Casanova (2015) EDIT “While it's intriguing to see what happens when a man who cares only about his own desires gets involved in politics, the story tips into the sordid as Casanova's approach to spying veers uncomfortably close to pimping.” – CNET Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Beats (2019) 97% EDIT “Beats is a heartwarming and hilarious film about friendship and belonging and music...” – CNET Mar 31, 2023 Full Review No Sudden Move (2021) 92% EDIT “Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Brendan Fraser and Ray Liotta doing holdups in hats. Joyfully tough from start to finish. ” – CNET Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Cocaine Bear (2023) 65% EDIT “A tight 95 minutes of Paddington's cokehead cousin on the rampage, Cocaine Bear is the funny, gory romp we need in a landscape of samey superheroes.” – CNET Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% EDIT “Welcome back the teeny-tiny superhero whose main superpower is Paul Rudd's outsized charm, while his main weakness is that everybody's always belittling him -- even the creators of his own movie.” – CNET Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Knock at the Cabin (2023) 67% EDIT “You have to admire the way M. Night Shyamalan consistently delivers taut and disquieting B-movies with big ideas. ” – CNET Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) 76% EDIT “Director James Cameron's epic sequel has a lot to pack in: it's a decent sci-fi blockbuster, a visual effects masterclass, and the best nature documentary you'll ever see.” – CNET Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% EDIT “This second stab is another twist-filled treat, having fun with the whodunnit genre while also just being very funny.” – CNET Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) 85% EDIT “It's worth finding the Roku remote, because Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Rainn Wilson, is funny as hell.” – CNET Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Werewolf by Night (2022) 90% EDIT “Steel yourself for thoroughly retro chills and thrills, as you Marvel at the bite-size delight they call… Werewolf By Night!” – CNET Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Hellraiser (2022) 68% EDIT “Some cool stuff when it reaches the back stretch, although the 2-hour-long film spends way too long spinning its wheels to get there. It won't tear your soul apart, but at least it's a drop of fresh blood for a series that didn't deserve to stay dead.” – CNET Oct 5, 2022 Full Review Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) 65% EDIT “The reunited Midler, Najimy and Parker running amok (amok, amok, amok) bring enough of that ol' black magic to carry this whimsical caper and keep it from feeling like too much of a cash-in.” – CNET Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Don't Worry Darling (2022) 38% EDIT “Perfectly serviceable slice of big screen weirdness. This slick psychological drama is a glossy, stylishly surreal thriller with something to say, featuring an endless array of gorgeous fashions and Florence Pugh on excellent form. What more do you want?” – CNET Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) 63% EDIT “Why should we feel anything when clearly none of it matters?” – CNET Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Pinocchio (2022) 27% EDIT “Remake of the classic Disney animation sanitizes the aging cartoon's more dubious elements, but still manages to be bizarre as all get-out -- and in fact, this awkward mishmash of digital effects and live action adds new levels of weird.” – CNET Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 52% EDIT “A gleefully exaggerated high-speed journey into action and comedy driven by swaggering star turns and first class boxcar brawls, and I'd work on that railroad all the live-long day.” – CNET Aug 3, 2022 Full Review The Gray Man (2022) 46% EDIT “Netflix delivers with The Gray Man, a rip-roaring and star-powered spy romp that puts all the money on screen as Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans go head to head.” – CNET Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% EDIT “Jurassic World: Dominion splices nostalgic eras and movie genres and and just about any other DNA it can lay its hands on. The result is a primordial soup of a few entertaining scares, but it's sixty-five million years away from making any sense. ” – CNET Jun 8, 2022 Full Review Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 96% EDIT “Top Gun 2 reboots the original film's heart-pounding aerial action, infectiously cheesy character drama and don't-think-too-hard-about-it military fetishism in a winning spectacle of cinematic escapism.” – CNET May 12, 2022 Full Review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 73% EDIT “In the hands of director Sam Raimi, Multiverse of Madness is a marvellously assured balancing act of bizarre weirdness and affecting human drama. ” – CNET May 3, 2022 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) 77% EDIT “Dwayne Johnson is a jungle VIP in this entertaining sequel to the much-loved Robin Williams caper.” – CNET Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Morbius (2022) 15% EDIT “Jared Leto stars as a sulking, skulking vampire in a bloodless and boring comics adaptation desperately riding the coat-tails of the Marvel movie powerhouse.” – CNET Mar 31, 2022 Full Review The Adam Project (2022) 68% EDIT “Ryan Reynolds stars as a wisecracking time-flyer in Netflix's breezy but heartfelt version of ET, Back to the Future and Flight of the Navigator for the Marvel generation.” – CNET Mar 10, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% EDIT “More of a detective mystery than previous Bat-flicks, borrowing in particular from David Fincher's serial killer chillers Seven and Zodiac... Most of all, though, The Batman is a horror movie.” – CNET Feb 28, 2022 Full Review Uncharted (2022) 41% EDIT “The Uncharted movie may pilfer from assorted better films, but it's a victimless crime. ” – CNET Feb 11, 2022 Full Review
