Billy Eichner executive produces and stars in this romantic comedy as Bobby, a man with commitment issues who pursues a relationship with Aaron Shepard (Luke Macfarlane), a man with his own share of hangups about being in a relationship. It is among the first gay romantic comedies to be released by a major studio and features an openly LGBTQ principal cast.<\/p>\n

From our review:<\/p>\n

\n

Eichner’s best when his ravings are instigated by more organic means. That can mean pushing his way through a crowd of clubgoers (\u201cTHEY WON’T STOP VOGUEING!\u201d) or finding himself incapable of not having the last word when Aaron’s mother, an elementary school teacher, says second graders are too young to learn about queer history. He’s also, as it turns out, a fairly tender romantic lead with a lovely singing voice, delivering an eleventh-hour musical performance that feels like an instant rom-com classic, even if its meaning (some sort of convoluted subversion of Lin-Manuel’s \u201cLove is love is love is love\u201d speech, about how \u201clove is not actually love\u201d) remains murky at best.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The School for Good and Evil, <\/em>the 2022 fantasy film based on Soman Chainani’s 2013 novel of the same name, reads like the premise of the Harry Potter series fed through a juice processor. Just replace \u201cHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry\u201d with \u201cThe School for Good and Evil,\u201d switch out Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy with two childhood friends named Sophie and Agatha, and substitute in professor Clarissa Dovey (Kerry Washington) and Lady Leonora Lesso (Charlize Theron) for Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape and voil\u00e0 \u2014 the same great YA fantasy taste with no problematic pulp!<\/p>\n

From our review:<\/p>\n

\n

The School for Good and Evil<\/em> is a fairy tale for people who love fairy tales, but who also want to see them dissected and weighed thoughtfully. It’s a fairy tale where the witchy outcast girl can be a hero, and the girl who wants to be a princess falls in love with her inner dark side. It’s a fairy tale for those who know that one of the most powerful and most underrated forms of true love is the friendship between two teenage girls. For anyone who scribbled indulgent stories about princesses and witches in the margins of their middle school notes and reread fairy-tale retellings over and over again, every minute is a joy. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brad Pitt stars in this action thriller as a repentant hitman codenamed \u201cLadybug\u201d trying to complete an assignment aboard a high-speed train to Kyoto while surrounded by a bunch of goofy, eccentric assassins looking to kill him.<\/p>\n

From our review:<\/p>\n

\n

cartoonish as it is, Bullet Train<\/em> is committed to letting its core cast make as big an impression as they can through quirks and fights, as Olkewicz’s knotty script ping-pongs between past and present. The film is presented as a mystery \u2014 there’s a John Wick-style legend of a Russian gangster who rose through the ranks of the Japanese underworld, and it ties into several characters’ backstories. But really, the story is more of a bloody series of Rube Goldberg machines, each activating in turn, then pausing every now and then to tip over another inanimate object. Inevitably, it’ll bite someone in the ass \u2014 usually Ladybug.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A young woman named Bee (Maria Bakalova) and her girlfriend, Sophie (Amandla Stenberg), are invited out to a hurricane party at a secluded mansion by Sophie’s friends: a spoiled group of rich 20-somethings with a penchant for drama. Upon playing a find-the-killer murder-mystery party game, the group quickly learns that a real killer is in their midst.<\/p>\n

From our review:<\/p>\n

\n

Bodies Bodies Bodies<\/em> starts to play like a compressed Scream<\/em>, sped up as if the filmmakers believe they’re playing to a generation that can’t keep both eyes on a full-length feature film. The filmmakers make the compelling choice to ratchet up both the bloodshed and the absurdity in tandem. Rather than letting satire give way to horror-movie tension, they make the recriminations and defensiveness increasingly louder and more ridiculous as the characters feel more endangered. At one point, mortal peril is interrupted by the equally shocking betrayal that one friend may be hate-listening to another’s podcast.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unbeknownst to Mark, Henry is in fact a key suspect in one of the largest organized manhunts in Australia’s history.<\/p>\n
