I Want Your Sex Review Gregg Araki's film I Want Your Sex elicits mixed emotions from me. It balances intriguing commentary on sexuality with discomfort over its portrayal of power dynamics.

Capsule Reviews: July Edition Adrian Chiarella's "Leviticus" offers a queer twist on horror, portraying love as a haunting force, while "Toy Story 5" critiques technology's impact on relationships, yet lacks depth.

The Death of Robin Hood Review. The Death of Robin Hood presents an interesting, yet familiar deconstruction of the iconic folk hero.

Supergirl Review Despite Milly Alcock's best efforts, Supergirl is a forgettable and satanized adaptation of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
