The Furious is a straight up PURE martial arts action movie, and by that I mean about 70-80% of the runtime is active fighting. But the fighting gets so violent that the movie is bound to draw comparisons to The Raid and The Night Comes For Us, with use of more obvious weapons like knives and hammers, as well as more creative weapons like >!giant blocks of ice and an entire bicycle.!< The stuntwork is the craziest that cinema has ever seen since at least Fury Road, stretching the limits of the human body past what you thought possible.

It's called The Furious because our two protagonists go absolutely ballistic by the third act, most of the movie isn't even that gory before then, because they were holding back, but they're are forced to get angrier and angrier to actually stand a chance against the psychotically intimidating bad guys. Yayan Ruhian plays what amounts to a slasher villain with a bow and arrow as his signature weapon, and Brian Le gets to be the muscular henchmen who headbutts motherfuckers with the force of a freight train.

The movie releases in theaters June 12th. I promise this isn't a paid promotion or whatever, I'm just autistically hyperfixated on this right now, and really feel the desire to try and hype you up too.

Fury Road meets Squid Game!

Beast Race/Corrida Dos Bichos is an action sports drama set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic Rio de Janeiro about parkour races involving capoeira combat. It is directed by Fernando Meirelles, who you might know as the same person who directed City of God (2002). It had its premier at South by Southwest, and I'm shocked at how little press it's gotten because it's absolutely nuts. It will be on Amazon Prime sometime this year.

The first is Vampire Zombies... From Space! which as you might expect is a campy throwback comedy which knows exactly what it is and while it isn't a masterpiece, I have difficulty imagining not enjoying your time watching it. The special effects are so perfectly silly, and the themes of fatherhood hit just enough to not be completely empty calories.

The second is The House Was Not Hungry Then, which could be pitched as a combination of Skinamarink and Presence, which obviously means some people will absolutely abhor it. Like Skinamarink it's a very slow paced movie the builds atmosphere with it's ambient shots, and like Presence it's a movie that uses a gimmicky camera perspective and doesn't even try to be particularly scary. If you're down for it, I think it accomplishes something quite interesting.
