3/4
Send Help (2026) Josh Bell It's not a full-throttle return to Raimi's gonzo roots, but even an enjoyably minor work from this major filmmaker is something worth celebrating.

3.5/4
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Chase Hutchinson It’s arresting cinema and a truly one-of-a-kind look at history that, sadly, despite all the film has going for it, feels like it hasn’t gotten its proper moment in the sun in the way it should have.

3/4
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Chase Hutchinson When [Fiennes] gets a showstopper of a final number, it very nearly blows the roof off the entire film.

3/4
No Other Choice (2025) Josh Bell There's nothing subtle about Man-su's efforts to eliminate his professional competition, and the movie reflects that audacity, with expansive storytelling and visual sophistication.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Chase Hutchinson What do you get if you take The Wizard of Oz, strip it of all its vibrant color, and then pretend this is something that actually makes it feel "grounded" in reality? Well, you’ve got the woefully wearisome Wicked: For Good.

War of the Worlds (2025) Chase Hutchinson Where other films built around screens like Searching and Missing were able to make what could be a bit of gimmick work, War of the Worlds is just a dull disaster from start to finish.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
The Electric State (2025) Chase Hutchinson A lifeless and empty husk of "content" in the worst sense of the word, it’s as if the Russos took Stålenhag’s striking illustrations, put them into a shredder and half-heartedly assembled what it spat out.

3/4
Dust Bunny (2025) Chase Hutchinson Though built around the potential of a monster under the bed, which brings gruesome death to all who underestimate it, it’s a film that’s bursting with life in every cleverly executed sequence or gleefully macabre joke.

1.5/4
The Housemaid (2025) Chase Hutchinson Much like its central character, The Housemaid only gets interesting when it finally makes itself at home in the genre’s pleasures. Everything else? Best pack it up and move.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Josh Bell It's the triumphs that linger after the movie ends, even as it piles on the tragedies in its final act.

2/4
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Chase Hutchinson There’s still nobody making movies like Cameron. It’s just unfortunate that, at this point in his career, he proved it by making a bigger version of the same movie all over again.

2.5/4
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Josh Bell It's the best kind of remake, taking a movie that wasn't very good in the first place, retaining its best elements and adding some clever new twists.
Posted Dec 11, 2025  Edit critic review
3/4
Jay Kelly (2025) Josh Bell It's a warm, funny and occasionally prickly character study, in the mode of Greenberg and Frances Ha, fellow Baumbach films named after their endearingly self-involved main characters.

1/4
Zootopia 2 (2025) Chase Hutchinson Like the saintly new snake character that it introduces, it’s wearing the skin of what you think a movie like this should be, but soon sheds it all off to reveal itself as one of the most desperately sweaty sequels of recent memory.
Posted Nov 27, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/4
The Running Man (2025) Chase Hutchinson Rather than see him leave his mark on the material, the director feels, for the first time in his career, incidental to it.
Posted Nov 13, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Josh Bell The new characters are just as smug as their predecessors, and the Horsemen's whole Robin Hood shtick comes off as even more disingenuous than before.
Posted Nov 13, 2025  Edit critic review
2/4
Christy (2025) Josh Bell Christy's rise and fall, complete with drug addiction, domestic abuse and financial fraud, is a familiar story that has played out in dozens of biopics about athletes and artists, and Michôd does little to distinguish this particular iteration.
Posted Nov 06, 2025  Edit critic review
2/4
Anniversary (2025) Josh Bell It's like an overly somber take on the forgotten 2018 Ike Barinholtz comedy The Oath, and it's similarly unconvincing.
Posted Oct 30, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Frankenstein (2025) Chase Hutchinson In many regards, del Toro ends up feeling most like the titular doctor. He’s done it, he’s created something with new life in Elordi’s vibrant performance, only for the world to see his beautiful creation sadly surpass him.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Chase Hutchinson Where Nebraska remains a bold and achingly beautiful work of art, Deliver Me from Nowhere is a film that merely goes through the motions.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
2/4
After the Hunt (2025) Josh Bell The filmmakers favor opacity over insight, resulting in a frustrating film that drags out its repetitive innuendos for nearly two and a half hours.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Chase Hutchinson The ultimate conclusion is less of a poetic ending than it is a sudden stopping. Rather than feel provocative, it proves to be one last incomplete thought in a film full of them. Instead of truly staring down nuclear annihilation, Bigelow merely blinks.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Idle Hands (1999) Chase Hutchinson A stoner horror-comedy more fun in theory than it is in execution, Idle Hands is still a movie you must watch just to say you’ve done it. You’ll likely groan at the iffy jokes, but you can’t fully dismiss the fun it has with practical body horror effects.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) Chase Hutchinson A delightful buddy comedy that doesn’t skimp on blood when all the horror shenanigans take hold, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil remains an all-time cult movie worth pledging your soul to. Bursting with silly gags and gory kills, it remains a horror lover’s dream.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Cabin in the Woods (2011) Chase Hutchinson A clever skewering of horror clichés that carves out plenty of bloody fun all its own, The Cabin in the Woods deconstructs the genre while also working as a solid entry in it. That the film lives and dies on a stoner saving the day makes it a real treat.

2.5/4
Roofman (2025) Josh Bell With gentle humor and easygoing rapport, Roofman tells a nice story about a surprisingly nice guy, and that's nice enough.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Rental Family (2025) Chase Hutchinson Though ultimately built to be an earnest crowdpleaser, there are many intriguing and thorny moments where it's as if a fantastic Fraser is playing the chaotic good version of Nathan Fielder from The Rehearsal. It's this that ensures it cuts a bit deeper.
Posted Sep 21, 2025  Edit critic review
The Baltimorons (2025) Chase Hutchinson It's like Before Sunset but with beer as opposed to wine, a great deal more mouth blood, and a Baltimore setting. This could sound like a horror film if tweaked a bit, but The Baltimorons is a bittersweet rom-com gem.

2/4
The History of Sound (2025) Josh Bell That swooning romantic chemistry is the cornerstone of The History of Sound, which is elegant and engaging when Lionel and David are together, and much less compelling when they're apart.

2.5/4
Caught Stealing (2025) Josh Bell Caught Stealing is entertaining to watch from moment to moment, but it's also one thing previous Aronofsky films have never been: forgettable.

The Roses (2025) Chase Hutchinson You wish better for the cast and couple, though they really ought to call it quits.

3/4
Relay (2024) Chase Hutchinson For much of it, Ahmed says few words, but you can't take your eyes off him in every scene. He's got presence to spare and never overplays his hand, capturing all the layers of his character that make you feel his every emotion even when he isn't speaking.

2.5/4
Eden (2024) Josh Bell Eden benefits from Howard's diligence and attention to detail, and it's never less than engrossing.

2.5/4
Cloud (2024) Josh Bell Cloud is appealingly off-kilter and unpredictable, although that also makes it unwieldy and occasionally frustrating.

1/4
Freakier Friday (2025) Chase Hutchinson If there is one positive thing that can be said about Freakier Friday, a sequel that never once earns its existence, it's that there is no risk of anyone in history ever being nostalgic for it.

Sketch (2024) Josh Bell It's wholesome, positive and only occasionally interesting to watch.

The Naked Gun (2025) Chase Hutchinson Even if it won't save the modern comedy as we know it on its own, it may prove how the many rumors of the genre's premature death have been greatly exaggerated.

2/4
Oh, Hi! (2025) Josh Bell For a movie about two people going to extreme lengths to define their relationship, Oh, Hi! has a real problem with commitment, and that takes the sting out of its surprising twists.

1.5/4
Eddington (2025) Chase Hutchinson Less a satire and more an off-kilter dramedy that's light on anything resembling clever jokes or deeper insights, it's got some compelling craft in the final stretch and a few solid performances, but little else.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
3/4
Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024) Josh Bell A story like this could come across as condescending or didactic, but even in moments when it's potentially problematic, Venter's wonderful, wide-eyed performance keeps the narrative grounded.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Superman (2025) Josh Bell As unwieldy as Superman can sometimes be, it's overstuffed with characters and subplots because Gunn wants to put in as much cool superhero stuff as he can.
Posted Jul 10, 2025  Edit critic review
1/4
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Chase Hutchinson It's a two-hour plus shrug, a serving up of slop that only succeeds at making the many perfunctory previous entries somehow look okay by comparison.
Posted Jul 04, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/4
40 Acres (2024) Josh Bell Thorne relies on a lot of familiar post-apocalyptic elements, although he gives them enough distinctiveness that 40 Acres doesn't simply feel like a retread.

1.5/4
Elio (2025) Chase Hutchinson Where past Pixar films created transcendent, soaring emotion, all you feel here is the cold emptiness of space where there should be a soul.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Brokeback Mountain (2005) Chase Hutchinson For all the film's moments of authentically aching passion, the greatest ache is the one that sits in the pit of your stomach as you realize that it's all gone.

2/4
F1 The Movie (2025) Josh Bell F1 is a Formula One commercial first, and a narrative film somewhere in distant second, with every story beat and character designed to showcase the supposed grandeur of Formula One racing -- and all of those corporate logos.

2/4
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Josh Bell DeBlois' slavishly faithful recreation of his own movie takes no chances and offers nothing that might challenge or upset the franchise's devoted following.
Posted Jun 12, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Chase Hutchinson The Phoenician Scheme is Wes Anderson's most spiritual, if slightly scattered, film. It's a work built around a story simultaneously intricate and incidental, profound and perfunctory, while remaining as visually enrapturing as ever.
Posted Jun 06, 2025  Edit critic review
2/4
Ballerina (2025) Josh Bell It's a rather perfunctory revenge story, with one meager late-film twist, and a stock motivation that feels less personal than John's puppy-based quest.
Posted Jun 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Chase Hutchinson Much like how Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt straps on an AI mask that curses him to see a maddening future, the experience of watching this final film in the action franchise is most akin to enduring increasingly painful psychic damage for nearly three hours.
