Since then, the meta slasher has killed the traditional slasher and now runs amok wearing its victim’s skin. In works like The Cabin in the Woods, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, You’re Next, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, the many Scream sequels, Scream Queens, Final Girl (2015), The Final Girls (2015), and the upcoming The Last Final Girl and The Final Girl Support Group (based on a novel with the same title), self-aware, often snarky characters talk about slasher movies while getting slashed in slashers that riff on slasher tropes. If anything, the meta slasher genre is calcifying into its own set of cliches. You can only explain what a final girl is so many times before the audience gets bored.
Critics Consensus
A daffy satire that’s equal parts heart and wily humor, Coyote vs. Acme makes a triumphant case for the Looney Tunes’ modern relevance with a sense of good-natured mischief that’d make even Bugs Bunny bow.
25 years after the wildly popular “Shaolin Soccer”, Stephen Chow is finally back with the sequel, “Kung Fu Soccer”. Expect more crazy soccer games, CGI-heavy mayhem and zany comedy. Whether any of this brings anything new or was actually necessary, however, is another question.
Critics Consensus
Tapping into the primal pleasures of the classic creature feature, The End of Oak Street is pulpy good fun carried off with a light touch and a sharp bite.
Spinning a web of spectacular set pieces together with mature emotional stakes and Tom Holland’s soulful performance, Brand New Day is a promising reset that portends Spidey will remain sticky on the big screen for years to come.
Summary: 9/10: Panahi’s defiant meta-documentary exposes the mechanics of authoritarian control through the lens of village superstition, proving that Iran’s attempt to silence one of its greatest filmmakers has only made his voice more essential.
Summary: 9/10: thrilling, funny, emotionally resonant sci-fi that uses its high concept to ask essential questions about cooperation, sacrifice, and whether we can save ourselves before it’s too late.
Critics Consensus
The Minions bring their penchant for mayhem to Hollywood history in this affectionate and charming sendup of moviemaking magic, turning out the franchise’s most roundly enjoyable entry yet.
The 3D experience of the Billie Eilish Tour just arrived yesterday to cinemas around the world. James Cameron (THE James Cameron!) and Billie Eilish (who is directing her own video productions since years now) as Regisseurs. They used immersive 3D techniques meant to create the experience of “being part of the tour” for the viewer.
Rammed with every music-movie cliche, an almost mute supporting cast and a Michael who only produces endless smiley blandness, this is a frustratingly shallow film
OK, so I guess this is my week of checking out Old guy, revenge gun Movies that are absolutely bananas and on the surface should be so idiotic that They should be terrible but… no.
This movie was just absurd .. but at the same so much fun. Who doesn’t want to see a Finnish Super Soldier slaughter nazis, and then slaughter more Nazis and top that off with even more slaughtering of Nazis.
Fangoria magazine has it in its top one hundred forgotten horror films. Arnold Schwarzenegger hand-picked its director for his next movie Predator based on his love of this film. It was also the first leading film role for a pre-Bond Pierce Brosnan….so why have most of you never heard of Nomads?
We have long suffered at the hands of studio executives who think nostalgia bait is the best thing since sliced bread, but the use of the formula for reimagining intellectual properties with bankable actors, throwaway cameos and not-so-subtle references is well beyond saturation by now.
This movie was great! Riz Ahmed stars as a fixer who uses a relay service to help his clients. A Relay service is typically for people with speech or hearing difficulties to use phones. It was directed by David Mackenzie, who also directed Hell or High Water.
Okay, now, that I just finished rewatched ‘Sinners’ & loved it! Yes more, than the 1st-time, but as I said before the 1st-time I a lot more expectations, that were not met, while this 2nd-time I had no expectations, but actually expecting to be let down like before.
Released in 2025, U Are the Universe taps into Ukraine’s wartime experiences, offering a sci-fi narrative that mirrors the nation’s struggles after the war.
Good god this documentary is incredible. It follows a group of Ukrainian Soldiers as they have to 2000 meters through a “forest” that is completely surrounded by mine fields to liberate a village that is called Andriivka. By forest I mean a small strip of trees and fox holes.
