A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Release Rating: 7.5/10

Synopsis:

This whimsically edgy comedy, directed by Jamie Babbit, follows teenager Megan (Natasha Lyonne), whose suburban existence filled with friends, cheerleading, and all-American fun is upended when her straight-laced parents suspect she may be a lesbian. In a panic, they send her to True Directions, a “rehabilitation” camp run by the strict and prudish Mary (Cathy Moriarty), to mount an intervention led by counselor Mike (RuPaul Charles). Megan dutifully follows the program – until she develops feelings for another camper (Clea DuVall) in this timeless, satirical romantic-comedy about self-acceptance and love, also costarring Eddie Cibrian, Melanie Lynskey, and Michelle Williams.

Director: Mike Hodges

Cast: Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, Britt Ekland

Release Date: August 26, 2025

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Release Rating: 9/10

Synopsis:

Michael Caine gives a standout performance as vicious London gangster Jack Carter in this landmark crime classic from director Mike Hodges. The story begins as Carter travels to Newcastle for his brother’s funeral, where he begins to suspect that his brother’s death was not an accident and sets out to follow a complex trail of lies, deceit, cover-ups and backhanders through Newcastle’s underworld, leading, he hopes, to the man who ordered his brother killed. Because of his ruthlessness Carter exhibits all the unstopability of the android in Terminator, or Walker in Point Blank, and he and the other characters in the film are prone to sudden, brutal acts of violence. This timeless classic has been remastered from 4K scans of the original negative, with plentiful special features.
