Blitz Bazawule crafts a vibrant and joyous adaptation of the Broadway musical (based on Alice Walker's seminal book).

'Dicks: The Musical'

This polarizing, saucy and R-rated spin on “The Parent Trap” with f-bombs galore stars Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson as macho vacuum-parts salesmen who learn they’re long-lost identical twins and seek to reunite their divorced parents.

'The Last Voyage of the Demeter'

André Øvredal's period horror film is a seafaring slasher where a monstrous Dracula gets loose on a Russian schooner bound for England and the sailors are not ready for the king bloodsucker.

'The Marvels'

'Oppenheimer'

Blistering and thought-provoking, Christopher Nolan's best picture front-runner chronicles the Manhattan Project of the 1940s and America's race to develop the atomic bomb. Cillian Murphy is phenomenal as J. Robert Oppenheimer, a flawed genius who rises to become a hero but is later vilified by the country he loves.
