Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Nothing in this movie is entirely novel and, yet for the first time in this series, I cared deeply about where the actual story of Avatar was going, and felt satisfied over how Cameron landed his personal leonopteryx.” – Polygon Dec 16, 2025 Full Review War of the Worlds (2025) 4% EDIT “If the movie were any good, I might fear the implications. ” – Polygon Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Distant (2023) EDIT “Long Distance has brains, brawn, and a sappy sentimental side. ” – Polygon Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% EDIT “Dead Reckoning was satisfying, in a classic M:I way, but it needed a coda to wrap up all its open-ended plots. ” – Polygon May 14, 2025 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 60% EDIT “In the end, Moana 2 is a vehicle for one banger, a feel-good throwback, and a few songs we’ll never talk about again, which doesn’t feel like enough for a brand-new Moana.” – Polygon Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Caddo Lake (2024) 77% EDIT “The real twist is, by the end, you actually give a damn about the drama of it all. ” – Polygon Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Sleep (2024) 95% EDIT “Sleep feels like a major debut by a filmmaker who is ready to defy conventions and entertain audiences. ” – Polygon Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver (2024) 16% EDIT “It is ugly, it is repetitive, it is severely lacking in stand-up-and-cheer moments.” – Polygon Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Sasquatch Sunset (2024) 71% EDIT “I wanted to vomit three or four times before the credits rolled, but in an era where even indie films can feel like four-quadrant efforts on the cheap, what a relief that something so aggressively sick and sweet exists.” – Polygon Apr 15, 2024 Full Review The Boogeyman (2023) 60% EDIT “Savage successfully bends the cosmic-horror element to his will in The Boogeyman, and for fans of King’s world(s), it’s fair to call it the best Dark Tower movie ever made.” – Polygon May 30, 2023 Full Review Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) 95% EDIT “A fairy tale adventure that complements genuine laughs with splashy, impressionistic art.” – Polygon Dec 27, 2022 Full Review Under the Shadow (2016) 99% EDIT “Much like in The Babadook, first-time director Babak Anvari allows the question of the supernatural to orbit the action of Under the Shadow.” – Polygon Oct 22, 2021 Full Review The Piano (1993) 90% EDIT “Deeply felt and entranced by Hunter's near-silent performance, this is Campion at her best and great starting place to an underrated auteur's career.” – Polygon Oct 22, 2021 Full Review The American (2010) 64% EDIT “For all the seriousness and atmosphere, there's still a pulpy, page-turner quality to the film's second half - think of the whole package as Bond for the art house crowd.” – Polygon Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Blade II (2002) 57% EDIT “It's a movie with real stakes - and not just the ones Blade throws through vampiric hearts.” – Polygon Oct 20, 2021 Full Review House on Haunted Hill (1959) 80% EDIT “The old fashioned rat-a-tat dialogue and goofy setups keep House on Haunted Hill as blissfully silly as any straight-faced remake.” – Polygon Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Hush (2016) 92% EDIT “It's a terrific modern slasher, and even got the seal of approval from Stephen King.” – Polygon Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Creep (2014) 91% EDIT “Leave it to indie darling Mark Duplass and his regular collaborator Patrick Brice (The Overnight) to keep the found-footage horror movie kickin' 15 years after The Blair Witch Project.” – Polygon Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Creep 2 (2017) 100% EDIT “Just how Creep 2 picks up the story, with Girls actress Desiree Akhavan front and center as a hopeful YouTube star, is even more of a hoot.” – Polygon Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Come True (2020) 84% EDIT “There's obviously something more going on - as there should be in any good horror film.” – Polygon Oct 19, 2021 Full Review A League of Their Own (1992) 82% EDIT “Has there ever been a more crowd-pleasing crowdpleaser than Penny Marshall's dramatization of America's first women's baseball league? No, there has not.” – Polygon Jul 26, 2021 Full Review Chungking Express (1994) 89% EDIT “It's all intoxicating.” – Polygon Jul 7, 2021 Full Review Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) 86% EDIT “Don't expect too much plot - this is all about luxuriating in the picture, and sucking down every ounce of blood Jarmusch has drawn from his obsessions.” – Polygon Jul 7, 2021 Full Review F9 The Fast Saga (2021) 59% EDIT “The new movie dares to consider 2D caricatures as three-dimensional people, and in the process, exposes the charade.” – Polygon Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Deep Impact (1998) 45% EDIT “Whereas most disaster movies wind a ticking clock and ride the tension of life or death, Leder dares to grapple with fatalism, and study how we react when all of the world's problems can't be solved with a giant bomb.” – Polygon May 25, 2021 Full Review
