Hokum
As a horror flick, ‘Hokum’ works. But it won’t work for everyone. It’s a film that even adults should walk into with their eyes wide open.
Iron Lung
In ‘Iron Lung,’ a guy pilots a tiny submarine through an ocean of blood. And that, my friends, should be all you need to know.
Ladies First
Netflix’s ‘Ladies First’ offers a satirical look at a world dominated by women, often in crass and eye-rolling ways.
Desert Warrior
‘Desert Warrior’ provides a stylized look at what may have led up to the historical—and bloody—seventh-century Battle of Dhu Qar.
Fuze
‘Fuze’ is a fat-free crime caper with everything you’d expect from the genre: ruses and counter-ruses, lies heaped upon more lies and a whole bunch of swearing.
Over Your Dead Body
‘Over Your Dead Body’ is packed with torment, ripped flesh and profanity—and very little of the trailer’s promised good humor.

‘Jack Ryan: Ghost War’ brings Krasinski’s version of the character to the big screen, complete with visceral violence and crude language.

A nobody cop lands in a nowhere town, and no one is left standing. ‘Normal’ is an unfunny comedy of exploding heads and goopy mess.
Mother Mary
As far as psychological, spiritually tinged thrillers go, ‘Mother Mary’ should be an easy pass for discerning viewers.
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is a dark, dark movie—physically and morally. This story should itself be wrapped up and buried.
