The Marsh King's Daughter

Daisy Ridley stars in this adaptation of the 2017 novel of the same name as a woman still haunted by the conflicting nature of her childhood raised in the Michigan wilderness. We see a bit of Helena’s (Brooklynn Prince) childhood with her domineering father (Ben Mendelsohn) teaching her about nature before mother and daughter escape into a city for the first time and it’s revealed he had kidnapped her mother (Caren Pistorius) years before making her his wife.

What Happens in Miami

What Happens in Miami is a lackluster thriller focused on a group of friends Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut, Annalisa Cochrane, Rachel Leyco, and Jada Elena Wooten one of whom (Cochrane) goes missing while on spring break. The focus on the film isn’t about the loss of their friend, what happened to her, emotional drama or fallout but instead the girls being afraid of the police who for some unknown reason believe they are better suspects than the missing girl’s drug dealer boyfriend (Christopher Collins) who was with her when she went missing.

Campbell Scott stars as an expert who is putting the finishing touches on a “process” (the details of which are kept vague).

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory - Free Fall / That Night

“Free Fall” reintroduces Yaz (Kausar Mohammed) who has been working through her dino-triggered PTSD and helping others with similar issues in a dino-free zone. She’s less than thrilled about the news someone is using dinosaurs to hunt them, and initially refuses to leave. A dino attack controlled by DPW agents changes her mind while also allowing Yaz to show Sammy (Raini Rodriguez) how well the rehab has worked and how strong she is now. Barely surviving the attack, the trio decide to hitch a ride and find out who is behind this conspiracy.
