| Ant-Mania |
| The MCU enters a new phase with none other than Paul Rudd leading the charge and Jonathan Majors debuting villain Kang. Does it give critics high hopes for the future, or is it just a little old “Ant”? |
- "There was a go-for-broke humor in the first two movies that made them breezy to watch. That appears to have been completely lost by the time Quantumania rolls around. The same quips and self-aware banter are there, but they’re excruciatingly creaky." — Hoai Tran-Bui, Inverse
- "Kang is a poorly written character—he's bad, he's mad, he's a genius, he wants to escape the Quantum Realm, and that's pretty much it. There's only so much that the cast or filmmakers can do to make him seem terrifying." — Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
- "Compared to slogs like Thor: Love and Thunder and most of the MCU television shows, however, Quantumania is certainly entertaining from start to finish, and it’s the first film since Endgame with real stakes." — Matthew Huff, AV Club

| Con Airing |
| Danny Ocean may not have invented the con, but he and Ocean’s 12 certainly brought it into the 21st Century. With Julianne Moore and Sebastian Stan starring as mother-son con artists in new Apple TV+ film Sharper, now streaming, here are more twisty thrillers to enjoy. |
 | | I Care a Lot | | Rosamund Pike came to our attention thanks to Gone Girl, but watching her carry this scam artist film with nothing but a sharp bob and steely jaw is to see a movie star flourishing. Pike plays a woman who drains the finances from elderly people—until she seemingly meets her match in Dianne Wiest. | | Where to watch |
|
|
 | | The Grifters | | Oh boy, is this neo-noir a twisted delight. John Cusack turns his youthful charm into smarm opposite girlfriend Annette Bening and mother Anjelica Huston—though the relationships between these three con artists get murky in shocking ways. One of Bening’s all-time great performances. | | Where to watch |
|
|
 | | The Hustle | | For those of us who love our Anne Hathaway firmly in fun mode, this female-centric remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is top of the list. Hathaway plays a polished con artist who reluctantly takes rough-around-the-edges Rebel Wilson under her wing as they fleece men across Europe. | | Where to watch |
