Read Our Review Michael Keaton in messy makeup is back. After nearly four decades, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is finally here to continue the beloved story originally directed by Tim Burton. The acclaimed director helmed this exciting legacy sequel, as the remaining Deetz family makes a surprise return to Winter River following a sudden tragedy. However, when the newest addition to the Deetz family, Astrid (Jenna Ortega), accidentally discovers a portal to the afterlife, the comical bio-exorcist...
Beetlejuice Is Beetle-Back
Though Beetlejuice Beetlejuice could never truly outshine its predecessor, its positive qualities make for a fun and engaging sequel with plenty of unexpected surprises. Michael Keaton slipped back into his familiar role like a glove. Jenna Ortega feels like a natural addition to Tim Burton's colorfully moody universe. Better yet, the screenwriting duo of Miles Millar and Alfred Gough (Wednesday, Into the Badlands, Shanghai Noon) make for a genuinely engaging story that thankfully doesn't out...

Read Our Review Neo-Westerns are always a visceral treat. The same can be said for The Thicket, a Western directed by Elliott Lester of Blitz and Nightingale fame. Based on the 2013 Joe R. Lansdale novel of the same name, The Thicket follows a man named Jack (Levon Hawke) as he attempts to rescue his sister Lula (Esmé Creed-Miles) from a vicious gang leader. He can't do it alone, however. Jack recruits the aid of a motley crew as they venture into The Big Thicket, where violence and crime run...
Tubi's Wild Western
A passion project for Peter Dinklage, who's been attached to the project since 2014, this intense Western melds thriller elements with an incredible cast and some breathtaking visuals. Even outside its intense production schedule and its distinctly wintry setting, there are plenty of other surprises to be found in The Thicket as well — the biggest arguably being the involvement of Metallica singer James Hetfield in the supporting cast, as well as Macon Blair of Blue Ruin and Green Room fame....

Read Our Review This 2022 drama has finally secured a wider theatrical release via the fine folks at Lionsgate. Continue, written and directed by Nadine Crocker, follows the journey of a young woman who is involuntarily institutionalized after she attempts to take her own life. However, during her time at the facility, she may come face to face with uplifting influences and newfound tragedies. Nadine Crocker stars in this film along with Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead, The Old Way), Lio Tipton (...
A Heart-Wrenching Story
Partially inspired by Crocker's own life story, Continue is a movie that doesn't shy away from its uncomfortable subject. In directly addressing it, however, what you get is a film that is refreshingly honest, presenting raw emotion and genuine impact without coming off as halfhearted or insincere. Nadine Crocker would later go on to direct Desperation Roadwith Mel Gibson, and while that film has its own positives, it pales in comparison to the rawness you'll find in this heart-wrenching story.

Read Our Review Coming off of her main role in Peacock's Bupkis, Edie Falco is back in the lead role of a charming indie comedy. I'll Be Right Thereputs Falco in the shoes of Wanda, a woman who just wants to tend to those in her inner circle. Unfortunately, when she spreads herself too thin between all her loved ones, she'll have to take a stand when it finally comes time to take care of herself. Jeannie Berlin, Bradley Whitford, Michael Beach, and Michael Rapaport co-star in this fun movie b...
Edie Falco Is an Icon
Capable of balancing drama and comedy in equal measure, Edie Falco leans heavily towards the latter in this charming story. Examinations of age dynamics, messy families, and the importance of self-care take center stage here. Interestingly, Brendan Walsh and Edie Falco previously collaborated during their mutual tenure on Nurse Jackie, and you can find glimpses of their incredible work together throughout this brief comedy. It's not necessarily an easy-viewing film, but it's one that's sure t...

A surprising international movie is hitting theaters this September, carrying with it a fascinating premise. The Mother of All Liesis a bold experiment, placing director Asmae El Moudir in a chilling documentary about family, trauma, and historical contexts. Moudir finds herself with an authentic recreation of her original neighborhood in Casablanca, all in an effort to uncover the truth behind her family's history with the help of her closest friends. The film took a total of eight years to...
An Intriguing Moroccan Documentary
The Mother of All Liessaw significant praise both domestically and internationally. It premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, where Moudir won the Best Director award in the Un Certain Regard category. Likewise, this film was selected as Morocco's entry for Best International Film at the 2024 Academy Awards, and it even entered the December shortlist among what would become the official nominees.

Read Our Review Zoë Kravitz (Big Little Lies, The Batman) has made her exciting directorial debut with a chilling psychological thriller. Blink Twicefollows what happens when an ordinary cocktail waitress, Frida (Naomi Ackie), finds herself entangled with a mysterious billionaire (Channing Tatum), leading to a surprise invitation to a private island party. Unfortunately, sometime after Frida's friend goes missing, a series of nightmarish reveals will unveil her eventual fate. Christian Slater...
Be Careful Not to Blink
Aside from marking a rare villainous role from Channing Tatum, Blink Twice is as unsettling as it is overwhelming. Naomi Ackie's career has been comprised of straightforward dramas so far, but it's this experience that lends her lead role the kind of authenticity that's needed for a convincing performance. Likewise, Kravitz let her writing skills shine, as she co-authored the screenplay with E.T. Feigenbaum (High Fidelity). This movie is the perfect pick if you're aching for a "killer" island...

Read Our Review JT Mollner, whose previous films include the likes of 2016's Outlaws and Angels, has come back with a legitimately shocking horror-thriller that's sure to impress. Strange Darling pairs Willa Fitzgerald (The Fall of the House of Usher, Little Women) with Kyle Gallner (Smile, Jennifer's Body) in a one-night stand gone terribly awry. The night quickly turns into something foul as a ferocious serial killer begins a prolonged and perverse murder spree. Barbara Hershey and Ed Begle...
Kyle Gallner Plays a Menacing Killer
In combining a pair of unexpected actors with a thrilling premise and cinematography by Giovanni Ribisi (Saving Private Ryan, Ted), you get what will likely be one of the most understated yet poignant films of the year. Strange Darling is seen as a significant improvement over JT Mollner's previous films, and given its highly-saturated presentation and R-rating, you can expect an equally terrifying and engaging film that'll leave you breathless. If you've ever wanted to see Kyle Gallner in a...

Read Our Review The life of a criminal is never easy. Neither is the life of a criminal spouse. Catching Dustpairs these two conflicting personalities in the middle of Texas' Big Bend, leaving Geena (Erin Moriarty) to plot her eventual escape from her troublesome relationship. However, when a traveling couple from New York opts to shack up with the duo for a brief time, Geena will discover that their southern hospitality may be their undoing. Jai Courtney, Dina Shihabi, and Ryan Corr co-star...
Catching Positive Reviews
Equal parts tense and contemplative, Catching Dust is director Stuart Gatt's feature-length debut. And what a way to kick things off. Jai Courtney and Erin Moriarty create a compelling if not combative duo on-screen, melding what feels like an authentic stage dramawith a tense character study and themes of guilt. It's a film whose themes are intricately woven into its tense plot progression and isolated setting, doubling this feeling of isolation with a cast of only four actors. While some ma...

Read Our Review While nothing can hold a candle to the original 1994 classic, 2024's The Crow makes a special effort to adapt the source material the original film is famously based on. Rupert Sanders (Ghost in the Shell) directed this reimagining of the titular gothic superhero story, placing Bill Skarsgard in the title roleas Eric Draven. Once an ordinary musician, Draven is unfortunately cut down in his prime along with the love of his life, Shelly (FKA Twigs). However, when he's given an...
A Bold Reimagining
Take The Crow as a supplement to the original source material, not a replacement. While it's impossible to thoroughly replicate the exact energy that the late Brandon Lee brought to the title role, Skarsgard does an amicable job of providing his own interpretation of everyone's favorite gothic avenger. Likewise, the score provided by Volker Bertelmann (who won an Academy Award for his work on All Quiet on the Western Front) makes for a thrilling accompaniment to the action on-screen.

Read Our Review If you enjoyed director Fede Álvarez's work with the Evil Dead franchise, you'll love his take on Alien. Alien: Romulus is a surprising return to form, making up the seventh feature-length installment in one of the most successful science fiction horror franchises in history. The film itself takes place between Alien and Aliens, with a disconnected group of space scavengers investigating the wreckage of the USCSS Nostromo. Unfortunately, what they'll find in the confines of th...
The Best Alien Movie in Years
Fede Álvarez's track record when it comes to horror is almost impeccable, with a similar level of quality being found within Alien: Romulus. Here, the titular Alien isn't so much a prop as it is a horrifying monster, returning the series to its claustrophobic roots instead of leaning into absurdity. A refreshing return to primarily practical effects, a fantastic cast, and a loving level of fan service for longtime Alien fans makes for one of the best Alien movies in years. If you don't believ...
