Rain, Regrets, and Revelations: A Mixed Batch of New Films

A quartet of reviews covers Netflix's The Last House (fast, tense horror with strong leads but flawed writing and an open ending); Broken Lizard's Super Troopers 3 (affable, ramshackle comedy that still delivers if uneven); One Night Only (a dystopian rom-com that undermines its satire with a sex-purge ending); and Late Fame (a gentle, bittersweet drama about aging and artistic longing led by Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee).

Frat Farce to Bitter Farewell: A Patchwork of This Summer's Movie Reviews

A quartet of summer releases spans Broken Lizard’s affable Super Troopers 3 and a Farva‑centric wedding plot, Will Gluck’s One Night Only—a rom‑com satire that ends with a conservative anti‑sex note—Kent Jones’s Late Fame, a bittersweet portrait of an aging poet reawakened by a younger cohort, and Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man, a gleefully gory ride that ultimately grimly undercuts its practical‑effects bravura with a bleak final twist.

Waning Laughter, Roaring Spoofs: A Four-Film Review Roundup

A quartet of new releases is surveyed: David Wain's Gail Daughtry And The Celebrity Sex Pass lands as a loose, uneven spoof with sporadic laughs; Sébastien Vaniček's Evil Dead Burn offers stylish visuals and tense craft but leans into a somber tone that drains the Deadite chaos; Disney's Moana live-action remake is criticized for flat CGI and energy, lacking the animated spark; Georgia Bernstein's Night Nurse is mood-driven and technically polished but hampered by thin characterization and unclear motivations. Taken together, the pieces showcase craft and strong performances in places, but the overall round feels unfocused and emotionally distant.
