One of the craziest films we’ve seen that surprised us with how much we enjoyed it: Everything, Everywhere All at Once is a sci-fi absurdist drama that has a Marvel-esque multiverse theme. The film follows a Chinese-American family consisting of Evelyn and Waymond, and their daughter Joy. The family runs a struggling laundromat that is being investigated by the IRS — which is just one of the problems plaguing the main character Evelyn. Here’s where things get weird, with her husband from another universe showing up to seek her help to save the world from a shocking villain. This sparks the beginning of a crazy adventure that takes the characters to different bizarre universes to defeat the villain. Don’t let the randomness fool you — the film is full of metaphorical and at its core explores themes of love, family, and friendship.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

A sinister story that begins with a young boy’s drawings: Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak follows Mallory who escapes a dark past and begins a new life as a live-in babysitter for five-year-old Teddy. She enjoys the calm and stability the job gives her and she enjoys shy and sweet Teddy’s company. However, one day Teddy’s drawings of trees and flowers turn into a drawing of a man dragging a woman’s lifeless body. From there, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond his ability. Mallory is thrown into the midst of what she suspects is a supernatural phenomenon that hints at an unsolved murder.
