There’s a lot of mid-year stinkers this month, but there’s some fun-looking actions movies too. All your cinematic releases are listed below!

New in theaters Friday, April 5

Epic Tails is an animated film about a cat and mouse who travel to Ancient Greece.

Chicken for Linda! is a French animated film about a widow who sets out to buy ingredients for her daughter’s dinner–in spite of a strike and an inability to cook. I’m crying already. 

The Beast is a French and Canadian science fiction drama. Set in 1910, 2014, and 2044, a woman is plunged into her past lives after she attempts to quell strong emotions.

Housekeeping for Beginners is a Macedonian drama. A woman who never wanted kids finds herself raising her girlfriend’s children.

The Greatest Hits is a romantic fantasy about a Cool Girl whose record collection transports her through time. The film will stream on Hulu on Friday, April 12.

The Old Oak is a British drama about a struggling pub owner who befriends a Syrian refugee. I usually hate these movies but I think this might end up being good. Especially if all the dumb, old men realize sharing your town is the whole fucking point of being alive. 

Monkey Man is an action film co-written, directed, and starring Dev Patel. Patel’s character is a nameless young man avenging his mother’s death. Looks good! 

Parachute, directed by Brittany Snow, follows a woman who makes a friendly shortly after leaving rehab.

On the Adamant is a French documentary about a floating adult day center located on the Seine.

The First Omen, a prequel to 1976’s The Omen, is co-written and directed by Arkasha Stevenson. An American woman sent to Rome uncovers a conspiracy to bring the birth of the antichrist. 

New in theaters Wednesday, April 10

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is a Hindi-language thriller (of no relation to the 1998 Hindi-language comedy) about a group of special soldiers who must recover a weapon from a scientist using AI to destroy India.

New in theaters Friday, April 12

Arcadian stars Nicholas Cage as a father fighting to survive with his sons in a farmhouse at the end of the world. Nicholas Cage makes a lot of bad movies–and occasionally he makes a really good movie–and this might be closer to the latter than the former. 

Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill is a documentary about folk singer Judee Sill, who experienced a two-year meteoric rise after a troubled adolescence and influenced many artists. Sill died of a drug overdose in 1979.

Sting is a horror movie about giant spiders.

Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead a remake, which should be better than this, is about a group of children left to their own devices when their awful baby sitter (June Squibb!) Dies In the Night, leaving the eldest to get a job with a fashionable woman (this time it’s Nicole Richie!) so they can afford to eat. I’m right on it, Rose!

Civil War stars our girl Kirsten Dunst as a photojournalist on a dangerous journey through America while it wages its second civil war. This is a little on the nose, Alex Garland! Casting Nick Offerman as a dictator is a nice touch, though. (The worst part might be the ceaseless march of capitalism.) 

The Absence of Eden is a thriller starring Zoe Saldaña as a woman trying to cross the U.S./Mexico border. Her husband, Marco Perego, is co-writer and director.

LaRoy, Texas is a dark comedy about a cuckolded man suspected of killing his wife’s boyfriend in a town seemingly filled with idiots.

Escape from Germany is a drama about missionaries trying to get out of Hitler’s Germany. This movie is so Mormon.

New in theaters Friday, April 19

Abigail is a reimagining of Dracula’s Daughter. A group of people are hired to protect the daughter of a powerful Russian kingpin, only to find that she’s gonna eat them. Cool.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a personal challenge against my own values because it stars Henry Cavill (hot)–punching nazis (always good) but is directed by Guy Ritchie (ew and how and why). This film is a frothy take on an Britain’s Special Operations Executive.

Blood for Dust is an action movie about a bunch of criminals in Billings. (Unfair to Billings.) Looks bad.

Hard Miles is an inspirational drama about troubled youth engage in long-distance riding. 

Villains Incorporated is a dark comedy about aspiring villains. It reminds me of the first half of Despicable Me–this is a great idea.

Egoist is a gay Japanese drama.

Spy x Family Code: White is an anime spy comedy. A young woman must cook a meal and keep world peace. 

New in theaters Friday, April 26

Challengers, a sports comedy, stars Zendaya as a tennis prodigy in a love triangle. 

Cinderella’s Revenge is a violent take on the classic fairy tale. I’m not mad about it. 

Boy Kills World is an action movie that might be fun? Bill Skarsgård stars as a deaf and mute man (with an inner voice from H. Jon Benjamin) seeking revenge.

Unsung Hero is a Jesus movie about a big family with big dreams.
