They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for September 2024:
Speak No Evil: I’ve seen the trailer for this about 6 million times in the past few months. It’s a remake of a Danish film that I’ve heard good things about. James McAvoy looks creepy. There’s also a mini-Halt and Catch Fire reunion.
Movie theaters will Speak No Evil on September 13.

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for February 2024:
Lisa Frankenstein: The title of this movie is my favorite pun ever. As for the plot, Kathryn Newton reanimates the corpse of Cole Sprouse. Diablo Cody wrote the screenplay, while Zelda Williams (Robin’s daughter) makes her feature directorial debut.

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.
