🎥 In Theaters This Week


🎥 Billy Idol Should Be Dead
(Wed, Mar 4th — limited release; NY, LA; More Cities to follow)

Punk wasn’t built to last, but Billy Idol never got that memo. Directed by music video visionary Jonas Åkerlund, this feature-length documentary charts Idol’s rise from sneering underground firebrand to MTV-era global force, weaving rare archival footage and candid interviews into a portrait of chaos, addiction, reinvention, and survival. Nearly five decades on, Idol is proof that rebellion can evolve without losing its snarl.


🎥 The Bride!
(Fri, Mar 6th — wide release)

Revenge meets resurrection in writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s 1930s reimagining of The Bride of Frankenstein, where loyalty and longing turn combustible. Recent Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley plays a murdered woman brought back to life and unleashed into Chicago’s underworld, while Oscar winner Christian Bale’s monster searches for devotion and finds an outlaw partner instead. This smoky genre mashup turns a classic monster tale into a volatile love story with a rising body count.


🎥 Hoppers
(Fri, Mar 6th — wide release)

Nature finally talks back in Pixar’s eco-charged animated comedy about a teen who trades her skateboard for a mechanical tail. Piper Curda voices Mabel Tanaka, a rebellious skater who accidentally uploads her mind into a lifelike robotic beaver and discovers a forest fed up with human-made destruction. When a corporation moves to bulldoze their sanctuary, Mabel navigates ruthless pond politics to rally the animals, blending high-tech hijinks with Pixar heart and an eco-conscious bite.


🎥 Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release)

War doesn’t wait for retirement. Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby in this feature-length continuation set in 1940 Birmingham, as World War II pulls him out of exile and back into a city under siege. Directed by Tom Harper and written by series creator Steven Knight, the film unfolds amid the rise of fascism in England, forcing Tommy to confront his own son, played by Barry Keoghan, now leading the gang he once ruled, and challenging the legacy he left behind.


🎥 Protector
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release)

Cross the wrong mother and you won’t like the outcome. Milla Jovovich leads the action thriller as Nikki, a decorated war hero pulled back into combat mode when her teenage daughter is abducted by a trafficking ring. Directed by Adrian Grünberg, the film sends Nikki on a relentless hunt that blends Rambo grit with Taken urgency, proving these predators picked the worst possible target to cross.


🎥 Andre Is an Idiot
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release)

Mortality gets the last word in this Sundance-winning documentary, where self-described “idiot” André Ricciardi turns the camera on himself after a devastating colorectal cancer diagnosis. Blending candid vérité with surreal stop-motion, he chronicles his final chapter with dark humor and blunt self-awareness. Less a sentimental goodbye than a clear-eyed warning, the film becomes a pointed call to action about checkups, colonoscopies, and the cost of waiting too long.


🎥 Dolly
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release)

A quiet getaway spirals into captivity when a young woman is abducted by a porcelain-faced killer who wants to turn her into his surrogate child. Fabianne Therese stars opposite Seann William Scott in this grimy ’70s grindhouse throwback, where a grotesque dollhouse becomes the stage for psychological torment and survival.


🎥 Heel
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release; also on
✅VOD)

In filmmaker Jan Komasa’s psychological thriller, Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough play parents who kidnap a troubled local teen and frame it as rehabilitation. Anson Boon’s Tommy is chained in their basement, treated like an unruly dog and subjected to rigid rules as obedience becomes the experiment. This horror-leaning satire examines how easily control disguises itself as compassion, and how far “for your own good” can be pushed before it transforms into cruelty.


🎥 Youngblood
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release)

Talent without control can end a career before it begins in this Canadian ice hockey drama about a gifted player skating on thin ice. Ashton James stars as Dean Youngblood, shipped from Detroit to Canada’s Hamilton Mustangs after burning bridges at home, with Blair Underwood as his stern father and Shawn Doyle as the coach trying to rein him in. On and off the rink, discipline becomes his last shot at respect.


🎥 Mother’s Baby
(Fri, Mar 6th — limited release; also on
✅VOD)

Maternal joy turns to utter dread in this psychological pregnancy thriller about a 40-year-old conductor who conceives after fertility treatment. Marie Leuenberger plays the new mother rattled by complications during delivery, while Claes Bang’s enigmatic doctor oversees her case. When she’s finally reunited with her newborn, something feels disturbingly off, and paranoia begins to eclipse instinct in a slow-burn descent into uncertainty.
