Writer-producer DB Weiss (Game of Thrones) and director Peter Sollett (Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist() teams up with Netflix to bring you the Netflix Teen ComedyMetal Lords. Jaeden Martell (2017’s ItAdrian Greensmith () stars as Hunter and Kevin, high-school students who bond over their mutual love of heavy music. Starting a band together, the two quickly become best friends — that is, until Kevin finds himself romantically drawn to a fellow student and cellist named Emily (Isis Hansworth). Are there chances for Hunter and Kevin to reconcile their differences and reach their goals of becoming metal stars? Our review shows that

There’s a bit of “Who is this for?” Baked into Metal Lords. Game of Thrones Obsessives will need to look closely at the projects to spot similarities. Cranky metalheads, on the other hand, will find plenty to complain about in Weiss’s sometimes smug portrayal of their favorite genre. (Counterpoints: Game of Thrones It is metal as hell and the metal elitists ought to just forget about themselves.

It’s also a teen movie, but the specifics of its subject matter aren’t exactly tuned to a Gen Z frequency. In 2022, classic heavy metal isn’t a 16-year-old’s parents’ music — it’s their grandparents’ music. The core thesis of Metal Lords is that, for those lucky few who respond to metal’s siren song, the experience of falling in love with the genre is an ageless, universal rite.

Rebecca HallChristineThe supernatural horror thriller features a cast of stars that includes? Night House as Beth, a bereaved high school teacher scarred from her late husband’s inexplicable suicide. Beth is haunted by nightmarish visions, ghostly apparitions, and unsettling visions at night. She discovers a journal with strange and troubling secrets. It revolves around an unknown house on the other side of the lake, whose structure and layout mirrors hers. Our review.

As the clues mount, Bruckner doles out scares in mounting intensity, a template for haunted-house movies dating at least back to 1944’s The uninvited. It’s skillfully executed enough to make Night HouseIt’s worth watching for its technical merit alone. The film transforms every corner of the lake house into an area of intense dread. But what’s memorable is the film’s interest in exploring ideas deeper than how scary it might be to be unexpectedly alone and seemingly surrounded by malevolent specters. The title has a literal meaning within the film, one better left unspoiled, but it also suggests the loneliness of Beth’s newly empty home and the shadows that threaten to envelop her, shadows that might be formidable threats even without the questions raised by Owen’s shocking death.

A 2022 Korean spy film Yaksha: Unscrupulous Operations stars Sol Kyung-gu as Kang-inn, also known as “Yaksha”: the leader of a covert team of security agents stationed in Shenyang, a metropolis with a reputation for having the highest concentration of spies in the world. When the National Intelligence Service learns that all the reports sent by Yaksha’s team are false, the agency’s director Yeom Jeong-won (Jin Kyung) sends Ji-Hoon (Park Hae-soo of Squid Game fame), a recently demoted prosecutor, to Shenyang to root out the cause of this deception. If labyrinthine international politics and triple-crossing subterfuge isn’t your cup of tea, not too worry; there are enough gunfights, blisteringly fast chase scenes, and bright explosions to satiate that part of your brain just wants to tune out and vibe to the action.

Vertical Entertainment

Keke PalmerHustlersAlice is a crime thriller that stars. Upon escaping from bondage, Alice discovers the horrible truth — the year is 1973, and she and her loved ones have been imprisoned by a wealthy and reclusive family who have attempted to maintain the institution of slavery nearly a century after its abolishment. Alice, a sympathic truck driver and disillusioned politician is helped by Frank (Common), who plans to help her return to the plantation to exact revenge for Johnny Lee Miller’s cruelty. Inspired by the true story of Mae Louise Walls Miller, the premise of Alice bears an uncanny resemblance to 2020’s Antebellum. I hope this movie does a better job of executing the premise.
