Virtual Girlfriends Review: Hot Docs 2026
An aggressively accurate and bleak look at the OnlyFans industry that might be lucrative for a small few, but a majority of models struggle to make it work.

Virtual Girlfriends Review: Hot Docs 2026 - That Shelf Virtual Girlfriends is an aggressively accurate and bleak look at the OnlyFans industry, where a majority of models struggle to make it work.

Mortal Kombat II finally delivers the brutal, lore-heavy tournament movie fans have been waiting for, while making the franchise far more accessible to newcomers.

Shifting focus to iconic characters like Johnny Cage and Kitana, the sequel embraces the series’ gloriously campy fantasy roots with bone-crunching fights, over-the-top mythology, and plenty of crowd-pleasing fatalities. Director Simon McQuoid finds a much stronger balance between fan service and emotional stakes, giving the film more personality and a lot more fun.

While not a flawless victory, Mortal Kombat II levels up in nearly every way from its predecessor and proves this franchise may finally be finding its footing on the big screen.
