From our review:

Like other films in the mean schoolgirl subgenre, take revenge It focuses on complex social conspiracies and vicious popular factions. But it’s not derivative or cliche. Instead, this is the natural evolution of his 2022 film of this type. Some parts of high school are constant, but youth culture evolves so quickly that teen movies, especially older ones, are adapted and respected. Materials — the risk of feeling obsolete. take revenge Dodge the curse because of the way Robinson and co-writer Celeste Ballard cleverly update certain plot points.

From our review:

There are movies that change the nature of the air you breathe after you watch them, such as the motifs in the score looping in your head, or the colors of the world outside the theater not quite matching what you see on the screen. 3,000 years of longing is one of those movies, a story about stories — a complex genre that tends to be self-important — that isn’t just concerned with magic as a brooding, unifying force. they are stronger than that. It’s more dangerous than that. And a more satisfying way to explore this is trying to guess how this ends than watching two people who believe they know everything there is to know about the story. .

BJ Novak brings the podcast-style mystery to the big screen in his directorial debut, starring a New York-based journalist who travels to Texas to investigate a disappearance.

From our review:

The film regularly reminds audiences that, yes, guns and fast food are a major part of American life for the Texas crowd. The fact that it has adds another layer — as does the fact that he’s engaged in it anyway. But those extra layers don’t necessarily enrich the movie-watching experience. . Final, revenge It starts to feel a bit like an inflated meme that tracks the pipeline from gifted kid to endangered homicide detective.

From our review:

When the English remake was announced good night momthe biggest looming question was whether the new film would end up as hard and nihilistic as the original. It doesn’t really work as a movie in and of itself.

The new version stars Naomi Watts as the famous mom. ring When funny game Under her belt, Watts might have seemed like an easy choice for the lead in yet another American reboot of the international horror hit. It is not due to The only problem is the script and direction.

Hiroyasu Ishida’s (penguin highway) latest anime feature drift home Childhood friends Kousuke and Natsume visit the apartment building they used to live in before it was demolished, and are transported to another dimension surrounded by the vast ocean. The two of them, left behind by a mutual friend, must work together to find a way out of this strange world and back to where they came from.

From our review:

Ikemen animation production by Studio Colorido (penguin highway, whisker away) does a lot to sell its outlandish premise. Structures move and break with incredible weight, while the driving action is about buildings floating on the sea like rafts. Akihiro Nagae’s designs remain realistic even when presented to children as fantastical. Photorealistic background art contrasts modernity with mid-century post-war architecture, but Ishida’s direction is not obsessed with realism. It never contradicts the film’s sense of crisis when the director utilizes broad and sometimes springy physical comedy in the character’s interactions with these environments: Use to reach the adjacent floating building and smash through the tin.Bounce onto the building like a pinball.

A reboot of the 1980s comedy series stars Jon Hamm as Chevy Chase as a witty comedy detective.

From our review:

The way Hamm’s series revival has received a middling dual release in some theaters and VOD suggests just how low Miramax’s faith in the project is. I’m saying It’s fast and funny – the sort of comedy that adult moviegoers have seen far more often than it does today, comedies falling out of favor in the cinematic world devoted to Liam his Neeson his style of revenge movies. but confession, fletch The use of comedy is refreshing, as is the use of Jon Hamm.
