Samsung’s Galaxy J7+ ad will give you all the feels

The Samsung J7+ has just launched in the Philippines and with that comes a marketing campaign that pulls right at your heartstrings.

The video starts with a couple who seem like they’re in a pretty sad situation…

But first scene in, we say hi to this cutie pie and his adorable antics.

The video progresses to happier — and most definitely cuter — times but, well, we’ll leave you to watch the video to see what happens next. (Consider this your first warning, so get your box of tissues ready!)

Props to Samsung Philippines for the heartfelt video, but more props for knowing their audience. They tell me that the concept for the video was the product of customer insight — knowing that millennial pet parents love taking photos of their fur babies; a fact that should come as no surprise as studies have pointed to this generation as one that would rather own pets than have children or buy houses so that their pets live more comfortable lives. (Don’t believe me? Find a friend with a pet and check their camera roll ?)

And, since rear cameras (as opposed to front-facing selfie cameras) are better used to capture fantastic scenes like (ding ding ding!) your pet dog’s wonderful everyday life, Samsung Philippines thought it would be a good idea to demonstrate the capabilities of their newest dual-camera smartphone through a heartfelt video.

The nameless retriever that stole the show in the video was actually played by two beautiful dogs: Tony who is seven years old and Cú who’s eight months old.

Dog parents Cybele and Camille, who own the two dogs, were at the frontlines while their babies dazzled the cameras. Dog trainer extraordinaire Brad Feliciano was also on scene all throughout.

The film is directed by Joel Limchoc who also shot that tearjerker video ad from Globe.

You can watch the whole video here. Again, fair warning, especially to fur parents, there will be tears — lots of them.

In cinemas in 2026, Street Fighter is set in 1993, where estranged fighters Ryu and Ken Masters are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior tournament.

Behind the brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face oof against each other — and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s game over.

The Paramount Pictures and Legendary Pictures film is directed by Kitao Sakurai. Executive producers are JJ Hook, Jay Ashenfelter, Kenzo Tsujimoto, and Haruhiro Tsujimoto.

Also starring in the film are Hirooki Goto (E. Honda), Alexander Volkanovski (Joe), Kyle Mooney (Marvin), and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Balrog).

The film will be the third live-action film adaptation of the Capcom video game series. It also serves as a reboot of the film series.

Supergirl gets its first teaser trailer

Milly Alcock stars as the titular character.

Before the new year starts, it’s already fair to assume that Supergirl might be one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Premiering a year after the globally successful Superman, Supergirl will see the adventures of Clark Kent’s superpowered cousin, Kara Zor-El. Now, the next film in the sage finally has a teaser trailer.

As James Gunn mentioned previously, Supergirl will be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Off traveling to other planets to party, Kara finds herself thrust back into the role of being a hero after a young girl named Ruthye Mary Knoll asks her for help.

Though the teaser trailer is mostly a montage of scenes, we already know what we can expect. According to Gunn, Supergirl will be tonally different from Superman, and we see this in the trailer.

However, we can still see influences from Gunn including the usage of “Call Me” by Blondie for the trailer. Also, the film’s space scenes look like they can fit right in with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Still, that’s what we have, and we’re excited. Supergirl will premiere on June 26, 2026.

The film will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella). Milly Alcock plays the titular character. Meanwhile, she will star alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knoll.
