Toy Story 5

The toys are back in Toy Story 5, and this time it's Toy meets Tech. Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the rest of the gang's jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad, a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same? With Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack and the rest of the fantastic cast all returning, Toy Story 5 is hilarious, magical, and genuinely moving. It may very well end up being one of the best films you see this year.

Disclosure Day

After Kansas City meteorologist Margaret Fairchild experiences a terrifying and unexplained event during a live television broadcast, the world becomes consumed by fear, paranoia, and questions about extraterrestrial life. As governments attempt to suppress the growing panic, cybersecurity expert Daniel Kellner uncovers evidence of a decades-long conspiracy tied to mysterious alien encounters. Together, they race to expose the truth before powerful forces silence them forever. Critics are calling Disclosure Day Steven Spielberg’s best film in 20 years! Thrilling, funny, deeply emotional high-wire act with Emily Blunt giving a career performance along side Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth and Coleman Domingo.

Backrooms

Clark, a furniture store owner, becomes fixated after discovering a strange doorway to an unknown and unstable reality. He is gradually consumed by the Backrooms, an endless shifting labyrinth of liminal spaces where logic and time break down. Dr. Mary Kline, his therapist, becomes increasingly drawn into his case as his obsession deepens. As Clark ventures deeper inside, he encounters traces of other lost explorers and begins to question whether escape is possible. With two excellent actors like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinswe, Backrooms is a deliciously unnerving, hauntingly original horror film and creates something truly original and memorable.

Pressure

In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, Pressure follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg as they face an impossible choice--launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether. A fascinating look at one of the most consequential moments in history, Pressure is a nail biting, emotionally powerful war time drama with compelling performances from Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott.
