Three Naked Men (CREDIT: Paramount Pictures)

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 2025:

The Naked Gun: This is a silly comedy about Los Angeles’ Police Squad, the new version. You might have seen the Police Squad! TV show from 1982, or the Naked Gun movies from 1988, 1991, or 1994. Liam Neeson takes over Leading Man Duties from Leslie Nielsen.

The Naked Gun will fulfill its destiny in movie theaters on August 1.
