- DirectorWilliam Brent BellStarsIsabelle FuhrmanJulia StilesRossif SutherlandAfter orchestrating a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Esther travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family.Though not as good as the first one I still found a lot to like. As we all know who and what Esther is, they had to come up with something new, and boy, did they. It's a good little thriller that embraces its camp.
- DirectorChristian TafdrupStarsMorten BurianSidsel Siem KochFedja van HuêtA Danish family visits a Dutch family they met on a holiday. What was supposed to be an idyllic weekend slowly starts unraveling as the Danes try to stay polite in the face of unpleasantness.Had some good stuff but didn't quite reach its potential.
- CreatorJoe BartonStarsJay LycurgoNadia ParkesPaul ReadyCaught between two warring clans, the son of a notorious witch responsible for a deadly massacre tries to find his place in the world — and his powers.For a YA show about witches and supernatural shenanigans, it was actually quite good. Pretty good story, good acting, a decent amount of gore - and then, of course, Netflix pulled the plug after one season. Do they hate their subscribers?
- StarsRuby StokesCameron ChapmanAli Hadji-HeshmatiLucy, a girl with psychic abilities, joins two boys, Anthony and George, at the ghost-hunting agency Lockwood and Co. to fight the deadly spirits plaguing London, doing their best to save the day without any adult supervision.Another decent supernatural YA show, and this time *gasp* we might get a season 2 :O
Edit: No, they cancelled it :( - DirectorPeyton ReedStarsPaul RuddEvangeline LillyMichael DouglasScott Lang and Hope Van Dyne are dragged into the Quantum Realm, along with Hope's parents and Scott's daughter Cassie. Together they must find a way to escape, but what secrets is Hope's mother hiding? And who is the mysterious Kang?Good movie, though still the weakest of the Ant-Man movies. What I really love about the two first ones, is that they feel more intimate and personal, whereas Quantumania goes big. Good effects and action, though a lot of it seemed borrowed from movies like the Star Wars prequels and Dune.
Big plusses are: Kang now feels like a formidable villain, instead of that exposition-ex-machina he was on the Loki show, and Michelle Pfeiffer gets TONS of screentime. At points it almost felt like it is her movie. - DirectorElizabeth BanksStarsKeri RussellAlden EhrenreichO'Shea Jackson Jr.An oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converge on a Georgia forest where a huge black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine.Not great art, but a hilarious turn-your-brain-off movie.
- DirectorScott MannStarsGrace Caroline CurreyVirginia GardnerMason GoodingWhen a high-rise climb goes wrong, best friends Becky and Hunter find themselves stuck at the top of a 2,000-foot TV tower.Aka 102 fricking minutes of goddamn stress. I don't know why I do this to myself, what with my extreme fear of heigts. I must have burned 80 billion calories watching this. I should have watched it on my phone instead of on my 55 inches TV. If I'd seen in the cinema I would have died.
- DirectorRichard StanleyStarsNicolas CageJoely RichardsonMadeleine ArthurA secluded farm is struck by a strange meteorite which has apocalyptic consequences for the family living there and possibly the world.It was fine, I guess, no biggie. Some good, schlocky effects.
- DirectorParker FinnStarsSosie BaconJessie T. UsherKyle GallnerAfter witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced she is being threatened by an uncanny entity.Not too shabby. For the most part it was a somewhat intriguing mystery which was as much of a psychological drama as it was a thriller/horror. The ending derailed a bit, though.
- DirectorEvan SpiliotopoulosStarsJeffrey Dean MorganCricket BrownWilliam SadlerA hearing-impaired girl is visited by the Virgin Mary and can suddenly hear, speak, and heal the sick. As people flock to witness her miracles, terrifying events unfold. Are they the work of the Virgin Mary or something much more sinister?There are seeds of a good story in there, but it mostly misses the mark. First half of the movie is quite interesting, but the latter half relies too much on typical demonic horror movie tropes. The acting is impeccable, though.
- StarsDaisy May CooperCharlie CooperPaul ChahidiComedy exploring the lives of young people in modern-day rural Britain; focusing particularly on Kerry and Kurtan, two cousins living in the Cotswolds.Season 2. Just as bonkers as the first season.
- DirectorBaltasar KormákurStarsLiyabuya GongoMartin MunroDaniel HadebeA father and his two teenage daughters find themselves hunted by a massive rogue lion intent on proving that the Savanna has but one apex predator.Wasn't exactly bored, though it was very middle of the road. No tension, no surprises, an anti-climactic ending.
- DirectorPatrick HughesStarsRyan ReynoldsSamuel L. JacksonSalma HayekThe bodyguard, Michael Bryce, continues his friendship with assassin, Darius Kincaid, as they try to save Darius' wife Sonia.Not high art, but I get a good laugh out of these movies.
- DirectorKeith BehrmanStarsJosh WigginsDarren MannTaylor HicksonTwo popular teen boys, best friends since childhood, discover their lives, families, and girlfriends dramatically upended after an unexpected incident occurs on the night of a 17th birthday party.Fine, understated performances.
- DirectorMatt Bettinelli-OlpinTyler GillettStarsCourteney CoxMelissa BarreraJenna OrtegaIn the next installment, the survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City.I'm mixed about this, there was some good stuff but it didn't leave much of an impression.
- DirectorEskil VogtStarsRakel Lenora Petersen FløttumAlva Brynsmo RamstadSam AshrafDuring the bright Nordic summer, a group of children reveal their dark and mysterious powers when the adults aren't looking. In this original and gripping supernatural thriller, playtime takes a dangerous turn.Effing unnerving and at times quite brutal.
- DirectorLionel DelplanqueStarsMarie TrintignantSuzanne MacAleeseMaud BuquetA group of young actors stay overnight in their host's castle only to be hunted by a serial killer.For a long time nothing much actually happens, but it is strangely fascinating. Dreamlike shots, and with tons of Giallo/early 80s slasher vibes.
- CreatorBill BarrettaAdam F. GoldbergJeff YorkesStarsLilly SinghDave GoelzEric JacobsonFollow The Muppets' band as they try to record their first ever album.Actually quite good. Lots of fun, and rather heartwarming at times.
- DirectorDaniel StammStarsJacqueline ByersDebora ZhechevaChristian NavarroA nun prepares to perform an exorcism and comes face to face with a demonic force with mysterious ties to her past.Didn't expect a lot, but it was actually a quite decent little possession/exorcism movie.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsHarrison FordPhoebe Waller-BridgeAntonio BanderasArchaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to retrieve a legendary artifact that can change the course of history.It of course didn't have the wow-factor of the original trilogy, but I still thought there was a lot of fun to be had. Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge had good chemistry, and Boyd Holbrook was the most despicable character I have seen in a while (well, he was playing a Nazi, but still). I liked it a tad more than Crystal Skull, which I think I like better than most others do.
- DirectorCoke DanielsStarsTaryn ManningCory HardrictJasmine BurkeKaren attempts to displace the new Black family that moved into the neighborhood, but they won't back down without a fight.Reviewers tore this movie apart, and a lot of it is very heavy-handed and too on the nose, but I actually was morbidly entertained. They managed to make you feel pity for Karen, and the black couple wasn't super perfect. I'm not sure if the writer/director wanted to make a serious movie, a satirical one, or a suspense movie, so it falls somewhere in between those three. A lot of the acting is a bit iffy, though.
- DirectorDavid PastorÀlex PastorStarsMario CasasGeorgina CampbellDiego CalvaAfter an entity of mysterious origin annihilates the world's population causing those who observe it to take their lives, Sebastián and his daughter begin their own great adventure of survival in Barcelona.I wasn't too crazy about the original one, but this spin-off I felt was much better.
- DirectorAlessio LiguoriStarsJack KaneZanda EmlanoZak SutcliffeA mysterious creature terrorizes five teenage friends after their bus takes a shortcut on a desolate road in the wild.I mean, I was entertained, but there wasn't a big pay-off of any kind. The teens were rather realistic, though, annoying AF one moment, sweet and caring the next.
- CreatorKyle BradstreetStarsSamuel L. JacksonEmilia ClarkeDon CheadleFury and Talos try to stop the Skrulls who have infiltrated the highest spheres of the Marvel Universe.Good show, just wished there were more than 6 episodes and/or that they were longer. The last episode drags it down a bit.
Emilia Clarke is as bland as ever, Olivia Colman is a hoot. - DirectorJôji IidaStarsKôichi SatôMiki NakataniHinako SaekiA young pathologist seeks answers to the mysterious death of a friend and soon comes into contact with the same cursed videotape that caused the death of the friend's wife and son, which is haunted by the curse of Sadako, a relentless spirit.A bit confusing, but overall I liked it.
