“On Swift Horses” is the kind of movie that rarely gets made anymore—because it's mostly morphed into prestige television found only on streaming services. Bright and vivid colors contrast the stark repression of 1950s America, as people tried to find their own version of the American dream—whatever that looked like.
This is the case for Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a shy,...
On May 2, Marvel Studios released their newest project, “Thunderbolts*” — with it a thunderous reminder that the studio still knows how to make stellar movies. After a streak of mixed reviews and oversaturated multiversal arcs, “Thunderbolts*” marks a pivot back to character-driven storytelling. It’s not just another ensemble movie; this is Marvel’s most emotionally attuned project. It’s reminiscent...
Time — or more specifically, the lack of time — is the recurring theme in director Andrew Ahn’s modern update of Ang Lee’s 1993 “The Wedding Banquet.” Lee (Lily Gladstone) is getting older and is running out of time to get pregnant, but In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is expensive and doesn’t seem to be working for her.

“The Monkey” is a film that shouldn't be taken seriously because the film doesn’t even take itself seriously. The film was directed and written by Osgood Perkins, fresh off his last hit film “Longlegs” in 2024. While “Longlegs” was more of a dark and serious film with certain humorous scenes, “The Monkey”...
Marvel Studios has had a rough couple of years. With every success, such as 2024’s “Deadpool And Wolverine” and 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” there comes a series of flops, such as 2021’s “Eternals” and 2023’s “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania.” Marvel has tried their best to make audiences care about their characters, and it has worked to some...
