Violent Night (December 2)
What better way khổng lồ kick off the holiday season than with David Harbour playing a Santa Claus that kicks ass? Stabbing bad guys with ornaments, strangling them with tinsel, và delivering some seasons beatings, this Santa gives the criminals on his naughty menu a grenade down the pants instead of coal. In Violent Night, Santa takes on a team of mercenaries trying to lớn steal millions from a wealthy family. Written by the team behind the Sonic the Hedgehog movies and directed by Dead Snow’s Tommy Wirkola, Violent Night could become a new holiday classic.
Will Smith’s first film since winning his Best Actor Oscar for King Richard (and his first since that…memorable ceremony), Emancipation is based on the true story of a slave who escaped khổng lồ freedom, & had images of his whipped back published in 1863 khổng lồ show the horrors of slavery. Smith plays Peter, who must run from a Louisiana plantation, through the dangers of the surrounding swamp, & to the safety of Lincoln’s soldiers so he can save himself và his family. Smith and director Antoine Fuqua have both rarely taken on such heavy subject matter before, and it will be interesting lớn see how audiences react to lớn Emancipation’s dark story—especially after Smith’s Academy Award spat.
Joanna Hogg's last two films, The Souvenir & The Souvenir Part II, only lightly touched on the dynamic between a mother and her daughter, but her latest, The Eternal Daughter goes all-in on the concept. Framed almost as a ghost story, The Eternal Daughter stars Tilda Swinton stars as a mother và daughter who go lớn a secluded hotel for a little vacation. The mother has a history with the disconcerting old hotel, while the daughter is attempting khổng lồ learn more about her mother in order lớn write a screenplay about her. The Eternal Daughter feels just as personal as The Souvenir films did, but with a more haunting approach than we might expect from Hogg.
Based on Michael Ausiello’s book of the same name, Spoiler Alert is a love story of sorts, seen through the eyes of Ausiello (Jim Parsons), as his partner of many years Kit Cowan (Ben Aldridge) goes from receiving his diagnosis of terminal cancer lớn his eventual death in eleven months. Spoiler Alert is directed by Michael Showalter, who has explored unlikely romances before, with 2017’s Oscar-nominated film, The Big Sick, and most recently directed Jessica Chastain lớn her first Oscar with The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Could Spoiler Alert become a late-breaking award contender, or with its tragic ending, could it be just too bleak for audiences?
As Christoph Waltz stated on the red carpet, it’s easy to lớn dismiss yet another Pinocchio movie (especially after Disney’s own live-action update to their classic version earlier this year), but when you hear it’s coming from Guillermo del Toro, well, that's a whole different story. Del Toro announced his take on Pinocchio over a decade ago, & as one would expect, his version of the story is darker than your standard fairy tale adaptation. But del Toro has often played with fantasy conventions, which makes him the perfect fit to lớn put his own spin on this story, and with a cast that includes Ewan McGregor, Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, Ron Perlman, & Finn Wolfhard, Pinocchio is certainly going to lớn be one of the best animated films of the year.
2022 has been packed with films about the magic of movies, from Bardo to The Fabelmans, and joining that collection is Sam Raimi’s latest film, Empire of Light. Coming off his Best Director nomination for 2019’s 2017, Empire of Light is Raimi’s first film he’s both directed & written solo. Empire of Light follows a group of employees at a cinema on the English coast, including Hilary (Olivia Colman), a woman who has had a recent absence from the theater, & Stephen (Micheal Ward), the new employee with whom Hilary strikes up a friendship.
While the reception to lớn The Whale has mostly been mixed, everyone agrees that it’s great to lớn have Brendan Fraser back in a role that will likely lead lớn Oscar gold. Fraser plays Charlie, a 600-pound man who stays at trang chủ and binge eats as a way to lớn block out his pain. Over the course of a few days, The Whale shows Charlie attempting to reconnect with his daughter (Sadie Sink), và try lớn make her life better for the future. Darren Aronofsky primarily puts the focus on Fraser’s wonderful performance that is genuinely touching, even under his many prosthetics, và is the rare Aronofsky film that strives for optimism, even despite the lows we see Charlie have khổng lồ face.
Thirteen years ago, Avatar became the highest-grossing film of all-time, proof that James Cameron simply doesn’t miss, even after the 12-year gap since Titanic achieved this same goal. Now, after years of delays và incessant discussions about the legacy of Avatar, Cameron will finally release the second film in the Avatar series, Avatar: The Way of Water. Of course, Cameron will be pushing the limits of special effects in film, & will also see the introduction of new characters played by Kate Winslet, Edie Falco, & Jermaine Clement. But will our burning Avatar questions be answered? Can Jake Sully Sivako (rise to lớn the challenge in Na’vi, obviously)? Will he right the mighty Ikran over the Hallelujah Mountains? Only a few more weeks until we find out!
The last two films from director Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman and The Revenant, ended up earning him back-to-back Best Director Oscars, & while his latest film, Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, might not win him a third in a row, it's certainly an interesting direction for the director. Iñárritu's latest follows a journalist và documentarian who returns home to Mexico và starts having an existential crisis. Bardo is Iñárritu's first film he's shot completely in Mexico since his 2000 debut, Amores perros. In a year where many filmmakers are going deeply personal with their films, it will be interesting to lớn see how Bardo fares against these other films when Bardo comes to Netflix.
Considering 2011’s Puss in Boots made over half a billion dollars, & how omnipresent the Shrek franchise was throughout the 2000s, it’s sort of shocking it took over a decade for Puss in Boots lớn get a sequel. But Antonio Banderas & Salma Hayek Pinault return for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, as Puss in Boots (Banderas) tries lớn restore the eight of his nine lives. Much lượt thích The Bad Guys, The Last Wish takes a more dynamic approach to its animation, và with a cast that adds Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, John Mulaney, và Harvey Guillén, hopefully we’re not waiting another decade for more adventures of Puss in Boots.
While we’ve certainly had a fair tóm tắt of musical biopics in recent years, Whitney Houston is certainly an icon deserving of such a film. I Wanna Dance With Somebody certainly seems impeccably cast, with Naomi Ackie seemingly embodying Houston, while Stanley Tucci as Clive Davis and Ashton Sanders as Bobby Brown are both inspired choices. But the creative team behind the film also has an interesting history with films based on true stories, as director Kasi Lemmons directed 2007’s Talk lớn Me, and most recently, 2019’s Harriet, while screenwriter Anthony McCarten is an old pro at this, having written The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour, Bohemian Rhapsody, and The Two Popes. Could Houston’s story kết thúc up being a surprise late-in-the-game Oscar contender?
With a career that has included maniacal music teachers (Whiplash), modern-day musicals (La La Land), and a trip lớn the moon (First Man), director Damien Chazelle has already done quite a bit in his career so far, yet his most grandiose story might be his latest, Babylon. Centering around Hollywood’s turn from silent films khổng lồ sound films in the 1920s, Babylon also features Chazelle’s largest cast, with Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Jean Smart, Tobey Maguire, and tons more filling out this expansive story. Even when he’s heading to space, Chazelle’s films have felt relatively small in their focus, so it will certainly be interesting lớn see Chazelle play with such a large canvas with Babylon.
It seemed almost impossible that Rian Johnson could make a whodunit that was better than his 2019 film Knives Out, yet with that film's sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Johnson has done the unthinkable. This time around Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) follows a wealthy group of "disruptors" khổng lồ Greece as they prepare to play their own murder mystery. Khổng lồ divulge anything else about Johnson's twisty story would be "foul play," as Blanc would put it, but Glass Onion is one of the funniest, most engaging films of the year—one that you'll want to lớn rewatch as soon as the credits roll.
Christian Bale reunites with director Scott Cooper (Out of the Furnace, Hostiles) once more for The Pale xanh Eye, a gothic horror film about a series of murders at the United States Military Academy in 1830. Bale plays Detective Augustus Landor, who is assisted by Edgar Allen Poe (Harry Melling) lớn help solve this mystery. The Pale xanh Eye’s cast for this dark murder mystery is impressive, including Gillian Anderson, Toby Jones, Timothy Spall, Lucy Boynton, & more, but most importantly, Robert Duvall is playing a guy named Jean-Pepe, so that’s worth admission alone.
A decade after her last film, the remarkable documentary Stories We Tell, Sarah Polley returns behind the camera with maybe her best film yet, Women Talking. The film focuses on a group of women from a religious colony who have khổng lồ decide if they want lớn forgive the men in the community who have drugged and raped them for years, fight them, or run away from the situation. As the title implies, Women Talking is largely centered around the conversations these women have in trying khổng lồ deduce what their next move should be, but these talks are fascinating & engrossing—easy to vày when your cast includes Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, and Frances McDormand. Women Talking isn’t just Polley’s best film in an impressive filmography, it’s also one of the best films of 2022.
Fredrik Backman’s book A Man Called Ove became a worldwide smash when it was released in 2012, & has already received a Swedish adaptation, which earned two Academy Award nominations. In the second adaptation of this book, A Man Called Otto, Tom Hanks plays the title character, a notorious neighborhood grump who attempts khổng lồ kill himself after the death of his wife & a forced retirement. But when a new family moves in near him, Otto surprisingly strikes up a friendship with his new neighbors. Directed by Marc Forster (Christopher Robin, Finding Neverland), A Man Called Otto could be the Hanks-leading performance we need after a year that brought us both Pinocchio & Elvis.

In what is a cinematic match made in heaven, Broker united writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters, Still Walking) with Parasite's Song Kang-ho for another film about found families. While the film largely revolves around a group trying lớn sell a baby, Broker is one of the warmest và genuinely beautiful films of 2022, a tonal sequel of sorts to Kore-eda's wonderful Shoplifters. Kang-ho is a perfect lead for Kore-eda's story, và the two pair well together in one of the most surprisingly heartwarming films of the year.
Noah Baumbach, the director of such films as Marriage Story and Frances Ha, has never made a film as over-the-top, broad, và overly comedic as White Noise. Adapting Don DeLillo’s novel of the same name, White Noise follows the Gladney family (led by Adam Driver và Greta Gerwig) as they deal with an “Airborne Toxic Event” that threatens their town, and the repercussions of said event. White Noise is delightfully weird in its exploration of academia, death, consumerism, and the 1980s, and led by two charming performances by Driver & Gerwig. White Noise is a wild swing, an unusual adventure unlike anything we’ve seen from Baumbach before.
There’s no better way khổng lồ start 2023 than with the nhảy đầm killer robot prototype child, M3GAN. When the first trailer for M3GAN was released, it immediately became a meme, an absurd idea—fittingly—from the writer of Malignant. M3GAN is a child companion who latches onto her new best friend Cady (Violet McGraw) after her roboticist aunt Gemma (Allison Williams) brings this prototype. Naturally, as often happens with such prototype robot children, M3GAN starts getting a little too attached and starts murdering anyone that gets between her & Cady. Wild that 2023 is just dropping the clear best film of the year right out the gate.
For a while, it seemed as though House Party might end up another casualty of Warner Bros.’ restructuring, as it was pulled from the schedule less than three weeks before its release last year. But the House Party reboot looks lượt thích it might finally see the light of day in January. This new take follows Damon và Kevin (Tosin Cole & Jacob Latimore, respectively), who want to lớn be club promoters, but are stuck in their job as house cleaners. This pair decides that they should throw a buổi tiệc ngọt at their last job: the mansion of LeBron James. In addition to lớn James, House Party will also feature appearances by Lil Wayne, Scott Mescudi, Snoop Dogg, và Kid N’ Play. But even more exciting is that House Party is written by Jamal Olori & Stephen Glover, who both wrote on the excellent series, Atlanta.
Florian Zeller’s debut film, 2020’s The Father was a critical success, earning six Academy Award nominations và winning two, including Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins. Zeller’s follow-up, The Son, similarly follows the struggles of a family, as Peter Miller (Hugh Jackman) attempts to take care of his son Nicholas (Zen McGrath) from his previous marriage, as he balances his new, growing family và a potential dream job on the horizon. While The Son doesn’t balance its emotional themes as well as The Father, it’s Jackman’s performance as the concerned father that helps this story along, as Jackman effectively showcases the struggle to vị what’s right for his family, even when he’s confused & unsure of how to lớn move forward.
Five years after the chất lượng mystery of Searching, which was told entirely through computers và phones, the film receives a tonally similar sequel with Missing starring Storm Reid. Missing follows a girl trying to lớn find out what happened to lớn her mother when she ends up missing after a vacation with a new boyfriend in Columbia. Searching was a unique cinematic experience, one that critics và audiences praised at the time, so it will be interesting to see how this concept is updated almost half a decade later, và see how this story might tie into the events of Searching as well.
The trailer for Shotgun Wedding certainly has one of the most shocking turnarounds in quite some time. What starts as a rom-com about a destination wedding between Darcy (Jennifer Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel), takes a sharp shift when the wedding các buổi party is taken hostage. Lopez has had success with rom-coms recently, as 2022’s Marry Me was a delight, & c’mon, Shotgun Wedding gives Jennifer Coolidge a giant gun. Let Coolidge do whatever she wants.
Look, you never know what you’re going lớn get with M. Night Shyamalan. It’s possible you could get the thrilling director who knows how lớn get under your skin and who made The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, or Split. OR, you could get the guy who takes you lớn the beach that makes you old, or even worse, the guy who made The Happening and After Earth. But Knock at the Cabin, based on the book of the same name by Paul G. Tremblay, looks like it could be the former, as a family of three is held hostage by four strangers who demand that one of them must die in order khổng lồ stop the apocalypse. It’s the time of wild concept that Shyamalan could really make work, & with a cast that includes Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, & Rupert Grint, this might be a sign of the good Shyamalan.
After the ridiculously fun Magic Mike and the even more entertaining Magic Mike XXL, it seems it's time lớn say goodbye khổng lồ everyone’s favorite cinematic stripper, played by Channing Tatum. Magic Mike’s Last Dance brings back the original installment’s director, Steven Soderbergh, as Mike puts together a giant show, with the help of a new love interest, played by Salma Hayek Pinault. This third film will apparently kết thúc with a 30-minute dance number, which sounds lượt thích the perfect way to over this wild trilogy. Fingers crossed we get to hear “Pony” one last time.
Who amongst us hasn’t read the classic Winnie the Pooh tales from A.A. Milne, or watched the iconic Disney animated films, and thought, “you know what would make this better? If Winnie & Piglet were bloodthirsty monsters hoping lớn feast on human flesh?” Who needs honey when you’ve got potential victims lớn chomp down on? Well, that’s what we’re getting with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood và Honey, a deranged take on Milne’s classic that shows what happens after Christopher Robin abandoned his 100 Acre Woods friends & went to lớn college. Sure, Blood và Honey is likely going khổng lồ be about its shock value of watching these beloved characters doing horrific things, but it’s hard not lớn be mildly curious as to how such adorable creatures become the thing of nightmares.
Beginning the MCU’s fifth phase, Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania looks lượt thích its going lớn hit the ground running as the first film lớn introduce Jonathan Majors’ villain, Kang the Conquerer. The third Ant-Man film also becomes even more of a family affair, as Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), alongside Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne (Michael Douglas & Michelle Pfeiffer) have to lớn save Scott’s daughter Cassie (now played by Kathryn Newton), who is in the Quantum Realm. In addition lớn Kang, we’ll also apparently meet MODOK, and a new villain played by Bill Murray. After the mixed reaction to Phase 4, Ant-Man và the Wasp: Quantumania seems lượt thích we’re going lớn start Phase 5 off on the right foot.
In her debut role, Ji-Min Park gives one of the best performances of 2022 in Return lớn Seoul, as Freddie, who returns lớn South Korea for the first time since being adopted as a child and moving lớn France. Freddie doesn't know why she's decided to return to her trang chủ country on a whim, but just being there starts khổng lồ change her and motivate her khổng lồ learn about her past. As we see Freddie on subsequent trips back to lớn South Korea, we see just how much a person can change over the years, & how these visits largely influence her life. Davy Chou's stunning film is one of the best movies of 2022, which thankfully, will get a wider release in 2023.
Look up. See that title? That insane trailer? What more vị you need to lớn know? A bear does a bunch of cocaine, then goes on a murder spree. Done. You’ve already bought your ticket yet? No? Well, the Elizabeth Banks-directed film seems like it’s going khổng lồ be one of the most ridiculous films of 2023 (yes, even in a year with M3GAN and a murdering Winnie the Pooh), và with a shockingly good cast that features Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Isiah Whitlock Jr., & Ray Liotta in one of his final roles. Go ahead & cancel the Academy Awards now, cause Cocaine Bear is gonna sweep.
