- DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaAllison WilliamsBradley WhitfordA young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.Humorously nonsensical horror with a bucketload of tricks to mess with people's minds. However, any amount of trickery is not going to mask that Get Out is nothing more than a simple horror movie. 7/10
- DirectorGlen KeaneStarsKobe BryantAn animated telling of Kobe Bryant's poem 'Dear Basketball'.Nice-looking pencil doodles. Calling a retirement thank you letter a poem is a bit of a stretch, though. 7/10
- DirectorNobuhiko ÔbayashiStarsShunsuke KubozukaShinnosuke MitsushimaKeishi NagatsukaFulfilling his filmmaking dream of 40 years, Nobuhiko Obayashi's luminous new feature "Hanagatami" delivers a timeless story of the pureness of youth beset by the chaos of war.Helsinki Cine Aasia 2018: Obayashi's other strange but compelling works are child's play in comparison. 7/10
- DirectorKore-eda HirokazuStarsMasaharu FukuyamaKoji YakushoSuzu HiroseA courtroom drama centered around the murder of a factory president.Helsinki Cine Aasia 2018: Koreeda shows his immense skill as a filmmaker with this enthralling murder mystery and breathes new life into a genre that has been rather stale for a long time. 9/10
- DirectorMarc WieseStarsDong-Hyuk ShinOh YangnamHyuk KwonShin Dong-Huyk was born on November 19, 1983 as a political prisoner in a North Korean re-education camp.

- DirectorYorgos LanthimosStarsBarry G. BernsonHerb CaillouetBill CampSteven, a charismatic surgeon, is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behavior of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister.Inserting a fucked up story from Greek mythology in a modern setting makes the contents of the story even more jarring. Wouldn't expect anything else from Lanthimos 8/10

Apparently it is pretty easy to be a serial killer when you only kill people the police does not care about. Dude spent over 20 years raping, torturing, and killing prostitutes although he was leaving DNA and other evidence all over the place and everyone around him, including the police, knew that he was into some freaky shit. 7/10

Solid Snake returns to save the world once again.You don't end a video game with a borderline feature film length cutscene sequence. Still a good game, though. 8/10

- DirectorMel BrooksStarsLeslie NielsenMel BrooksPeter MacNicolMel Brooks' parody of the classic vampire story and its famous film adaptations.Less of a mess than the 1992 Dracula, which is a bit embarrassing for Coppola. 6/10
