All the President's Men
Well shot, beautifully written and incredibly acted, All the President's Men offers the trifecta of excellence in filmmaking.
Ben-Hur
An epic three-and-a-half-hour saga that exceeded expectations and became one of the most celebrated films in Academy Awards history
Rental Family
Brendan Fraser gives the film the heart it needs in this feel good story about connection and belonging.
Sisu: Road to Revenge
For those who liked the extreme action, very bloody deaths, and massive explosions, this sequel follows its predecessor while ramping everything up.
Keeper
Osgood Perkins' Keeper delivers striking visuals and a strong lead performance, but an underdeveloped story and weak character work derail the film.
Dante's Peak
An uneven but watchable disaster film that leans more on spectacle than strong storytelling.
One Battle After Another
A gripping, character-driven epic that proves Paul Thomas Anderson remains one of cinema's most uncompromising storytellers.
Bugonia
Bugonia is a sharply acted, darkly absurd sci-fi satire that lets Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons shine under Yorgos Lanthimos' eccentric direction.
Black Phone 2
Scarier and more sinister than the first, The Black Phone 2 deepens its characters and delivers a stronger, more confident sequel.
