Freeze Frame: “The Gorge” (PG-13), “Kinda Pregnant” (R)
The Apple TV+ movie "The Gorge" is half of a really solid sci-fi thriller. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy are fine in this high concept horror flick about two highly skilled assassins who are assigned to guard opposite sides of a mysterious ravine. One side is part of the Eastern...
Take Two: “The Substance” (R)
Demi Moore ("Ghost") and Margaret Qualley ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood") star in the grisly horror entry, "The Substance."
Freeze Frame: “The Brutalist” (R), “Nickel Boys” (R), “Wolf Man” (R), “Back in Action” (PG-13)

Freeze Frame: “Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part One” (PG-13), “The Miracle Club” (PG-13), “Bird Box Barcelona” (R), “Sound of Freedom” (PG-13)
Tom Cruise is back, this time battling Artificial Intelligence in the zippy action thriller, "Mission Impossible-Dead Reckoning, Part One."
