An excerpt from our review of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

Four characters stand inside a dimly lit church, looking upward with serious expressions. A quote reads: “As with every entry in this franchise, the cast is stellar. – NAA."

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Read our review: gcr.quest/4-point-revi...
A quote about the movie, "Wake Up Dead Man." The background shows Daniel Craig's character, Benoit Blanc, leaning against a tree in a forest, wearing a suit and sunglasses, with a hat and jacket draped over his arm. In the distance, a tombstone is visible. Overlaying the image is a pink-to-red gradient text box containing the quote: "My opinion is Wake Up Dead Man overall is the best entry into the franchise. It has the most elaborate mystery with some great visuals and setting. -NAA" Large, stylized pink quotation marks are also overlaid on the image, behind the text box.

Movie tie-in games aren’t always fantastic. That said, Super Mario Bros. - despite being quite the departure - stands strong on its own. We recommend you give this game a chance.

Marisa Abela tells Tom Burke's Freddie to "shut the fuck up when you talk to people." Still can't get over how hilarious that line is.

Our winner for Best Picture went to All We Imagine as Light. It's quiet film about the deep impact friendship and sisterhood can have on people whose existence seems forgotten by the rest of the world. A true joy to watch these women find themselves in each other.

Our winner for Best Actress went to Lily-Rose Depp in Nosferatu. Her physical commitment to really sell the Ellen’s visceral reactions throughout the film is what brings it all together.

Our winner for Best Directing went to Edward Berger for Conclave. The framing was always perfect and the choice to shoot the film in a horror style just nailed this as our pick for this category.
