Hey everyone! Welcome back to What the Hell Should I Watch? I’m Steve Stebbing, joined as always by Chloe Stebbing, and we’ve got a loaded lineup this week—sequels, game adaptations, art-house swings, streaming gems, and… some total disasters.
🎯 New in Theaters:
🎯 The Accountant 2 – Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal return in this surprisingly fun, action-packed sequel with great brotherly chemistry. Gavin O’Connor delivers again.
🎮 Until Dawn – David F. Sandberg adapts the hit video game, minus Rami Malek. Gamers aren’t happy, but is it still a solid horror flick? We dig in.
🇫🇷 Bonjour Tristesse – A bold directorial debut remake of Otto Preminger’s 1958 film. Artsy, coming-of-age drama set in the south of France with Chloe Sevigny and Klaes Bang.
🧝♂️ Absolute Miss of the Week:
❌ In the Lost Lands – George R.R. Martin + Paul W.S. Anderson + Milla Jovovich + Dave Bautista = pure CGI chaos. Easily one of the worst of the year. We rip it apart.
📀 Physical Media Spotlight:
Star Trek: Section 31 – Michelle Yeoh leads a spinoff that should’ve stayed shelved.
4K Clint Eastwood Classics: Dirty Harry, Pale Rider, and The Outlaw Josey Wales.
Timestalker (DVD) – A weird gem from VIF, now available. Nick Frost is wild in this one.
Anora (Criterion Collection) – An Oscar-winner we loved from the VIFF circuit, now essential for collectors.
📺 Streaming Highlights:
💥 Havoc (Netflix) – Gareth Evans (The Raid) returns with Tom Hardy in a brutal crime thriller. Bloody, relentless, and a must-watch for action junkies.
🧨 G20 (Prime Video) – Viola Davis plays the President in a White House Down-style thriller. Decent cast, forgettable film.
🐻 Also out: Paddington in Peru – not quite Paddington 2, but still full of heart.
🎬 Coming next week:
Thunderbolts (Marvel is back!)
Clown in a Cornfield (from the Tucker & Dale vs. Evil team)
Fight or Flight (Josh Hartnett vs assassins on a plane)
Sharp Corner (Ben Foster + Cobie Smulders drama from VIFF)
