An unsettling triptych of stories that hits all of the director’s high notes: macabre and funny, yet also disturbing and cruel.
“MaXXXine”
There’s plenty of blood and gore to appease slasher fanatics along with hefty themes about sex, opportunity, religion, and Hollywood’s dark underbelly.
“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”
An enjoyable (if predictable) ride for those looking to revisit old friends and relive the magic of the original films.
“Despicable Me 4”
Move along: there’s nothing original to see here.
“The Everything Pot”
One of those movies that’s easy to digest but instantly forgettable, and that’s okay because it doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is: a fun little diversion.
“The Bikeriders”
Romanticizes masculinity in a way that’s reminiscent of classic Hollywood, which is a refreshing surprise.
