Opening This Week: PREDATOR: BADLANDS, DIE MY LOVE, NUREMBERG, PETER HUJAR'S DAY, More
We love movies. And we love the theatrical experience. There's no better way to experience fully the filmmakers' intention.
That being said, we also love physical media. And appreciate streaming services, most of the time, look for our weekly guide every Friday.
Today we introduce our weekly guide to (mostly) genre movies opening in theaters, so you can plan your week accordingly. Look for it every Monday. We'll be adding links to our reviews as they're published (or re-published, in the case of films we've already covered at film festivals).
Predator: Badlands
The film opens Friday, November 7, only in movie theaters, via 20th Century Studios. Visit the official site for locations and showtimes.
Director Dan Tractenberg grabbed everyone's attention with the suspense thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016), then began playing in the Predator franchise space with the excellent thiller Prey (2022), followed by the animated Predator: Killer of Killers (2025), and now Predator: Badlands.
A young Predator (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) teams up with an unexpected ally (Elle Fanning) to battle a powerful adversary, according to the official synopsis. Based on Trachtenberg's track record and the trailer, we're anticipating a galvanizing action thriller.
Die My Love

Look for our review on Tuesday, as well as a feature article on the director's films on Wednesday.
