together from their historical counterparts for the sake of a cleaner, more dramatic story.

The Aeronauts, like most films that carry the biographical label, is no exception. As long as you’re not treating it like a history lesson, it’s well worth your time for the visuals and sheer level of suspense alone. I never thought a movie about a giant balloon could be this intense, but here we are, watching two deeply committed people float through the troposphere without even packing proper winter coats.

Floating High And Above

Set in 1862 London, The Aeronauts centers on scientist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) and balloon pilot Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones). James believes that ascending to unprecedented heights will allow him to study atmospheric patterns in a way that could eventually make weather prediction possible. When the Royal Society refuses to take him seriously enough to fund the project, he turns to Amelia, whose skill and nerve make the entire expedition feasible. Through a series of flashbacks, we learn about the political resistance and personal motivations surrounding the journey, but that groundwork is not the main reason you’re here.

The real spectacle unfolds once James and Amelia leave the ground, rising beyond 30,000 feet and shattering the standing record for balloon travel. Completely devoted to his research, James pushes forward as Amelia repeatedly urges him to descend. Awestruck by the vast skyscape around them, James loses track of the balloon’s physical limitations and just how drastically the temperature has dropped while he continues taking notes and running tests.

When it becomes clear they’ve gone far too high for their own good, Amelia takes decisive action after recognizing the signs of James’ worsening hypoxia. That plan immediately falls apart when she realizes the gas release valve at the top of the balloon has frozen shut. Reduced to a speck drifting through the sky, Amelia braves brutal conditions in her attempts to bring both of them back to land. The elements are not on her side, and she soon begins suffering from frostbite as well. With their lives and James’ research hanging in the balance, every split-second decision carries real consequences, and the margin for error disappears fast.

Stunning Cinematography All Around 

While the flashback sequences in The Aeronauts are necessary for context, they lean into familiar tropes tied to dangerous missions. Both characters are haunted by their pasts and repeatedly revisit traumatic moments while grappling with their present situation. If I’m being completely honest, I have a hard time taking people in top hats seriously, so these scenes occasionally play as unintentionally funny for me. I fully recognize that I might be a sample size of one here, and your mileage may vary.

What truly impressed me were the sequences that take place inside and around the balloon itself. The horizon, the clouds, and even butterflies drifting through air currents at what were once unheard-of altitudes are the real draw of The Aeronauts. Ice crystallizing across the balloon as Amelia struggles with the frozen gas valve, along with wide shots that emphasize how small she and James are against the open sky, are genuinely striking. The storms that threaten to consume them as they push higher in the name of science add another layer of tension, made all the more effective by how grounded and tactile everything looks.

It’s safe to assume The Aeronauts received a healthy dose of VFX in post-production, but it’s difficult to spot while watching. The visuals feel real and cohesive, creative liberties with characterization aside, and the result is an immersive experience even from your couch. If you’re looking to challenge your fear of heights, or you’re simply in the mood for historical fiction that focuses on discovery rather than warfare, you can stream The Aeronauts on Prime Video as of this writing.

If you love Yellowstone and Kevin Costner, then you may just love this Western drama that’s currently trending on Netflix.

Released in 1994, Wyatt Earp stars Costner as the eponymous, real-life lawman who would go on to be involved in the O.K. Corral gunfight in 1881. The movie is a biographical epic of Earp’s life.

The film features a terrific ensemble cast that includes the late Catherine O’Hara, and while it received mixed reviews from critics at the time, it’s found more favor with fans over time.

Watch With Us breaks down why Wyatt Earp deserves its spot in the Netflix Top 10.

‘Wyatt Earp’ Chronicles the Life of a Fascinating Real-Life Figure

Wyatt Earp takes an in-depth look at Earp’s life from his teenage years during the Civil War, living on his family’s farm in Iowa, to becoming a lawman in towns like Wichita and Dodge City in Kansas and Tombstone, Arizona. From a young age, Earp is taught that only two things really matter in life: family and the law. Thus, Earp is flanked by his brothers James (David Andrews), Morgan (Linden Ashby) and Virgil (Michael Madsen), in addition to friend Doc Holliday (Dennis Quaid), in their eventual confrontation with outlaws at the climactic O.K. Corral, involving the Clanton and McLaury gangs.

As opposed to taking a more mythical or fantastical approach to this real-life material, director Lawrence Kasdan and co-writer Dan Gordon instead give Earp’s life a grittier, more realistic feel in addition to being a psychological portrait of the famous lawman. Rather than being a simple action epic, Wyatt Earp is far more interested in details and nuance, and the internal burden that Earp carries throughout his life — which includes a violent, dark side to Earp’s character.

The Long Runtime Gives Earp’s Life the Richness It Deserves

While some biographical films attempt to sum up a celebrity or important historical figure in just one or two short hours, Wyatt Earp gives its subject the courtesy of a more than three-hour film. Because of this ample runtime, more care is given to the historical detail and accuracy, giving way to more comprehensive storytelling. We’re given this excess time with Earp’s life from adolescence through middle age, and it allows for a deeper understanding of his psychology and his evolution of self, leading up to the major historical event that everyone knows him for.

Thus, far from a fast-paced epic, Wyatt Earp is a slow-burn character study with a Western setting that feels authentic instead of romanticized. Earp’s character arc is incredibly thorough, and the approach to depicting his character even has something of a documentary feel to it. While the slow pacing and occasionally disorganized narrative may turn some people off, those who enjoy biographical films that are concerned with the facts in addition to telling a compelling story will appreciate the lengths that Wyatt Earp goes to achieve this.

‘Wyatt Earp’ Is Character-Driven With a Strong Supporting Cast

While a movie like Tombstone — also about Wyatt Earp and the O.K. Corral — is more centered on the immediate lead-up to and action of the conflict at the O.K. Corral, Wyatt Earp gives a deeper focus to its sprawling cast of characters covering multiple eras of Earp’s life. For instance, Gene Hackman gives a terrific performance as Nicholas Earp, Wyatt’s stern and influential father, while Quaid infuses Doc Holliday with a vulnerability that rings true to the character.

In contrast to Tombstone and Kurt Russell‘s charisma-driven portrayal of Earp, Wyatt Earp finds strength in Costner’s more reserved depiction, more suited for a biopic approach. But besides Costner, the cast of Wyatt Earp is ridiculously stacked. The rest of the supporting cast includes the always-great O’Hara, who portrays Allie Earp, in addition to Bill Pullman, Mark Harmon, Isabella Rossellini, Tom Sizemore and Adam Baldwin.

One of the common pitfalls post-apocalyptic thrillers run into is trying to do too much at once, because there are a lot of angles to consider. The Mad Max franchise works because there is dense, folklore-driven worldbuilding that we’re made aware of as a smaller group of people navigate the wasteland looking for answers. The 28 Days Later films handle this well too. We’re briefed on what’s happening globally, and then things are handled locally.

2025’s Uncontained, despite the fact that it has a lot going for it, struggles with this balance. The result is a tonally inconsistent film that I wish stuck the landing better, because the potential is clearly there.

Found Family During End Times

Billed as a zombie horror drama, Uncontained tells a much more personal story through the eyes of Dan (portrayed by writer director Morley Nelson). Dan is a drifter who appears to be immune to the zombie virus that has decimated society, and he eventually happens upon a smart house occupied by two children, Jack (Jack Nelson) and Brooke (Brooke Nelson).

Their mother, simply billed as The Woman (Nicole Nelson), works for Homeland Security and is desperately searching for a cure, because Jack carries a latent version of the infection.

Dan, initially just looking for shelter, slowly becomes a surrogate father figure for Jack and Brooke. The Woman is also glad to have him around, mostly because he’s able to clock an intimidating amount of time on the treadmill that doubles as a power source for the house.

Jack handcuffs himself to the bed before going to bed, because he occasionally turns into a bloodthirsty zombie in his sleep and needs to wait out his episodes so he doesn’t harm his family. He also sets elaborate snare traps in the backyard and spends his time studying captured zombies, which initially disgusts Dan, who doesn’t yet realize that he and Jack have more in common than either of them would like to admit.

The B Story

Meanwhile, Uncontained introduces additional conflict in the form of militia leader Brett Carson (Peter O’Meara), who refuses to leave the property because he’s searching for his missing daughter, Melanie (Courtney Blythe Turk). This entire plot line feels largely unnecessary, as it neither helps nor meaningfully disrupts the dynamic inside the house that Dan and the family are occupying.

The limited value these scenes provide comes mostly from comic relief, particularly when Brett talks shop with a police officer who grows more visibly concerned with each passing exchange, as if silently thinking, “dude, you need to go home before you get killed.”

Speaking of comic relief, Uncontained earns genuine points for the dynamic it establishes between Dan, Jack, and Brooke, and The Woman. Dan has a gruff exterior and doesn’t look like the kind of guy who enjoys screwing around. But the moment Brooke offers him her hair clips, he immediately takes her up on it just to be kind. These subtle moments are both funny and disarming, and they say a lot about Dan’s character. The world is effectively ending, and nobody is obligated to be pleasant if they don’t want to be.

Uncontained ultimately leaves a lot on the table, and it’s because it tries to think globally and locally at the same time. Had the film committed to being a bottle story focused on the house and its occupants, I think it would have landed more cleanly. It simply tries to do too much at once, when the initial survival story is already compelling on its own. The moments I enjoyed most came directly from this central dynamic. The idea that an infected child could be the key to a cure while the family battens down the hatches and rides out the proverbial storm is strong enough without a side story pulling attention away from it.

Uncontained is streaming for free on Tubi.
