Overall, “Kingdom” is visually stunning as the technology to create its ape characters only gets better with time. While its ending poses the basis for a new storyline, it doesn’t have the same creative or enthusiastic vibe as the first three films.

Overall, you probably should not watch “Late Night with the Devil” right before you go to bed.

Overall, the film is a sweet story that will make you laugh and, happily, cry.  With the summer blockbuster season about to begin, “IF” is a true family film that I hope doesn’t get lost at the multiplex.

From the strange and wicked and peculiar mind of Greek mastermind Yorgos Lanthimos comes another disquieting new film that will disturb even more people. Only a few months after premiering Poor Things at the 2023 Venice Film Festival (here's my review of that one), Lanthimos is back on the festival circuit with his next film titled Kinds of Kindness. It's nearly three hours in total and instead being of one, long film it's three different stories cut together into a triptych feature that plays more like a mashup of funky "Black Mirror" ideas than something more straightforward. As expected with Lanthimos, it's proper mindfuckery of the highest order. Three weird stories that most probably won't enjoy watching because they're so strange and unsettling and don't follow the typical cinematic narratives most are familiar with. In fact, I'd say Kinds of Kindness is Yorgos Lanthimos's Twilight Zone. Sort of? Maybe? Many bizarre things happening in each of the stories that may or may not involve the supernatural.

"Why are humans so obsessed with recreating themselves?" GKids Films has revealed a new official trailer for the 4K re-release of the sci-fi anime classic Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, a highly regarded sequel to the seminal anime Ghost in the Shell (1995). This is one of the only animated movies to ever premiere in the Main Competition at the Cannes Film Festival, screening there in 2004 after first opening in Japan. In the year 2032, Batô, a cyborg detective for the anti-terrorist unit Public Security Section 9, investigates the case of a female robot – created solely for sexual pleasure – who slaughtered her owner. Acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii pushes further into the world and concepts first developed in his groundbreaking GITS. With its thought-provoking speculations on artificial intelligence, which have only become more relevant in our present world, Innocence celebrates its 20th anniversary returning to cinemas in a lustrous 4K restoration. With the voices of Akio Ōtsuka, Atsuko Tanaka, Kōichi Yamadera, & Tamio Ōki. I'm a HUGE fan of this, especially because it has a doggie ...
