Genre: Horror
Director: Matt Dettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett
Cast: Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Alisha Weir, William Catlett, Kathryn Newton, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, Giancarlo Esposito
For those willing to overlook some often-familiar horror movie conventions, the movie is gorily diverting and maintains a light, flippant tone.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-04-19
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Henry Cavill, Freddy Fox, Til Schweiger, ...
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, ...

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Alex Garland
Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Wagener Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman
"Civil War" does a good job dissecting the damage done by a desensitization to violence but it botches the backstory and features an ending that belongs in another movie.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-04-05
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Dev Patel
Cast: Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, Sikander Kher, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Adithi Kalkunte, Sobhita Dhulipala, Ashwini Kalsekar, Makarand Deshpande
A blood-soaked revenge tale with a high body count that refuses to pull its punches to make the protagonist more likable.
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.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-03-29
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Science Fiction/Action
Director: Adam Wingard
Cast: Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens, Kaylee Hottle, Alex Ferns
For those who have an orgasmic reaction to kaiju confrontations, far too little of the film is devoted to them and the overreliance on CGI leeches away the awe associated with the spectacle.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-03-29
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.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-03-22
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.
