Vampires of the Velvet Lounge (2026) 20% 1.5/4 EDIT “[I]ts mix of humor and horror comes across as clunky and awkward.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Two Prosecutors (2025) 96% 3/4 EDIT “[T]here is plenty of tension in Two Prosecutors, which is impressive since the plot itself does amount to so much waiting ... for meetings...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel (2026) 3/4 EDIT “The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel feels personal and intimate, even within ... its by-the-books structure.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 91% 2.5/4 EDIT “There was probably no way ... to resolve the show's narrative and make a movie that stood on its own, so the movie is a commendable, if unfortunately unsuccessful, effort...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Late Shift (2025) 96% 3/4 EDIT “Volpe's film works well as warning ... because it is compelling drama first and foremost.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 81% 2.5/4 EDIT “Tow ... is trying to look at this story from so many angles and without any apparent awareness of the social failings underneath it...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “The new elements are mostly superficial.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “Of all the unlikely things about Project Hail Mary, the fact that it becomes the tale of an authentic and emotionally potent friendship is probably the most impressive of all.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Pout-Pout Fish (2026) 69% 1.5/4 EDIT “The Pout-Pout Fish, with its generic design and animation, features no sense of wonder and, with its bland adventure tale, a real feeling of familiarity.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Palestine '36 (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Writer/director Annemarie Jacir's film attempts ... to provide a counterpoint to what has been considered the official history for decades.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Miroirs No. 3 (2025) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “[I]t is impossible to avoid and ignore that Petzold's screenplay ... doesn't feel like a complete narrative...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Meal Ticket (2026) 2/4 EDIT “[T]he movie becomes so trapped in and by the past that it can't see a more pertinent story unfolding right in front of it.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Dead Lover (2025) 83% 2/5 EDIT “As a fully developed story and comedy ... its one note becomes repetitive quickly.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 2/4 EDIT “Once Reminders of Him gets to the real heart of this story, it's a bit of disappointment to realize just how much extraneous stuff there actually is in this tale.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 13, 2026 Full Review The Gates (2026) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT “[Writer/director John] Burr almost seems to go out of his way to drop or, at least, soften its early depiction of prejudice by the end of this story.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Bushido (2024) 3/4 EDIT “The director uses the very nature of the filmmaking to represent the man, his perspective, and his attitude. The director” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Bodycam (2025) 86% 2/4 EDIT “Bodycam ... [becomes] the cinematic equivalent of an overly predictable haunted house.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 13, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 72% 3/4 EDIT “The sound may be the star of Undertone ... but as subtle as it may be by comparison, the visual element of the film highlights why the soundscapes are so eerie.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead (2026) 45% 1.5/4 EDIT “Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead feels like an entire franchise's worth of mythology, as well as two or three entries' worth of boat races, crammed into a single movie.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 2/4 EDIT “With that basic idea set, writer/director Amy Wang doesn't quite seem to know how to approach it.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Saipan (2025) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Saipan doesn't take sides, because that would simplify this surprisingly complicated disagreement between a pair of complex people.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 12, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 69% 3/4 EDIT “War Machine ... is quite efficient...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 6, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 1.5/4 EDIT “The Bride! is either an ambitious mess or a bungled one. Either way, the result is, well, a mess.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Protector (2025) 19% 1/4 EDIT “Protector doesn't even come across as a finished movie.” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) 86% 3/4 EDIT “This may seem a simple thriller ... but there is something deeper going on...” – Mark Reviews Movies Mar 6, 2026 Full Review
