This Side of Summer
Although she was crowned prom queen, something isn’t clicking for Sierra (Soleil Bouchereau) as she finds herself in the incessant gravitational pull of the aloof Henry (William Shewfelt). She spends her summer killing time doing whatever works while in and out of his orbit. Her closest friend Amy (Krista West) awakens to the toxicity of her romantic partner Ray (Zander Wylie) who is coincidentally her work superior at the local Donut Shop. While Ray earnestly attempts to conjure all of the tenderness he can, he watches the ever so gradual slipping away of Amy throughout a never-ending summer vacation.

The Naked Gun: New Squad on Fire!
Naked Gun: The New Police Squad Team delivers exactly what fans want: relentless, expertly crafted chaos that honors the original while cranking everything up to eleven. The gags fire at machine-gun pace—sight jokes layered with wordplay and physical comedy so outrageous it borders on art. It's gleefully self-aware without being cynical, silly without being stupid, and maintains that perfect ZAZ-style balance of treating absolute absurdity with complete seriousness. The film knows exactly what it is: a comedy missile designed for maximum laughs, and it hits its target with surgical precision. Pure, unhinged entertainment that proves spoof comedy still has plenty of life left in it.
