Reviews
Steven Spielberg's invigorating chase thriller taps into the mania for alien conspiracy theory, but it never becomes a close encounter with wonder. It's closer to 'Alien Autopsy' with better lighting.
The Wayans brothers' horror-spoof franchise is now riding shotgun on the commercial power of the 'Scream' series. The sixth 'Scary Movie' has a few choice gags, but mostly it's so meta it's meh.
Nicholas Galitzine lends spark to a bloated Mattel nostalgia trip. It will raise chuckles from those with fond memories of He-Man, but after 140 minutes it feels time to put away childish things.
Experimental horror comes out of the margins in Kane Parsons' YouTube-gone-A24 head trip. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays a furniture-store owner in a film that turns memes into a moody freakout.
Guy Ritchie delivers a perfect origin story for Sherlock Holmes.
The 'Yellowstone' spinoff turns the Taylor Sheridan franchise into a workman-like CBS procedural.
The HBO series is a perversely hilarious spin on an erotic thriller.
Bruno Mars makes a leisure suit of a record, doubling down on Silk Sonic's hermetically sealed '70s revivalism.
Brent Faiyaz uncorks an instant-vintage serving of sultry R&B.
A$AP Rocky steps back into the arena, all the wiser, on his ambitious album.
Jefferson Mays shines as a funny and frothing Salieri in a gorgeously mounted, essential revival.
Carrie Coon's gutting performance elevates this horror thriller.
Only nominally related to the Blumhouse horror franchise, the haunted-house show ditches hidden cameras for live scares.
