Scream VI, which takes place a year after the events of the previous film, continues the Ghostface killings tradition by bringing back familiar Woodsboro residents including Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and the Meeks-Martin twins (Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding). Scream VI is a jovial addition to the series that maintains tension and opens the door to other adventures. It is brimming with slasher excitement and dripping with gore. Yael Tygiel.

Babylon (2022)
Movie Time: 3 hr 9 min
Genre: Drama
Director: Damien Chazelle
Cast: Brad Pitt, Jean Smart , Margot Robbie
The story of Babylon is set in the era of old Hollywood decadence between silent and sound films. Damien Chazelle, the writer and director of La La Land, isn’t afraid to admit his love for Hollywood when it was young and fresh, and it shines through in every scene he directs. A light period comedy like La La Land and a sombre investigation of obsession and death like Whiplash combine perfectly in Babylon, which feels like the ideal fusion of his two previous Academy Award-winning films. The Inmate Diego Calva and Birds of Prey’s Margot Robbie steal the show, consuming every frame they are in and grabbing the audience’s attention with their powerful performances. Tauri Miller
