Now, Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes the franchise into new territory by shifting its tone away from war aspects seen in the prequel trilogy and focusing on an adventurous coming-of-age story while honoring Caesar’s legacy.

NOC Review: ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ is a Macabre and Quirky Cult Classic!
The ’80s are alive! THEY’RE ALIVE (sorry I couldn’t resist). Honestly, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a movie like Lisa Frankenstein: a tribute to Tim Burton, Georges Méliès, and the ’80s all rolled into one. The directorial debut of Zelda Williams, with a biting and hilarious script from Diablo Cody, this is a fun, dark, and oddly cute movie that’s not afraid to let its freak flag fly! And that rareness makes it even more special when a film like this comes along.

NOC Review: ‘Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’ is the DC ‘Endgame’ Event We Needed
I had this whole preamble written, but here’s the most important thing. It’s tempting to say that Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is the best DC Comics movie made to date.
