No, it’s only been twenty-two years since the zombie-esque horror film came out in 2003, but that’s fine. Original director Danny Boyle and original screenwriter Alex Garland, after letting other folks handle 2007’s 28 WEEKS LATER, are back with this third installment in the series. Onscreen, it has indeed been twenty-eight […]Read On »

A HARD PLACE | ©2025 50 Caliber Productions

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Felissa Rose, Lynn Lowry, Rachel Amanda Bryant, Kevin Caliber, Jennifer Stone, Ashley Undercuffler, Scott Alan Ward, Miranda Bourke, Steven Morris, Natalia Santacoloma, Holly Rockwell, Sadie Katz Writers: Michael J. Preston & J. Horton Director: J. Horton Distributor: 50 Caliber Productions Release Date: May 27, 2025 (VOD) Once upon a time, there were movie theatres that resembled blind grab bags. We knew very broadly going in whether something was horror or action or sexploitation, but mostly, we’d never heard of the specific films playing before we saw the posters in the marquees. The movies were usually made […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Olivia Macklin, Dylan McTee, Avangeline Friedlander, Lily D. Moore, Shawnee Smith, Morgana Shaw, Phuong Kubacki Writer: Paul Etheredge Director: Paul Etheredge Distributor: Quiver Distribution Release Date: June 13, 2025 There is a lot happening in THE OTHER, a supernatural drama that grows more alarming by the scene. Parsing its themes could take up an entire college course. Among its intriguing suggestions is that perhaps racism is caused by malevolent inhuman spirits. Nice white married couple Robyn (Olivia Macklin), who is in the construction business, and Daniel (Dylan McTee), an elementary school teacher, arrive together at a […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Zoe Winters, Marin Ireland Writer: Celine Song Director: Celine Song Distributor: A24 Release Date: June 13, 2025 A lot of romantic comedies give the whole genre a bad name (at least in the opinion of some people) by throwing together two people who are so awful to each other at the start that we wouldn’t want to get into an elevator, much less a relationship, with either one. Not so MATERIALISTS, which presents us with three delightful leads, who treat one another in ways that make us root for something to […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Al Pacino, Dan Stevens, Ashley Greene, Abigail Cowen, Patricia Heaton, Patrick Fabian Writer: David Midell, story by Enrico Natale & David Midell Director: David Midell Distributor: XYZ Films Release Date: June 6, 2025 THE RITUAL begins with this statement: “The following is based on true events. The events depicted were transcribed by Father Joseph Steiger. This story represents the most thoroughly documented case of demonic possession in American history.” This may well be true, but it’s a situation where documentation doesn’t equal credibility. As exorcism stories go, THE RITUAL has the basics, but lacks not only […]Read On »

Interior monologues, for example, are usually best on the page, whereas dancing is generally better seen than described. This works to the advantage […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Hassie Harrison, Jai Courtney, Josh Heuston, Ella Newton, Rob Carlton, Liam Greinke Writer: Nick Lepard Director: Sean Byrne Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: June 6, 2025 (theatrical) There are now enough criminals-obsessed-with-sharks movies for these to qualify as a moderately well-populated subgenre. DANGEROUS ANIMALS emerges at the top of this particular food chain – and even if it were just a serial killer movie, it would still be good. We are introduced to Tucker’s Encounters battered but functioning dive cage boat, moored off a beach on the Australian Gold Coast, the big city in the background. Heather (Ella […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Norman Reedus, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Ava Joyce McCarthy, Juliet Doherty, Sharon Duncan-Brewster Writer: Shay Hatten, based on characters created by Derek Kolstad Director: Len Wiseman Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: June 6, 2025 “From the world of John Wick” is featured prominently in the advertising for BALLERINA. Since Keanu Reeves is listed in the cast, one might first assume this phrase simply indicates that Reeves will show up as John Wick, which he does. However, this turns out to mean something more. Whether we’ve contemplated […]Read On »
