Directed by Erik Bloomquist and written by the helmer and his brother Carson, SELF-HELP starts with a startling incident in which little Olivia (Marlee Eaton) sneaks away from her birthday party to see where her mother Rebecca (Amy Hargreaves) has gone. The upshot is […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Meghann Fahy, Brendan Sklenar, Violett Beane, Jacob Robinson, Reed Diamond, Gabrielle Ryan, Sarah McCormack, Jeffery Self, Ed Weeks, Ben Pelletier, Michael Shea Writers: Jillian Jacobs & Chris Roach Director: Christopher Landon Distributor: Universal Release Date: April 11, 2025 The title of DROP refers to a short text message. It also probably refers to the vertiginous setting of an upscale high-rise-topping restaurant, where much of the action takes place. DROP begins with a nasty bang. A woman (Meghann Fahy) is being brutally beaten, kicked, and threatened with a gun by a hysterical man (Michael Shea). We learn more […]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: R Stars: Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Harvey Guillén, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Rupert Friend Writer: Drew Hancock Director: Drew Hancock Distributor: Warner Bros./New Line Cinema Release Date: January 31, 2025 Since it’s implied in the poster and stated in the trailer, it’s probably not a huge spoiler to say that COMPANION centers on a human-like robot (most of us would consider her an android) named Iris (Sophie Thatcher). Iris is an emotional support companion, whose duties are not limited to but include enthusiastic sex with her owner. As it is also stated in the trailer and in the first […]Read On »
