Animal Farm (2025) 24% EDIT “ Serkis and screenwriter Nicholas Stoller have turned Orwell's hard, unsentimental vision into just another kiddie flick. ” – Less Hat, Moorhead May 1, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% EDIT “Streep is so dynamic and funny that the performance is still entertaining and even emotionally textured, and the grudging allowances to appropriate workplace behavior that Miranda must make in the current climate are sort of amusing.” – Phoenix Magazine May 1, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% EDIT “It’s Coel, poised and controlled yet fiercely charged, who does much of the movie’s heavy lifting. Hathaway is the superstar here, but Coel is the star. ” – Phoenix Magazine Apr 27, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 38% EDIT “Something’s missing. The movie has the decorous feel of an official story, almost a press release. As a very casual fan of Michael Jackson, at most, I can’t say there was anything major here that I didn’t already know about his career. ” – Phoenix Magazine Apr 27, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% EDIT “Many of the plot points, starting with but not limited to the idea that a child in this condition could be cared for at home, are deeply stupid. But that in itself wouldn't be a dealbreaker if the movie weren't so rotten-spirited.” – Less Hat, Moorhead Apr 23, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% EDIT “The young Norwegian writer-director Kristoffer Borgli shows a remarkably confident touch. He somehow sustains the polished romance and erotic glamour of the characters even as their lives are falling apart, and he raises the tension expertly.” – Phoenix Magazine Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) 90% EDIT “This sprightly, rapid-cut, graphically engaging movie, co-directed by Charlie Tyrell, tries to find a tolerable way to navigate a middle course. The result is a shrug: it could go either way, or a thousand other ways we can't predict.” – Less Hat, Moorhead Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Marc by Sofia (2025) 74% EDIT “Jacobs has a wilder side as well, which is displayed in the freaky theatricality of his shows, and it’s here that the film really comes to life. ” – Phoenix Magazine Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% EDIT “It’s a true achievement in special effects characterization, and you’ll forgive me if I observe that Rocky rocks. ” – Phoenix Magazine Mar 25, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% EDIT “There’s no denying that undertone is creepy... What the movie lacks, perhaps, is a moment of revelation, where everything snaps together and the story adds up. ” – Phoenix Magazine Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% EDIT “There are genuinely strange and imaginative ideas and images here and there’s also heart, and even some subtlety and complexity of thought. By the end, Hoppers takes on an epic quality, without ever losing its cute factor. ” – Phoenix Magazine Mar 6, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “The Bride! is so frustrating that I can’t recommend it, but I wouldn’t want to have missed it, and I know there are plenty of people who will like this lavishly produced mess.” – Phoenix Magazine Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Casablanca (1942) 99% EDIT “Flawlessly directed by Michael Curtiz, this tense yet expansive and funny, endlessly quotable tale of glamorous anti-fascists trying to escape the title city, foil the Nazis and come to terms with past romances remains highly re-watchable.” – Phoenix Magazine Feb 24, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 80% EDIT “The story about the film, of course, is Foster, not only because she plays her role almost entirely in French... She’s also impressively bleak and emotionally constricted. It’s one of her best performances.” – Phoenix Magazine Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% EDIT “It’s Van Sant’s first theatrical feature since 2018, and as an evocation of its period, it’s intensely vivid; those of us who remember the mid-’70s in middle America may find it almost hallucinatory.” – Phoenix Magazine Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 47% EDIT “This movie makes the Hangover flicks look like Oscar Wilde. But these actors, particularly the always game and personable Rudd, passionately commit to the stupidity, and this Anaconda may strike an emotional chord with certain audience members.” – Phoenix Magazine Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% EDIT “Jackman is terrific in a role that seems tailor-made for him... Excellent and lovable as Jackman is, however, he’s shown up by his leading lady. ” – Phoenix Magazine Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “A very loud, abrasive, unrelenting movie... But it explores a great subject: brash, self-promoting American hustlers. And it gets at a great truth: that for better or worse, brash, self-promoting American hustlers have a way of getting what they want.” – Less Hat, Moorhead Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “The dialogue isn’t poetry but the dialogue isn’t the point; the shimmering, immersive visuals and mythic yarnspinning are what the movie is for. In the last hour or so I was fully invested; I wanted to see the good guys win and the bad guys lose.” – Phoenix Magazine Dec 20, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% EDIT “It’s probably a hair longer than it needs to be... But it’s a polished production, the three leads are improbably pretty, and the rip-snorting gothic comeuppances of the homestretch are satisfying. ” – Phoenix Magazine Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% EDIT “It's a great idea, and I enjoyed Ella McCay, but I'm not sure it hangs together convincingly. In part this has to do with Mackey's youthfulness, and the callow and somewhat ditzy nature of the character. ” – Less Hat, Moorhead Dec 13, 2025 Full Review The Family McMullen (2025) 83% EDIT “Driven along by Seamus Egan's sprightly Irish flute score, The Family McMullen is, like the "Brothers", extremely low-key and mild, and I found that to be just what I wanted. ” – Less Hat, Moorhead Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “It's possible that the timing of the shoot also added to the emotional charge of the movie; we're seeing actors at the end of a run, saying farewell to a smash that's also likely to be one of the better pieces of material they're ever going to get to do.” – Less Hat, Moorhead Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% EDIT “Hamnet speaks to a truth every parent knows: that the best-case scenario is that you live in fear for your children until the day you die. The movie dramatizes it potently, and I’m glad I saw it, but I doubt I’ll ever want to see it again.” – Phoenix Magazine Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) 93% EDIT “Like many Hughes films, it carries a whiff of his unapologetic sense of the suburban upper middle class as an aspirational paradise. But Planes, Trains and Automobiles squares off two of the greatest comic actors of their generation. ” – Phoenix Magazine Nov 19, 2025 Full Review
