The summer movie season is here, and it’s in rough shape.

The Watchers, starring Dakota Fanning, has shifted its release date to June 7. This shift makes it such that The Watchers will release on the same day as The Exorcism. The Exorcism, featuring Russell Crowe, has star power on its side, while The Watchers carries the Shyamalan name for a possible edge.

The upcoming horror film The Watchers has officially shifted its release date. Starring Dakota Fanning as a woman named Mina who is taken in by mysterious strangers in the Irish wilderness after becoming stranded, the film is directed by Ishana Shyamalan. The director is the daughter of notable horror / thriller auteur M. Night Shyamalan, who also serves as a producer for The Watchers. Also starring in The Watchers are Olwen Four, Georgina Campbell, Siobhan Hewlett, Charles Camrose, and Hannah Howland.

A magic potion de-ages three women in an enjoyably middling drama-comedy with Patricia Hodge alongside Keaton and Lulu

Viciously anodyne but not entirely unamusing, this older-folk-skewed comedy puts a gentle spin on a well-worn device, the magical-body transformation. In some genteel corner of England, retirees Joan and Arthur are leading a life of quiet resignation. She does gardening and whatnot; he potters with inventions in his shed. One night, his latest concoction, a formula mixed with whisky that will de-age a person back to the body she or he had in her or his early 20s, actually works. Arthur goes outside to holler triumphantly during a storm and gets struck by lightning, leaving Joan a widow.

After the funeral, Joan (Patricia Hodge) and her two best friends, crafty divorcee Linda (Diane Keaton) and baking-obsessive Susan (Lulu), get stuck into the whisky/youthifying brew and wake up looking like the lithe young women they once were,...

The film also stars Screen Actors Guild Award winner David Harewood OBE, Grammy nominated music superstar Boy George, Hayley Mills (The Parent Trap), Bill Paterson (House of the Dragon), Adil Ray (Blithe Spirit) and winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Lawrence Chaney.
