‘Roofman’ (2025)

Directed by Derek Cianfrance, this film tells the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a veteran who gained notoriety for breaking into homes and, after escaping custody, hiding within the walls of an abandoned electronics store. Channing Tatum stars as Manchester, supported by a cast including Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, and Peter Dinklage. Cianfrance co-wrote the script with Kirt Gunn, and Andrij Parekh handled the cinematography.

The film follows the detailed story of Manchester’s carefully planned robberies, his escape from prison, and how he created a new life while avoiding the authorities. It combines the specifics of police procedure with an in-depth look at his character. Produced by Limelight and edited by Jim Helton and Ron Patane, the film mixes real facts from the case with dramatic recreations, also highlighting the detectives, people in the community, and the stores involved.

‘Vicious’ (2025)

Bryan Bertino wrote and directed this scary thriller, featuring Dakota Fanning and a supporting cast including Kathryn Hunter, Mary McCormack, Rachel Blanchard, and Devyn Nekoda. Richard Suckle produced the film, which is relatively short and relies on strong acting to build suspense.

This film tells a story of growing unease and fear, pushing the main character to their limits. Featuring a haunting score by Tom Schraeder, the movie builds tension through its focus on claustrophobic settings, deliberate camera work, and a small cast of characters whose decisions fuel the horror.

‘Ozzy: No Escape from Now’ (2025)

Director Tania Alexander’s documentary provides a personal look into Ozzy Osbourne’s life, covering his recent health struggles, how he approaches making music, and his family relationships. The film includes honest interviews with Sharon, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne, plus insights from fellow musicians like Tony Iommi, Duff McKagan, Robert Trujillo, Maynard James Keenan, Zakk Wylde, and Chad Smith.

This film, a collaboration between Echo Velvet, MTV Entertainment Studios, and Paramount Television Studios, tells a story of resilience. It uses both recent interviews and old footage to show the challenges of injury, the process of surgery, and what it takes to recover. The film weaves together personal experiences with key moments in a career, alongside insights from the people who helped create the music and shaped its later sound.

‘I See You’ (2019)

This suspenseful thriller, directed by Adam Randall and written by Devon Graye, centers on Jackie and Greg Harper (played by Helen Hunt and Jon Tenney) whose lives are thrown into turmoil when their child goes missing. Judah Lewis plays their son, and Owen Teague appears in a key supporting role.

The story is told through different characters’ perspectives, gradually revealing the chaos and strange happenings within the Harper family’s home—including jokes, people going missing, and bizarre events. By strategically revealing information and revisiting past scenes with new insights, the film combines the feel of a detective investigation with the tension of a home invasion, all while hinting at local myths and legends.

‘Breaking In’ (2018)

Directed by James McTeigue and written by Ryan Engle, this thrilling film stars Gabrielle Union as Shawn, a mother who must use her wits to protect her family from a group of home invaders at her father’s secure property. Billy Burke plays the cunning leader of the intruders, and the cast also includes Ajiona Alexus, Seth Carr, Levi Meaden, and Richard Cabral.

The movie’s story revolves around a high-tech smart home that becomes both a challenge and a tool for the main character, Shawn, as he uses its security features – like cameras, locks, and hidden areas – to his advantage. Made by Will Packer Productions, the film highlights clever movement through the house – using air vents, rooftops, and safe rooms – and focuses on how a parent uses their wits to survive.

‘Nightcrawler’ (2014)

Dan Gilroy wrote and directed this modern noir thriller, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Lou Bloom, a freelance videographer who hunts for footage of nighttime crimes in Los Angeles. Rene Russo plays Nina Romina, a news director, and the cast also includes Riz Ahmed as Lou’s helper and Bill Paxton as a seasoned videographer.

I was completely drawn into this film’s story of a guy, Bloom, trying to make it as a freelance news photographer. It really shows how far he’ll go to get those incredible, attention-grabbing shots, even getting involved in the stories themselves. What struck me most was how the visuals – the city lights and the sounds of police scanners – really brought the whole world of local news to life. It felt like you were right there with him, moving between news desks, police radios, and the freeways, seeing everything unfold.

’30 Days of Night’ (2007)

Directed by David Slade and based on the graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, this film stars Josh Hartnett and Melissa George as a couple going through a separation. The story unfolds in a remote Alaskan town as it’s plunged into a full month of darkness, and the community is terrorized by a group of attackers led by Danny Huston.

The filmmakers, Stuart Beattie and Brian Nelson, build tension by focusing on how quickly the town is running out of supplies, daylight, and safe places. The movie’s visuals highlight the cold, darkness, and the unsettling way the creatures communicate. Strong supporting performances from actors like Ben Foster and Mark Boone Junior further enrich the story of the town’s desperate fight to survive.

‘Finding Neverland’ (2004)

This biographical drama, directed by Marc Forster and written by David Magee, tells the story of playwright J.M. Barrie (played by Johnny Depp) and Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (played by Kate Winslet). The film also features strong performances from Julie Christie, Dustin Hoffman, and Freddie Highmore, and explores the origins of Barrie’s most celebrated work.

The film tells the story of J.M. Barrie’s close bond with the Davies family and how their shared games and adventures inspired his famous play. It jumps between their homes, outdoor spaces, and the theater itself, illustrating how their relationships, the play’s development, and financial support all came together to make a magical story a reality.

‘Men in Black’ (1997)

I absolutely loved this movie! It’s a really funny sci-fi film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and it’s based on a comic book by Lowell Cunningham. The script is by Ed Solomon, and it stars Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith as these amazing agents – K and J – who work for a top-secret group dealing with aliens right here on Earth. Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Rip Torn are also fantastic in it; they all play really important parts.

The story centers on a secret government agency that deals with aliens, new technologies, and keeping everything hidden. When a powerful artifact threatens the entire galaxy, it sparks a frantic pursuit through New York City. The film’s look is defined by impressive practical effects – creatures by Rick Baker, clever physical gags, and sets filled with inventive gadgets – and a strong supporting cast including Tony Shalhoub who bring the agency’s shadowy world to life.

‘Selena’ (1997)

Directed by Gregory Nava, this film tells the story of Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. Jennifer Lopez stars as Selena, with Edward James Olmos playing her father, Abraham Quintanilla. The cast also includes Jon Seda as Chris Pérez, Jackie Guerra as Suzette Quintanilla, and Constance Marie as Marcella Quintanilla.

The movie follows the story of a family band as they tour, try to reach a wider audience, and record music that eventually becomes popular. It features recreated concerts, accurate costumes, and a focus on the music itself, showing both iconic performances and the important choices made by producers, record labels, and family members who helped the band succeed.
