To find out what that is, you’ll just have to check out the trailer for yourself. It suffices to say that it’s a bold narrative take on a classic action-adventure film that really plays up its horror aspects. More importantly, this plot twist makes me infinitely more interested in checking what Universal Pictures has in mind to kick off their own shared cinematic universe....

A refreshing spin on the saturated superhero genre,Gabriele Mainetti’sThey Call Me Jeeg(Lo Chiamavano Jeeg Robot)is an uneven but solidly satisfying entry that revamps the format with a gritty aesthetic and a character-driven approach set in the midst of mafia-torn modern Italy. The film opens on a foot chase as our anti-hero Enzo (Claudio Santamaria), a two-bit criminal and way, way underling for Camorra bosses, makes his escape from his latest misdeed....

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Ahsoka Episode 6. Lars Mikkelsen’s Grand General Thrawn made his long-awaited andhighly-anticipated live-action appearanceinAhsoka, and the means of translating his animated character design over into the greater Disney+ universe is almost underwhelming. There’s something uncanny and unsettling about how Thrawn fares on-screen, and it calls greater attention to how disappointing this detrimental reveal came to be. Thrawn is undeniably a chilling villain when it comes to Mikkelsen’s apathetic and cold attitude, but his menacing demeanor is distracted by a makeup job that nearly looks as if his body’s been CGI’d or photoshopped....
