Rating: R Stars: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Amy Madigan, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Benedict Wong, Cary Christopher, Toby Huss, Whitmer Thomas, Clayton Ferris, Callie Schuttera, Justin Long Writer: Zach Cregger Director: Zach Cregger Distributor: Warner Bros./New Line Cinema Release Date: August 8, 2025 WEAPONS has a climactic sequence so striking, so perfect in its contemporary fairytale horror, that we wonder if writer/director Zach Cregger didn’t start with this and build backwards. As it is, Cregger presents us with a major what’s-going-on-here mystery at the outset, which is revealed in segments, each devoted to a different character’s point of view. An […]Read On »

THE NAKED GUN movie poster | ©2025 Paramount Pictures

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Danny Huston, Kevin Durand, CCH Pounder Writers: Dan Gregor & Doug Mand & Akiva Schaffer Director: Akiva Schaffer Distributor: Paramount Release Date: August 1, 2025 As the saying goes, comedy is hard. As a less concise saying might go, comedy honoring a previous comedy that was released thirty-seven years ago, in the style of that earlier film but still funny for modern audiences, is harder. Rather remarkably, the new iteration of THE NAKED GUN – not a remake, but rather a sequel to the earlier films – mostly succeeds. In […]Read On »

ET TU movie poster | ©2025 Buffalo 8 Productions

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Lou Diamond Phillips, Malcolm McDowell, Antwone Barnes, Isabella Blake-Thomas, Rachel Alig, Brennan Keel Cook, Jaclyn Mofid, Trevor James, Timothy Patrick Cavanaugh Writer: Max Tzannes Director: Max Tzannes Distributor: Buffalo 8 Productions Release Date: July 25, 2025 (VOD) ET TU is a very dark theatrical horror comedy that succeeds in large part because writer/director Max Tzannes and his leading man Lou Diamond Phillips understand the value of quiet exasperation. While the film revolves around Shakespeare, this is not THEATER OF BLOOD – although there winds up being quite a lot of blood in the theatre. Phillips plays […]Read On »
