| Vacation, All I Ever Wanted |
| Remote cabin vacations are rarely a good idea—especially if a band of strangers led by Dave Bautista show up at a gay couple’s getaway to demand that the family of three sacrifice someone to save the world. (Still better than a cruise?) Do critics find the latest M. Night Shymalan a bucket list item or just a tourist trap? |
- "Old fans and Servant-heads alike know that M. Night Shyamalan never really left, but Knock at the Cabin feels like it just might convince those not in the know that he’s back." — Charles Pulliam-Moore, The Verge
- “Central to the film’s ‘progressive’ premise (a married gay couple heading up a mainstream studio horror movie? Whoa) is a hate crime tied to Andrew’s past that is suddenly, now, very much in his present. This wouldn’t be a pseudo-gay studio movie without a hate crime tacked onto it, after all.” — Ryan Lattanzio, IndieWire
- "A straightforward exercise in nail-biting suspense, steered by a filmmaker at the height of his confidence in his craft, and powered by a tremendous antagonistic turn from Bautista, who gives the best performance of his career yet." — Hoai-Tran Bui, Inverse

 | The List |

| Field of Screens |
| In a world where The Rock and Dave Bautista are bona fide movie stars, we forget how rare it was for athletes to successfully turn to acting. With Tom Brady and The Gronk both onscreen in 80 for Brady, let’s look back at memorable turns from athletes turned (however temporarily) actors. |
 | | Airplane! | | Surely you didn’t imagine someone else topping this list? Professional athletes frequently give acting a shot, but how many still get quoted 40 years later? | | Add to watchlist |
|
|
 | | Kazaam | | OK, maybe Shaq could give Kareem a run for his money with his genie-in-a-bottle family comedy. A beloved staple for ‘90s kids, this is hardly the same cultural touchstone as Airplane!, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a more beloved starring role. | | Add to watchlist |

 | | Furious 7 | | UFC champion Roussey delivered one of the most galvanizing fight sequences in the Fast and the Furious franchise when she joined Furious 7. Bonus athlete: Co-star Jason Statham started as a professional diver! | | Add to watchlist |
