If you aren’t diving into February celebrating pink, candy, and all things romance, are you doing the month of Valentine’s Day right? February’s movie slate definitely isn’t afraid to both celebrate and skewer the holiday. Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) searches for love and her new self in the fourth entry in this rom-com series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. The Black Phone and Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson offers an unconventional love story (maybe?) in his action-horror thriller The Gorge on Apple TV+. If you think romance is scary, then Heart Eyes takes a murderous approach to romance as a Valentine’s Day-themed slasher horror, and director Osgood Perkins follows up Longlegs with his adaptation of Stephen King‘s short story The Monkey.
In less grisly news, Academy Award winners Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose get their John Wick on in Love Hurts. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) picks up the shield in his first Captain America feature film, Captain America: Brave New World. Two cast members from Netflix’s The Witcher and one from the video game series lend their talents to an animated adult movie, and if you need a cartoon film suitable for all ages, look no further than The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.
