Produced by Sam Raimi and directed by Lee Cronin, Evil Dead Rise is the fourth installment of the Evil Dead franchise.
Set in a city high-rise building, two sisters, played by Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan, fight for survival against many demons unleashed by Necronomicon. This supernatural book holds dark powers.
Using their resources and skills, the sisters stay alive, preventing the evil from spreading beyond the building.
The comedy-horror aspect of the film may prove entertaining.
Calmatic directs this remake, White Men Can’t Jump, making it a contemporary story about racial differences in athletes.
The movie stars Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow as a pair of hustlers who team up on the court.
Charlie Day directs and stars in this satirical comedy about a down-on-his-luck publicist, played by Ken Jeong. He discovers a recently released mental health patient, played by Charlie Day, whom he hopes will reboot his career.
The person with a mental health condition replaces a misbehaving movie star that looks just like him. The publicist substitutes him into the film, creating a new star. Despite the publicist’s decision to name him “Latte,” fame and fortune failed to bring the fulfillment he had hoped for.
Fool’s Paradise has a stellar cast, including Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, the late Ray Liotta, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, John Malkovich, Common and Jillian Bel.
Fool’s Paradise may be the late Liotta’s last film since he passed away after the film had wrapped production.
Poking fun at a mental health patient is not very kind and has nothing to do with a story about “anyone” can find success in the film business. The storyline steals from The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain.
Let’s find movies that expose the atrocities psychiatrists administer to these poor people in the name of “help.”
Written by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Chris McKenna, and Erik Sommers, Dexter Fletcher directed Ghosted.
A decent guy, Cole, played by Chris Evans, falls head over heels for enigmatic Sadie, played by Ana de Armas. In the romantic comedy, Cole discovers that Sadie is a secret agent.
Cole and Sadie become swept away on an international adventure to save the world before deciding on a second date.
Directed by Benjamin Renner, Migration is a modern-day comedy following a family of ducks who convince their overprotective father to go on the vacation of a lifetime as they attempt to migrate from New England through New York City. Somehow, they ultimately end up down in the Bahamas.

When Audrey’s (Park) business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of Lolo (Cola), her irreverent childhood best friend who also is a hot mess. Other friends are Kat (Hsu), her college friend turned Chinese soap star and Deadeye (Wu), Lolo’s eccentric cousin.
Their no-holds-barred, epic experience becomes a journey of bonding, friendship, belonging, and wild debauchery that reveals the universal truth of what it means to know and love who you are.
Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star as estranged friends who reunite to seek revenge on the petulant widower, played by Malcolm McDowell, of their recently deceased best friend.
Along the way, Fonda’s character reunites with her great love, played by Richard Roundtree, as each woman learns to make peace with the past and each other.
Weiz wrote the script because Fonda and Tomlin asked him to write a movie they could star. Weitz said he wrote the story with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in mind as Claire and Evelyn, two pals who come together to get back at their friend’s partner after she passes away.
Tomlin has worked with Weitz previously on Admission and Grandma and has found that the filmmaker is “very open and supportive.”
Fonda also enjoys Weitz’s work, recalling, “I also watched American Pie and About a Boy and really liked Paul’s work, his sensibility.”
She viewed her character as an opportunity to stray a bit from the pure comedic roles she had been doing recently and “thought the script was really intriguing with the interesting play between comedy and tragedy.”
Weitz adds, “I like making movies about mature people who are still changing and becoming something new. Particularly women like Lily and Jane, who are so sharp and funny and loaded for bear.”
He further explains, giving more insight into his artistic approach, “I looked at this as a western, to some degree, with a gunslinger coming to town to get revenge on a man who wronged her, and saddling up with her old friend to help her.”
When Weitz writes a film, he usually thinks of a couple of scenes and then builds out from there instead of being set on making a film about something in particular. “There’s a phenomenological aspect to writing (and acting) that makes one simultaneously the creator and observer if you’re doing it properly,” Weitz notes.
Sharing his philosophy, “In this case, it was Jane walking up to Malcolm and saying ‘I’m going to kill you this weekend’ and wondering why, and then Lily interrupting his eulogy.”
