    Michael Fassbender's New Sci-Fi Action Thriller Is an Insanely Fun Alien Invasion Epic | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The fact that Hope works as well as it does (and man, does this film cook) is miraculous, considering it violates an unwritten rule of thriller cinema: if you’re going to draw out your opening to excruciating lengths, torture us with suspense about the nature of the threat, and withhold the gruesome visage of your hideous monster for almost an hour, that monster had better be damn terrifying. Well, in Hope, the aliens who land in the Podunk town of Hope Harbor, South Korea, look as if Dwayne Joh

    Ryan Reynolds' Streaming Action Film Feels Like a Throwback Adventure Plucked From the '80s | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There are folks who feel blessed to have seen Halley’s Comet, and there are others who feel lucky to have seen the Chicago Cubs win the World Series. For those wondering if snark-meister Ryan Reynolds can stop being a smart-ass for one lousy second, let Mayday be the answer to your prayers: you have finally lived long enough to see Reynolds deliver a comedic performance that isn’t pitched at stratospheric levels of sarcasm. The problem, and this is painful to admit, is that Mayday could have use

    Gal Gadot's Prime Video Thriller Is as Mindless and Ludicrous as Streaming Movies Come | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The ideal viewer for Prime Video’s throwaway thriller The Runner is anyone upset by recent quotes from star Gal Gadot suggesting that she might be done playing Wonder Woman. The film gives off major (and, frankly, a bit objectifying) superheroine vibes by having Gadot run around London in tight spandex as her character, big-deal attorney Maia Martin, is ordered by an anonymous caller to run five miles in one hour and then kill a witness. If she fails, her son will be murdered. Even with all that

    Ridley Scott's Return to Sci-Fi Is a Hopeful, Post-Apocalyptic Western | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Director Ridley Scott will be 89 years old in November, so excuse us if our first question regarding his latest, The Dog Stars, is not whether it works (it mostly does) or whether Jacob Elordi is any good (he mostly is), but rather how it all fits into Scott’s legendary career. The movie is certainly his best since 2015’s The Martian, a story about head-down, get-it-done, workmanlike problem-solving that probably appealed to such a pragmatic director. Why Peter Heller’s novel, The Dog Stars, spo

    'Coyote vs. Acme' Is No 'Roger Rabbit,' But the Almost-Cancelled Movie Gets One Thing Right | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There’s an impulse to be overly generous to Coyote vs. Acme, to recommend it as an act of protest against Warner Bros. The studio had so little faith in director Dave Green’s finished film that, in late 2023, the studio shelved it, preferring to take a $30 million tax write-off. It was a cruel, corporate, talent-unfriendly maneuver, and the best revenge would be to reward Ketchup Entertainment —which acquired the film in 2025 — with Scrooge McDuck-approved piles of box-office dough. But despite
