At 88 years old, Ridley Scott continues to craft films at an impressive pace. While results may vary, his movies almost always offer elements of brilliance, even if the final products aren’t entirely brilliant. The new post-apocalyptic thriller, The Dog Stars, is a great example of this. This is a highly flawed film peppered with magnificent filmmaking.

When it comes to dinosaurs on the big screen, the Jurassic Park franchise has always reigned supreme. But as the series’ popularity wanes, the door has opened for other, more inventive prehistoric stories. Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, The End of Oak Street is a roaring experience underpinned by a dark throughline.

Written and directed by Australian filmmaker Adrian Chiarella, Leviticus is a new release that blends sexuality with terror. Thanks to its emotional approach, this movie is a solid character-first horror story that stumbles in some areas but succeeds where it matters.

When it comes to iconic comic book characters, few can be compared to Spider-Man. Since 1961, the web-slinger has appeared in countless comic books, TV shows and movies. Written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is another successful story for the masked superhero. Telling a tale that mixes great action with sharp character moments, this film is an incredibly exciting adventure from start to finish.

Following the incredibly successful Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan has returned with The Odyssey, an adaptation of Homer’s epic. With so much to say about this phenomenal picture, it is perhaps best encapsulated as a true cinematic masterpiece.
