“All you need is kill” is sci‑fi anime at its most relentless and human
“All You Need Is Kill” doesn’t ease you into its world—it drops you straight into the wreckage and asks you to find your footing while everything is still burning. Set in the near-future year 20XX, the film imagines a Japan struggling to rebuild after the sudden appearance of Darol, a massive alien “flower” that feels less like an invader and more like an omen.
Old‑school justice, new‑school grit: “Oscar Shaw” is Michael Jai White at his best
Something is refreshing about an action film that doesn’t rush to explode everything on screen. Michael Jai White’s latest project, “Oscar Shaw,” quietly arrives on demand and showcases its influences, drawing from the lean, street-level thrillers of the 1970s.
“Anaconda” returns — and it’s way funnier (and smarter) than it has any right to be
Director Tom Gormican, in collaboration with writer Kevin Etten, leans hard into meta-humor, but does so with a light touch. Instead of being a remake or reboot, the story becomes a comedy about fandom, arrested development, and the desperate hope that finishing a long-abandoned dream might somehow straighten out adult life.
“The Housemaid” is sleek, silly, and sharply aware of its own appeal

Hayman and Kier Face Off in the Hauntingly Ambiguous “My Neighbor Adolf”
Director Leon Prudovsky’s latest film, My Neighbor Adolf, from Cohen Media Group, arrives with a premise that demands precision: set in Colombia shortly after Israel’s capture of Adolf Eichmann in 1960, the film centers on Mr. Polsky (David Hayman), a cantankerous Polish Holocaust survivor living in isolated rural exile. He tends his rose garden, plays solitary chess, and carries the weight of unspeakable loss.
Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal Ignite Netflix’s Twisty “His & Hers”
Netflix’s new psychological thriller, “His & Hers”, immerses us in the oppressive heat of Georgia, where former news anchor Anna (Tessa Thompson) has retreated into near-total isolation in Atlanta, allowing her career and friendships to deteriorate.
