They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for December 2023:
American Fiction: Jeffrey Wright plays a novelist who’s really, really frustrated by racial stereotypes. So he attempts to totally lampoon them, and the results may not be exactly what he was expecting. This looks ferocious.
We’ll be able to check out some American Fiction in select American theaters on December 15 before it expands in the coming weeks.

Daaaaaaa Bears! (CREDIT: Universal Studios)
They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for October 2023:
The Exorcist: Believer: I kinda wish that the horror legacyquels directed by David Gordon Green attempted to incorporate the continuity of all the previous sequels instead of just being direct sequels to the originals. But I can’t deny that the “I don’t want to go to hell!” line from the trailer has really grabbed me by the collar.
You will believe that The Exorcist: Believer is in theaters beginning on October 6.

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for August 2023:

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for July 2023:
Cobweb: A horror movie about a mysterious creepy tapping on the wall. Lizzy Caplan plays the mom. The boy who hears the tapping is played by Woody Norman, but as far as I can tell, this doesn’t have anything to do with Cheers.
Cobweb will get tangled up in theaters on July 21.
