The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% B- EDIT “One of the things about the first movie and this one is the way the filmmakers work their magic in making the audience accept the thin as tissue values that provide the impetus for the plot. ” – The Taos News May 1, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% C EDIT “What conflict there is centers on his family’s tyrannical patriarch, Joseph Jackson (Colman Domingo), a man who sees the boys in his family, known at the beginning as "The Jackson Five," as his big ticket to fame and bottomless riches.” – The Taos News Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% D EDIT “Mix into that stew are more than a few stereotypes, over-the-top violence directed toward children, and enough body horror to keep you awake at night. If that floats your boat, fine, this movie’s for you.” – The Taos News Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% C EDIT “The story is much more complicated as the running time rolls on, which can be interesting to adults familiar with the characters, but probably confusing to young-uns.” – The Taos News Apr 4, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% D EDIT “The movie isn’t so much a story of tough, card-core survival in the face of ultimate evil, but a cynical portrayal of the lengths a woman may embark upon as a way to atone for a terrible incident from her past.” – The Taos News Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% B+ EDIT “The directors have assembled a wonderful film with a small but energetic cast that helps make the story involving and even lovable.” – The Taos News Mar 20, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% A EDIT “Before long, the audience is filling in the blanks every time one of the files is played, and drawn into the events with increasing dread and tingly spines.” – The Taos News Mar 13, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% A EDIT “Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s "The Bride!" is a whirlwind of brilliantly realized Grand-Guignol theatricality that virtually redefines the horror genre.” – The Taos News Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% B- EDIT “Williamson has a highly sharpened sense of creativity as he brings characters from the past to meet those in the present. ” – The Taos News Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 94% A EDIT “It embraces the audience in a rare energy that speaks with honesty and truth, in the need to look past things that are superficial in order to consider what our lives really mean and what comes next. ” – The Taos News Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% B+ EDIT “The latest, directed and written by Emerald Fennell, nearly does away with Brontë’s source material in order to explore a very contemporary baseline of rough, emotional atmosphere mixed with unhealthy and obsessive fetishism. ” – The Taos News Feb 13, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% B+ EDIT “Bronstein’s film unspools what may seem like a roller coaster ride to insanity. But, once invested, the audience is drawn in by way of Byrne’s phenomenally courageous performance.” – The Taos News Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% B+ EDIT “"Send Help" is deceptively ordinary until about halfway through, but later when the director gets into the meat of the matter, things can be scary, funny and truly horrifying.” – The Taos News Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% A EDIT “Chloé Zhao (of "Eternals" and "Nomadland" fame) has taken Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 historical fiction novel and fleshed it out as a story with great nuance, unexpected metaphor and heartbreaking tragedy.” – The Taos News Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 49% C EDIT “What made the first movie compelling was the drama between John and his wife Allison (Baccarin). Their domestic issues added a brilliant bit of drama as John tries to repair his relationship, along with focusing on the complicated problem-solving.” – The Taos News Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% D EDIT “Roberts’ biggest error is to use highly unconvincing prosthetics for Ben (played by physical actor Miguel Torres Umba) that make the cast of the original "Planet of the Apes" look like the real deal. ” – The Taos News Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% C EDIT “Marty’s a young man who moves at breakneck speed to get what he needs. One might immediately think he’s pharmaceutically-fueled, but he’s really hyped up on achieving near impossible but near useless goals. ” – The Taos News Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% C+ EDIT “It is the absolute worst when the antagonist, Quaritch (Stephen Lang), is depicted using the kind of offensive speech used to describe Native Americans. This is surprising since the action in the movie supposedly takes place in the year 2154.” – The Taos News Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% B+ EDIT “While Johnson fashions a very entertaining film, one cannot help but fault him for his under-use of some cast members. Still, for a big production Netflix movie, this is certainly worth the time.” – The Taos News Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% A EDIT “They show how a place like Zootopia, where every creature has a place to live and work and play together, offers a look at how humans have a lot to learn.” – The Taos News Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) 93% A- EDIT “Like the first movie, director Helander opts for a pure by-the-numbers action scenario reminiscent of spaghetti western-style pacing and Tarantino-esque sudden bloody action with loads of gore and little dialogue. ” – The Taos News Nov 21, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 61% B EDIT “... one supposes it’s Stephen King’s attempt to put in his two cents about just who controls who amid the chaos of our world.” – The Taos News Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 71% B+ EDIT “While it brings many insights to light about Göring and the other Nazi officers on trial, there is an unshakeable hint that this feels more like a two-and-a-half hour long made-for-Netflix movie.” – The Taos News Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Pets on a Train (2025) C EDIT “While the movie has some sweet moments and funny bits, much of the plot concocted by directors Benoit Daffis and Jean-Christian Tassy is peppered with some scary action that might be frightening for some smaller kids in the audience.” – The Taos News Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% B+ EDIT “This movie may prove a bit disappointing to devotees of “The Boss” for its focus on the artist’s inner struggles and less on his music, but for someone as vivid as he is both cannot exist without the other.” – The Taos News Oct 24, 2025 Full Review
