Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “The middle of the film is the gooey centre of a decadent confection that, despite the nutrition label promising some good-for-you sciencing-the-hell-out-of-it competency porn, is awfully saccharine.” – Film Freak Central Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “Before it lets the air out of itself, Hoppers is frequently hilarious.” – Film Freak Central Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 2/4 EDIT “In the fashion of sequels, Ready or Not 2 is more a magnification than an enrichment: the same volume of liquid spread a mile wide, creating a much shallower pool.” – Film Freak Central Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not (2019) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “The pleasures of Ready or Not include Weaving’s performance, the wittiness of Guy Busick and Christopher Murphy’s script, and the clockwork pacing.” – Film Freak Central Mar 28, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 1/4 EDIT “The ideas in The Bride! have all been done, and done better, in movies more coherent, more graceful, and less head-slappingly obvious in their pedantry. ” – Film Freak Central Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 1/4 EDIT “Scream 7 is just cheap exploitation garbage with a generous budget and a fading pedigree.” – Film Freak Central Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% 2/4 EDIT “Gore Verbinski’s Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is a mess.” – Film Freak Central Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “Send Help doesn’t deliver on its considerable promise.” – Film Freak Central Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 47% 1/4 EDIT “With its winking cameos, perfunctory narrative skeleton, and exhausted routines, Anaconda ’25 is rancid bait so moribund that no self-respecting anaconda would even consider eating it.” – Film Freak Central Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 1/4 EDIT “Song Sung Blue is a perfect bit of awards-season flotsam headed for the Hallmark Channel for the half-interested consumption of an audience needing a palate cleanser between Jennifer Love Hewitt movies. ” – Film Freak Central Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 0/4 EDIT “Ignore the offensive parts and what remains of Avatar 3 is a cacophonous mess of sentimental mumbo-jumbo.” – Film Freak Central Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 0.5/4 EDIT “Ella McCay is terrible agitprop, terrible championing of policy wonkery, terrible political satire. It falls out of a boat and misses the ocean. ” – Film Freak Central Dec 24, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/4 EDIT “No Other Choice is fun, if typically brutal in that Park Chan-wook way. ” – Film Freak Central Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 48% 3.5/4 EDIT “Perkins is a master of negative space. ” – Film Freak Central Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 3.5/4 EDIT “Die My Love is a difficult film to like. Thank God.” – Film Freak Central Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/4 EDIT “It’s true, there’s a giant, beating heart in the middle of what could have been another hollow exploitation of our lamented childhoods.” – Film Freak Central Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 2.5/4 EDIT “When this movie works, it works so well, although it won’t speak to everyone, and Cooper shouldn’t have tried to force it to.” – Film Freak Central Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% 1/4 EDIT “Keke Palmer is woefully wasted.” – Film Freak Central Oct 28, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 2/4 EDIT “A House of Dynamite has the whole world as its big blind, and yet it feels like there aren’t any stakes at all. ” – Film Freak Central Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Play Dirty (2025) 42% 1.5/4 EDIT “Play Dirty is a non-starter. ” – Film Freak Central Oct 14, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4/4 EDIT “More than upbeat, it’s inspirational: a call to action, an invitation to the dance.” – Film Freak Central Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 87% 2.5/4 EDIT “I don’t know who Bugonia is for: I think it’ll disappoint fans of the original and of Lanthimos, and I think it’ll be as alien for neophytes and normies as a typically horrifying Lanthimos joint would have been.” – Film Freak Central Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4/4 EDIT “Frankenstein is the film Guillermo del Toro was meant to make.” – Film Freak Central Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “If it's a warning, The Long Walk is too late. If it's a documentary, it offers no fresh insights. Greed and violence have broken America? Got it. Does The Long Walk resonate as an object, though? That I could possibly get behind.I” – Film Freak Central Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Every performance in Sentimental Value is invisible and precious: the embodiment of a fully-formed human being in all their contradictions and ineffable subtlety.” – Film Freak Central Sep 15, 2025 Full Review
