Rating: R Stars: Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, Shylo Molina, Billie Roy, Veronica Falcón, Hayat Kamille, May Elghety, Emily Mitchell, Dean Allen Williams Writer: Lee Cronin Director: Lee Cronin Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: April 17, 2026 The intent behind the full title of LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY seems less to emphasize the writer/director, who is a very good filmmaker but not at present a marquee name, but rather to differentiate this MUMMY from the franchise starring Brendan Fraser or the one starring Tom Cruise. Nobody seeing more than the first fifteen minutes or so of LEE […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, Sian Clifford, FKA Twigs Writer: David Lowery Director: David Lowery Distributor: A24 Release Date: April 17, 2026 Written and directed by David Lowery, MOTHER MARY won’t be for everyone. There are a few first-act moments that will either resonate strongly with a viewer and cause them to be immersed, or else what follows will be at best a well-performed curiosity and at worst too deliberately paced and symbolic. MOTHER MARY begins by introducing us to our sometimes narrator Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), a fashion designer so successful that she’s got her […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, Charli XCX Writers: Isa Mazzei & Daniel Goldhaber, based on the Gorgon series Director: Daniel Goldhaber Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: April 10, 2026 1978’s FACES OF DEATH is an odd mixture of faked mayhem and real expirations. Written and directed by John Alan Schwartz (who wrote under the pseudonym Alan Black and directed as Conan LeCilaire), it purports to be the musings of pathologist Francis B. Gross (Michael Carr) on the transition between life and death. The movie combines staged and actual footage of accidents, executions, newsreels […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Kazunari Ninomiya, Yamato Kochi, Naru Asunuma, Kotone Hanase, Nana Komatsu Writers: Kentaro Hirase & Genki Kawamura, based on the video game THE EXIT 8 developed by Kotake Create Director: Genki Kawamura Distributor: Neon Release Date: April 10, 2026 (U.S. theatrical) Based on the hugely popular video game first released in 2023, EXIT 8 is surreal, symbolic and surprisingly immersive. Director Genki Kawamura and his co-screenwriter Kentaro Hinase, along with leading man Kazunari Ninomiya, deserve enormous credit for making something compelling out of challenging material. It’s generally difficult to make a good movie from a video game, but […]Read On »
