Shelter
(2026)
|
Aaron Neuwirth
|
Not breaking a ton of new ground, but functioning well as a more low-key and introspective version of a standard "Statham beat ‘em up movie," fans of the action star do not need to hide from Shelter.

The results are quite fun, as the dark comedy permeates, with a gleeful Raimi sitting back and letting both lead actors get their hands dirty.

I do not think there will be a funnier film this year than Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass. The laughs are nonstop, and I genuinely cannot remember the last time I laughed this hard in a movie theater.

Josephine is a film that feels nearly flawless in its execution. It is perfectly paced, brilliantly written and acted, and directed with a level of passion and emotional honesty that is impossible to ignore.

The concept at play is realized well enough... and those willing to check it out in 3D will get what they paid for. However, stripping away the bells and whistles leaves little to have mercy for.

Greenland 2: Migration
(2026)

Whether or not one wants to thematically sync the state of the world with the state of things in reality, Greenland 2: Migration gets down to brass tax and delivers what’s essential for a film like this.

It’s not unambitious, as Jarmusch is too great a filmmaker not to use minimalism to his advantage, but the fascination here lies in how quietly human each of these three stories is.

Alas, it’s hard not to feel as though the 85-year-old director ends up seeming a bit out of his depth as far as crafting a more meaningful story, let alone one so directly focused on the plight of a young, female lieutenant governor.

I wasn’t prepared for a slasher flick with more tricks up its sleeves than usual, let alone a fine handle on how to let us in on the psyche of our lead character, and yet still find surprises in the story throughout. Suffice it to say, this movie slays.

This is what amounts to ultimately a nice movie, dependent on what Fraser is able to do as an actor in dramatic mode. He has the default face of someone you know means well, and if it collapses, you can’t help but sympathize with the man.
