    When one of a therapist’s patients disappears into an ill-defined dimension that belies reality, she follows suit to rescue him and finds an opaque, half-glimpsed, Gen-Z screen nightmare. If you’re looking for something completely different, this one’s for you, a prototype for a new genre of Internet-spawned horror that thrives on atmosphere and ambiguity. Kudos to both Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve for making this ambitious yet threadbare feature debut by 21-year-old Kane Parsons (aka “Ka

    This is, of course, Christopher Nolan’s masterful rendition of Homer’s epic tale about King Odysseus’s perilous, decade-long voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, with bits thrown in, in flashback form, from “The Iliad” and Virgil’s “Aeneid” just to keep you up to date on the 2800-year-old Greek backstory. All presented with awesome, textured visuals and throbbing sound design. Nolan is to be further commended for limiting the use of cheaper CGI or, Zeus forbid, 3D. Matt Damon shines in th

    Jason Statham, it has been said, only makes one movie, and does it over and over. But his fans don’t seem to mind (you know who you are), so why should I? This time he plays a reclusive, highly skilled former government assassin who’s supposed to be dead, holed up on a deserted lighthouse rock in Scotland’s Orkney Islands. His carefully orchestrated cover is blown when a young supply girl unknowingly triggers some high-tech recognition and tracking program, and the two find themselves on the ver

    You know those party games where you admit to the worst thing you’ve ever done? What do you do if someone owns up to something truly reprehensible? This is what happens to a happily engaged couple (Zendaya & Robert Pattinson) in the leadup to their perfect wedding. This new film by Norwegian shit-disturber Kristoffer Borgli (Dream Scenario, Sick of Myself) is hard to categorize. A romantic comedy, a farce to be sure, but a rather mordant one. It’s unabashedly and uncomfortably cringe-worthy, but

    In the Grey | Metropolis Japan (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    An elite team of good-looking secret operatives is sent to steal back a billion dollars from a ruthless despot. Two hunky guys, the muscle, are tasked with protecting and extracting a lady lawyer once the mission is done. The first half of Guy Ritchie’s new B-movie sails right along, as they set about planning and endlessly rehearsing their impossibly complex heist. Ritchie excels at this kind of snappy dialog and nimble editing, and it’s a fun watch. Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill earn their
