Greenland 2: Migration (2026)

Greenland 2: Migration (2026)

The Running Man (2025)

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)

The Quiet Earth (1985)

The Quiet Earth (1985)

At the beginning, a man (Bruno Lawrence) wakes up splayed naked on a bed. He’s groggy, soaked in sweat, and disoriented. It is a startling opening shot, full frontal...

Mad Max: Fury Road (2016)

Mad Max: Fury Road (2016)

Mad Max: Fury Road, more so than any of its Mel Gibson, 1980s predecessors, is simply one long car chase. I actually checked my watch at the first point...
