The new film starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor brings the dinosaurs back from the exotic islands to the perfect American suburb of the 80s - and finds there a successful combination of fantasy, horror, and action. With a relatively modest budget, precise period design, music that manages a dialogue with John Williams, and one family forced to survive in the Mesozoic era, the result is an...

The new Netflix film, produced by Adam Sandler, follows a girl who lands her dream role in a school production while coping with the devastating news of her mother's illness. Despite some narrative flaws, "Don't Say Good Luck" is a moving coming-of-age story.

Pedro Almodovar's new film, "Merry Christmas," is a pleasant but unfinished work—a film within a film that needed a few more drafts before production. But that's okay, because Almodovar likely already knows we thought that; he thought of it first.

Will Gluck, who directed "Anyone But You", returns with "Finish the Night" - and this time it also looks promising: the new romantic comedy, starring Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro, is a film that is all about great fun. At first, it toys with the viewers, then it surrenders to patterns - and the big surprise comes precisely from the soundtrack.

"Ice Cream Man" starts as a bloody horror comedy about an ice cream vendor who turns children into killing machines - and then reveals itself mainly as a display of synthetic aesthetics, effects that feel artificial, and violence that repeats itself to the point of numbness. Director Eli Roth even admitted that AI was used in part of the film, and when watching it, the suspicion arises that it...

He was a slightly different kid, dubbed "the freak of the grade," but Eli Roth didn't let anything stop him on the way to fulfilling his dream.
