From our review,

The finale leaves the door open to the possibility of future adventures for this family – none of which have been greenlit, but in this age of never-ending revivals and never-ending nostalgia, anything is possible. If this movie is well and truly a wrap for The Venture Bros.although, Radiant is the blood of the baboon heart A farewell to one of the greatest animated comedies to air on television couldn’t be more dignified or fitting.

Genre: Supernatural horror
Duration: 1h 38m
Director: Robert Savage
Form: Sophie Thatcher, Chris Messina, Vivien Lyra Blair

Based on Stephen King’s 1973 short story of the same name. The boogeyman follows a teenage girl named Sadie (Sophie Thatcher) and her younger sister Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) who are inexplicably haunted by an evil alien presence seemingly connected to their deepest and darkest fears.

From our review,

The modified version of The boogeyman is full of classically tailored scares and creeping atmosphere. Even more than Lights out or James Wan’s Conjuring films, Savage’s take on the creature function is buttoned up and often overextended in an effort to keep the Harper family’s grieving process central to the story. The action gets a bit repetitive: In the aftermath of Lester’s death, the movie oscillates between Boogeyman attacks in Harper’s increasingly familiar house, and Sadie’s trips to school, where she is tormented for being a sad sack who wears the dresses. of her deceased mother. (Are high schoolers the real monsters? Makes you think.) Savage is playful about tracking down the dark corners of the house — whoever invented it wireless light ball deserves remnants of this movie, given how many times he rolls into the shadows to catch the silhouette of a spindly monster – but eventually the scares wear thin.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate

Genre: Action adventure
Duration: 2h 34m
Director: James Mangold
Form: Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen

Harrison Ford’s latest Indiana Jones getaway sees the whip-wielding archaeologist adventurer embark on one last intrepid expedition with his estranged goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) as they race around the world in search of an ancient artifact before a Nazi rocket scientist (Mads Mikkelsen) ). ) gets his nefarious hands on it.

From our review,

Mangold is a very good director, capable of guiding solid crowd pleasers (Ford vs Ferrari, Walk the line) and even breathes new life into the dying X-Men franchise with Logan. But Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate looks anonymous. The visual style is boring in a way that drains the movie of any personality. When Indiana Jones makes his way through booby-trapped caves in torchlight Raiders of the Lost Arkthe contrast between the outside world and this eerie tomb evokes a special wonder. But pretty much every scene in the dark here is dimly lit and hard to see. And like so many modern blockbusters, Dial of fate leans on quick cuts that increase the pace of Indiana’s battles with the Nazis, but the choreography is barely discernible.

The Pod Generation

Genre: Sci-fi romance
Duration: 1h 49m
Director: Sophie Barthes
Form: Emilia Clarke, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rosalie Craig

What if Gattaca wasn’t it a dystopian retro-futuristic drama starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, but a quirky sci-fi romantic drama starring Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor? That’s essentially what director Sophie Barthes’ latest film is in a nutshell: a couple gets the chance to conceive a child via an artificial womb (or capsule), only to discover that parenting and life are more unpredictable than they are. initially envisioned.

Form: Frank Grillo, Alain Moussi, Georges St. Pierre

It’s always exciting when a creator gets to adapt their own work, and it’s always exciting when there’s a new Frank Grillo action movie. King of assassins is both.

Kevin Grevioux (Underworld) directs and stars in this adaptation of his own comic book, in which the world’s best killer (Grillo) hires a bunch of the world’s second best killers to see if they can kill him. Bloody chaos ensues.
