After embedding audiences with fictional photojournalists covering a Civil War yet to come, director Alex Garland has teamed up with that film’s battle coordinator (himself a Navy SEAL veteran) Ray Mendoza to bring viewers into the heart of a 2006 surveillance mission gone sideways in Ramadi, Iraq. Constructed from the memories of the soldiers themselves, it’s an inarguably impressive feat of technical filmmaking, immersively told, and unfolding in nerve-rattlingly real-time.
DROP is the latest thriller from longtime partners Christopher Landon and Blumhouse Productions, the creatives behind the Happy Death Day and Paranormal Activity franchises. Much like their previous films, DROP doesn’t take itself too seriously—something that likely saves this film in the end.
The record-breaking game of Sleepy Floyd of the Golden State Warriors against the Los Angeles Lakers on May 10, 1987, Freaky Tales. The film tells the story of a mysterious green power that swept through Oakland in the ‘80s.

Black Bag is a sleek, sophisticated, and sexy thriller with some exceptional filmmaking from Soderbergh. At 93 minutes, not a moment is wasted. Once the plot is established, momentum propels the film like a brisk clip. This is not an action film, though. Soderbergh and Koepp are interested in the letting the story unfold while allowing us into the minds of the exceptionally cerebral players. Why does each character do what they do?

Dan Berk and Robert Olsen subvert the unlikely hero trope in Novocaine, where everyman Nathan Caine (Jack Quaid) leverages his rare condition—an inability to feel pain—to rescue the girl of his dreams.
Pity poor Mickey Barnes. Life is pretty terrible for most people in a dystopia, of course, but for Mickey, it’s particularly awful because he just cannot stay dead when he dies. As an “expendable,” he signed up to a life of many deaths and as many resurrections (reprintings).
