There is nothing to disabuse notions that this is an effective bonding opportunity for parents and young children with a healthy side order of nostalgia.

Run Time: 2:49
U.S. Release Date: 2025-05-23
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Cast: Tom Cruise, Henry Czerny, Angela Basset, ...

A no-holds-barred action-oriented epic that does not much care if it makes sense as long as viewers are amped-up and engaged.

Run Time: 2:05
U.S. Release Date: 2025-05-23
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, Eiza Gonzalez, ...

Yet another original streaming “event” movie that rewards viewers for inattentiveness - the less attention one pays to this soulless retread of an action/adventure wannabe, the better it looks.

In large part because of a great beginning and a solid ending, this is one of the better entries into the series.

Run Time: 1:45

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence, Drugs)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Trey Edward Shults
Cast: Abel Tesfaye, Jenna Ortega, Barry Keoghan

"Hurry Up Tomorrow" seems destined for one of two fates: to be buried in the landfill of self-indulgent, ill-advised vanity projects or find a second life as a cult classic.

Run Time: 1:37
U.S. Release Date: 2025-05-09
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: James Madigan
Cast: Josh Hartnett, Charithra Chandran, Julian Kostov, Katee Sackhoff

There are a few standout moments but there are also a few too many scenes when the movie goes on auto-pilot as if it is reluctant to get really crazy.

With the actors and director Paul Feig on board, the only thing no one bothered with was a good screenplay.

Bringing together the flotsam and jetsam of the MCU imparts the “back to basics” feel of Thunderbolts* with a welcome sense of freshness.

Like far too many game-to-film adaptations, the better option is to fire up the PS5 and stay far, far away from the multiplex.

Run Time: 2:04
U.S. Release Date: 2025-04-25
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Gavin O'Connor
Cast: Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda, J.K. Simmons, Robert Morgan, Grant Harvey

The movie works when focused on character interaction and buddy-movie tropes, but the action elements are perfunctory at best and boring at worst.
