Happy Halloween<\/a>, readers! I\u2019d encourage you to spend your Halloweekend out and about, but nearly everyone needs some downtime, so that\u2019s where our treats in the form of recommendations come in. For spookier fare, we\u2019ve got a new Yorgos Lanthimos film<\/a> that\u2019ll certainly make you feel icky, a rerelease of two vampire favorites, a \u201cGolden<\/a>\u201d singalong, and a bunch of New Age dinos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reason for Emma Stone\u2019s bald head, Bugonia stars Stone as a pharmaceutical CEO who is abducted by conspiracy-theorist cousins Teddy (Jesse Plemons) and Don (Aidan Delbis). And that\u2019s about all I can tee up for you right now, but since it\u2019s a Yorgos Lanthimos film, expect some grimness and something absurd.<\/p>\n

\u27bd\u00a0Emma Stone<\/a> and Yorgos Lanthimos<\/a> have made how many movies together?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Director Nia DaCosta and Tessa Thompson reunite for Hedda, an adaptation of the 19th-century play Hedda Gabler. Thompson stars as the eponymous woman, an ambitious wife who throws a party for her academic husband (Tom Bateman) and crosses paths with her ex-lover Eileen Lovborg (Nina Hoss). Now that\u2019s how you make a dinner party interesting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The long-foretold rise of comedian Rachel Sennott finally brings her to prestige-TV shores. Across the country, columnists crack their knuckles and buckle down to begin think pieces about how the next big generational comedy is set in Los Angeles rather than New York. \u2014Kathryn VanArendonk<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The trenches of World War I, the innermost chambers of the Vatican, and now a casino in Macau. All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave director Edward Berger is exploring another chill, very normal setting with a somewhat surreal thriller starring Colin Farrell as a degenerate gambler who is making a last-ditch effort to get out of the mountain of debt he\u2019s made for himself. \u2014James Grebey<\/p>\n

\u27bd I know what you\u2019re thinking. Is Colin Farrell better in this movie or the Ben Affleck Daredevil? We\u2019ve got you covered<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Big week for hot vampires. Not only is it Halloween, but in theaters there\u2019ll be rereleases of Sinners and the Twilight franchise. The former will be hitting Imax, so you can see its euphoric musical scene<\/a> on the biggest screen possible. Then if you\u2019re looking for more moody and hormonal vamps, all five Twilight films will be playing this week, and man, those also have incredible soundtracks.<\/p>\n

\u27bd Plus, KPop Demon Hunters will be in AMC theaters<\/a> if you and your kids need something to do while eating your candy hauls..<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Liam Hemsworth steps into the role of the silverhaired monster hunter, taking over from the winning nerd-himbo Henry Cavill. He\u2019s joined by Laurence Fishburne alongside returning cast members Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra, all scattered to the winds after last season\u2019s finale. \u2014Nicholas Quah<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To be clear, no version of the ethical thief is hotter or more charming than Disney\u2019s animated fox. But people sure do keep trying! This adaptation sticks to the basic story: Outlaw and rogue Robin Hood (Jack Patten) is a champion of the people; he falls in love with the brave Marian (Lauren McQueen), who joins him in his quest. Here\u2019s a little twist, though: This time, Robin goes by Rob. \u2014Roxana Hadadi <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Possibly the best debut film of the year, Sorry, Baby is a darkly funny, deeply poignant drama about life going on even after a bad thing happens. Writer-director Eva Victor plays Agnes, a liberal-arts professor who was sexually assaulted by a mentor, and the movie follows her through the years after as she deals with the fallout, complex feelings, and depression \u2014 along with some good things, too, like an adorable kitten, great sandwich, and a scene-stealing supporting turn from John Carroll Lynch. \u2014J.G.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Universal didn\u2019t wait long to re-excavate the Jurassic franchise post Dominion. Gone are Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard and instead Rebirth follows Scarlett Johansson\u2019s Zora Bennett who\u2019s offered an exorbitant amount of money to go collect some dino blood. She enlists an old co-worker, Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), and paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey).<\/p>\n
