Pizza Movie (2026) Calculated chaos spins simplest of plot into increasingly surreal sequences as loser students Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone take drugs whose hallucinatory power can only be countered by eating pizza. Accidentally joined by ex-friend Lulu Wilson, epic struggle scores with absurd gags and committed approach.
The Fly (1986) Compelling blend of graphic body horror and tragic relationship as inquisitive Geena Davis is drawn into awkward Jeff Goldblum's teleportation experiments and his inevitable insect transformation. Beyond effective visuals and themes, grip on human drama is what resonates.
Deep Rising (1998) Busy exposition strands gruff captain Treat Williams, confident thief Famke Janssen and various nondescript mercenaries and survivors on luxury liner with killer sea monster intent on carnage. Creature effects and relentless pace produces succession of action sequences and strained humor, yet little dramatic tension.
The Lost Bus (2025) Nervy immediacy of true-life wildfire devastation robustly realized through survival of gutsy schoolteacher America Ferrara with her young class, driven through engulfing flames by understated Matthew McConaughey. Though fumbles background potential, effective on purely visceral level and moving resolve.
Is This Thing On? (2025) Contained approach to glossy drama creates happenstance vibe in sync with approach to messy relationships as unsure Will Arnett discovers intoxicating outlet of stand-up comedy while marriage to wavering Laura Dern falters. Observational humor extends beyond basement stages, a wry, humane gaze.
Zootopia (2016) Persuasive both with zippy narrative and endearing characters, Ginnifer Goodwin's diminutive rabbit determines to join big city police and needs help from Jason Bateman's streetwise fox to solve conspiracy. Realization of anthropomorphic society gains thematic strength of inclusion and tolerance to underpin broad humor and colorful action.
Predator Badlands (2025) Fluid, action storytelling sparks with humor as Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi's outcast warrior seeks redemption and revenge on hostile planet with help from curious, damaged Elle Fanning's android. Polished visuals elevated by casually imaginative setting and energetic, humanely alien characters.
