Neil Jordan's new detective movie "Marlowe," starring Liam Neeson, is the director's first since "Greta" in 2018. Jordan may be one of the moodiest filmmakers working, and the smoky mysteries of film noir seem especially suited to his skills. "Marlowe" does indeed feature the famous P.I. created by Raymond Chandler in his 1939 novel "The Big Sleep," but it is not based on any of Chandler's works. Instead, the screenplay, by William Monahan ("The Departed") is based on a spinoff Marlowe novel called "The Black-Eyed Blonde" by John Banville. True to the genre, "Marlowe" is about the eponymous detective's search for the ex-lover of a rich heiress (Diane Kruger). A notable piece of trivia: "Marlowe" constitutes Neeson's 100th official screen credit.
As of this writing, "Marlowe" is not enjoying the best reviews (it currently has a 23 approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes), but fans of film noir would do well to...

The kids aren’t ok in Sebastian Godwin’s domestic thriller Homebound, which is now streaming on Bloody Disgusting’s Screambox.
Homebound follows “Holly (Aisling Loftus), a young woman who travels with her new husband (Tom Goodman-Hill) to meet his estranged family, only to find his ex-wife is missing and the children behaving in strange ways.”
Meagan Navarro reviewed the film out of Fantastic Fest, writing that “Homebound is a slight but tension-filled domestic thriller.”
She adds: “Through its mood-driven atmosphere, performances, and scant runtime, Homebound never overstays its welcome.”
This month’s Screambox titles include two classic Warner Bros. titles, an extremely rare Bollywood remake of Wes Craven’s Scream, and two brand new Screambox Originals. Get all the deets here.
Newly added Screambox titles also include Dawning, Signal 100, In Dreams, and Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow as well as Warner Bros. classics Killer Party and Body Snatchers!
