Taxi Driver: Limited Edition Steelbook
Anchored by De Niro's chilling performance, it is easy to see why it ranks in the top 100 films of all time.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
If you love Axel Foley, Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop, and its soundtrack, you will enjoy this latest installment.
Kinds of Kindness
Lanthimos can be hit or miss; when he's on, we get gems like The Favourite and Poor Things, but his more bizarre creations can lose the audience's interest.
A Quiet Place: Day One
As the third movie in a franchise, it brings something new, but how often can we watch the deafening silence before it gets old?
Purple Rain
Prince was always a showman and Purple Rain brought that side of him to a whole new level.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Parker and Stone have made a career out of being decent animators, decent writers, and equal-opportunity offenders.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
As per usual with a Ritchie film, there is plenty of action, including some well-shot explosions, plus a decent plot.
Thelma
Thelma balances humor and vulnerability, offering an insightful view of senior struggles. Margolin's direction blends honesty and well-placed humor seamlessly.
