So, let’s get started!

The Suicide Squad

With an A-list cast, ear-catching pop nuggets, and cameos from DC comics heavy hitters, James Gunns 2021 sequel is a highly inappropriate, side-splitting, and astonishingly smart supervillain romp.

Supervillains Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Bloodsport, and a group of crazy cons at Belle Reve prison become members of a top-secret Task Force X as they are dropped off at the enemy-infused, remote island of Corto Maltese.

The Suicide Squad is a very well-calibrated action-comedy with alternating bursts of intense violence and humorous beats.

Prisoners of the Ghostland

Sion Sono’s iconic blend of Western, post-apocalyptic, and samurai thriller, starring Nicolas Cage as a bank robber, is a sly spoof of the legendary hero’s journey.

The movie has a solid set-up premise. In the deceitful Frontier city, a notorious criminal is hired by an immoral town governor to find and return his AWOL granddaughter from a wasteland and get freedom in return. The catch? The hero is trussed into Chekovs Limb-Splodin; leather suit that will self-destruct if he fails to find the lost girl before the deadline.

Liberated from genre conventions, Prisoners of the Ghostland looks like it is destined to rule the midnight movie screens.

Savior for Sale: Da Vincis Lost Masterpiece?

Savior for Sale: Da Vinci’s Lost Masterpiece? is about the discovery of Salvator Mundi, a painting which may or may not has been painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Purchased by some art investors for less than $2,000, this painting became the worlds most big-budget painting when it was sold for $450 million. And that makes for a story, ripe with conspiracy theories, controversy, intense megalomania, and mud-slinging.

An irresistible movie narrative based on a stunning journey on the unseen trails of power, money, and fraud behind this questionable masterpiece.

Candyman

The sharp and shivery redo of the 1992 horror film, Candyman, caters to fans of the original without sacrificing its plot and vision. This hook-handed slasher has integrated modern themes into the overall story and is sure to give you chills down the spine.

The new installment follows Anthony McCoy, a Chicago artist who is drawn to the Candyman mythology and has an earnest wish to create art based on the legend of the Cabrini-Green neighborhood. As he unravels this hood legend, he begins to realize his place within the Candyman mythology.

Candyman takes an incisive and visually thrilling approach to intensify the franchises mythology and terrify the audience at the same time.

Space Jam: A New Legacy

Genre(s): Adventure, Animation, Comedy

Director: Malcolm D. Lee

Writers: Leo Benvenuti, Steve Rudnick, Timothy Harris

Stars: LeBron James, Don Cheadle, Cedric Joe, Khris Davis, and others

Space Jam: A New Legacy functions as a sequel to the original Space Jam and is a powered-up roster of NBA and WNBA stars, which you have never witnessed before.

The star athlete, LeBron James, along with his young son is trapped in a fantasy world where they must participate in a basketball game against cartoons, with cartoons. While the stakes were excessively heightened in the first installment, they are more personal this time. In order to get home safe, LeBron must lead Bugs, Lola Bunny, and the entire gang of naughty and undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I. digitized champions in the court.

It is Tunes versus Goons in the greatest stakes challenge of LeBron’s life that will redefine the bond between a father and a son, and reflect on the power of being yourself.

Ema

Genre(s): Drama, Romance, Music

Director: Pablo Larraín

Writers: Pablo Larraín, Guillermo Calderón, Alejandro Moreno

Stars: Mariana Di Girólamo, Cristian Suares, Santiago Cabrera, Gael García Bernal, Paola Giannini, and others

Pyromania and eroticism dance hand-in-hand through Pablo Larraín’s fierce melodrama, Ema, which circles a suffering mother with a damaging obsession.

The film’s narrative, a mysterious sensual tale of motherhood and the modern family, is also saturated with a sense of the surreal. Ema and her husband have recently been relieved of their adopted son, Polo, after a tragic incident that resulted in the dreadful disfigurement of Ema’s sister. The questions of where Polo is now and who is responsible for this horrible situation ignites the tension between the couple.

To some, Ema’s title character will perhaps be a wild enigma; to others, a valiant mother who will do anything to get back her adoptive son.

Lady Usher

Genre(s): Thriller,

Director & Writer: George Adams

Stars: Theresa Santiago, Billie D. Merritt, John Tupy, John Ferguson, Kim Titus, Peter Anthony, Allyson Cristofaro, and others

Lady Usher is an American suspenseful thriller movie about a college student, whose visit to a family reveals some shocking secrets. This is a tale about a family cursed with unrequited love and madness.

The movie revolves around Morgan, whose boyfriend Roderick has returned home to take care of his ill father. He did not bring his girlfriend along and strongly discourages her every time she insists on paying a visit. Being a determined and strong-willed young woman, Morgan shows up anyway.

What she discovers is a home that seems to belong in another century by way of its residents’ attire, mannerisms, and traits. All in the control of the tyrannical and brutal Lady Usher. And the lady of the house is clearly displeased about her uninvited guest.

If you are in the mood for a weird but captivating tale, this horror flick of twisted psyches and minds is definitely worth a shot. Plus, this enjoyable gothic romp is full of surprises and likely to keep you guessing till the end.
