3/4

Hoppers (2026)
96%
3.5/4
EDIT
“It's a good-hearted film, in addition to being a very funny, genuinely creative, and, to some surprise because of how downright silly it can be, emotionally resonant one.” –

3/4
EDIT
“Benna may not make much room for grief in the film, but it is, in its own way, an act of mourning.” –

The Napa Boys (2025)
56%
0.5/4
EDIT
“[T]his is an awful comedy, filled with humor so random and obscure that it almost seems a stretch to think even the cast members understand why these jokes are supposed to be funny.” –

3/4

2/4
EDIT

Bring the Law (2026)
1.5/4
EDIT
“[T]he movie's reliance on formula, clichés, and a bunch of characters doing things that make little sense except to keep the plot moving forward are its undoing.” –

Ghost Elephants (2025)
100%
3/4
EDIT
“Ghost Elephants ... is a film about a search, not a hunt, and a mystery, not an answer. That makes it compelling as both a scientific endeavor and a philosophical one.” –

For Worse (2025)

2/4
EDIT
“For Worse ... takes an intriguing, engaging character and crams her into the pigeonhole of a clichéd archetype and narrative.” –

Dreams (2025)

EDIT
“The little characterization Fernando does receive also makes that shift in the last stretch of Dreams even tougher to accept.” –

The Bluff (2026)

3/4
EDIT
“The Bluff feels charmingly old-fashioned, with its swashbuckling action, yet distinctly modern, with its bloody and occasionally grisly violence.” –

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025)

The Dreadful (2026)

“The Dreadful is a bit too dull for the occasional excesses in which the movie indulges and too confounding for the very simple fable it's telling.” –
