Movies TV Shows
Conan the Barbarian (1982) 68% 4/5 EDIT ““Conan the Barbarian” remains a pillar among the 1980s fantasy adventure films while setting Arnold Schwarzenegger on a path to motion picture stardom. It’s true that it’s a movie of its time. But that does nothing to take away its impact or appeal.” – Keith & the Movies May 7, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “While it does borrow ideas from other horror movies that came before it, there is a uniqueness to “Hokum” that gives the film its own identity within a grounded and ever-growing field.” – Keith & the Movies May 2, 2026 Full Review Deep Water (2026) 73% 4/5 EDIT ““Deep Water” is a ‘disaster movie meets sharksploitation’ and it makes no apologies. It’s full of clever visual choices, plenty of gnarly kills, and a top-to-bottom committed cast who very much understand the assignment.” – Keith & the Movies May 1, 2026 Full Review RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) 38% 2.5/5 EDIT “Most satisfying is the go-for-broke grindhouse style which (RZA) proves to have a firm grasp of. At least right up until his movie’s screeching stop of a finish, which ends up being much too clever for its own good. ” – Keith & the Movies Apr 29, 2026 Full Review The Yeti (2026) 45% 3/5 EDIT “At its core, “The Yeti” delivers on its promise. It’s pulpy and gory entertainment that only gets sideways when it tries to be more.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “I enjoyed getting an ending that didn’t lazily follow the usual formula. It also doesn’t hurt to have such a crack cast who are fully onboard for the ride. They help make "Fuze" work as sheer entertainment, which is exactly what Mackenzie is going for.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 27, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's a cinematic experience that is sure ramp up the pulses of fans all across the globe. It's slick and polished entertainment. It's also nothing short of dazzling.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Together with the stunning vistas, exhilarating camerawork, and white-knuckle tension, Theron and Egerton turn a simple survival story into a riveting action thriller that never lets you out of its grip.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Itch! (2024) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The tightening psychological tension itself is enough to keep us locked in. But Kang never forsakes the horror elements, using a cool variety of practical effects in creating some effectively bloody scares.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 4/5 EDIT “(Cronin) shows no interest in playing it safe, nor does he cater to certain expectations. Instead he takes threads of inspiration and weaves together his own wicked tapestry that works as both squirm-inducing horror and rousing popcorn entertainment.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “it’s hard not to lose yourself in the messiness…. That’s because Borgli views it through an honest and incisive lens while the formidable performances from Zendaya and Pattinson is the glue that holds it all together.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 14, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a fast-moving and hyper-stylized extravaganza of blood and guts with the kind of cinematic gusto to keep its audience onboard, even as the grindhouse glee starts to wear off.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Thrash (2026) 43% 2/5 EDIT “An insanely silly and at times bafflingly bad survival thriller that still makes for decent throwaway entertainment despite its litany of shortcomings.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Preschool (2026) 3/5 EDIT “It’s a silly yet oddly endearing movie…At times it threatens to push the antics too far. But Duhamel the director keeps things wrangled together, delivering a big-hearted crowd-pleaser anchored by a fun ensemble.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 2.5/5 EDIT “The results are surprisingly intriguing and at times fittingly unnerving. That is until everything threatens to crumble in a wobbly final act where absurdity undermines the big finish the film is going for.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 8, 2026 Full Review You're Dating a Narcissist! (2025) 52% 2/5 EDIT “"You’re Dating a Narcissist!" teases itself as a smart and sincere anti-romcom. But the film quickly devolves into an unrelatable, formulaic, and borderline obnoxious swing-and-miss.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “There’s no way it all should gel as well as it does. Yet it mostly clicks thanks to its lights-out cast, a wacky imagination, and a playful energy that’s only matched by its infectious charm.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 28, 2026 Full Review She Dances (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “"She Dances" hits its marks as a routinely funny comedy and a bittersweet family drama. It’s a film that surprises on many levels, never more than when its deeper themes rise to the surface.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Miroirs No. 3 (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “What starts as a beguiling mystery quickly gives way to a story about grief, healing, and the power of human connection... It turns out to be a nice fit for Petzold’s minimalist yet broadly observant style.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “While "Ready or Not 2" floods us with more gore, more lore, and more mind-numbing f-bombs than before, it also features less laughs and even fewer surprises. Still Weaving and Newton give it their all, making it easier to navigate the frustrations.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The film looks amazing with its heavy reliance on impressive practical effects. Yet it’s the inescapable feel-good charm and stirring emotional core that make the film so utterly irresistible.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Wardriver (2026) 100% 2.5/5 EDIT “There are several things to appreciate about Thomas’ direction, from her choices with the camera to her trust in her actors. But the story, and more specifically the characters, are practically begging for more depth. ” – Keith & the Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Containment (2024) 2/5 EDIT “Another chiller that hits so many familiar beats that you’ll immediately recognize the tune. ” – Keith & the Movies Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 2/5 EDIT “There are times when Wang hits her marks. But it’s her broader critiques that fall apart, specifically in her observations on whiteness and Americanism. They’re too absurd to be seriously considered and too broad to be insightful.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead (2026) 38% 3/5 EDIT ““Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead” is a notably fresh and imaginative slice of dystopian sci-fi that manages to transport us to a fascinating new world without breaking the proverbial bank.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 12, 2026 Full Review
