The End of Oak Street (2026)
David Robert Mitchell is easily one of my favorite writer-directors. If you’ve seen Under the Silver Lake, you know why.

Mortal Kombat II (2026)
Choose your fighter! Director Simon McQuoid’s Mortal Kombat II (2026) delivers an unapologetic spectacle. It leans heavily into the pop culture absurdity of the late ’80s and ’90s that birthed this now 30-something-year-old franchise. For emphasis, McQuoid puts Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage front and center to test the aging franchise’s might (c’mon, I had to).…
