MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy/Horror
Director: Tim Story
Cast: Antoinette Robertson, Dewayne Perkins, Sinqua Walls, Grace Byers, X Mayo, Melvin Gregg, Jermaine Fowler

Beneath all the gags, jokes, and one-liners, it dissects not only the role of Black characters in horror movies but the perception of Black viewers of those characters.

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.

Run Time: 2:06
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-03-14
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Rude Behavior)
Genre: Drama
Director: Marc Forster
Cast: Tom Hanks, Mariana Trevino, Rachel Keller, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Cameron Britton, Mike Birbiglia, Truman Hanks

The things that work outweigh those that do not and the performance by Hanks is the glue that holds everything together.

It probably will not go down as “Great Spielberg” or even “Very Good Spielberg” but represents a warm, enjoyable plunge into the 1950s and 1960s.

A dark satire that skewers privilege and eviscerates the famous and wealthy, this film from director Mark Mylod takes no prisoners.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Maria Schrader
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Zoe Kazan, Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, Jennifer Ehle, Samantha Morton, Ashley Judd

For the most part, "She Said" provides involving material that doesn’t forget the victims in the process of telling how their stories brought down one of Hollywood’s ogres.

What director Gina Prince-Bythewood provides is more than enough for a rousing motion picture filled with well-choreographed battle scenes effectively folded into stories of human interest.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Disturbing Images, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Parker Finn
Cast: Sosie Bacon, Kyle Gallner, Robin Weigert, Jessie T. Usher, Kal Penn, Gillian Zinser

This is a reminder that horror movies have the twin goals of unsettling and upsetting - a mission statement director Parker Finn takes seriously.

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.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Ti West
Cast: Mia Goth, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, David Corenswet, Emma Jenkins-Purro, Alistair Sewell

For those enamored with Ti West’s extraordinarily entertaining 2022 horror film, "X," his latest effort is required viewing, although it’s a much different kettle of fish.
