Shelter
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
Compared to other predictable Jason Statham action flicks, Shelter is woefully deficient. His 'hero' character is protecting an orphaned teenage girl he barely knows. He drags her into a violent mess instead of dropping her off at an orphanage.

The Plague
(2025)
|
Carla Hay
|
Even though The Plague takes place at a water polo camp for boys, this tension-filled drama is not a sports movie. It's a well-acted and stylishly unsettling story about the troubling effects of bullying and negative peer pressure.

The Fire Raven
(2025)
|
Carla Hay
|
The Fire Raven could've been an intriguing murder mystery thriller, but this disappointing movie has too much choppy editing and too many increasingly ludicrous plot twists to be enjoyable. Most of the acting performances aren't very good.

The Moment
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
The Moment is not funny enough to be a creatively successful mockumentary, and it's not edgy enough to be a satirical film about 'brat' pop singer/party girl Charli XCX. It's just a series of awkward conversations and some diva meltdowns.

Iron Lung
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
Incoherent and relentlessly dull, Iron Lung (written by, directed by, and starring YouTube personality Markiplier) is a misguided horror movie based on the video game. When will social media stars learn that on-camera fame doesn't equal filmmaking talent?

Shuffle
(2025)
|
Carla Hay
|
This documentary puts a spotlight on rampant fraud in the business of addiction rehab in the U.S., to show how some places go to extremes to get maximum insurance payouts. The movie adeptly balances systemic issues with personal stories.

Arco
(2025)
|
Carla Hay
|
Equally inspired by European art films and Japanese anime, Arco is a dazzling sci-fi adventure about time traveling and finding a way back home. There are a few story influences from 1982’s E.T. film, but Arco has enough originality to charm.

Every Dog Has Its Day
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
This comedy/drama has familiar beats and story arcs about two men who have an unlikely friendship with a large age gap. However, the performances from the principal cast members are good enough to keep viewers entertained by this story.

Send Help
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
This viciously funny horror comedy is not a typical 'stranded on an island' story. The movie taps into rage that employees can feel when they have a horrible boss, and it shows what can happen when a downtrodden person gets the upper hand.

Charlie the Wonderdog
(2025)
|
Carla Hay

It's supposedly about a superhero dog who is helpful and compassionate, but it's really an awfully mean-spirited, terribly made, cat-hating movie that tries to make animal abuse look like comedy, among other flaws in this misguided mess.

Border 2
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
Border 2 salutes Indian patriotism in this standalone sequel to 1997's Border, which is also set during the India–Pakistan war of 1971. Don't expect historical accuracy in Border 2. It's an absorbing story about friendship, courage, and sacrifices.

In Cold Light
(2025)

Clika
(2026)
|

Clika is an amateurish drama that wants desperately to be like Eminem's 8 Mile, but it's as appealing as a rusty microphone. This story (about a wannabe music star caught up in drug dealing) has stale clichés. The acting performances are stiff.

Return to Silent Hill

Repetitive and incoherent, the horror film Return to Silent Hill is yet another creatively bankrupt movie based on a video game. This turgid movie (about a grieving man in denial about the death of a loved one) has subpar visual effects and weak acting.

A mindless action flick where an accused murderer has 90 minutes to prove his innocence during a trial. There's a lot of yelling at video screens in this moronic movie. Viewers will feel like yelling at the screen too, with all the stupidity on display.

Call Me Mother has some overwrought melodrama, but the movie has plenty of charm, thanks to a charismatic performance from Vice Ganda. It's a bittersweet story of a transgender mother's quest to adopt a 10-year-old boy she's raised since his infancy.
