28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
93%
3/5
EDIT
“"The Bone Temple" completes its assignment of getting us excited for the next film while being daring and surprising enough to leave us with no idea what to expect the next time we see these characters.” –

EDIT
“Craig has now settled into the role of Blanc like a comfortable tweed jacket in a story that wrestles with matters of faith and brilliantly holds space for believers and nonbelievers alike.” –

Good Fortune (2025)
78%
4/5
EDIT
“ A comedy that wears its heart on its sleeve while it pokes and prods at our modern condition is a difficult needle to thread, but Ansari makes it look so easy, it makes you wonder why more comedies can’t be this good.” –

TRON: Ares (2025)
53%
3/5
EDIT
““Tron: Ares” cements the Tron trilogy as an odd little cinematic anomaly that has just enough going for it to make it a pleasurable experience for those who stumble across it, but flawed enough that those who miss it won’t have anything to be upset about.” –

EDIT
““Jurassic World: Rebirth” marks a glorious return to mediocrity. It’s serviceable plot and workman-like performances no longer distract from the whole point of why we’re here – to see dinosaurs do cool stuff!” –

“Boyle’s signature style is here with quick edits and exciting needle drops. But there is also a lot of innovation here too, as most of the movie was filmed on an iPhone which makes the film feel intimate and grounded.” –

“While it’s easy to be dazzled by the glitz and grandeur of Oz, “Wicked” works best when it is at its simplest and the focus is on the chemistry between Erivo and Grande and their vocal talents.” –
