The films of Andrea Arnold are always an experience. They take you through the highs and lows, the joy and sorrow, the raw sting of reality—everything that makes up the messiness of being alive.

It’s a solid time at the movies, but not something you’ll be thinking about long after the credits roll.

Heretic

Leo Brady

Heretic is one of the freshest horror films in recent memory. It’s a movie that sticks with you long after the credits roll, raising uncomfortable questions about belief, morality, and personal accountability.

Absolution
(2024)

Absolution prioritizes emotional depth over action. While it may be marketed as a new Taken, the film is a far richer experience.

Cellar Door
(2024)
|
Leo Brady
|
A concept like this could thrive in the hands of a Twilight Zone episode or a well-crafted Stephen King tale, but Cellar Door seems too hesitant to unleash its potential, opting instead to keep the intrigue locked away.

Woman of the Hour
(2023)
|
Leo Brady
|
Kendrick’s approach—highlighting the stories of his victims alongside the game show narrative—evokes comparisons to well-crafted true crime films like Zodiac and Boston Strangler. Woman of the Hour is a triumph of suspense and masterful storytelling.

MadS
(2024)
|
Leo Brady
|
It captures the sheer chaos of reality, an unpredictable sense of dread that has you eager for the next event, and as far as zombie movies go, this one is more alive than ever before. MadS is freaky great.

Venom: The Last Dance

Venom: The Last Dance attempts to provide a final stamp on this goofy saga, but only leaves us confused with bad jokes, lackluster CGI, and a mindless plot.

Little Bites
(2024)

What makes Little Bites more intriguing is its exploration of generational trauma, sacrifice, and the everyday struggles of women. While it may initially seem simplistic, this dark and engaging film leaves viewers with plenty to ponder.

Megalopolis
(2024)
|
Leo Brady

In many ways, Megalopolis is a distinctly American film, reflecting the complexities of our world since 2016. It succeeds as a cohesive piece of art rather than merely a movie.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
(2023)

Transformers One is an origin story, an adventure, the end of a friendship, and the beginning of a battle between transforming alien robots. It’s more than meets the eye; it’s not just mindless action—it’s a blast for the entire family.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice injects new life into Burton’s career with a delightful legacy sequel that’s fresh, full of ghoulish gags, and reaffirms that Beetlejuice is a character who can never truly die.

The film showcases Potsy Ponciroli’s genuine talent and the revival of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s comedic chops, making it a significant contribution to contemporary cinema. When a movie is this enjoyable, it’s easy to get Greedy for more.

Immaculate is a shocking and authentic kind of horror. It’s not tied to a series or universe, but going for the mainstream reality that the beliefs and views in place from religion will always be scarier than anything supernatural conjured up.
