      **Thelma (2024)**

      Genre: Action comedy

      IMDb rating: 7/10

      Rotten Tomatoes: 98%

      No one anticipates a 93-year-old grandmother to transform into an action hero, and that’s the captivating premise of this film. June Squibb portrays Thelma, who gets duped out of ten thousand dollars by a scammer posing as her grandson and embarks on a mission across Los Angeles to find the offenders. The film expertly combines genuine Mission Impossible-style tension with the physical realities of aging.

      This hidden treasure on Hulu weaves heartfelt family drama with genuinely humorous action comedy. What resonated with me the most is Squibb’s performance, striking a balance between determined toughness and true vulnerability in her first significant leading role after seven decades in the industry.

      **No Other Choice (2025)**

      Genre: Dark comedy thriller

      IMDb rating: 7.5/10

      Rotten Tomatoes: 97%

      From renowned director Park Chan-wook (known for *Decision to Leave*, *Oldboy*), this dark comedy thriller follows Man-su, a seasoned veteran of the paper industry who is laid off after 25 years and becomes desperate to protect his family and home. Instead of searching for a job, he begins eliminating the competition that stands in his way.

      I appreciated how this film contrasts a harsh critique of corporate capitalism with chaotic slapstick violence. Lee Byung-hun delivers an outstanding performance, while director Park Chan-wook skillfully incorporates twisted humor and lavish visuals into a grim situation. It’s a remarkable and deeply cathartic satire that will keep you engaged.

      You can watch *No Other Choice* on Hulu.

      **Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2025)**

      Genre: Sci-fi comedy

      IMDb rating: 7/10

      A man claiming to be from the future takes over a diner in Los Angeles, and the strangeness escalates from there. Sam Rockwell stars in this frenetic sci-fi comedy as a mysterious figure who insists he must recruit a precise mix of diner patrons to avert a rogue AI from destroying humanity.

      This underrated film fully embraces its chaotic nature and intertwines it with satire about our technological addiction. It heavily employs absurdist comedy while maintaining a sincere emotional core beneath all the pandemonium.
