I haven't had this much unhinged fun at the movies in a long time. Vintage Sam Raimi, SEND HELP is a hilarious horror adventure that's packed with laugh out loud surprises. Rachel McAdams (Doctor Strange, True Detective) kills it in a career defining role as meek, single and devoted employee Linda Liddle. Socially awkward, her most loyal companion is the parakeet she shares her tiny apartment with, making tuna sandwiches nightly for her next day's lunch. Linda is a beast at her keyboard or...

NO ONE creates suspense on film like Director Paul Greengrass, something you know if you've seen his films "United 93" or "The Bourne Ultimatum". His telling of the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California, THE LOST BUS moves you to the front of your seat and never lets go. We meet school bus driver Kevin McKay, embodied brilliantly by Matthew McConaughey. Kevin's struggling after the loss of his father and recent divorce, caring for his mother and his 15 year old son, who wants nothing to do...

Although I'm not strapped into the chair that Chris Pratt spends 90% of MERCY in, I have to admit that I went into this movie ready to quip, "Yeah, I saw this when it was called 'Minority Report'! While it never nears the superiority of that Cruise/Spielberg classic, damned if this one isn't a whole lot of fun, packed with suspense, humor and buckets of action. Pratt plays Detective Chris Raven, a decorated officer and one of the champions of the near future virtual court called Mercy. If...

Dead Man's Wire

A suspenseful throwback to the gritty crime dramas of the 1970's, DEAD MAN'S WIRE is taut full of suspense and based on a true story of televised revolution. Be prepared to be plunged into a cold February day in 1977. Director Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) and his team recreate that chilly Indianapolis day, giving the entire film a palpable sense of time and place. Bill Skarsgard is a long way from Pennywise in a superb performance as everyman Tony Kiritsis, whose American dream is...

WOW is PRIMATE a massive surprise. A throwback to 80's visceral gore and terror with the best practical effects in ages, it's an 800lb gorilla of scares, suspense and freak out moments. AND it's well acted by a great cast. Didn't see this one coming. Mesa's own, Troy Kotsur, Best Actor Oscar winner for 2022's "Coda", stars as author Adam, whose luxurious cliff side beach house sees the return of his older daughter Lucy (a terrific Johnny Sequoia) after a long time away from him and his...

Greenland 2: Migration

Five years after the original comet disaster flick, Gerard Butler returns in GREENLAND 2: MIGRATION , a disappointing sequel to the surprising original. The good news is that Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin are back as John & Allison Garrity, still living underground in the encampment that they strove to find in the original film. But that massive bunker is showing signs of wear and the Earth is starting to push back against the impact of the comet. Fissures and lava emerge, earthquakes...
