There’s a moment in “Road House,” at a low point for Jake Gyllenhaal’s haunted ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer Dalton, where he’s been slapped around by crazed mob enforcer (Conor McGregor) and is ready to give up and leave. McGregor watches him go with a bloodthirsty grin (plus a lot of actual blood) on his face and says, “There’s something wrong with you. Me too.”
It’s a threat, a nod of respect, and a bit of a thesis for how the film’s action works. There’s something wrong (in the best way) with everyone in “Road House,” from the stars to the stunt team to director Doug Limon and cinematographer Henry Braham, who designed his own handheld gimbal that looks like a robotic arm and responds like a Steadicam’s stabilizers but is able to be thrown around a speedboat (presumably along with the...

I was never a fan of the original 1989 film starring Patrick Swayze, and a recent rewatch didn’t change that feeling. Thus, this remake of Road House had several elements in its favor: a cast led by one of my favorite actors of today, Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), as well as the current greatest Portuguese actress, Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad); a narrative open to multiple changes for the better; and a significant cultural, technological evolution in the stunts department, which carries much more weight in today’s industry.
Road House follows the basic premise of the movie it’s based on: a former UFC fighter, Dalton (Gyllenhaal), is hired by the owner of a bar to control the constant violence and damage to this popular spot in the Florida Keys. The main difference lies in the fact that instead of Dalton bringing bigger problems due to firing the son of someone dangerous,...

[Editor’s note: The following article contains spoilers for the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, plus “The Marvels” and its post-credits scene.]
It was a bad weekend at the box office — certainly not a “marvels-ous” one — as the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe, Nia DaCosta’s “The Marvels,” arrived in theaters and promptly walked away with a dismal $47 million domestic, $110 million worldwide opening, the worst opening for an MCU film ever. Also not helping: a B CinemaScore, which places the film in the bottom tier of MCU films by that metric as well (only two other MCU films have received that same grade: “Eternals” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”).
It’s unfortunate that DaCosta’s film — directed by a woman of color, featuring a female-centric story with a “diverse” cast of superheroes, and finding its best beats in humor and heart — will become inextricably linked with the “fall” of the MCU, because this kind of box office bust has long seemed inevitable for the ailing franchise.

After sinking at least 100 hours of my life over the last 15 years into watching all the Marvel Cinematic Universe films and some of the shows (to say nothing of any subsequent rewatches), there is something truly discomfiting about sitting in a massive IMAX theater to watch the newest Marvel film and the best scribble I can make in my critic’s notebook is “???”
At this point, it comes with the territory. Anyone unable to watch every single piece of Marvel-made content before catching the latest project must resign themselves to not getting every reference these days, or even most of them. We’re talking a staggering array of 33 feature films, 12 series (including over 400 total episodes), various post-credits scenes, a handful of short films, and more.
Tellingly, the most pleasurable moments in Nia DaCosta’s “The Marvels” don’t hinge on the audience having an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Marvel.

Stone age horrors will be unleashed in the upcoming The Origin, an intriguing new horror project that Bleecker Street is bringing to the ongoing Fantastic Fest this weekend.
Bleecker Street recently acquired North American rights on the upcoming horror film, which is set during the Palaeolithic period – 45,000 years in the past!
We’ve been told, “It’s a tense, emotional, and incredibly crafted film; so much creativity went into making the paleolithic world – including the entire language spoken in the film, which was created specifically for this by a linguist and an archaeologist.”
Preview The Origin with a gallery of exclusive first-look images below.
In The Origin, “A small boat reaches the shores of a raw and desolate landscape. A group of six have struggled across the narrow sea to find a new home. They are starving, desperate, and living 45,000 years ago. First they must find shelter, and they strike...

On Thursday evening The Swimmers received a four minute standing ovation after its premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.
This soaring epic dramatizes the true story of two sisters who left their home in war-torn Syria for a new life in Europe — and the chance to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics.
An epic adventure drawn from the most pressing of global stories, The Swimmers tells the remarkable true tale of sisters Yusra and Sara Mardini, who fled their home in war-torn Damascus to seek a new life in Europe and earn the chance to compete in the Olympics. Directed by Sally El Hosaini (My Brother the Devil) and written by Jack Thorne (TIFF ’19’s The Aeronauts), this is a moving story of two young women refugees, and their inspiring reach for a better life.

“Ozark” fans, rejoice. The Jason Bateman and Julia Garner-starring drama series is returning to Netflix in April with a second part to its fourth season — and it’s just one of many other hotly anticipated titles coming to the streamer this month.
April will also see the long-awaited sophomore installment to “Russian Doll,” the mind-bending “Groundhog Day”-esque dramedy series starring Natasha Lyonne as a hard-partying New York City woman stuck in a brain-melting circuitous loop from hell.
For fans of capital-m mess, there’s the Spanish-language “Elite,” which traces the scandalous (and often murderous) exploits of the posh attendees of high school Las Encinas. Or, if you prefer your glamorous mess via reality series, “Selling Sunset” — about the lux real estate market in Los Angeles — is premiering its fifth season April 22.

Ever wondered what it was like to work on a Covid-safety-compliant set? Netflix‘s upcoming comedy The Bubble from director, writer, and producer Judd Apatow is examining the answer to that question. After previously teasing the film Cliff Beasts 6: Battle for Everest: Memories of a Requim, Netflix is coming clean about their cheesy-looking dinosaur-laden flick. Cliff Beasts is the franchise film at the center of The Bubble, a movie following a cast and crew as they film the movie in a Covid-safe bubble. (Credit: Laura Radford/Netflix) So, the sixth installment of the “23rd largest Dino franchise ever” might not be super real, but The Bubble certainly is and it arrives April 1 on Netflix. As a group of actors and actresses are stuck inside of a pandemic bubble at a hotel, they’ll work together to crate the sequel to an action franchise film that revolves around flying dinosaurs.

Can this marriage be saved? Should it? Heady questions to tackle on Valentine’s Day, launch date for the wittily bittersweet second season of writer Nick Hornby’s Emmy-winning romantic-dramedy anthology, State of the Union. Airing over 10 nights, each episode, directed by Stephen Frears, is comprised of a brisk but deep 10-minute conversation. (This can all be binge-watched in one greedy gulp on AMC+ and Sundance Now.) (Credit: Laura Radford/See-Saw Films/Sundance TV) Marvelously and sensitively acted by Brendan Gleeson (mostly masking his Irish brogue) and Patricia Clarkson, the vignettes tell the story of Ellen and Scott, a well-off Connecticut couple whose 30-year marriage appears to be sputtering to an unhappy demise. “I think I want a divorce,” Ellen tells a flabbergasted Scott in the first of their weekly meetings in a trendy coffee shop. (They’re the warm-up for the trip upstairs to marriage counseling.) Over the weeks,...

Easily one of the best movies I've seen this year, Corinna Faith's The Power follows a trainee nurse, Val (Rose Williams), who is forced to work the night shift at the decrepit East London Royal Infirmary in 1974. With mandatory power outages scheduled each night, Val must face her fear of the dark head-on while caring for patients, and while she just hopes to make it through the night, the potentially haunted hospital and demons from her own past have other plans.
A masterful and timely horror movie that is as thought-provoking as it is genuinely scary, The Power is now streaming on Shudder, and I highly recommend that you make time in your schedules and space on your watch lists for this gem of a film.
