Last The Night (Pacerville) (2022) Movie Review
The pandemic has brought the world to a standstill, and the film industry is no exception. Last the Night, also known as Pacerville, directed by Nick Leisure and written by himself and Tom Chilcoat, is set during the pandemic and stars Brian Austin Green in the lead role. However, it's not an over-exaggeration to categorize this movie as one of the worst movies in recent memory.

Ryan Gosling may not have played a superhero yet, but he gets closer than ever before in the mega-budget Netflix production “The Gray Man.” The streaming service's summer blockbuster is from the directors of “Avengers: Endgame,” Anthony and Joe Russo, and is based on the book by Mark Greaney. Netflix has opened not just their wallet, but an entire bank vault for the Russos to adapt the book with an eye to starting a new mega-franchise of their own. However, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that Netflix has too little creative oversight over projects like these, just letting creators run off with their money and not really caring about what they deliver.

At the age of 13, I experienced my first horror movie that truly left me trembling. It was Scott Derrickson's "Sinister," and even after rewatching it multiple times and seeing countless horror films since then, it still manages to send shivers down my spine. So, when I heard about "The Black Phone," a film directed by Derrickson, co-written by Robert Cargill, and starring Ethan Hawke, I knew I had to watch it.

Gerard Butler, the Scottish actor known for his roles in 300, Law Abiding Citizen, and Phantom of the Opera, has had his fair share of career highs and lows. While he has shown promise in certain roles, his poor choices in film have resulted in several lackluster performances over the years. Among his worst performances is his role in Last Seen Alive, a thriller that fails to deliver on every level.

The film "Watcher" by Chloe Okuno is a chilling and stylish thriller that captures the emotional disintegration of Julia, played by Maika Monroe. Julia is a young woman who has moved to Bucharest with her husband Francis, played by Karl Glusman. They have relocated because Francis is half-Romanian and speaks the language, but Julia is a newcomer who is disoriented and lonely. Her growing sense of uneasiness and dread is palpable, and it is clear that something is not right about the man in the apartment building across from hers, who is always staring at her.

"Shotgun Wedding" is a romantic action-comedy movie that offers viewers an entertaining escape from reality. The film begins as a typical romantic comedy, but things take a wild turn when the couple and their wedding party find themselves dealing with pirates on a remote island near the Philippines. Produced by Jennifer Lopez's company, the movie is a blend of humor, action, and romance, featuring a talented cast that delivers excellent performances.

Director Daniel Stamm's return to the horror genre with his new film Prey for the Devil has failed to impress, as it rehashes the same storyline as William Friedkin’s The Exorcist. Stamm attempts to deliver a demon-possession movie that fails to do much beyond recycling the familiar tropes of the genre.

This is the premise of The Last of Us, a post-apocalyptic TV drama with a steady and meditative pace that will keep you on the edge of your seat. While its zombie skeleton may remind you of The Walking Dead, its heart is more in line with Station Eleven.
