#ElConde: Not quite as buckwild as its "what if Pinochet was a vampire?" premise would imply, but this is still pretty out-there and raises some interesting points about how hard it is to truly kill evil.

#TheyClonedTyrone: A moody and highly entertaining Blaxploitation flip. Worth checking out just to see Jamie Foxx at his scene-stealing best.

#AllTheBeautyAndTheBloodshed: Part heartfelt biography of a Queer artist, part scathing takedown of the family responsible for the opioid epidemic.

#TotallyKiller: While not all of the comedy worked for me, I can easily see this time travel slasher flick working well with the kind of audiences who would jump at it just from the descriptor "time travel slasher flick".

#AnyoneButYou: A fun, breezy, and occasionally clever spin on a Shakespeare classic. At long last, Will Gluck has made a movie worth watching.
