Regretting You

When you see as many movies as I do, whether out of critical obligation or personal fulfillment or both, you tend to experience a lot of tonal whiplash. And it doesn’t get much more whiplash-inducing than the one-two punch of the semi-lighthearted satirical conspiracy thriller Bugonia and Regretting You, a tragedy-tinged romance based on a Colleen Hoover novel. Both are arriving in theaters on October 24 (Regretting You in wide release, while Bugonia will begin limited and then expand on the 31st). One of them is perfect for Spooky Season in an oddball sort of way, while the other would seem more at home around Valentine’s Day. With all that in mind, I’ll structure this two-for-one review around the question of whether or not they could possibly make for a successful date night double feature.

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

Good Boy: I love dogs, and I love horror movies. Good Boy combines these two great passions of mine. There have been other canine-based scary flicks before, but I’m hearing that this one is among the best.

Good Boy will be sitting in theaters October 3.
