‘Shadow in the Cloud’ Film Review: Chloe Grace Moretz Battles WWII Gremlins in Outrageously Entertaining B-Movie

The two lovers "meet cute." One has an overbearing mother and an overly garrulous best friend constantly trying to interfere in his love life. The other has deep-rooted family issues.

To find a novel approach to the Holocaust is definitely a challenge, and yet director Peter Bebjak has told an unfamiliar but revealing story in The Auschwitz Report, Slovakia’s submission for best international film of 2020. Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the movie in the U.S., and although it can’t be described as an entertaining watch, it does retrieve a part of history worth honoring.

A cerebral mystery thriller told by an unreliable narrator in a fugue of emotional dislocation, writer-director Lili Horvat's Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time puts a lightly feminist spin on classic screen tropes about hysterical wronged women driven by romantic obsession and fatal attraction.

Two unmoored men in the chilly Chilean boondocks find warmth and solace in each other in The Strong Ones (Los Fuertes), the impressive feature debut from writer-director Omar Zuniga. The film explores the same world and characters as Zuniga’s short San Cristobal, which won the Teddy for best LGBTQ short at the 2015 Berlinale.

A captivity tale whose ostensible Finnish setting serves mostly to put us in mind of grisly old-world folk tales, Alister Grierson's Bloody Hell saves its troll for the very end but offers plenty of peril while we await him.

After making fans wait for what seems like a lifetime, Warner Bros. has finally released the brand new Tom & Jerry trailer for Tim Story’s upcoming live-action and a hybrid film adaptation of the iconic cartoon series.

There's at least one good thing to say about the new Chinese disaster movie directed by Simon West: It doesn't take long for the volcano to erupt. Considering the bloated running times of so many similarly styled American extravaganzas, the admirable efficiency of Skyfire means that you don't have to waste a lot of time sitting through endless exposition.

Perhaps there’ll come a time a few years from now, once the bludgeoning monotony of pandemic confinement has (hopefully) become a fading memory, when the claustrophobic agitation of Doug Liman's smugly self-satisfied heist thingamajig, Locked Down, could be vaguely amusing. Or not.

Class as much as gender constraints obscured the achievements of 19th century English paleontologist Mary Anning, magnificently played by Kate Winslet in Francis Lee's slow-burn elemental love story Ammonite.

Going a step or two beyond the usual worries over what will happen once armies let military robots make trigger-pulling decisions for themselves, Mikael Hafstrom's Outside the Wire introduces multiple kinds of robo-warrior but is still most worried about the here-and-now issue of "collateral damage" in combat.

Liam Neeson continues the Charles Bronson phase of his lengthy career with Robert Lorenz's action thriller representing the actor's second starring effort in three months. Arriving shortly on the heels of Honest Thief, The Marksman is the sort of solid, unassuming programmer that Bronson pumped out with regularity in the '70s and '80s.
