The Strangers: Chapter 3
(2026)
|
Lane Mills
|
Unless you’re a massive fan of the first two movies - if such a person exists - you can safely avoid this one and hope that, if this property is rebooted again in the future, it sticks to what made it scary and worth doing in the first place.

The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo
(2025)
|
Jaylan Salah
|
This feature is tense, gripping, poetic, and flamboyant, like the dark passenger to Pedro Almodóvar’s queerverse. It’s not one we are used to watching, now with more positive, thankfully, queer narratives dominating the movie scene.

How to Make a Killing

How to Make a Killing may not be an ambitious new take on the "eat the rich" satire, but it is still a decently entertaining time.

This Is Not a Test
(2025)
|
Phil Walsh
|
The zombie elements are almost tangential to the human story in the film, and that's what elevates the movie. It is not only frightening but also has something to say that is both affirming and uplifting.

While The Moment has its lulls within the script, Zamiri keeps audiences engaged with a pop star’s perspective that feels more like reality than satire.

Foil
(2023)
|
Phil Walsh
|
Foil has a certain silly charm, and when it sticks the landing, it is pretty enjoyable. However, the pacing is in another galaxy, and at some point, the story dithers. There is fun to Foil, but it gets lost in the stars of its own design.

(2025)

While Scarlet is a disappointing outing from the acclaimed director, there's beauty to be seen in the electrically crafted animation that tries its best to distract from a story that ends before it even truly begins

Disneyland Handcrafted is more than a story about the park or Walt Disney's creative genius. The film is a piece of living history and speaks with gusto about the need for film preservation.

GOAT’s more cliched story elements and weak humor make it just a step under the quality of Sony Animation’s recent films, but its constant visual flair and showcase of its own unique brand of basketball help it come out as a solid enough family flick.
