Based on the memories of his platoon and his service, Mendoza’s "Warfare" showcases the real horrors of war, even if it gave me a lot of mixed emotions. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
'Warfare' is all wailing and blood and bombing. But for what?
Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza teams up with Alex Garland and A24 for a real life look into the Iraq War. 'Warfare' staring Will Poulter, Joseph Quinn out now.

“Mickey 17” might not seem like Bong Joon Ho's tone if all you’ve seen is “Parasite,” but a quick peek into his filmography makes it more clear that “Mickey 17” might be the most classic Bong movie yet. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
'Parasite' was for the freaks. 'Mickey 17' is for the family. Well, kinda
"Mickey 17" isn't "Parasite" if that's what you want. But Pattinson's range fits for Bong Joon Ho's playful story of humanity and how it survives.

In many ways, the “Anora” is everything people said it was. It’s lush, it’s electrifying, it’s wild. But more than that, the movie has real heart.

And now it has 5 Oscars, including Best Picture: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
Mikey Madison sparkles in must-see 'Anora,' where 'Uncut Gems' meets 'Pretty Woman'
Mikey Madison and Sean Baker ground intoxicating fairytale of marriage gone wrong. With filmmaking and love, 'Anora' teaches money isn't everything.

“The Monkey,” the newest film from “Longlegs” director Osgood Perkins, is not elevated horror and all the better for it. Read my review here: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
3 horror kings made the most bananas movie of 2025. Let 'The Monkey' wind you up
Horror movie icons Osgood Perkins and James Wan connect to make this Stephen King story an outrageously fun time. "The Monkey" is lowbrow and wild.
