ORLANDO, FL — Free Press sports writer Tony Garcia grades Michigan football after the No. 17 Wolverines fell to No. 14 Texas 41-27 in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl to end the 2025 season.Offense: B-The offense was moving the ball well until it got bit by the turnover bug late.

The tech industry moves so fast that it’s hard to keep up with just how much has happened this year. We’ve watched as the tech elite enmeshed themselves in the U.S. government, AI companies sparred for dominance, and futuristic tech like smart glasses and robotaxis became a bit more tangible outside of the San Francisco bubble.

The new year is almost here, and before we start thinking about Star Wars, The Avengers, or Christopher Nolan, let’s slow things down a bit. While the rest of 2026 is obviously loaded with very exciting, very big movies, the next three months have some pretty interesting, intriguing, and highly anticipated films too.

Below are our 10 most anticipated genre films releasing from January through the end of March. 10. Night Patrol (January 16) Justin Long, Jermaine Fowler, CM Punk, and more star as Los Angeles…
