“Face of Centuries: Jan S. Kolár and the Afterlives of History (2026)
“Face of Centuries: Jan S. Kolár and the Afterlives of History” is an 18-minute visual essay created by experimental filmmaker and film scholar Stephen Broomer for Deaf Crocodile's Blu-ray collection of The Arrival from the Darkness (1921) and St. Wenceslas (1929). Its subject is the filmmaking career and artistic legacy of Czech director Jan S. Kolár (1896–1973), one of the pioneers of Czech cinema. The essay examines Kolár's place in early Czech filmmaking, including his experimentation across genres and the historical significance of his surviving films. The two principal features offer quite different windows into his work: - The Arrival from the Darkness: occult fantasy, resurrection, alchemy, black magic and time travel. - St. Wenceslas: an ambitious historical epic about tenth-century Bohemia, political conflict and the establishment of Christianity

Experimenting with Swimming, Trauma, and Poetry in "The Chronology of Water"(2026)
The Chronology of Water is a raw, honest, and unforgiving portrayal of how an abusive childhood ripples throughout one’s life. It is definitely the best movie I’ve seen Imogen Poots in. And even though Kristen Stewart has a long acting career for her young age, her directorial skills in this film show a lot of promise. Her feature debut as a director, an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's critically acclaimed 2011 autobiographical memoir, is fully immersive, mesmerizing, and impressive.

'Mortal Kombat' Won't Win Any Awards, but it's a Bloody Good Time
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained.
