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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Isaac Krasner, Dora Madison, David Johnson III, Taj Cross, Emily Deschanel, Marion Van Cuyck, Emma Broz, Jack De Sanz Writer: Corey Sherman Director: Corey Sherman Distributor: Dark Star Pictures Release Date: February 14, 2025 (streaming/digital) Written and directed by Corey Sherman, BIG BOYS skillfully, sensitively and humorously depicts the kind of life-changing event that sometimes even best friends may never discuss. This isn’t because of embarrassment, but because it’s so hard to put into words. We’re in Southern California. Fourteen-year-old Jamie (Isaac Krasner) is smart but socially awkward (and a bit of a hypochondriac). His slightly […]Read On »
