The Creator (2023)
Denzel Washington isn’t the only big-name actor in his family anymore. His son, John David Washington, has been making waves in movies, including this one. Washington plays Joshua Taylor, a U.S. Army sergeant tasked with an important mission to save humanity’s future. The Creator is set in the future year 2065, a decade after an AI, created by the U.S. government, set off a nuclear warhead in Los Angeles, causing humans to rise up and fight back. That is, most humans. Some embrace the technology and believe it will be their salvation.
Joshua is brought in to help fight back and finds himself face to face with “Alphie” (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), a robot in the form of a young girl with tremendous power as an AI weapon. Our reviewer applauds the film’s looks despite its budget, which is much smaller than other blockbuster movies. Though he admits the film’s premise is short-sighted and the movie is disjointed in places, he calls it visually stunning. It’s a storyline that can and likely will be done again.

In the Land of Saints and Sinners (2023)
Liam Neeson solidified himself as an action movie star in films like Taken, and he’s still going strong. Just over a year ago, he starred in this action thriller as a retired hitman who comes out of retirement to help a young girl. But this opens up a world of trouble for the man trying to live a quiet, peaceful life.
Set in Ireland in 1974 during the time known as the Troubles, In the Land of Saints and Sinners had a limited release in theaters but received positive reviews. Empire Magazine’s John Nugent calls it a “solid, old-fashioned Irish Western about what it means to hang up your rifle.”
