Last week was about Taylor Swift, but this week is Nine Inch Nails\u2019 album-release party in theaters \u2014 a.k.a. Tron: Ares. That\u2019s the best thing this film, which features Jared Leto<\/a> as an AI protagonist, has going for it. There\u2019s also J.Lo doing what J.Lo does best (performing dramatically), Channing Tatum doing what he does best (being a lovable doof), and Tim Robinson doing what he does best (being a real silly sicko<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Tim Robinson stars as a shopping-mall developer who sits on a chair that collapses onstage, sending him on a quest to track down the manufacturer. Surreal events transpire. If you\u2019re wondering whether he can expand I Think You Should Leave\u2019s specific humor into serialized storytelling form, the answer is \u201cyes\u201d \u2014 by grafting it into the frame of a conspiracy thriller. \u2014Nicholas Quah<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez is an Old Hollywood star in Bill Condon\u2019s movie adaptation of the stage musical, in which young gay window dresser Molina (Tonatiuh) regales his cellmate, political revolutionary Valent\u00edn (Diego Luna), with the story of his favorite musical starring Ingrid Luna (Lopez), a.k.a. the Spider Woman. If you\u2019re missing the feel of Old Hollywood musicals, Kiss of the Spider Woman will try its best to remedy that.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoachim R\u00f8nning does get his own kick-ass score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, all ominous throbbing, but can\u2019t come up with anything visually distinctive. He imports the streaks-of-colored-light showdowns from the digital grid onto the paved roads of a real city, but that turns out to be far less cool looking than dumping a human into an alien computerized world.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(In theaters now<\/a>. Read Alison Willmore\u2019s full review<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In this film<\/a> based on a true story, Channing Tatum plays Jeffrey Manchester, a notorious spree robber known for stealing from a variety of McDonald\u2019s franchises. Roofman is set after Manchester\u2019s prison escape while he\u2019s hiding out in a Toys\u201cR\u201dUs, where he meets and falls in love with employee Leigh Wainscott (Kirsten Dunst).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had The Woman in the Window, The Woman in the Yard, even The Girl on the Train. Well, now she\u2019s on a boat \u2014 or rather, falling off one. Keira Knightley stars in Netflix\u2019s new thriller, based on a book by Ruth Ware, as a journalist aboard a luxury cruise ship who sees somebody getting tossed over the side. When she attempts to raise the alarm, everyone tries to gaslight her into thinking there never was anybody in Cabin 10. What\u2019s the cover-up? \u2014James Grebey<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

James Wan, the man behind Saw, The Conjuring, and Malignant, executive-produces a spooky new Netflix series that stretches the limits of what should count as a documentary. The show features people describing paranormal encounters they claim to have had as reenactments bring their scary stories to life. \u2014J.G.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kathyrn Hunter knocks on Dakota Fanning\u2019s door and tortures her with a box of horrors. Written and directed by The Strangers filmmaker, Bryan Bertino, Vicious torments Fanning\u2019s Polly with a box that asks for three things from her: a thing she needs, a thing she hates, and a thing she loves. If she doesn\u2019t offer them, well, totally chill things will happen, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n

\u27bd\u00a0 Plus, The Conjuring: Last Rites is available on digital, and Elisasue<\/a> is on HBO Max.<\/p>\n

\u201cTim Meadows rarely, if ever, misses when he\u2019s asked to add a little something extra to an existing quality product. He\u2019s doing exactly that in the second season of Peacemaker, a show that established a commitment to being silly and profane in its first season and has done very little to make us think it will do otherwise going forward. (About that: It is kind of funny to think about someone watching the most recent Superman movie and diving into Peacemaker to tie together the now-connected DCU and seeing Tim Meadows curse at an eagle he thinks is a duck while raiding a house that had very recently hosted an orgy featuring dozens of fully nude extras.)\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What could top a Nicholas Hoult cameo<\/a>? Maybe just all of Meadows\u2019s performance in Peacemaker. Read more of writer Brian Grubb\u2019s ode to season two\u2019s secret weapon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pulse and Cure director Kiyoshi Kurosawa is one of the greatest names in J-horror. His latest film is about the most horrifying thing of all. That\u2019s right: capitalism, baby<\/a>! Cloud follows a man who makes a living as an online reseller, but it doesn\u2019t take long before this #Hustle #Grindset wreaks havoc on his life \u2014 not to mention the lives of everybody he has ripped off or slighted. \u2014J.G.<\/p>\n

\n Streaming on The Criterion Channel\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The first live-action DreamWorks Animation<\/a> adaptation has made its way to Peacock. Is this new How to Train Your Dragon as good as the original cartoon, which is also streaming on Peacock? Of course not, but it\u2019s still thrilling<\/a> to watch Hiccup and Toothless soar through the clouds regardless of the medium. \u00a0\u2014J.G.<\/p>\n
