In the age of pretty-OK sequels and reboots, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is much better than it should be. It's a solid, self-contained story spun out of the mythology of the most recent trilogy, but it also manages to forge its own path. With charming performances from Owen Teague, Freya Allan and scene-stealer Peter Macon, this is one Apes flick not to sleep on.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett made quite the splash with 2019's Ready or Not, and their hot streak continues in their latest follow-up, a darkly hilarious take on Dracula's Daughter that traps a group of thieves in a gothic mansion with a vampire ballerina. The film is a full-course horror meal: You may come for the supernatural scares, but you'll leave with a newfound respect for Alisha Weir (who delivers a gonzo performance as the title vamp).
'Silent black-and-white slapstick comedy inspired by cartoons and video games' sounds like a hard sell, but Hundreds of Beavers is one of the most fun movie experiences.
