‘Game Night’ (2018)

A couples’ game night turns into a real kidnapping caper in this tightly constructed action-comedy. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein direct from a screenplay by Mark Perez. The film stars Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams alongside Jesse Plemons, Kyle Chandler, Billy Magnussen, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Sharon Horgan, and Michael C. Hall. With a 100-minute runtime, it blends twisty plotting, visual gags, and a synth-driven score by Cliff Martinez.

‘The Hangover Part II’ (2011)

The Wolfpack’s misadventures shift to Bangkok when pre-wedding plans spiral into another chaotic mystery. Todd Phillips returns to direct from a script by Craig Mazin, Scot Armstrong, and Phillips.

Lawrence Sher again serves as cinematographer, with Christophe Beck composing.

‘A Madea Christmas’ (2013)

Tyler Perry writes, directs, and stars as Madea in this holiday comedy set in a small Southern town facing seasonal family drama and local political squabbles. The ensemble includes Kathy Najimy, Tika Sumpter, Anna Maria Horsford, Chad Michael Murray, and Larry the Cable Guy. The production hails from Tyler Perry Studios and was released by Lionsgate. At 100 minutes, it delivers the series’ signature mix of broad humor and earnest holiday themes.

‘Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers’ (2025)

This true-crime documentary reexamines the life and crimes of Aileen Wuornos, using archival materials, courtroom footage, and rare death-row interviews. Directed by Emily Turner, it traces Wuornos’s path from childhood abuse to the seven murders committed in Florida between 1989 and 1990, and the debates that still surround her case. Netflix bills it as a feature documentary with a 2025 streaming debut. It’s designed as a fact-first counter to decades of sensational retellings.

‘Life of the Party’ (2018)

Melissa McCarthy plays a newly divorced mom who heads back to college—landing in her daughter’s world—in this campus comedy. Ben Falcone directs from a script he co-wrote with McCarthy; the cast includes Gillian Jacobs, Maya Rudolph, Julie Bowen, Molly Gordon, and Jacki Weaver. The film runs 105 minutes and was released by Warner Bros. in 2018. It’s a light, PG-13 crowd-pleaser built around McCarthy’s physical comedy and ensemble banter.
