Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “"Wake Up Dead Man" is the most complex of the three films in this series, for better and worse.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “"Jay Kelly" is a glib, contrived movie star vehicle about a movie star, played by George Clooney, which might have been interesting if the film had succeeded in the kind of deep dive it thinks it takes.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Jan 12, 2026 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “"One Battle After Another" was easily the best film of 2025. Everything I heard about how good it is did not even go far enough — it was thrilling, compelling, hilarious, enraging, uplifting, stunning.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “I hope more people take a chance on "Roofman" and experience the stealth heartbreak visited upon viewers by a complex and vital director and a simply excellent, committed cast. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% EDIT “With "Nouvelle Vague," Richard Linklater created a dutiful and elaborate homage to the French New Wave, but failed to make his own meaningful film.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “Guillermo del Toro’s "Frankenstein" is a beautiful, faithful, endless adaptation of a story whose cultural impact cannot really be overstated. The character development is as intricate and well thought-out as the utterly splendid sets and costumes.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Dec 9, 2025 Full Review John Candy: I Like Me (2025) 89% EDIT “While the documentary "John Candy: I Like Me" is chock-full of wonderful interviews and history for comedy buffs, it also strikes universal chords and powerful emotions.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “Fiendishly clever and gleefully satisfying, "Weapons" is almost more of a thriller than a horror movie, except when it is a full-on horror movie. Whatever you call it, this film earns every jump scare and freakout and nervous giggle. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% EDIT “The song remains the same and the pleasures are simple, but while this sequel certainly does not break any new ground, it also does not disappoint. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) 98% B+ EDIT ““Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” is an epic, bloody, intricate tale of the unending battle between demons and demon slayers. It was full of incredible swords and characters and was truly, surprisingly emotional and visually just stunning. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Oct 2, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% B EDIT “It was a tiny bit corny, but any period biopic like this is going to feel a bit like “Forrest Gump.” You play spot-the-famous-person and judge their resemblance to their real-life counterpart, and they parade through real historical events.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% B EDIT “Pamela Anderson is vulnerable and poignant as Shelley Gardner, a Las Vegas dancer clinging desperately to the show she has given her life to, “The Razzle Dazzle."” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% B+ EDIT “While it was appropriately blood-drenched, his [Robert Eggers]version of one of the most central horror stories in the canon was, in fact, a beautiful, faithful, rather stately take on the familiar yet vital tale. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 14% C EDIT “Sometimes an idea seems like such a sure thing no one in charge pays attention to the details that ensure quality. I think that’s the principle that led to “The Electric State” being less than the sum of its parts.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% D EDIT “But we finally hit a dud with Amazon Prime’s “Holland.” Lest the sight of her preternaturally tight face peeking out from a Dutch cap intrigue you, I must warn you that it’s not very good and it’s actually kind of unpleasant. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Another Simple Favor (2025) 58% D EDIT “The best thing about “Another Simple Favor” is that it is perfect escapist fare to kick off the summer, set in gorgeous Capri, Italy. The worst thing about “Another Simple Favor” is that it is terrible.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% A EDIT ““Black Bag” is from director Steven Soderbergh, who, as he has many times before, delivers a tight, intriguing, snappy spy thriller that fires on every cylinder and delivers on every level.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 86% B+ EDIT ““The Wedding Banquet” is a sweet and unexpected romantic dramedy, a remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 film about two couples, all best friends, who attempt to reconfigure their relationships to fool family members, government agencies and more.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% EDIT ““Mickey 17” is a hilarious, dark science-fiction comedy from Bong Joon Ho that explores the same themes of social inequality that he dramatized in his Academy Award-winning “Parasite.” ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 52% C EDIT “Is it too much to ask for a wacky premise to feature people that seem real, or is that concept itself something of a unicorn?” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Mountainhead (2025) 74% B EDIT “This film is another stone-cold tour de force from Jesse Armstrong, who spent four seasons of “Succession” on the privileged lives of some truly unlikable people. It’s hilarious and harrowing and not entirely pleasant. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Deep Cover (2025) 90% EDIT “Deep Cover” was fun, fast-paced and full of actors who were enjoyable to watch. The script was clever and full of little details that ran through and drew me in. The twists were plentiful and speedy. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 26, 2025 Full Review The Surfer (2024) 84% C EDIT “The Nicolas Cage completist will want to experience it, and I thought all the performances were quite good. I don’t know if the concept was complex or worthwhile enough to justify the painful viewing experience.” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% B EDIT “ “The Thursday Murder Club” is a totally adequate and faithful adaptation of a very pleasant, cozy murder mystery book by Richard Osman. The book is highly readable, and the movie is highly watchable. ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Nonnas (2025) 82% B+ EDIT “Nonnas” was not groundbreaking or edgy, but it was pleasant and heartfelt. If you let yourself be comforted and relax into this movie, there’s a good chance that at the end you will feel some emotion akin to “I needed that.” ” – Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review
