Rating: PG Stars (voices): Pierre Coffin, Alison Janney, George Lucas, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Trey Parker, Zoey Deutch Writers: Brian Lynch and Pierre Coffin, based on characters created by Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio and Sergio Pablos Director: Pierre Coffin; co-director, Patrick Delage Distributor: Universal Release Date: July 1, 2026 If the Minions were playable Dungeons & Dragons characters, they’d be Chaotic Neutral. They seem to want to be Lawful Evil – their instinct is to serve the biggest bad guy they can find. However, the Minions’ even more compelling instinct to make each other laugh winds up […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Milly Adcock, David Corenswet, Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, Diarmaid Murtagh, Jason Momoa, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham Writer: Ana Nogueira, based on characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster Director: Craig Gillespie Distributor: Warner Bros./DC Studios Release Date: June 26, 2026 The new SUPERGIRL doesn’t have that “Eureka! This is how you do this now” spark that galvanized its immediate franchise predecessor, last year’s SUPERMAN. Director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Ana Nogueira, basing the film on characters created by DC Comics’ Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, probably wisely, aren’t going for that. Instead, the SUPERGIRL makers are […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Russell Crowe, Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Danny Zovatto, Josh McConville, Ever Love Hope, Nina Dobrev, Aaron Paul, Benedict Hardie Writers: Derrick Borte & Daniel Forte, based on the novel STRIP by Thomas Perry Director: Derrick Borte Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: June 26, 2026 THE GET OUT (not to be confused with Jordan Peele’s 2017 GET OUT) is based on STRIP, a novel by the late Edgar Award-winning mystery/thriller writer Thomas Perry. Without having read the source material, it’s hard to say how faithful the adaptation by director Derrick Borte & his co-scenarist Daniel Forte is, but […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Zola Grimmer, Alice Wordsworth, Cherry Moore, Lea Rose Sebastianis, Ella Reece, Austyn Van de Kamp, Michael Tan, Izza Jarvis Writer: Avalon Fast Director: Avalon Fast Distributor: Dark Sky Films Release Date: June 26, 2026 One might think that a movie called CAMP has a double entendre title. One would, in that case, be mistaken. Although CAMP is set at one of those establishments where, for a summer, young counselors tend to younger campers, it is not arch or particularly funny. Also, while there are possibly ominous, perhaps supernatural goings-on, it is not a slasher. So, what […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, Jeremy Blewitt, Mia Wasikowska, Ewen Leslie, Davida McKenzie, Nicholas Hope Writer: Adrian Chiarella Director: Adrian Chiarella Distributor: Neon Release Date: June 19, 2026 “Conversion therapy,” for those thankfully unacquainted with the term and/or process, is designed to make LGBTQ people, largely (but not always) teens, lose their innate sexuality and become heterosexual. It is still legal in twenty-seven U.S. states. This “therapy” has been denounced by the American Psychiatric Association and has resulted in suicides and nervous breakdowns, but no provable “conversions.” The phrase “conversion therapy” is never heard in LEVITICUS. Writer/director Adrian […]Read On »

DISCLOSURE DAY movie poster | ©2026 Universal

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell Writer: David Koepp, story by Steven Spielberg Director: Steven Spielberg Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: June 12, 2026 DISCLOSURE DAY begins in what in other movies would be the middle, or at least the end of the first act. A man, who we will soon learn is scientist and mathematical genius Dr. Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor), is bound to a chair. A group of men in dark suits, led by Dr. Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth), want both an object and information Daniel has. Daniel is […]Read On »

True, KRAKEN does have a sonic transducer as part of its plot, but no one mentions or even hums a bar from THE […]Read On »
