The Last Front (2024) |
A fine drama that shines a spotlight on a part of Europe that really hasn’t been covered very much in war movies - The Weekend Warrior

Sugarcane (2024) |
This is a doc that really creeps up on you, revealing the truth about St. Joseph’s Mission and getting justice for its helpless victims. - The Weekend Warrior

Cuckoo (2024) |
Singer’s film takes a far more original approach to its storytelling, creating something that’s odd and enigmatic but also quite effective in its scares. - The Weekend Warrior

It Ends With Us (2024) |
Having a movie that starts out as one thing but effectively delivers such a message may be why Hoover’s book was so popular, and I imagine that will help this film do just as well. - The Weekend Warrior

Borderlands (2024) |
There’s nothing about this movie that makes me even remotely interested in playing the game, and for that alone, Borderlands is indeed an epic fail. - The Weekend Warrior

Trap (2024) |
Shyamalan proves once again his ability to create something that can be enjoyed by a wide variety of audiences, and it's great to see Hartnett having such fun as he continues what seems to be a hearty second act for his career. - The Weekend Warrior

The Instigators (2024) |
Being so derivative and just not very funny doesn’t do much to keep the viewer invested in anything happening on screen. - The Weekend Warrior

War Game (2024) |
I know people who will be fascinated by the way these “war games” help to prepare authorities and leaders for a possible insurrection or coup, but others’ eyes might just glaze over. - The Weekend Warrior

Kneecap (2024) |
Kneecap has a lot to offer, and few who see this movie won’t be curious to check out some of Kneecap’s music as well. - The Weekend Warrior

Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024) |
Unapologetically made just for the smallest of children, and offers nary a laugh for anyone older than, say, 5 years old - The Weekend Warrior

The Last Breath (2024) |

The Beast Within (2024) |
A fairly lackluster and highly unoriginal addition to the werewolf subgenre of horror, The Beast Within has so much potential, on which it just never fully delivers. - The Weekend Warrior

Dìdi (2024) |
I’m generally a fan of good coming-of-age films, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen one as brilliantly effective across the board as DÌDI. Sean Wang clearly had a very personal story to tell, and his cast really delivers. - The Weekend Warrior

Lumina (2024) |

Eno (2024) |
There’s so much great insight from Eno himself, both in present day and in archival interviews, that you’re bound to learn something new even if you think you know everything there is to know about him. - The Weekend Warrior

Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024) |
