TO LIVE AND DIE AND LIVE | ©2025 Cinema Street

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Amin Joseph, Skye P. Marshall, Omari Hardwick, Cory Hardrict, Maryam Basir, Dana Gourrier, Travina Spencer, Ismail Abdul-Aziz, Jeryl Prescott, Roger Guenveur Smith Writer: Qasim Bashir Director: Qasim Bashir Distributor: CinemaStreet Pictures Release Date: May 30, 2025 Dramas about troubled filmmakers are probably not the favorite genre of most filmgoers (and perhaps even filmmakers themselves). TO LIVE AND DIE AND LIVE is broadly in this category, but since the protagonist, Muhammad Abdullah (Amin Joseph), spends most of his time dealing with other issues, that aspect is in the background. We meet Muhammad as he arrives at the […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Cate Blanchett, Aswan Reid, Deborah Mailman, Wayne Blair Writer: Warwick Thornton Director: Warwick Thornton Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: May 23, 2025 THE NEW BOY is an odd film. On the one hand, it is filled with quiet and sincere wonder, delight and sorrow. It is a story of culture clash among individuals who don’t fit entirely into the worlds they come from, with a bit of magic. It is also convincingly measured in its depiction of life in an isolated Catholic orphanage in Australia during WWII and physically handsome to boot. On the other hand, […]Read On »

At the outset, a young woman – we will shortly discover this is Margaret, called Magpie (Emma Appleton) – narrates a brief fable about how the lonely moon created the sun as a lover, leaving […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Katie Douglas, Aaron Abrams, Carson MacCormac, Vincent Muller, Kevin Durand, Will Sasso, Cassandra Potenza, Verity Marks, Ayo Solanke, Alexandre Martin Deakin, Bradley Sawatzky Writers: Carter Blanchard and Eli Craig, based on the novel by Adam Cesare Director: Eli Craig Distributor: IFC Films/RLJE Films/Shudder Release Date: May 9, 2025 CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD is based on the novel by Adam Cesare. It is deliberately patterned as a retro slasher, even though the bulk of the action takes place in the present. A preliminary sequence is set in 1991. There is a big red barn surrounded by a field […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Nicolas Cage, Julian McMahon, Finn Little, Rahel Romahn, Nic Cassim, Alexander Bertrand, Rory O’Keefe, Justin Rosniak, Miranda Tapsell, Brenda Meaney, Patsy Knapp Writer: Thomas Martin Director: Lorcan Finnegan Distributor: Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions Release Date: May 2, 2025 Every film deserves to be evaluated on its own merits. However, with certain filmmakers, and those actors who have enough clout to choose and shape their own projects, it’s hard not to have certain expectations. This is the case with films starring Nicolas Cage. Cage appears in a lot of movies that encompass multiple genres, playing characters who are miserable and/or […]Read On »

A quick Google search turns up a description of it as “the dark side of Santeria.” Palo Mayombe looms large in ROSARIO, which begins with the onscreen information: “The path of Palo is one of sacrifice. As with all religions, in Palo there exists light and darkness.” The onscreen information then […]Read On »
