The Red Line (2026)
2/4
EDIT
“Director Sitisiri Mongkolsiri’s missed opportunity gets bogged down by its self-seriousness in its final act and while the cast is good; the solemn screenplay needed to loosen up, not just a little but a lot. ” –

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026)
79%
2.5/4
EDIT
“It has its faults and gets off to a slow start, but then hits the gas for a fun kick-back Friday night pick when you’re hankering for something that won’t overtax your brain.” –

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)
41%
1.5/4
EDIT
“It gets tiring. Returning directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic hit us with one action rush after another that never allows any of their characters room to breathe or come to life. ” –

The Drama (2026)
80%
3.5/4
EDIT
“The Drama might seem like it’s an anti-wedding movie. But it deserves better than that since, in the end, it asks the most essential question any couple needs to answer before exchanging rings: Is it really worth all the drama?” –

3.5/4

Marc by Sofia (2025)
71%
2.5/4
EDIT
“Marc By Sofia also introduces how it takes an obsessive person to get all the details right, but doesn’t go deeper than that. Too bad, a little more about Jacobs the person would have created a fuller portrait. ” –

Forbidden Fruits (2026)
75%
3/4
EDIT
“It’s campy, full of laughs and some gore, and even sounds a chord about breaking free – or at least trying too – of female friendships and cliques.” –

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026)
88%
3.5/4
EDIT
“As “The AI Doc” effectively indicates, if we don’t hurry up and do something about it, self-evolving AGI might well figure that out before any of us do. Then it might be too late.

The Pout-Pout Fish (2026)
66%
3/4
EDIT
““The Pout-Pout Fish” takes full advantage of the underwater population and has a clever-enough screenplay and a terrific vocal performance from Amy Sedaris as a trio of dolphins who aren’t as nice as they look. ” –

Tow (2025)

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)
73%
3/4
EDIT
“The kills here are as elaborate as in the first outing and the depictions of moral decrepitude are so on target at times you all but want to stand up and cheer when the evildoers get served their comeuppance. ” –

Project Hail Mary (2026)
95%
3.5/4
EDIT
“What also makes Project Hail Mary's so gosh darn lovable is that it imbues us with child-like wonder from scenes that pay homage to such classics as E.T., Flight of the Navigator and, yes, Rocky.” –

EDIT
“Josh isn’t the only one wrestling with problems, as these tightknit sibs’ secrets bubble to the fore. Be prepared to see elements of yourself — and perhaps your own family — while watching this charmer. ” –

Carolina Caroline (2025)
100%
3/4
EDIT
“Director Adam Carter Rehmeier (“Dinner in America,” “Snack Shack”) and screenwriter Tom Dean keep this thriller zipping along but what really fires it up are its two leads and a great assist from Kyra Sedgwick in a hold-on-to-your-socks cameo. ” –

Maddie's Secret (2025)
89%
3/4
EDIT
“Early, who also wrote and directed this high-wire act, couldn’t be better for a John Waters light delight that lampoons handwringing specials that used to dominate TV. Give it a try. ” –

She Dances (2025)
88%
3/4
EDIT
“She Dances straddles the line between sweet and sad and handles both sentiments well. Ethan Hawke, Sonequa Martin-Green and Rosemarie DeWitt co-star, but this is the Zahns’ film. ” –

3/4
EDIT
“The intention here is to inspire, and Taylor’s fifth feature accomplishes that admirably. It’s a testimonial of why we should never forget history and why it’s vital to be compassionate and help others in need. ” –

The Napa Boys (2025)
57%
1.5/4
EDIT
“Still, there is something about Corirossi's comedy that's so committedly in your face you can't ignore it, but I grew weary of its artillery of sophomoric, repetitive inside-baseball jokes. ” –

“The award-winning documentary sneaks up on you and might even change how you live in the present moment. At the very least, it’s a good reminder to get a colonoscopy.” –
