Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Henry Cavill, Freddy Fox, Til Schweiger, Rory Kinnear, Henry Golding, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Cary, Babs Olusanmokun, Eiza Gonzalez, Alex Pettyfer, Alan Ritchson, Danny Sapani
Like many recent Ritchie movies, this one has a lot of frenetic action, a fair amount of spectacle, some cheeky dialogue, and a hefty dose of machismo.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Sexual Content, Prosthetic Nudity)
Genre: Adventure
Director: David Zeller, Nathan Zeller
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek, Nathan Zeller
Designed to be corny and loopy but with a kernel of sentimentality at its core, and is sufficiently different to make it almost worth seeing for that reason alone.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-04-05
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Brief Nudity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Comedy/Mystery
Director: Thea Sharrock
Cast: Jessie Buckley, Malachi Kirby, Anjana Vasan, Gemma Jones, Eileen Atkins, Hugh, Joanna Scanlan, Alisha Weir, Timothy Spall, Olivia Colman, Paul Chahidi
As a comedy, it hits many of the right notes but as a mystery, it is less than impressive.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-04-05
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Fantasy/Romance
Director: Ned Benson
Cast: Lucy Boynton, David Corenswet, Justin H. Min
The actors do what they can with underwritten roles but it is hard not to see that a lot more could have been developed from the premise.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Robert Lorenz
Cast: Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon, Ciaran Hinds, Jack Gleeson, Sarah Greene, Colm Meaney, Desmond Eastwood
Director Robert Lorenz does a good job of generating suspense but his handling of smaller, character-based moments is uneven at best.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Nudity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Michael Mohan
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Alvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli
It is at times unsettling and the ending contains a strong shock element but the movie as a whole feels a little too familiar to engage its audience.
U.S. Home Release Date: 2024-02-29
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Sexual Content)
Genre: Comedy
Director: John Landis
Cast: Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, Isla Fisher, Jessica Hynes, Tom Wilkinson, Tim Curry, David Hayman, Ronnie Corbett
Fans of the Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright collaborations may find the material to be engaging but there is little to convince contemporary viewers that this is a forgotten gem.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-02-23

Genre: Thriller/Comedy
Director: Ethan Coen
Cast: Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Joey Slotnick, C.J. Wilson, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp, Matt Damon
Feels like a failed attempt to infuse the Coen Brothers’ wry aesthetic into a B-movie tableau.
U.S. Home Release Date: 2024-02-19
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Nudity)
Genre: Documentary/Horror
Director: Andrew J. Keuhn
Cast: Nancy Allen, Donald Pleasence
In the 21st century, this is a throw-away but what it offered at the time of its release was substantial.
U.S. Home Release Date: 2024-01-23
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity)
Genre: Documentary
Director: Seth Porges, Chris Charles Scott
Cast: John Hodgman, Bill Benneyan, Jim DeSaye, Daron Fitch, Joe Hession, Mark Johnson, Chris Gethard, Bob Krahulik
The kind of nostalgia-bait that might cause a pause if one was to stumble upon it while channel surfing.
