I was a big fan of "Godzilla Minus One," but the latest monster flick, "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," takes the series back to its roots.

The sequel to 2021's "Godzilla vs. Kong" puts past rivalries aside as the laser-spewing lizard and the giant ape come together to face a new hidden enemy that threatens their mutual existence. It will take all the strength the former foes can muster and a little teamwork to stop the frost-spitting giant from escaping the Hollow Earth and wreaking havoc on the surface of the earth. The human side of the story is particularly dry this time around, but if you're looking for two hours of epic battles between skyscraper-sized creatures, you'll have a lot of fun with "Godzilla x Kong: New Empire. Just don't expect anything deeper than popcorn thrills.

Memory, the latest film from award-winning Mexican screenwriter Michel Franco, is a bit of a departure from his strictly pessimistic body of work. Jessica Chastain plays Sylvia, a social worker and single mother who juggles a demanding schedule around her daughter, work, and AA meetings.

Their unexpected encounter reawakens old wounds and memories, and Sylvia and Saul are forced to confront a part of their past they had hoped to forget.
