  • Title: Red Sonja (2025)
  • IMDb: link

Director MJ Bassett‘s Red Sonja is a bit of a mixed bag that makes several decisions about Sonja and her world that drastically limit the character’s effectiveness on-screen. The first choice is to offer a tragic origin story but somehow not allow for Sonja’s communion with a god granting her the fighting skills necessary to take her revenge until the end of the movie. The choice leaves Sonja a capable warrior for much of the film but far short of the larger-than-life She-Devil with a Sword who has entranced readers for more than 50 years.

1995’s Copycat is more notable for its casting of two female leads, neither relegated to a romantic interest, while still relying on the typical Hollywood serial killer script complete with plot holes and an absurd final act. Sigourney Weaver stars as former serial killer expert Dr. Helen Hudson who goes into seclusion after nearly being killed by the disturbed Daryll Lee Cullum (Harry Connick Jr.) following on of her lectures. Sometime later, having noticed a pattern in a series of killings around San Francisco, the agorophobic Helen reaches out to the police with her theory.

Crime 101

  • Title: Crime 101
  • IMDb: link

Writer/director Bart Layton‘s adaptation of Don Winslow‘s novella offers a mix between a heist film and a drama featuring the interconnected lives of strangers who converge. Our characters include our noble and uncatchable thief (Chris Hemsworth), the girl (Monica Barbaro) he begins dating after she literally crashes into him, a good cop (Mark Ruffalo) on the outs with his own department for following evidence rather than towing the company line, a middle-aged insurance agent (Halle Berry) passed over for another raise, and a second, more reckless, thief (Barry Keoghan) looking to steal a big score from Hemsworth’s character.
