Marty Supreme (2025) M.V. Moorhead A very loud, abrasive, unrelenting movie... But it explores a great subject: brash, self-promoting American hustlers. And it gets at a great truth: that for better or worse, brash, self-promoting American hustlers have a way of getting what they want.

Ella McCay (2025) M.V. Moorhead It's a great idea, and I enjoyed Ella McCay, but I'm not sure it hangs together convincingly. In part this has to do with Mackey's youthfulness, and the callow and somewhat ditzy nature of the character.

The Family McMullen (2025) M.V. Moorhead Driven along by Seamus Egan's sprightly Irish flute score, The Family McMullen is, like the "Brothers", extremely low-key and mild, and I found that to be just what I wanted.

Merrily We Roll Along (2025) M.V. Moorhead It's possible that the timing of the shoot also added to the emotional charge of the movie; we're seeing actors at the end of a run, saying farewell to a smash that's also likely to be one of the better pieces of material they're ever going to get to do.

Predator: Badlands (2025) M.V. Moorhead [Elle Fanning's] guileless nattering lets enough of the Wagnerian air out of the proceedings to keep things light and amusing. Better still is Schuster-Koloamatangi, a New Zealander who somehow manages to connect with the audience through the makeup.

Bugonia (2025) M.V. Moorhead The route [Yorgos Lanthimos] takes, though admittedly funny, is heavy-handed, and diffuses the bite of what has gone before. Even so, Bugonia has more than enough brilliance and passion to be worth a look.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) M.V. Moorhead [Jeremy Allen White is] moving in his depressive mode, too, but there's no getting around it, the movie becomes a long dark night of the soul in these passages, and they make up a lot of screen time.

Roofman (2025) M.V. Moorhead It's skillfully crafted, but it depends for its light tone on us finding Roofman lovable. Because no irrevocable tragedy resulted from Manchester's crimes, but perhaps even more importantly because he's played by Channing Tatum, we can.

Anemone (2025) M.V. Moorhead Even though the movie's agonies are rooted in two of Britain's primal eldest curses, there's nothing particularly revelatory about them. But they allow Day-Lewis a series of opportunities for increasingly intense showcase acting.

Eleanor the Great (2025) M.V. Moorhead [Scarlett Johansson's] work is crisp and proficient, but the script, by Tory Kamen, is unsteady... None of this, however, is an impediment to the indomitable Squibb, whose fearless, direct performance transcends any shortcomings in the material.

One Battle After Another (2025) M.V. Moorhead One Battle After Another still has the ring of emotional truth. It all may seem crazy, but it sure doesn't seem nearly as outrageous and improbable as it would have, say, ten or twelve years ago.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) M.V. Moorhead This Grand Finale doesn't feel particularly grand; as with the two earlier films, it's a relaxing, undemanding holiday, not only from our time and circumstances, but from any judgements we might have about what we're seeing.
Posted Sep 17, 2025  Edit critic review
The Baltimorons (2025) M.V. Moorhead It's somewhat in the vein of odd couple road comedies like Planes, Trains and Automobiles or Due Date, but The Baltimorons rings true in a way those laboriously-carpentered films don't.

The Long Walk (2025) M.V. Moorhead [The book] packed a punch; but it's possible the movie, despite its inevitable monotony and the morbid self-pity common to "young adult" fiction, is even more unsettling and troubling.

Caught Stealing (2025) M.V. Moorhead Caught Stealing is ultimately just standard mayhem from the Robert Rodriguez or Guy Ritchie playbook... Butler kept me rooting for him until the end, however. So did the cat.

The American Southwest (2025) M.V. Moorhead It's a compelling, even alarming message, and hopefully a call to arms, but happily The American Southwest isn't a downer to watch, partly because it isn't just gorgeous vistas; it has a lively cast of characters.

Freakier Friday (2025) M.V. Moorhead Intrepidly mugging and pratfalling in age-inappropriate costumes, Curtis helps the movie, certainly, but not enough to save it.
Posted Aug 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Naked Gun (2025) M.V. Moorhead It takes very smart people to craft something this artfully stupid, and while this style of comedy might not be the healthiest as a steady diet, The Naked Gun could be just what we need right at the moment.

Eddington (2025) M.V. Moorhead It may be Phoenix's best performance.

Superman and the Mole Men (1951) M.V. Moorhead While movies don't come much more cinematically bare-bones than Superman and the Mole Men, it's heart-lifting to watch in the context of our current times.
Posted Jul 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Sorry, Baby (2025) M.V. Moorhead Sorry, Baby is a spectacular debut, restrained and economical yet emotionally intense, poignant yet frequently funny, unpredictable yet believable from beginning to end.
Posted Jul 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) M.V. Moorhead This Superman is overambitious, and more than a little uneven... What I liked best about the movie, however, is what it isn't: It isn't "dark." It isn't brooding, or gritty, or cynical.
Posted Jul 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) M.V. Moorhead "Rebirth" may be the corniest of the series to date, and the least plausible-seeming... But overall, the movie is still a hearty and entertaining helping of paleo-action.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) M.V. Moorhead Directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a script he wrote with Erik Jendresen, the movie is exceedingly well-made on a scene-by-scene basis. But cumulatively, it's too much.
Posted May 24, 2025  Edit critic review
The Penguin Lessons (2024) M.V. Moorhead The Penguin Lessons has laughs, but it's also character-driven and melancholy; in the long run it could fairly be called a tearjerker. It's hard to imagine the movie working as well as it does with anyone but Coogan in the lead.

Death of a Unicorn (2025) M.V. Moorhead Death of a Unicorn is strikingly funny and exciting. It also carries a tinge of sourness, but this is true of most satires.

Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) M.V. Moorhead An amusing and sometimes touching ode to the vagaries of making theatre.
Posted Feb 25, 2025  Edit critic review
A Real Pain (2024) M.V. Moorhead Written and directed by Eisenberg, this modest movie is genuinely original --very funny, very poignant, very believable, painfully uncomfortable to watch at times but ultimately a gem.
Posted Jan 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Queer (2024) M.V. Moorhead As it dives deeper into drug-fueled visions, it loses dramatic momentum. It's visually arresting, but Guadagnino finds no equivalent to the charge that Burroughs generates in the best riffing passages of his prose.

A Complete Unknown (2024) M.V. Moorhead Despite Chalamet's excellence, Norton's performance as Seeger is the real standout here.

The Invisible Raptor (2024) M.V. Moorhead This very crass, deliberately lowbrow but occasionally funny film is not only gory but scatological.

Flow (2024) M.V. Moorhead This wordless, dreamlike, almost free-associational feature is possibly the most visually beautiful movie of the year, and it has one of the year's most vividly drawn heroes, too.

Heretic (2024) M.V. Moorhead As so often when thrillers tip over from literate tension into gruesome grappling, it seems to shrink the movie a bit.Not enough, however, to diminish the value of these performances, or of the rising dread, shot through with chilling wit.

Here (2024) M.V. Moorhead Zemeckis has always been a skillful showman, and while the audacious experiment of Here is by no means an unqualified success, it certainly never bored me.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) M.V. Moorhead The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari's true power derives from the weird visual atmosphere Weine and his designers, Hermann Warm, Walter Reimann and Walter Rohrig, bring to almost every shot through boldly stylized, expressionistic sets and camera angles.

Conclave (2024) M.V. Moorhead Berger's skill is impressive, but it's the acting that makes Conclave lively and juicy, and ultimately even moving. Fiennes, always good at suffering, has rarely been so woebegone, or so wryly likable.

Saturday Night (2024) M.V. Moorhead It wouldn't have held me without Reitman and his cast's skillful execution of Hawksian overlapping dialogue and manic ensemble hum. SNL has turned many of its performers into stars, and this film could do the same.

Megalopolis (2024) M.V. Moorhead I kind of hated this movie, and I also kind of loved it... A half-hour or so in, I was starting to squirm, thinking this could be a really punishing disaster. Very gradually, however, a story begins to take shape that we can invest in.

Transformers One (2024) M.V. Moorhead Presented in the Michael Bay manner, with scenes so rapidly cut that you sometimes have to take the dialogue's word for what's happening onscreen. That said, it's a great-looking movie.

My Old Ass (2024) M.V. Moorhead Like 2018's Love Simon, the sunny, breezy My Old Ass may be most remarkable for how unremarkable it is.
Posted Sep 13, 2024  Edit critic review
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) M.V. Moorhead Keaton, though used somewhat sparingly, slips easily back into his role, tossing off asides in his muttering natter with the same moldered aplomb, and moving with the same light-footed exuberance, with which he conducted himself three decades ago.

Between the Temples (2024) M.V. Moorhead It's a gem, frustratingly flawed. There can be little doubt, however, that the Bat and Bar Mitzvah is a potent subject, especially when sought by an older person.

Alien: Romulus (2024) M.V. Moorhead Though it's not close to the 1979 original, Romulus is on the more watchable end of the franchise, deliberate and creepy for the first half, and non-stop in the second.

My Penguin Friend (2024) M.V. Moorhead My Penguin Friend, which has both Jean Reno and a jaunty, spirited penguin in starring roles, starts out with certain advantages. And it ends up needing both of them.

Sing Sing (2023) M.V. Moorhead The core of the film is Colman Domingo. Rarely does an actor gives us so much heart to invest in with so little hamming or telegraphing. It's a classic performance, both for its emotional impact and for its discipline.

Kneecap (2024) M.V. Moorhead The movie never really tries to claim that it's a documentary. Taken on its own terms, it's a delight.
Posted Aug 02, 2024  Edit critic review
Twisters (2024) M.V. Moorhead I'm not sure what the alternative would be; it's hardly fair to ask the cast and crew to work with actual twisters. But the tornado that sucked Dorothy up to Oz in 1939 has, for me, more physical menace than the virtual twisters here.
Posted Jul 20, 2024  Edit critic review
Fly Me to the Moon (2024) M.V. Moorhead Fly Me to the Moon means it all facetiously, of course, but this doesn't strike me as the most auspicious time in our country's history to lend even that much credence to a conspiracy theory.

Thelma (2024) M.V. Moorhead It's treated much the same as, say, Tom Cruise's daring feats in a Mission Impossible movie, and you realize that, in terms of courage and risk, there really isn't much difference.
Posted Jun 25, 2024  Edit critic review
The Bikeriders (2023) M.V. Moorhead Like the biker pictures from the period it depicts, it seems to be made up of images of real people, objects and places, lovingly captured but rock-solid.
