The Moment (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “The warping realities of celebrity are satirized in this waggish but often thoughtful mockumentary which finds Charli xcx processing the demands of commerce eclipsing creation, as if it's 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Machine.'” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 1.5/5 EDIT “Visually arresting manifestations of trauma aren't enough to sustain Gahn's return to the video game adaptation...now reducing his gloomy netherworld to a somnolence only interrupted by disdain generated for its wooden performances.” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Sam Raimi returns to adult flavored cinema with Send Help, featuring a stellar Rachel McAdams in a survivor noir asserting 'the female of the species is more deadly than the male.'” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Moses the Black (2026) 1/5 EDIT “Despite the efforts of its intriguing ensemble, Moses the Black is only successful as a case study of failed artistic hubris, simultaneously showcasing the inherent limitations of cinema wielded as thinly veiled religious propaganda...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 71% 1.5/5 EDIT “Besson's unnecessary take on Dracula is a jarring, oxymoronic exercise of glossy visuals often marred by subpar effects and clunky dialogue navigated by principal cast members who were seemingly all told to do whatever the hell they wanted...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 2.5/5 EDIT “Bekmambetov may have an innovative knack for slick pacing, as well as a forward thinking fascination with topical themes elevated by the incorporation of modern technology, but this hokey wrong-man thriller could have been much more astute...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Killer Whale (2026) 22% .5/5 EDIT “If the purpose of cinema is to elicit some kind of emotional response, something like Killer Whale is more akin to a screen saver since it's completely inert, inept, and egregiously insipid in every way imaginable.” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “An exceptional Jodie Foster is a prickly protagonist in Zlotowski's mysterious character study which charts an ambiguous, sometimes ineffable, journey for a private woman learning to be open in her environment. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “DaCosta's Bone Temple ends up being the piece de resistance of a foundation laid by Boyle's previous film---a brutal, cathartic, and subversive narrative playing out on a much more contained palette, suggesting the only way...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Rip fails to establish the necessary characterization to hook us into this nebulous heist thriller which meanders far too long in a single location (without building tension) before we get to Carnahan's forte as an action director. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 50% 1/5 EDIT “This wholly unnecessary sequel mostly inspires a cynical death wish for the irksome family attempting to survive their next steps drudging through a declawed dystopia like an obstacle course in a vintage live action Disney flick. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% 2/5 EDIT “Primate is a bit primitive in its narrative and characterization departments and Roberts should have monkeyed around a bit more with the script to enhance the gore and practical effects with a bit of subversive commentary.” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Van Sant has satirized media culpability much more subversively in the past, which makes Dead Man's Wire feel like an entertaining but tonal hiccup...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Hilditch, who seems to have a yen for end-of-the-world narratives, presents a surprisingly eerie and intimate modern zombie film, though its best assets are a trio of traumatized humans...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Queens of the Dead (2025) 83% 1/5 EDIT “Celebrating something like Queens of the Dead from director Tina Romero, a film harnessing all the sycophantic charms of Drag Race flavored frivolity more than it does the subversive zombie legacy of her iconic father's filmography...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Being Charlie (2015) 23% 1.5/5 EDIT “While Being Charlie was assumedly paved with good intentions, and features a committed performance from Nick Robinson, it is a gratingly banal experience about a privileged, dysfunctional child who has nothing interesting to say...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “An emotionally charged microcosm of children's foolish games...The Plague might indeed be nothing more than a teenage wasteland, but it embraces the simplest of sentiments we spend our lives chasing - Be Yourself. Be Real. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “The controlled chaos inherent to the Safdie signature arrives in will force with Marty Supreme, a sports drama about a dog-eared hustler who's as obnoxious and down-and-out as and of Safdie's previous hapless dreamers...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 2/5 EDIT “The third cut of Silent Night, Deadly Night is certainly not the deepest, though its treatment of a slaying Santa suffering from seasonally induced schizophrenia resulting in violent vigilantism holds some interest...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 22% 2/5 EDIT “Who is Ella McCay? Why is Ella McCay? What is Ella McCay?” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 2.5/5 EDIT “The latest Knives Out mystery is a moody, Lazarus laced bit of Agatha Christie inspired Christploitation, with Rian Johnson using a maudlin microcosm to reflect contemporary woes...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kate Hudson plays the hell outta her role in Brewer's poignant Song Sung Blue, a life affirming portrait on the pursuit of happiness that's sentimental but not schmaltzy...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “There's a nasty, subversive, and fantastically femme-centric pulp narrative underlying Feig's adaptation of The Housemaid, but sloven pacing and apathetic exposition undermine...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 2.5/5 EDIT “My anaconda don't want none unless you're more fun, hun.” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% 3/5 EDIT “In short, it's an anti-nostalgia elixir and works best in its profound moments pondering regret, a sting not lessened even as it turns back time. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review
