In theatres:

- Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025): This is the sixth film in the franchise which began 25 years ago focusing on a group of young people heading out on a school trip with one of them, Alex Browning, having a premonition about a plane crash. Several of the students followed Alex's lead and got off the plane, which crashed killing over a hundred people ... but death doesn't like to be cheated, and the survivors began to die one-by-one in a horrible series of events. Now, a quarter century later, Stefani Reyes (Kaitlen Santa Juana) seems to have inherited her grandmother's gift or curse of second sight, and foresees the death of her entire family. This film, with an 18A rating and shot on the Lower Mainland, is a slick, sharp, and well-produced piece of work in which Stefani, disturbed by a recurring nightmare in which dozens of people die when a 40-story-high revolving restaurant slowly falls apart high in the sky, decides to find members of her estranged family to see if she can get to the bottom of the terrible dreams

- Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025): If I were titling this alleged thriller that stars Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) as a fictionalized version of himself, I would call it "Hurry Up and End Already." For me, not being a big fan of The Weeknd's work, this was nothing more than a vanity project, a self-indulgent romp in a world that most of us would not populate. It is little more than an extended music video and was released on the same day as the album "Hurry Up Tomorrow" which was produced in conjunction with the movie. The story, such as it is, focuses on The Weeknd as he embarks on a world tour, bitter and twisted over a romantic breakup, and indulging in heavy, drug-fueled partying along with his manager Lee (Barry Keoghan) who is also his best friend. In a parallel series of incidents, a girl named Anima (Jenna Ortega) is lighting a house on fire before finding her way to the Weeknd's concert, where, based on an actual incident, the singer loses his voice, in part because of his substance abuse and in part because of the stress in his life caused by the bad break-up ... and he blames friend and manager Lee for enabling him, and for bringing him to this place in his career. He and Anima disappear after his voice-loss incident, and begin a relationship largely based on the lyrics to the songs on the album

On Amazon Prime:

- A Working Man (2025): In theaters just two months ago, this well-crafted action-thriller stars Jason Statham as a one-time Royal Marine Black Ops man of a thousand killer skills named Levon Cade, now working for a construction family in Chicago as a man in a hardhat, his chosen profession, to put the old life behind him. Of course it isn't long before the teenage daughter of his employer is kidnapped during a night out with friends celebrating the end of their first semester in college, which threatens to push Cade back into the "life" he wanted to forget. Initially he says to his boss (Michael Pena) that he can't help, but in no time, he's on the case looking for the Russian mobsters that run a human trafficking business, with the young girl their latest star. And that's when the plan comes together. Cade works his way up the mafia chain from the low end to the high end leaving a growing body count in his wake, and employing a wide array of lethal weapons
