If someone was going to make a "Hunger Games" prequel, this is about the best one might hope for.

Run Time: 2:13
U.S. Release Date: 2023-10-27
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Alexander Payne
Cast: Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa, Da’Vine Joy Randolph

The manner in which director Alexander Payne and writer David Hemingson approach this familiar trope imbues it with freshness, honesty, and warmth.

For those who enjoy their sleuthing on the big screen with impressively conceived set pieces, evocative performances, gothic twists and turns, and a drizzling of ghostly apparitions.

Not a bad movie but too long and lifeless for what amounts to a two-hour commercial for a three-minute ride.

Run Time: 1:32
U.S. Release Date: 2023-05-12
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence)
Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Robert Rodriguez
Cast: Ben Affleck, Alice Braga, JD Pardo, Dayo Okeniyi, Jeff Fahey, Jackie Earle Haley, William Fichtner

The convoluted result – low on thrills, lower on coherence, and lowest on acting – is more confusing than compelling.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: David Gordon Green
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Rohan Campbell, James Jude Courtney, Kyle Richards

Considering the various indignities visited upon Michael Myers over the years, it’s not a bad way to go out. At least it has the virtue of trying something new.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Adamma Ebo
Cast: Regina Hall, Sterling K. Brown, Nicole Beharie, Conphidance, Austin Crute, Devere Rogers

The movie is at times funny, at times blistering, and at times insightful, but it lacks consistency, thereby arguing that perhaps the short film that provided its basis offered a better length.

On the whole, this is a charming and at times moving reminder of what it meant to be young in the 1980s.

Run Time: 2:37

Genre: Drama
Director: Ridley Scott
Cast:

Despite excellent performances and isolated moments of limited brilliance, the movie is undone by its low-energy approach and lack of zest.

One of the better sequels, containing all the requisite elements to make it popular among horror film lovers regardless of their ages.
