It’s been a good few years for thrillers, but you could also say that it’s always been a pretty good time for the genre, since there’s always been a desire for thrilling, exciting, and suspenseful films. They're probably not going out of style any time soon, but if you want the best of the best, and are focusing specifically on fairly recent titles, then One Battle After Another is probably the easiest one to single out. To be fair, it’s more than just a thriller, since One Battle After Another also functions as an action movie, a dark comedy, and something of an epic, with a total runtime of well over 2.5 hours.

The 98th Academy Awards, like any other year, were represented by a host of winners and losers. Marty Supreme was the notable flop on the night, winning nothing despite being nominated in nine categories. This disappointment was contrasted by the celebrations of the likes of Ryan Coogler’s beloved vampire flick Sinners, the animated phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters, the Danish-Norwegian drama Sentimental Value, Apple's F1, and even the horror underdog Weapons, which all left with Golden Statues.
