Rating: PG-13 Stars: Lulu Wilson, Omari Hardwick, Wrenn Schmidt, Trae Romano, Josh Cooke, Paul Schneider, Garrett van der Leun Writer: Matthew Loren Oates Director: Matthew Loren Oates Distributor: Blue Fox Entertainment Release Date: September 19, 2025 The alien is bigger and scarier, and the situations become darker, but XENO in essence is a variation on E.T. Fifteen-year-old Renee Rowan (Lulu Wilson) lives in an isolated house with her widowed mom Linda (Wrenn Schmidt) outside a medium-sized town in the New Mexico desert. Linda’s alcoholic boyfriend Chase (Paul Schneider) technically has his own place, but always seems to be there, picking […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Chloë Levine, Will Peltz, Peter Vack, Clarissa Thibeaux, Grace Van Dien, Gillian White, Kio Cyr, Bries Vannon, Emily Mei, Billy Kottkamp, Draya Michele, Johnathon Schaech Writer: Racheal Cain Director: Racheal Cain Distributor: Yellow Veil Pictures Release Date: August 29, 2025 (theatrical), September 9, 2025 (VOD) Sometimes it’s hard for a movie to effectively cover and combine all of its disparate topics. This is the case with SOMNIUM, which presents us with three intertwined plotlines: one is a science-fiction/horror thriller, one is a trying-to-make-it-in-Hollywood tale, and one is a retrospective look at lost love. We meet Gemma […]Read On »

The title of RESET refers to a temporal phenomenon that has been happening to unfortunate farmer Lucas (Adam Holley) ever since his nine-year-old daughter Eden (Lorelai Brown) was abducted by aliens. The aliens have done something […]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: THE ABANDON

THE ABANDON Key Art | ©2024 Lionsgate

Rating: R Stars: Jonathan Rosenthal, Tamara Perry, Regis Terencio Writer: Dwain Worrell Director: Jason Satterlund Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: July 19, 2024 (theatrical); July 30, 2024 (VOD) THE ABANDON is a fairly engaging science-fiction film that is mostly set in a single room. Not to worry – the scenery doesn’t get boring. Under Jason Satterlund’s direction, there is a sense of propulsion and suspense as the room keeps changing its configurations, gravity, and magnetism. THE ABANDON isn’t all minimalism, either. We begin in a war zone, with tanks and artillery continually firing and planes dropping bombs. On the ground, things […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, Cleopatra Coleman, Jalil Lespert, Thomas Kretschmann, Amanda Brugel, John Ralston, Caroline Boulton, Jeffrey Ricketts Writer: Brandon Cronenberg Director: Brandon Cronenberg Distributor: Neon Release Date: January 27, 2023 INFINITY POOL is one of those movies that requires reviewers to watch the trailer after the fact, in order to know what’s being revealed to prospective audiences, and what still constitutes a spoiler. In this case, the trailer discloses that we enter the realm of science fiction early on. INFINITY POOL starts in utter blackness, as married couple James (Alexander Skarsgård) and Em (Cleopatra Coleman) muse […]Read On »
