“Astood by the Horror: Prom Queen”
The latest thrasher film, based on RL Stine’s “Fear Street” book, has no imagination or innovation from the 2021 trilogy, but it serves as a retro fest with a talented new face. Prom Night in 1988, the Queen candidate of Shady Side High falls like a fly thanks to a masked murderer, but the best drama is between the underdog Loli (Indian Fowler) and her sleazy neighbor Tiffany (Finastrazza).

“The Young People’s Fountain”
Guy Richie’s Adventures generously borrow from “Indiana Jones” and “National Treasures,” but it tweaks the Globe Trotting Formula with not one but two A-list heroes. Natalie Portman and John Krasinski play the estranged brothers who use masterpieces of art and religious crafts to find the mythical fountain of young people using masterpieces of art, using Vatican-approved mystical protectors (Eiza Gonzalez).

“Difficult Truth”
Mike Lee’s drama is worth streaming just for the stellar performance of British actress Marianne Jean Baptist. Pansy (Jean-Baptiste) appears to everyone with angry vitality, whether it be a store clerk or her own husband and son. But the reason behind her explosion is that Pansy is facing her emotions and her more cheerful sister (Michele Austin), so she reveals herself.

“The Last Showgirl”
In director Gia Coppola’s introspective ensemble drama, Pamela Anderson plays the most flesh role ever as a 30-year veteran covered in feathers from the legendary Las Vegas show, forced to grasp the next chapter of her life.

“Mickey 17”
Oscar-winning director Bong Jun Ho (“Parasite”) has another thought-provoking satire, with the “Monty Python” style stupidity. In this dark sci-fi comedy, Robert Pattinson stars as the unfortunate space worker who continues to be killed and printed like paper. Pattinson is unleashed with physical humor as multiple Mickeys have to save the day with a cruel story of empathy.
