Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson, Ally Me

Universal Pictures

Director: Kat Coiro
Stars: Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Sarah Silverman, Maluma, Michelle Buteau
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Music
Rating: PG-13
Metacritic score: 51

There's no assistance for people who don't see the joy in Marry Me. It'south a classic Jennifer Lopez rom-com, with J. Lo essentially playing herself — uh, sorry, she plays Kat Valdez, a famous pop star who gets stood up by her fiancé (played past Maluma) on the nighttime of their livestreamed hybrid concert/wedding ceremony (normal!) and picks a random regular Brooklyn dad (Owen Wilson) out of the audition to ally instead. And wouldn't you know it, they fall in beloved for real. But they alive in two unlike worlds! Listen, I didn't say it broke the mold, I just said I had a good time watching it.[ Trailer ]

No Time to Die (2021)

For fans of: Bond...James Bond

Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas, No Fourth dimension to Die

MGM

Director: Cary Fukunaga
Stars: Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Ana de Armas, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Lashana Lynch, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw
Genre: Action, Adventure, Thriller
Rating: PG-13
Metacritic score: 68

No Time to Die is neither the best nor the worst Daniel Craig Bond movie, but it does marker his terminal appearance every bit the character, which makes information technology significant. It's a lengthy, stylish, occasionally inexplicable film that picks upwardly after Bond has left agile service with MI6 and is just trying to enjoy living a quiet life equally a normal, extraordinarily handsome human being. But you tin can't make a Bond pic nearly that, so information technology's all very speedily disrupted when the CIA recruits him to hunt down a mysterious and dangerous villain (Rami Malek).

The Twilight movie series

For fans of: The internet, vampires, CGI babies, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson,Twilight

Stars: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner
Genre: Drama, Thriller, Fantasy, Romance
Rating: PG-xiii
Metacritic score: 56, 44, 58, 45, 52

What is there to say about Twilight that hasn't already been said? Stephanie Meyer'south teen vampire romance books were adapted into a five-picture franchise that defined the tardily 2000s/early 2010s, introducing u.s. to the love story between human high school pupil Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her undead young man Edward (Robert Pattinson), but most chiefly, these are the films that inspired a thousand memes. When people say "and so bad information technology's skilful," they're talking almost Twilight. [ Trailer ]

Emergency (2022)

RJ Cyler and Donald Elise Watkins, Emergency

Amazon Studios

Manager: Carey Williams
Stars: Sabrina Carpenter, Donald Elise Watkins, RJ Cyler
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 75

This Amazon moving-picture show will likely become lost in the racket of the high-profile releases, but do non let it slip by if yous're a fan of political party comedies. The indie picture show follows a pair of young Black college seniors (RJ Cyler and Donald Elise Watkins) set to let loose in a string of parties before spring break when they find an unconscious white girl in their apartment, with no idea how she got there. Realizing the bad optics of the state of affairs, they (and their Latino roommate) set out to return her to safety without their good intentions beingness misinterpreted. The pic got great reviews when information technology did the festival excursion earlier this year. -Tim Surette  [ Trailer ]

Stefania Rosini/Amazon Studios

Managing director: Janus Metz Pederson
Stars: Thandiwe Newton, Chris Pino, Jonathan Pryce, Laurence Fishburne
Genre: Drama, Thriller
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 63

All the Sometime Knives sounds like aKnives Out sequel set up in a nursing home (that'due south a free idea for Rian Johnson), just it'due south really a thriller starring Chris Pino and Thandiwe Newton as spies who are also ex-lovers. I have no complaints near that concept. Based on the novel of the aforementioned name by Olen Steinhauer, who wrote the flick's screenplay, the picture show follows Pino's Henry Pelham as his investigation into a CIA mole becomes entangled in his history with Newton's Celia. Laurence Fishburne and Jonathan Pryce likewise star. Pine promoted this 1 in a series of to-die-for outfits. -Kelly Connolly  [ Trailer ]

Master (2022)

Regina Hall, Principal

Sundance Constitute

Director: Mariama Diallo
Stars: Regina Hall, Amber Grayness, Zoe Renee
Genre: Drama/Horror
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 67

The buzz out of Sundance and SXSW is that Regina Hall gives ane of the all-time performances of her career in this horror movie virtually racism in the vein ofGet Out. She plays a professor at a prestigious, predominately white New England academy with a historical connection to the Salem Witch Trials and a legacy of racism that continues into the nowadays. She, a Black first-year student (Zoe Renee), and another Black faculty member (Bister Grey) experience racism at the school every bit a literal haunting. It'due south an assured debut film from author-manager Mariama Diallo (a Yale graduate) that's adept at scares and social commentary.-Liam Mathews  [ Trailer ]

Maggie Q and Michael Keaton, The Protégé

Lionsgate

Manager: Martin Campbell
Stars: Maggie Q, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson
Genre: Action, Thriller, Criminal offense
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 48

Look, if you tell me Maggie Q is starring in an action movie, I'm pretty much already on board. Here, she stars as a contract killer who vows to get brutal, bloody revenge on the people who killed her mentor (Samuel L. Jackson). Forth the manner, she becomes entangled in a game of cat and mouse with another ruthless criminal (Michael Keaton), and the two of them have such effortless chemical science it'll make you lot forget well-nigh the motion-picture show's shortcomings.The Protégé received middling reviews when it was released in theaters, simply the fight scenes are well choreographed spectacles that make information technology the ideal sentinel when you want to turn your brain off. -Allison Picurro [ Trailer ]

Sam Claflin and Verónica Echegui, Book of Beloved

Amazon Studios

Director: Analeine Cal y Mayor
Stars: Sam Claflin, Verónica Echegui
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Metacritic score: 44

In this silly, sweet romantic comedy, Sam Claflin plays the kind of character Hugh Grant would've played back in the '90s: an uptight British romance author who learns that his latest (and non very good) novel has become a huge hit in Mexico, spurring him to travel there for a volume tour. He only realizes later he arrives that the Castilian version of his book has actually been rewritten into a much spicier story that's way more interesting than his original story, all cheers to Maria (Verónica Echegui), the woman who translated it. This is the kind of classic rom-com premise that I tin can't help existence utterly endeared by.[ Trailer ]

Sorkin wrote and directedBeing the Ricardos, a biopic followingI Love Lucy'southward Ball and Arnaz during a disquisitional moment in their careers when Ball was accused of being a communist and the gossip rags wondered if their human relationship was on the fritz. Early on reviews are middling, simply the draw here is watching Nicole Kidman equally Ball and Javier Bardem as Arnaz, accompanied by J.M.

Riz Ahmed follows up his Oscar-nominated plow in concluding yr'sThe Sound of Metal with this paranoid sci-fi thriller that looks like a mix ofTake Shelter andWar of the Worlds.

Bridegroom Cumberbatch plays the eccentric late 19th and early 20th century artist Louis Wain, known for his cat portraits, who falls for his sisters' governess (Claire Foy), in this fanciful biographical drama. Reviews for the film have been polite just rarely glowing — which is to exist expected from a picture created and directed by the dark and whimsical Will Sharpe (Flowers) — but it's got Benedict Cumberbatch and cats, so in that location are a lot of very online people who will certainly love it.

This romantic comedy is based on the bodily love story between Kumail Nanjiani and his wife, Emily Five. Gordon. Nanjiani plays the fictionalized version of himself while Zoe Kazan plays the fictionalized version of Emily, whose sudden diagnosis with adult-onset Still's affliction — and the coma she falls into — throws a major wrench into their burgeoning relationship. While Kumail and Emily's story is undoubtedly the thing that drivesThe Big Ill, Ray Romano and Holly Hunter, who play Emily's parents, are the movie's grounding forces. You'll probably walk away from this mostly wishing they could adopt you.[Trailer]

Genre: Fantasy, Comedy, Romance, Family, Musical
Rating: PG
Metacritic score: 41

Did we need some otherCinderellare-telling? Probably non, but hither's this movie anyhow. In this latest version, Camila Cabello plays the fairy tale heroine, now going by simply "Ella," as an aspiring fashion designer with big dreams the traditional society she lives in simply isn't fix for. She gets help from her fairy godparent (Billy Porter), pushes back against her evil stepmother (Idina Menzel), and belts out a lot of classic popular tunes you already know, because this confounding movie is besides a jukebox musical. If all of that doesn't turn yous off, you're definitely ready forCinderella, girlboss edition. Information technology's non "good," per se, only the baffling choices will certainly make you laugh. This could exist a new camp classic in the making.[Trailer]

Annette (2021)

Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, Annette

Amazon Studios

Director: Leos Carax
Stars: Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Simon Helberg, Devyn McDowell
Genre: Drama, Romance, Musical
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 67

If you care at all virtually flick festivals, you've probably already heard ofAnnette, but if you lot haven't, listen carefully: This is a musical where Adam Driver, speaking in an fifty-fifty lower register than usual, plays Henry, a stand-upwards comedian who falls in love with Marion Cotillard'southward Ann, an opera singer. Their human relationship declines after the nativity of their mysteriously prodigious daughter Annette (who is played, confoundingly, by a puppet), and from there it becomesA Star Is Born past way ofMarriage Story, just with a touch of surrealism. Information technology's a fast-paced, hallucinatory rollercoaster that is certainly not for everyone, but will definitely have yous walk abroad reeling.[ Trailer ]

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)

For fans of: Sequels, the way Borat says "my wiiiiife"

Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

Amazon Studios

Genre: One-act
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 68

It's difficult non to exist wary when a love character is resurrected for a second go-around years subsequently, butBorat Subsequent Moviefilm (total titleBorat Subsequent Moviefilm: Commitment of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Do good Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan) is the rare sequel that works. Sacha Baron Cohen returns as Kazakh announcer Borat, and the international fame he's racked up since the offset film has hurt more than than helped his home country. In an attempt to redeem Republic of kazakhstan, he returns back to America with the hopes of delivering a gift to former President Donald Trump (this movie was released right before the 2020 election, which does absolutely give some of the jokes a ten-2d expiration engagement), but more compelling than all of that is Borat'south legitimately sweet relationship with his daughter, Tutar (Maria Bakalova, who admittedly earned the Oscar nomination she received for her functioning), who accompanies him on his mission, much to his chagrin. Honestly, the Rudy Giuliani stuff is the least interesting thing about this movie. It'southward good! Wa wa wee wa indeed.[Trailer]

Become Duked! (2019)

Director: Ninian Doff
Stars: Eddie Izzard, Kate Dickie, Samuel Bottomley, Viraj Juneja, Rian Gordon, Lewis Gribben
Genre: Activity, Horror, Comedy, Music
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 69

This 2019 British black one-act film will hands remind yous of Danny Boyle'southward bonkers classicTrainspotting, and it should: three Scottish teens with a knack for partying and doing drugs get into trouble. InGet Duked!, they're joined past a exercise-gooder and wander the Highlands to win the Knuckles of Edinborough Award, a survival claiming that turns boys into men, simply they get stuck in the heart of a chase-or-be-hunted situation with Eddie Izzard playing a psycho with a sniper burglarize. Believe it or non, it gets weirder from there. Hilarious, ridiculous, and packed with social commentary, this would be regular viewing in weed fume-filled dorm rooms of the late-'90s. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

The Handmaiden (2016)

For fans of: Deception, but in a sexy way

Amazon Studios

Managing director: Chan-wook Park
Stars: Kim Min-hee, Kim Tae-ri, Ha Jung-woo, Cho Jin-woong
Genre: Drama, Thriller, Romance
Rating: Not rated
Metacritic score: 84

The Handmaiden is one of those movies where every character is scamming some other character, resulting in an exciting, dramatic thriller. It starts out as a film about a Korean con man (Ha Jung-woo) who devises a pan to seduce a Japanese heiress (Kim Min-hee) out of her inheritance. He enlists the help of a pickpocket (Kim Tae-ri) to act equally the heiress' maid and confidant, tasking her with encouraging matrimony betwixt the 2. Things brainstorm to get more unsafe as deeper relationships develop in the messy, intertwined trio, which is all I want to say without actually spoiling the plot's genius twists. What you should know going in is that this movie was directed past Park Chan-wook, who gave us the brutal, encarmineOldboy, so you should await some gruesome imagery. [Trailer]

Jolt (2021)

For fans of: Kate Beckinsale violently brutalizing goons

Kate Beckinsale, Jolt

Amazon Studios

Director: Tanya Wexler
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Bobby Cannavale, Laverne Cox, Stanley Tucci, Jai Courtney
Genre: Action, One-act
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 48

Kate Beckinsale could have coasted in her career and played a lonely unmarried mom who gets wooed by a hunk in various rom-coms, but thank god she's decided to be a butt-kicking activity hero instead. InJolt, she plays a adult female with a unique condition that you lot'll just find in movies: If she doesn't electroshock herself with a custom-fabricated harness, she loses her atmosphere and starts to beat the sh-- out of anybody. Allow'southward just say she doesn't always become the jolt she needs in time... a lot. There'south also a scene in which she throws babies, and there are many swift kicks to the groin. Impaired fun, good time. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Metacritic score: 70

Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson star in this extremely sweet-hearted picture show, written by Kaling, nigh a talk show host (played by Thompson) whose popularity is waning as she ages. To help freshen up her writers' room and stop the network from replacing her, she hires a new, inexperienced writer (Kaling). Some of the jokes and chore responsibilities admittedly delve a little too far into the inside baseball territory — a lot of importance is placed on Kaling's character becoming co-monologue author, for example — simply overall,Tardily Nighttime is a fun picture about the lengths women have to become to in order to be taken seriously in their careers.[Trailer]

For fans of: Learning about history without opening a book

One Child Nation

This award-winning documentary will teach you lot all near a painful affiliate in China'due south history via the one-child policy, which lasted from 1979 to 2015. Existent people who lived through such a devastating period speak on their experiences, and the film delves into the dissentious effects of authorities propaganda. Interestingly,1 Kid Nation is given a personal touch past co-director Nanfu Wang, who weaves stories of her own experience every bit a new female parent in with the documentary's overall narrative.[Trailer]

It's an interesting movie that succeeds in peeling back the drape on four pretty untouchable cultural icons, revealing more about their anxieties, inner lives, and ambitions than the boilerplate biopic would.[Trailer]

What do yous know about Pink? (Or, deplorable, P!nk, as she patently prefers to be addressed.) You're probably enlightened she has the voice of an angel, and that she actually, really loves singing while performing aerial tricks, merely yous might not know much across that. This documentary is a highly personal look into her life every bit a mother. Wait a lot of very sweetness scenes of her carting her young children effectually on bout, some emotional behind the scenes interviews, and to be blown away by her sheer vocal range.

Modest Axe is elevation prestige television in that it's not actually television at all, only instead it's an album collection of five films directed by Steve McQueen. Every installment focuses on London's West Indian community in the years between 1969 and 1982, and each stars a nifty group of actors that includes John Boyega, Letitia Wright, Jack Lowden, and more. The stories don't overlap, but they all practise a beautiful job of building out the earth, and deal with issues and themes that impact the community, like law brutality, education, and what information technology means to be office of British society as a person of West Indian descent. On i hand, yes, five films is a lot to enquire of viewers, only on the other, it just so happens that McQueen is an incredible director with a strong vision and every one is worth your time. If yous only desire to endeavour one, requite "Lovers Rock," a romance centered effectually a reggae house party, a spin.[Trailer]

For fans of: Heavy metal band t-shirts, being emotional

Amazon

Genre: Drama, Music
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 82

I am of the stance that Riz Ahmed gave the best performance of 2020 as a heavy metallic drummer losing his hearing inSound of Metallic, and he very correctly earned an Oscar nomination for it. As Ruben, he explores the emotional trauma of sudden deafness — literally, as it plays out in the film, ane infinitesimal he can hear perfectly, and the next everything is muffled — and the importance of finding community equally he goes to live in a rural dwelling for deafened recovering addicts in order, run past Joe (Paul Raci, likewise rightfully Oscar-nominated for his work).

Luca Guadagnino directs this remake of the 1977 Dario Argento horror classic. Dakota Johnson stars as Susie, a seemingly fresh-faced dancer who travels from Ohio to Berlin to study at an elite dance academy and is quickly named head dancer. As Suspiria unfolds, and as more students and teachers are plant expressionless or go missing entirely, and it becomes increasingly articulate that something very sinister and supernatural is going on underneath the surface. Also, Tilda Swinton plays three roles, and for one of them she gets to dress up as an quondam human.
