BLACK BAG movie poster | ©2025 Focus Features

Rating: R Stars: Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Tom Burke, Marisa Abela, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris, Pierce Brosnan, Gustaf Skarsgård Writer: David Koepp Director: Steven Soderbergh Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: March 14, 2025 The title of BLACK BAG refers not to a physical object, but rather to the catch-all phrase spies use when there’s a topic they can’t discuss with each other. This can be an issue when spies are romantically involved with one another, such as devotedly married George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender) and Kathryn St. Jean (Cate Blanchett). The two work in different departments at MI-6, the British equivalent […]Read On »

GEORGE AND MANDY'S FIRST MARRIAGE - Season 1 Key Art | ©2025 CBS

CBS’s comedy GEORGE & MANDY’S FIRST MARRIAGE, now on Thursday nights in its first season (with episodes then available on Paramount+ TV), is already renewed for Season 2. The show is a spinoff of CBS’s seven-season hit YOUNG SHELDON, which in turn was spun off from the twelve-season, massively successful THE BIG BANG THEORY. We first met Sheldon Cooper, as played by Jim Parsons, in THE BIG BANG THEORY as a physicist who is as brilliant as he is nerdy. In YOUNG SHELDON, Sheldon is played as a child genius by Iain Armitage. In this series, we get to know […]Read On »

VANISHED: THE HEATHER ELVIS CASE Key Art | ©2025 True Case Films

Rating: Not Rated Directors: Michael Bayer & Jeff Dean Distributor: True Case Films Release Date: March 10, 2025 (Apple TV+, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube) Confession: this reviewer is not an expert in the field of true-crime documentaries, and is therefore not qualified to provide reliable testimony on how VANISHED: THE HEATHER ELVIS CASE compares to others in its genre. What can be stated is that VANISHED, a two-hour and forty-four-minute feature cut into three separate episodes for streaming, uses both interviews and re-enactments to explore what happened to Heather Elvis. Heather, a white toxicology student who worked as a […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, Anamaria Vartolomei, Holliday Grainger, Anna Mouglalis (voice) Writer: Bong Joon-ho, based on the novel MICKEY 7 by Edward Ashton Director: Bong Joon-ho Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: March 7, 2025 MICKEY 17, based on Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel MICKEY 7 (Mickey gets ten more lives in the movie), is an agreeable enough science-fiction adventure, even though it seems to be unaware that it is reinventing parts of the wheel and its stabs at dark comedy are frequently heavy-handed. The year is 2056. We meet Mickey 17 (Robert […]Read On »

Movie Review: F MARRY KILL

Rating: R Stars: Lucy Hale, Virginia Gardner, Brooke Nevin, Samer Salem, Jedediah Goodacre, Brendan Morgan, Bethany Brown, Jayr Tinaco, RJ Featherstone, Threnody Thai Writers: Ivan Diaz and Dan Scheinkman and Meghan Brown Director: Laura Murphy Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: March 7, 2025 (theatrical, digital) F MARRY KILL turns the trope into a romcom. In order to suit its title, there is a murder mystery involved, but its tone and humor are more invested in who our heroine will choose than whodunit. Eva (Lucy Hale) is celebrating her thirtieth birthday with best pals Kelly (Virginia Gardner), Robin (Bethany Brown) and Anthony […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE RULE OF JENNY PEN

THE RULE OF JENNY PEN movie poster | ©2025 IFC Films

Rating: R Stars: John Lithgow, Geoffrey Rush, Tony Garfield Writers: Eli Kent and James Ashcroft, based on the short story by Owen Marshall Director: James Ashcroft Distributor: IFC Films Release Date: March 7, 2025 THE RULE OF JENNY PEN is quietly harrowing. The pace is deliberate and there’s almost no blood, but the setting – a New Zealand “retirement home” – is soul-bruising even before we get to its unique horror. Judge Stefan Mortensen (Geoffrey Rush) is proud of his profession and position. But one day, as he pronounces a sentence in his courtroom, he suffers a debilitating stroke. Determined […]Read On »

Movie Review: BLOAT

Rating: R Stars: Ben McKenzie, Bojana Novakovic, Malcolm Fuller, Sawyer Jones, Kane Kosugi Writer: Pablo Absento Director: Pablo Absento Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: March 7, 2025 (theatrical, digital, VOD) BLOAT shares a stylistic ethos (and executive producer Timur Bekmambetov) with UNFRIENDED and SEARCHING. Like those films and a few others, including the sublime HOST, BLOAT takes place entirely on the screens of computers and cellphones. It’s a variation on the found footage horror subgenre, which has a few built-in advantages. For starters, the webcams keep us from wondering why a character is continuing to shoot with their camera when they […]Read On »

THE GORGE Key Art | ©2025 AppleTV

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sigourney Weaver, Sope Dirisu, William Houston Writer: Zach Dean Director: Scott Derrickson Distributor: Apple TV+ Release Date: February 14, 2025 THE GORGE has something for everyone, especially monster lovers. We get espionage, romance, sharpshooters, mysteries that mostly have logical answers, and eventually, lots of different kinds of homicidal creatures. Levi (Miles Teller) is a former U.S. government assassin, now retired, who is called back to service by his old colleague Bartholomew (Sigourney Weaver). Bartholomew reaches out to Levi because this is a top-secret year-long job that will have (supposedly) no human contact, and […]Read On »

Movie Review: CULPRIT

CULPRIT movie poster | ©2025 Quiver Distribution

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jamie Donovan, Laura Vale, Carolyn Mignini, Ron Orbach, Michael Dempsey, Robert Lewis Stephenson, Richard Whiten, Nita Whitaker, Michael Naizu, Amy Motta, Jacy King, Bixby Baker Writers: Rich Ronat & Jamie Donovan Director: Rich Ronat Distributor: Quiver Distribution Release Date: February 28, 2025 (VOD/digital) CULPRIT is a thriller that keeps us guessing throughout. It’s not for the squeamish – besides two late-in-the-running but super-gory visuals, it deals overall with crimes against two little girls, one thirty years ago and one in the present. We do not see these assaults, but the mere idea of them may put […]Read On »
