“It works mostly because of Tatum and Dunst, a rare on-screen pairing of single parents in their 40s, both trying to navigate a stressful situation, hard enough even without the criminality. There’s real chemistry there.”– Benjamin Lee, Guardian 

“A House of Dynamite,” R, 1 hour, 52 minutes - Playing out a nightmare scenario with nerve-wracking plausibility, director Kathryn Bigelow's (Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) masterfully-constructed A House of Dynamite is a hyperrealistic political procedural that embeds the increasingly tense viewer in the situation rooms and military outposts and presidential helicopters where the action unfolds. The film portrays what could happen if a nuclear weapon is fired from a submarine in the Pacific corridor towards continental United States, and how the chain of command would respond in the 18 minutes it takes for it to strike a major city. Focusing on how the morning unfolds for a handful of characters whose job it is to be armed with knowledge and preparation if the United States is faced with a hostile action, the film’s tension mounts to an almost unbearable level. It’s an ensemble cast (Rebecca Ferguson, Jared Harris, Jason Clarke, Gabriel Basso, and Idris Elba) in the truest sense because every actor is a piece in the puzzle in the same way that each of the roles they play, and their real-life counterparts, have a specific function in the event of a nuclear attack. Everything everyone does is to serve the only person empowered to make any decisions, the President. Can you evacuate, can you warn, and more importantly, do you retaliate, and against whom when you don’t know who fired the shot? The result is a gripping and anxiety-inducing film that feels urgent and immediate. Opening Friday Nov. 7, 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 8, 7 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 9, 2 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Nov. 13, 7 p.m.

“Your pulse will quicken, your knuckles will whiten, and you will consider the prospect of nuclear annihilation as more likely than before the viewing.” – Wenlei Ma, The Nightly 

“Frankenstein,” R, 2 hours 29 minutes - Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley's incredibly influential 1818 Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus - the classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. Del Toro’s Frankenstein is a story about stories, about fathers and sons, innocents and monsters, and the madness of creation, letting both Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creation (Jacob Elordi) tell their sides of the tale. The film opens in the desolate Arctic, where Victor has chased his creation, and flashes back as Frankenstein relates his life’s story. Aptly, this screen rendition is composed of stitched-together subgenres. It’s part fairy tale, part dark fantasy and part body-horror. But it’s perhaps best tagged as Gothic romanticism. Every frame is filled with burnished images, elaborate symbolism, ornate production design and a lyrical score. It’s resolutely performed by all, dazzles with craft, and throbs with the passion of its creator. Opening Friday, Nov. 14, 7 p.m.

“Lightning, camera, action… Frankenstein is brought to life in glorious, Gothic fashion by Guillermo del Toro’s painstaking artistry and Mike Hill’s elegant creature design. A big film with a huge beating heart.” – Jamie Graham, Empire Magazine
