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.
Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die Is a Bold,...
Bold, original and refreshingly weird, Verbinski's latest is a sci-fi comedy that actually has something to say.
Wuthering Heights
Visually striking and passionately performed, but its modern excess dilutes Brontë's tragic romance.
Dracula
A dark and visually striking take on Dracula that leans into horror while honoring the myth.
Keeper
Osgood Perkins' Keeper delivers striking visuals and a strong lead performance, but an underdeveloped story and weak character work derail the film.
Disneyland Handcrafted
An intimate and lovingly assembled documentary that brings Walt Disney's original dream to life.
Shelter
A familiar but effective action thriller, Shelter lets Jason Statham lean into grit, restraint, and tightly choreographed combat.
Dante's Peak
An uneven but watchable disaster film that leans more on spectacle than strong storytelling.
