Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Brian Gill The Diminishing Returns Cinematic Universe.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Brian Gill Missing some of the humor of the previous Blanciverse entries but packed with outstanding performances and a ton of gorgeous camerawork.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Brian Gill Beautiful storytelling and some well-crafted new characters make Zootopia 2 so much better than it ever needed to be in order to be successful.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Brian Gill A bold choice to make an entire musical with only one good song.

The Running Man (2025) Brian Gill There are some great parts to this movie and Glen Powell carries but in the end, you're left with a weak final act and the feeling that Edgar Wright is adrift.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Brian Gill Absolutely atrocious. Can't wait for the next one.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Brian Gill Wasn't expecting a Predator movie to also be one of the funniest movies of the year. An all-around great time.

B
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Brian Gill The first third is thrilling but it's a tale of diminishing returns from there. A new Bigelow film is a big deal, so when that film under delivers, it feels like a great disappointment.

B
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Brian Gill Better than some biopics, worse than others. It's a bit of a middling recap of an interesting era in a great performer's life but there are enough solid moments to carry it through.

TRON: Ares (2025) Brian Gill A movie that has no business being as lifeless and dull as it is.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Richard Bardon absolutely ridiculous, inane, and illogical. had a great time with it.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Brian Gill Johnson's performance is good but not good enough to fully disguise a poorly made, wholly unnecessary film.

One Battle After Another (2025) Brian Gill The best movie I've seen since Oppenheimer.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Kent Garrison Ultimately, it's not a story worth telling on the big screen.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
A+
One Battle After Another (2025) Richard Bardon Timeless and timely. With miraculous and wholly unique performances with a driving plot that could easily meander into a "hang out movie" but decides to be a plot-driven thriller instead, thankfully. Perfect.

B
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) Kent Garrison "This Is Spinal Tap" makes way more sense to make a sequel of than the majority of comedy reboots we see these days.

One Battle After Another (2025) Kent Garrison For the last two hours, it just doesn't let up.
Posted Oct 02, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) Brian Gill Unnecessary but also inoffensive in its existence. There are some real laughs but the involvement of a Fred Armisen or Bill Hader, someone with a fresher sense of humor, would have made the whole thing work better.

A
The Long Walk (2025) Brian Gill The plot is a bit predictable but Lawrence builds tension through the withholding of violence followed by its startling, graphic explosion. It's unsettling and visceral and the bond formed between the leads is authentic and affecting.

B
Eddington (2025) Brian Gill An interesting experience that is, at times, an interesting movie.
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Nobody 2 (2025) Brian Gill Gets lost in its own narratives at times but when it's fun, it's very fun, and Odenkirk owns the role so well.
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
A+
The Naked Gun (2025) Brian Gill The perfect mix of incredibly smart and incredibly stupid. Comedies are back!
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
The Long Walk (2025) Richard Bardon Affecting and well paced, of emotional weight and harrowing though perhaps forgettable in years to come.

The Long Walk (2025) Kent Garrison A perfectly adequate movie.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Kent Garrison I hope they keep making Conjuring movies.

Eddington (2025) Kent Garrison I love seeing Ari dabble in the thriller genre.

Weapons (2025) Richard Bardon Perfectly paced and performed, not quite a masterpiece but I now believe Cregger has one in him...

Nobody 2 (2025) Kent Garrison I wish it didn't spend so much time building up the world around Hutch since this (unfortunately) might be the last movie in this series.

Weapons (2025) Kent Garrison Weapons is an all-timer.

A
The Naked Gun (2025) Richard Bardon A joke-first, last, and everything comedy we don't see too often anymore. Extremely well executed and not a second too long.
Posted Aug 11, 2025  Edit critic review
C
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Brian Gill Johansson and Ali elevate the material as best they can and there are some cool scenes but for me, it's another failed attempt to regain the magic of the original Jurassic Park. An improvement on the previous franchise entries but still a failure.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
A
Superman (2025) Brian Gill The rushed pacing and an overstuffed plot are the only things holding this back from being truly great. Gunn understands Superman, his world, and his surrounding characters so well and the cast is, to a person, perfect in their roles. Kindness is cool!

B
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Brian Gill Every criticism of HG2 as a cameo-filled callback fest is accurate! Yet it is also, for large portions, a lot of fun. An awful movie but a great time.

A
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Brian Gill This is the most important MCU movie in half a decade, at least, and it is a massive (sunglasses on) step in the right direction. The visuals are stunning, the cast is locked in, and the writing is surprisingly solid.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Kent Garrison Maybe the most impressive visuals I've ever seen in the MCU.

Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Richard Bardon Enjoyed the real golfers enormously, and a few of the other celebrity cameos as well...a perfectly fine nostalgic Netflix exercise – but not a real movie.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
B
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Richard Bardon A nice aesthetic and thematic reset – can't say it lit me on fire for another 18-movie run grounded in this setting, but a perfectly enjoyable summer 120 minutes

B-
Superman (2025) Richard Bardon Making a passable Superman film (among the highest degree of difficulty in their stable of characters) is certainly a step in the right direction. Tonally sound, even if some character inclusions and drama may have been a bit ham-fisted in moments

F1 The Movie (2025) Kent Garrison It's not a movie for hardcore F1 fans. It's a movie for the masses.

28 Years Later (2025) Richard Bardon Like the recent Planet of the Apes films, this does a stellar job world building a bit more than the originals. The thrills are logistically earned and the visuals are seamless with the original films.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Kent Garrison One of the few animated films worthy of the live-action treatment.

28 Years Later (2025) Kent Garrison The best movie of the series so far.

Ballerina (2025) Brian Gill I love that this franchise takes the mythology of its world building incredibly seriously while also allowing the actual plot and action on screen to be absurd and ridiculous in the most fun way. Also: flamethrower fight!

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Brian Gill This should be the model for all studios when doing the live action remake thing.
Posted Jun 21, 2025  Edit critic review
B
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Richard Bardon There's an existential problem with this movie, of course (movie for shareholder value!), but the end result is a fun, perfectly accessible family film with a solid, scene-stealing performance from Butler (without the White House in danger!)
