The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “It runs up against some rough patches during the telling of the story, but overall it is immensely enjoyable, an unflinching (and nonjudgmental) look at faith, no matter how bizarrely we may think it’s practiced.” – Arizona Republic Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Van Sant, working from a script by first-time screenwriter Adam Kolodny, is a little fuzzy on the details of societal cause and effect. But he gets great performances from his actors.” – Arizona Republic Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT ““Marty Supreme” is breakneck, it’s nerve wracking and it is above all entertaining as all get out. It makes you eager to see what Chalamet’s going to do next.” – Arizona Republic Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “The attention to detail is stunning... I found myself wondering, how do they do this? But I shouldn't have been wondering that. I should have been wondering what was going to happen next. ” – Arizona Republic Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s fun, it’s smart and yes, it actually does have something to say.” – Arizona Republic Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “It all boils down to whether you want to spend time with these characters. I think you will. Not for eternity, but a couple of hours sounds about right.” – Arizona Republic Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “It is devastating and magnetic and most of all brilliant. Don’t miss it.” – Arizona Republic Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 4/5 EDIT “At some point we see beyond the flying monkeys and the spells and brooms and lavish production numbers and see the film for what it really is — the relationship between Glinda and Elphaba, and the sacrifices they make for each other.” – Arizona Republic Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “The definition of “movie star” is pretty fluid, but in “Die My Love,” it’s clear why Jennifer Lawrence is one.” – Arizona Republic Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “It is to Plemons’ credit that he instills a character who could have been a one-note nut case with emotional complexity.” – Arizona Republic Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3/5 EDIT “It’s an imperfect film, obviously, though to Springsteen fantatics (that, I am not) it’ll be a godsend. ” – Arizona Republic Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Shelby Oaks (2023) 55% 3/5 EDIT “It’s when Mia starts actively following clues that things get dumb — or at least disjointed.” – Arizona Republic Oct 22, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Bryne’s performance is so brilliantly unhinged, such a thing of chaotic beauty, that the film would be worthy of study anyway. Bronstein makes it something more.” – Arizona Republic Oct 22, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is nail-biting stuff, agonizing to sit through.” – Arizona Republic Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% 2.5/5 EDIT “It’s sort of like a two-hour acting class from Day-Lewis. Intriguing, sure, but that’s not what you’re paying for.” – Arizona Republic Oct 7, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “Johnson is great. Better than the movie, and the movie’s not bad.” – Arizona Republic Sep 29, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “The whole movie is amazing. ” – Arizona Republic Sep 29, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 3/5 EDIT “Thanks to Wilson and Farmiga, who know the exact register of intensity to play these characters, it’s easy to remain invested in Ed and Lorraine, their work and their love slightly out of time.” – Arizona Republic Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 2.5/5 EDIT ““The End Continues” is the same thing again, only different. And not that different, as it plays on a lot of the same tropes, while also being self-referential. Why not? They’ve earned it. But it doesn’t do a lot for the movie.” – Arizona Republic Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% EDIT “This is great stuff, top-of-the-line movie making.” – Arizona Republic Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is definitely a horror movie, increasingly by the minute. It’s also really funny — in places — and the finale combines horror and comedy in a way that doesn’t cheapen either one. ” – Arizona Republic Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “For all of the dark fun everyone involved is obviously having, it’s Butler who keeps your interest. There is a quirky innocence to him and Aronofsky leans into it. He’s the kind of actor whose characters you root for -- in this case, to live. ” – Arizona Republic Aug 27, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Not everything will make perfect sense. I’m not sure it’s supposed to. It isn’t the kind of movie where you nitpick the details. It’s the kind of movie where you float along from one scene to the next, buoyed by catchy hits.” – Arizona Republic Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical (2025) 80% EDIT “It’s delightful. Yes, it’s a little light on story — it’s not going to make anyone forget “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” but nothing else is, either. ” – Arizona Republic Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “There are, in fact, a lot of funny lines in the movie ― another requirement of a good body horror film. If you can’t laugh while you squirm, it’s unbearable. “Together” is more than bearable. It’s really fun. ” – Arizona Republic Jul 29, 2025 Full Review
