Heretic (2024) 90% EDIT “Don't make the mistake of, like Hugh Grant's character, thinking there's more thought put into this than there is. But there is some, and I thought they pulled it off pretty well.” – Council of Geeks Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “I know suggesting something might be the best Disney animated sequel is kind of a dubious honor... we're grading on a curve here. But yeah, this is pretty solid.” – Council of Geeks Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) 95% EDIT “(Dan Trachtenberg) is really good at what he does. And this is quite good.” – Council of Geeks Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “Boy, Predator... that is a franchise on a roll lately.” – Council of Geeks Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% EDIT “It's a smart script in a very non-show-off-ish way.” – Council of Geeks Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “(I feel) this is a middling Benoit Blanc mystery, but that's still better than most mysteries.” – Council of Geeks Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% EDIT “It feels spawned from the exact same energy and arrogance that brought us that "Imagine" video from the start of the lockdowns, early in the pandemic... this feels like it's birthed from the exact same messed up, out of touch, tone deaf instincts.” – Council of Geeks Oct 30, 2025 Full Review House of Games (1987) 93% EDIT “Maybe part of the problem is that (Mamet's) roots are in theater... This is something that could actually make for a decent remake... It begs for a stronger stylistic hand in the presentation, and it just doesn't have that.” – Council of Geeks Oct 18, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% EDIT “I think this managed to balance its elements and hold onto its themes through an unconventional narrative to tell what is ultimately a very simple story on a grand scale. I really adored this movie.” – Council of Geeks Oct 18, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% EDIT “It is often a heretical thing to say that you liked a remake better than the original... but here we are.” – Council of Geeks Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% EDIT “There was one moment that just hit so wrong... anyways, rest of the movie's really good.” – Council of Geeks Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “What you've heard is true: it's good.” – Council of Geeks Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% EDIT “I enjoy these movies for what they are, which is dumb fun.” – Council of Geeks Jul 18, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 92% EDIT “I want more.” – Council of Geeks Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% EDIT “You know some day one of these movies is going to be made by somebody who actually understands kink and BDSM dynamics, and I look forward to that day.” – Council of Geeks Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% EDIT “Being familiar with the story really let me appreciate and drink in what Eggers does with this.” – Council of Geeks Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% EDIT “I went in with basically no expectations... and boy did this meet them.” – Council of Geeks Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% EDIT “This did such a great job at getting me invested in these characters and this setting long before the vampires show up.” – Council of Geeks Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution (2024) 100% EDIT “While it's not the deepest thing in the world, it's a good foundational start to go more into (queer comedians).” – Council of Geeks Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% EDIT “It was well made, it was well thought out as an expansion, continuation, and growth of what the previous one was. I just personally will never watch it again, because I can't handle cringe.” – Council of Geeks Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 60% EDIT “Both the original and this movie end with the song "We Know the Way." Do you though, Disney? Do you really?” – Council of Geeks Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% EDIT “It’s a trashy B grade plot that thinks it’s deep... It’s a crass and shallow look at transness that thinks it’s breaking new ground when it’s wallowing in the tropes and cliches actual queer artists have been trying to move on from for decades.” – Council of Geeks Jan 25, 2025 Full Review The Platform (2019) 81% EDIT “If you're a fan of single setting movies like Cube, or Exam, then you definitely should seek this out.” – Council of Geeks Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Abigail (2024) 83% EDIT “It's good. Not amazing, but good.” – Council of Geeks Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% EDIT “This entire revived Apes series has been really good, and this is a really worthy entry.” – Council of Geeks Nov 5, 2024 Full Review
