Mortal Kombat 2 looks like it may have corrected some of the weaker parts of the first movie, with Karl Urban leading the way as Johnny Cage.
The Sheep Detective could be a fun family pick with talking animals, mystery, and a tone that feels welcoming for both kids and adults.
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu marks the return of Star Wars to theaters after years away from the big screen.
Frank sees the Mandalorian movie as a possible turning point for Din Djarin and Grogu, two characters who have carried a major part of the franchise.
Back Rooms stands out as the month’s unexpected horror pick, using empty spaces and eerie tension to build interest.
May is framed as the start of blockbuster season and one of the strongest movie years in recent memory.

“Here are three movies you should definitely be watching this month, and one that might have gone underneath your radar.”

“Everything I’m seeing out of this feels like they fixed all the mistakes from the first one.”

“This is Star Wars back in theaters. That hasn’t happened since 2019.”

“Just X-wings on a big screen is enough for me to sit in that chair.”

“I love a good movie like that. I just didn’t see coming and suddenly I’m excited for it.”
