Disclosure Day is a fun, adventurous summer thriller about extra-terrestrials, but it’s also an allegory for our violent response when faced with new truths.

The Easy Kind is a beautifully made film. Cook is a talented songwriter, musician, and singer. Chevigny makes a strong effort with quality production values, cinematography, and unassailable editing, artfully stitching together reality and fiction. This is where the film shines.

Mother Mary is an art film at its core, and will not suit everyone’s palette, but for the audience it connects with, there’s a beautiful journey from sorrow to confession and possible absolution.

Normal is action-centric brain candy, with some pokes at timely social/political topics. It’s not that heavy, however, this film won’t change your life. It will allow you to relax into catharsis and put a smile on your face.

Managing expectations is key to enjoying what, at its core, is a heartfelt journey of finding real connection in a fake world. Relax and enjoy how Maureen gets her groove back.

Despite the flaws in the script, Pattinson and Zendaya deliver their roles beautifully.

The Bride is a delightfully insane romp that falls short of landing its message in mayhem. But what glorious mayhem it is.

The performances are understated and quiet, presented in dark cinematography, where most of the action happens in shadow. There are too many characters to keep track of, which dilutes the story, and it’s not always clear what is happening, but in the finale, it all comes down to one key idea about not breaking the rules.

Even if this doesn’t wind up being your favorite version of the film, it’s worth seeing Fennell’s updated take.

Crime 101 will get your pulse pounding on a wild ride.
