It’s that time of year again. As we tick into the fall schedule, with festivals on the horizon in every direction, studios begin to line-up their big hitters for possible big theatrical, and potential Oscar runs.

Alejandro Aja’s “Oxygen” (Netflix, 05.12.21) his follow up to “Crawl” is an extremely watchable understated horror film.

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, all but delaying a slew of this year’s would-be Oscar contenders, the Academy Awards are still scheduled to happen in 2 months’ time, meaning that certain movies need to be discussed. Is it so surprising that nearly all of the following 13 Best Picture contenders are available on either Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus or Amazon Prime? Of course not.

Hollywood’s most ridiculous awards ceremony returns, albeit six weeks later than usual.

The final X-Men film from Fox, pre-Disney merger, has finally bowed on screens, some two years and five months after it was originally supposed to do so.
