The trailer for the movie seemed like a mixed bag of action, daddy issues, martial arts, and everything you can imagine. It goes without saying that the chaotic trailer for the movie created much buzz for its release, which took place on September 26.
- The Smashing Machine
Dwayne Johnson, or The Rock, has never been seen with hair for a long time. Finally, he is doing a movie without his bald head, where the artist portrayed the character of Mark Kerr, a real-life successful MMA fighter who is having a hard time navigating his own personal life. It seems like Johnson has committed to playing a multilayered role, which he has not done before. His main domain lies in action comedy, but this time, the actor seems pretty serious with his character choice and the portrayal. This movie can offer you a fresher feeling than the regular flicks.
- Frankenstein
Guillermo del Toro is one of those directors who can add brightness even in the darkest stories, and the upcoming Frankensteinian experiment can set the right example for that. Netflix has paired with the director to create this gripping story, which is already quite famous among all. Portraying a known story is often difficult than being easy, as audiences have a lot of expectations with it. Toro likes it very much. He has utilized the lush gothic atmosphere along with Issac Oscar’s remarkable acting to create a movie that can leave you with a lasting impact.

This amazing movie hit the theaters on October 17 and gained much critical acclaim from the experts.
- Bugonia
It is finally clear now that nobody can separate the strong pair of director Yorgos Lanthimos and delightful actress Emma Stone. If you think ‘Poor Things’ is quite freaky, then you’d better watch ‘Bugonia’ where a conspiracy takes place among twisted humans regarding aliens. But who is the better liar? Of course, the humans! That is the specialty of Lathimos that he always manages to provide metaphoric references to society, capitalism, classism, and other societal issues in an enjoyable cinematic way. The plot for this movie thickens as it progresses, and you’d better watch it till the end!
- Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
Jeremy Allen White gathered a lot of attention after his beautiful performance in ‘The Bear’, and now, he has made his place in Hollywood as the actor is playing the character of Bruce Springsteen for the biopic Springsteen. The main story for the movie is based on a personal excavation during the recording of Nebraska, which took place earlier in his career. Therefore, audiences can expect an emerging and young Bruce in this movie who later became one of the most significant personas in music and culture.
- A House of Dynamite
Director Kathryn Bigelow has a knack for making movies that involve terrorist manhunts and bomb diffusers, and this time, the director has spiked the threat meter even higher with a plot that involves the launch of a nuclear weapon.

Their prime duty is to stop the launch of the nuclear missile, which is aimed at the Midwest of America. There are many important decisions that need to be made while keeping loyalty, integrity, and politics in mind. It is surely a gripping story that everyone should watch.
- The Running Man
Stephen King novels are the best inspiration for most Hollywood movies, and ‘Running Man’ is the prime example of that. Previously, its original theatrical adaptation took place with a cheesy action movie that showed a dystopic future where people’s favorite TV show has them watching convicts running for their freedom. Instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger, it will be Glen Powell this time who plays the lead character. The trailer movie did create a buzz, but it is still not clear whether this movie can match the exact potential like the novel itself.
- Wicked: For Good
The first part of Wicked grabbed much attention, not just because of Ariana Grande but also for providing a fresh perspective on Oz. The glittery fairy tale with a gothic witch, where friendship matters more than anything, is something that can win the hearts of even adults. Now, it is time for the second part of the movie, which is ‘Wicked: For Good’, that is all set to release on November 21st. The second part of the movie will carry more twists and turns, and the viewers seem to be pretty excited about it, just like the Disney movies.

There’s joy and tragedy, adventure and everything that depicts the human values in a grounded manner. It is a subtle yet inspiring movie for everyone.
- Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
This is the sequel to Knives Out, which can be described as a fun lark divorced from high expectations. Director and writer Rian Johnson seems intent on leaning back into the vibes of the original with a gambit dripping in gothic creepiness and a strong cast surrounding Daniel Craig’s familiar and adored Benoit Blanc. It seems like the mystery still continues, and it will only unravel through the theaters on December 12.
- Hamnet
Hamnet dives straight into the messy business of grief, proving that even the world’s most renowned scribe couldn’t write his way out of loss. It is an adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel. The film follows William and Agnes Shakespeare as they navigate the devastating fallout of their young son’s untimely death. Shakespeare’s find out the emotional side of Shakespeare can make the viewers emotional as well. So, brace yourself for some emotional breakdowns. Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet is going to be an emotional rollercoaster, and everyone is eagerly waiting for it, which is set to release on December 12.
Avatar: Fire And Ash
Avatar has been criticized for many reasons, but that could not stop James Cameron from making more sequels to the film.

With characters like Jake Sully, Neytiri, Kiri, Spider, Payakan, and other cast, the story is going to take many other twists and turns.

- Marty Supreme
Another elevated sports movie from a Safdie brother, Marty Supreme, comes from Josh Safdie and stars Timothée Chalamet as an ebullient tennis player in the 1950s chasing big dreams. Co-starring Tyler, The Creator, Odessa A’zion, and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow in her most substantial non-Marvel role in years, the film looks the part of an hour-long historical epic with a magnetic character study at its heart. In other words, be prepared for Marty Supreme to EAT when it comes to awards season.
No Other Choice
Park Chan-Wook might not have the Oscars that his compatriot Bong Joon Ho has, but the sense from most film fans is that his time will come. From his vengeance masterpieces to his recent bangers, The Handmaiden and Decision To Leave, Director Park has an incredible hit rate, and the buzz out of fall festivals is that his latest lives up to his own high standard.
The Housemaid
Sydney Sweeney scrubbing toilets, Amanda Seyfried popping pills and locking poor girls up in her attic along with hot gardeners and cheating husbands; that sums up the story pretty much. A kitchen Martha Stewart would kill for. The Housemaid – Paul Feig’s adaptation of Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel is a complete guilty pleasure and an entertaining watch for people of all ages. It is all set to release on December 19.
- Nobody Wants This: Season 2
Rom-coms can fizzle when they stray too far from the thrill of the courtship, but S2 of this Emmy-nominated out-of-nowhere charmer is going to test that theory, following Adam Brody and Kristen Bell’s characters as their relationship hits the next level. As with S1, there will be plenty of opportunities for awkwardness, meddling family members, culture clashes, and adorableness. If you have not seen season 1 yet, it is time to binge-watch.
- Monster: The Ed Gein Story
Creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan have a sort of twisted obsession with digging up the graves of history’s most notorious real-life villains. It sees Charlie Hunnam transform himself into soft-spoken body-snatcher Ed Gein via one drooping eyelid and an oversized Oedipal complex. Gein earned the nickname “The Butcher of Plainfield” thanks to his inventive mutilation of victims – both living and buried six feet under. Critics have been calling it the “blueprint for modern horror,” and you should definitely watch it if you enjoy the eerie feeling.
