Our preview guide is a quick rundown of things to see and do, plus what makes this event so fun that everyone looks forward to each year.

Director Denis Villeneuve continues the epic sci-fi storytelling to the first part of Dune in Dune: Part Two, which is a visually stunning, tremendously acted, and thrilling sci-fi movie that stands toe to toe with other giants in the genre, like Star Wars or The Matrix.

While Sony’s Spider-Man Universe™ has given us the absolute highs of the animated Spider-Verse, it’s also given us slop like Morbius and, somehow, Madame Web is even worse.  In fact, it’s one of the worst superhero/comic book movies ever made.

Matthew Vaughn returns to the world of espionage with Argylle but unfortunately, the movie prioritizes plot twists at the expense of everything else, like interesting character development.

Jason Statham has recently had a string of mediocre to just plain terrible movies (*cough* Expend4bles *cough*), with only Wrath of Man delivering what we really want from Statham.  The Beekeeper is thankfully peak Statham and utterly ridiculous in almost every way.

I’ve been a huge Wallace & Gromit/Aardman Animation fan since I first saw The Wrong Trousers as a kid randomly on PBS and have loved all the other entries in the series, from the other shorts to Curse of the Were-Rabbit.  So it should go without saying that I was extremely excited for the charming duo’s first foray into VR, The Grand Getaway, which is out now on Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro from Astrea, Aardman, AtlasV and No Ghost Studio.

The Blissfield Butcher has been a wanted serial killer since the 1970s but in 2020 after stealing a magical dagger, he switches bodies with teenager Millie Kessler and continues his killing spree as a teenage girl.

A mysterious drifter and serial killer, John Ryder targets unsuspecting drivers via hitchhiking and tortures anyone who stops with sadistic mind games and a challenge to kill him before he kills them.

A respected but brutal police office, Matthew Cordell is framed by the corrupt mayor and sent to prison, where is killed by several inmates. Coming back as a vengeful zombie, he seeks revenge on everyone that betrayed him and anyone else that gets in his way.

Designed by roboticist Gemma as the perfect childhood companion, M3GAN takes her directive to care for and protect Gemma’s niece Cady to the extreme, threatening and killing anything she deems a threat to Cady.
