Missing (2023) Movie Review
“Missing” is the latest installment in what appears to be a growing Searching Cinematic Universe, although it’s not a direct sequel to the 2018 hit “Searching.” Instead, it takes a different perspective, following a daughter who is looking for her mother using the same narrative structure as the previous film. The movie begins with a montage that includes a brief reference to the mystery in “Searching,” setting the tone for a tense and exciting thriller.

Marlowe (2022) Movie Review
Liam Neeson, the 70-year-old actor, seems an unlikely candidate to play Philip Marlowe, the sharp and sprightly detective character created by Raymond Chandler. Chandler’s Marlowe was capable of cutting a sprightly figure, and most of the great actors who have played the role over the years, including Humphrey Bogart, Dick Powell, James Garner, and Elliott Gould, fit this image. However, Neeson, even when playing comedy, has a weight to him that doesn’t let up. In “Marlowe,” adapted by John Banville from Chandler’s estate, and directed by Neil Jordan, Neeson plays the title role, and even though he is not a perfect fit, he manages to deliver an enjoyable performance.

Glorious (2022) Movie Review
“Glorious” is a darkly comic horror film that tells its single-location story in an intriguing, yet trippy and icky way. It is simultaneously highfalutin and down-and-dirty, which makes it stand out in the genre. The film tells the story of a disheveled, middle-aged man named Wes, played by Ryan Kwanten, who finds himself locked inside a remote rest stop bathroom. His car is crammed with his belongings, including a teddy bear and a mysterious red box. Over the course of the night, he will remain there, burning everything he owns in a drunken rage. When he awakens the next morning, hungover and pantsless, he staggers into the bathroom to vomit, only to be disturbed by the sound of a friendly voice coming from the adjacent stall. This is where the story begins to take a bizarre turn.

Alice, Darling (2022) Movie Review
Alice is underwater, watching the floating seaweed and murky light above her. She is not swimming back up for air, at least not yet. This scene is a visual metaphor for the state of Alice's mind in the movie "Alice, Darling," and it is evident that something is bothering her. Although Alice is in good company now, meeting her friends at a restaurant in the city, her mind is elsewhere. She is holding on to an abusive partner, Simon, a truth revealed through uncomfortable conversations, guilt trips, and anxious behavior like pulling out her hair and panic attacks. Her relationship’s red flags are as clear as flashing billboard signs for her worried friends, but Alice looks past these warnings as if they’re her partner’s love language.

Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023) Movie Review
When it comes to Idris Elba, movies have never really known what to do with him. Although he is imposing, charismatic, and incredibly intelligent, Elba has left his most memorable mark on television, where his intense and thoughtful style is perfectly suited to the intimacy and character-building patience of episodic storytelling.

The Ritual Killer (2023) Movie Review
Occasionally, a movie is released that is so repugnant and morally bankrupt that it raises questions about how and why it was allowed to be made in the first place. The Ritual Killer, a serial killer thriller directed by George Gallo and written by a team of screenwriters, is one such movie. It is exploitative, gratuitously graphic, racist, poorly conceived, and ridiculous, with a narrative that fails to engage the audience.

Prey (2022) Movie Review
If you're a fan of the Predator franchise, then you'll be happy to know that a new installment has been released on Hulu. While some may wonder why it wasn't released in theaters, "Prey" is a great movie that's worth watching on the biggest screen possible. The movie is set in 1719, making it a period piece, and stars Amber Midthunder as Naru, a young Comanche woman who must confront the first Predator alien to appear on Earth.
