Genre: Fantasy/Adventure
Director: Jean-Jacques Annaud

The more accustomed we become to this interpretation of life at the dawn of humanity, the less alien it seems – an examination of an ancient culture with unfamiliar customs and morals.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Osgood Perkins
Cast: Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Boynton, Emma Roberts, James Remar, Lauren Holly

Although neither scary nor creepy (despite its "horror" classification), the movie is a puzzle whose picture fails to snap into focus until the final piece is in place.

Issues about the current relevance of the dialogue aside, the presentation offers a clinic in the importance of the non-verbal aspects of filmmaking.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Charles Dorfman
Cast: Catalina Sandino Moreno, Tom Cullen, Iwan Rheon, Ines Spiridonov

This is first and foremost a thriller/horror movie that trades in tension and suspense both of the slow-boil kind and the more traditional form.

Has a free-spirited sense of fun and mischief that allows the viewer to uncover something more enjoyable than the monotonous sameness of the CGI overload.

Run Time: 1:48
U.S. Home Release Date: 2022-11-15
MPAA Rating: "R" (Nudity, Sexual Content, Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Fantasy
Director: George Miller
Cast: Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, Aamito Lagum, Burcu Golgedar, Pia Thunderbolt

Suffused with hypnotic visuals and anchored by a tremendous performance by Idris Elba, the movie takes its cues from the fantasy workings of Guillermo del Toro and is only occasionally found wanting.

Although relying on some of the alchemy that made the formula successful in 1986, the film’s awareness of cultural shifts makes for a more complete cinematic experience.

At times frustrating and at times exuberant, the movie is effective in capturing both the triumph and tragedy of the title character’s life.

Although there’s probably never a minute that goes by without some kind of barb being tossed, Ostlund reserves his sharpest daggers for illustrating how utterly out-of-touch the ultra-rich are.
