Shelter (2026) 62% 6.5/10 EDIT “It’s still a solidly entertaining action flick, just don’t expect any major deviations from the tried-and-true formula.” – CGMagazine Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 8.5/10 EDIT “It is encouraging to see that, even after a long absence from the genre, Raimi has not lost any of his mischievous playfulness.” – CGMagazine Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 3/10 EDIT “Ending a film with the copaganda equivalent of "AI ain’t that bad, guys" left a rancid taste in my mouth.” – CGMagazine Jan 21, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 8/10 EDIT “"Even though I enjoyed the film slightly less than 28 Years Later, I still found myself so fascinated and impressed by the creative risks both these films have taken."” – CGMagazine Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 6.5/10 EDIT “If you are looking for a harmlessly silly night at the movies, the new Anaconda is a serviceable option. ” – CGMagazine Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 5.5/10 EDIT “Unfortunately, it instead feels like a film that should have been released straight-to-streaming but escaped containment.” – CGMagazine Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 9.5/10 EDIT “Marty Supreme is so funny, so grimy, so kinetic and so wildly entertaining that I left the theatre in a daze that lasted for hours after the film ended.” – CGMagazine Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 7/10 EDIT “Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s doubly incredible performances help turn Wicked: For Good into an enjoyable, albeit rushed adaptation of the musical’s lesser second half.” – CGMagazine Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 6/10 EDIT “The problem with Now You See Me: Now You Don't is that, overall, the film feels as empty as the illusions the Horsemen craft.” – CGMagazine Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 8.5/10 EDIT “Rest assured, though: even with the softer rating, Badlands remains every bit as violent as the rest of the franchise.” – CGMagazine Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 7/10 EDIT “All in all, Black Phone 2 is a fun time, though it left me missing the original’s tighter scope.” – CGMagazine Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 8/10 EDIT “ To my surprise, most of Roofman remains remarkably grounded.” – CGMagazine Oct 11, 2025 Full Review Motor City (2025) 70% 6/10 EDIT “Motor City feels like a graphic novel I would off-handedly pick up at my library and become obsessed with as a teen. It’s an interesting experiment, but it only serves to highlight how much better this would work on the page rather than on the screen.” – CGMagazine Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 4/10 EDIT “I desperately wanted to love Dust Bunny. There is a world where this concept is executed brilliantly, but the movie we got now is just a mishmash of ideas that don’t mix well together at all.” – CGMagazine Sep 28, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 14% 1.5/10 EDIT “The Strangers: Chapter 2 is a film that isn't just dead on arrival; it was dead from the point of conception.” – CGMagazine Sep 26, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 6.5/10 EDIT “Dwayne Johnson impressively captures Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine, but it’s a fantastic performance surrounded by a merely okay sports movie.” – CGMagazine Sep 21, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 6.5/10 EDIT “And yet, despite its flaws, I can’t bring myself to dislike Him. Its ambitions exceed its execution, but I was never bored or disengaged. ” – CGMagazine Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 9/10 EDIT “A moving-yet-visceral adaptation of the Stephen King novel, The Long Walk is one of the year’s best.” – CGMagazine Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is cinematic anarchy at its finest.” – CGMagazine Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 97% 7.5/10 EDIT “Credit to director Genki Kawamura, he manages to craft a surprisingly effective meal out of a game whose average completion time is only about an hour.” – CGMagazine Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 6/10 EDIT “The overall story is messy, with so many double-crosses and sudden deaths that, by the halfway mark, almost none leave a lasting impact.” – CGMagazine Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% 9/10 EDIT “Any slight issues I had with Highest 2 Lowest’s first half were washed away by the second, which veers into its own direction and features two of the most electrifying sequences Spike Lee has ever shot.” – CGMagazine Aug 14, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 73% 7.5/10 EDIT “"From the film’s early yearbook-style montage to the return of the long-forgotten mid-credits blooper reel, Freaky Friday is the definition of comfort food not enjoyed in years."” – CGMagazine Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% 7.5/10 EDIT “When the body horror kicks in, it doesn’t go nearly as gonzo as The Substance and its splatter-filled finale, but the excellent practical effects and prosthetics still deliver some gloriously repulsive visuals.” – CGMagazine Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 9/10 EDIT “Weapons is a noticeable step up for Cregger as a filmmaker. It feels like he took what worked in Barbarian and tightened up the things that didn’t.” – CGMagazine Jul 28, 2025 Full Review
