Violent Night
Violent Night combines humor, blood, guns, and a Christmas miracle or two and wraps them all up with a neat and shiny bow.
Darby and The Dead
Darby and the Dead offers some serious moments wrapped in a light-hearted hard candy shell
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
While Boseman’s absence is definitely felt, most of the incredibly talented cast from the first film returns elevating the level of acting throughout the film.
The Banshees of Inisherin
Farrell and Gleason both deserve Oscar Nominations and Searchlight Pictures obviously set the release date for the movie to be considered in multiple categories.
Wendell & Wild
Director Henry Selick is no stranger to stop-motion animation and his distinct style can be seen throughout the movie.
My Policeman
Dawson however is magnificent, exuding Patrick’s strength, intelligence, passion, tenderness, etc. even as he lives in fear of being arrested.
Ticket To Paradise
Ticket to Paradise isn’t going to win any awards but as pure, indulgent entertainment it checks all the boxes.
