Two sisters go diving at a remote location. An unexpected landslide sends rocks into the water and pins one of them deep in an underwater cave. Will one sister be able to save the other? It’s a solid single location survival thriller premise, but one that is unfortunately handled in a disappointingly bland way.

Bruce Lee’s martial arts spy adventure film turns 50 this year so we’re celebrating it with a conversation about what makes it so enjoyable and rewatchable, but also why it might be slightly overrated.

The Blue Beetle is likely an unfamiliar comic book character to many, so it’s a shame that Jaime Reyes’ origin story didn’t dive more into the decades of mythology that exist. The film’s biggest strength lies in its depiction of Latino culture and its family dynamics, but it suffers from horribly uninteresting antagonists and a lack of creativity. It’s entertaining enough to give a positive review, just don’t expect this to stick with you very long.

It may be a very adult and vulgar journey as three strays adopt Reggie and help him find his way home to seek revenge on his abusive owner, but it’s a non-stop hilarious one that dog lovers will have a great time taking. For me, it’s also peak Boston Terrier cinema, which cements it as one of my favorite films of the year.

Sailing for weeks on a ship with a hungry vampire sounds like a bad idea and turns out exactly how you’d expect it to in this lean telling of “The Captain’s Log” chapter of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. The constant atmosphere of dread and exquisite depiction of a late 1800s ship at sea are highlights in a very strong story about trying to survive in a confined space while being hunted by an unknown evil. Find out more about why I highly recommend this one in the review.

Almost every competitive gamer has at one point in their lives wondered what it would be like to do the sport or activity they dominate digitally in real life. For Jann Mardenborough that became a reality when the GT Academy and Nissan provided him an opportunity to go from sim racer to behind the wheel of an actual car. This incredible real life story is the backbone for PlayStation Studios’ adaptation of the beloved long-time racing franchise Gran Turismo, and I’m here to tell you that it makes for one heck of a crowd-pleasing good time at the theater, regardless of whether you’re familiar with the video game, a racing fan, or none of the above.

It’s new turtles for a new generation, with some twists on origin stories as well for both friends and foe. These teenagers act, talk, and look their age more than they ever have before and a dynamic but raw sketch-like art style makes for a visually interesting cinematic experience. There’s plenty of action and jokes to go around and we’re glad to report that this is one reboot we’re completely onboard for.

We’ve got turtle madness so before enjoying the newest animated adventure of the four ninja brothers next week, we decided to take a look back at a film we absolutely loved when we were both 11 years old. With its practical effects, puppets, and costumes, there’s some incredibly charming (and silly) about this version of the property, and we still find plenty worth praising that has held up just fine over 30 years and despite numerous new imaginings of the same characters.

The skateboarding, pizza-eating teenage mutant ninja turtles are back for a new generation in new animated film. Kicking off what is likely to be a multi-film and TV series franchise, this reboot quickly goes over the origin story and gets right into the dynamic action with the four brothers facing off against mutants that want to rule the world. It’s got modern jokes aplenty and a gorgeous stylistic animated style, resulting in a fantastic new introduction to one of the coolest crime-fighting teams ever imagined.
