The funniest choice Park Gyu-tae makes is treating two insecure fathers like mismatched action figures tossed into the same toy box. One is a narcotics cop with a heroic self-image and a dangerous attachment to handcuffs. The other is a younger veterinarian who seems calmer, kinder, and annoyingly better adjusted. Then a kidnapping turns their domestic rivalry into an action-comedy obstacle course, and Husbands in Action finds its best rhythm in watching pride become panic. That setup is simple. Hwang Choong-sik arrests drug lord Ma Do-jun after cracking a drug operation powered by an AI program called NABI. Do-jun’s wife...

Elena dances flamenco for a dying grandmother who missed the ballet recital, and the small betrayal of form says what the child cannot yet name. Ballet belongs to instruction, posture, correction. Flamenco belongs to memory. To the body. To the woman in bed who gave Elena something freer than the world around her permits. Ana Asensio’s Goat Girl takes place in Madrid in 1988, during the brief stretch between two ceremonies: the death of Elena’s grandmother and Elena’s First Communion. One is private, confused, almost hidden from her. The other is public, rehearsed, dressed in white. The film lives in...

A man who treats eye contact as a legal contract is already telling on himself. Darnell, played by Taye Diggs, tells his stepdaughter’s boyfriend to look him in the eyes because “that’s showing respect,” and the scene understands him better than much of the script does. Respect, for Darnell, is never mutual. It is architecture. He wants a house where every gaze, gesture, and title points back to him. Stepfather builds its danger around that domestic fantasy. Asia, played by Tamar Braxton, is recovering from a marriage damaged by Timmy’s cruelty and infidelity. Darnell enters through a grocery-store flirtation, offering...

A loincloth, a fake beard, a pole, and a cross can turn Dolores Park into a theological argument before anyone has said a word. Jennifer M. Kroot’s Hunky Jesus understands that its title event is funny because it is excessive, and political because that excess happens in public. The annual Easter celebration staged by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco brings thousands together for drag numbers, the Foxy Mary contest, and the titular search for the hunkiest Jesus. It looks, at first glance, like sacrilege in glitter. George Takei’s narration gives the film a genial guide through material...

A beach blackened by dead crabs is not an image nature produces politely. It accuses. Jeanie Finlay’s All Rivers Spill Their Stories to the Sea begins from the ecological disaster that struck England’s north east coast on September 25, 2021, when dead and dying crabs and lobsters washed ashore in numbers that turned the tideline into a record of collapse. For the fishing communities around Teesside, this was no abstract environmental warning. It was the sudden disappearance of a livelihood that had passed through generations, from boats to kitchens to mortgages to school shoes. Finlay roots the film in the...

A hidden cat becomes much funnier when it vanishes behind a drawer front simply because the room has been rotated the wrong way. That is the small trick that gives Secret Paws - Cozy Apartments its charm, and it is a smart one. Most hidden cat games work like illustrated posters: scan the lines, pick out the ears, click the tail, repeat. Sagitta Studios’ follow-up to Secret Paws - Cozy Offices keeps the same cozy search structure, then makes perspective the main obstacle. The game gives you three apartments and 14 rooms, each presented as a compact isometric diorama. You...
