Mortal Kombat II (2026) 68% 2.5 EDIT “There is undeniable energy in watching the franchise embrace its own absurdity. The action is relentless, the gore remains gleefully excessive, and the film occasionally stumbles into genuine fun whenever it stops explaining...” – Free Press Journal (India) May 8, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 95% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “The Sheep Detectives is a peculiar little delight: funny, tender, slightly eccentric, and far more emotionally intelligent than its title suggests. It may not crack the mystery genre wide open, but it offers enough warmth, wit, and ...” – Free Press Journal (India) May 8, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 3/ 5 EDIT “The film chooses reverence over risk. It offers a curated journey through the rise of a prodigy who became a phenomenon, but stops short of interrogating the contradictions that made him so compelling.” – Free Press Journal (India) Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 73% 3/ 5 EDIT “Flawed but invigorating, it proves that sometimes the spectacle of the blast matters more than the logic of the fuse.” – Free Press Journal (India) Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 76% 3/ 5 EDIT “Visually, Normal embraces its wintry setting with a stark, almost clinical precision. The snow-laden landscape becomes a character in itself, amplifying the isolation and moral ambiguity. The production design leans into quaint...” – Free Press Journal (India) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 3/ 5 EDIT “The familiar iconography remains in fragments, a sarcophagus here, cryptic scripts there, but the film is far more interested in the human body as a site of invasion than in archaeological adventure. The shift is bold and, for the most part, effective.” – Free Press Journal (India) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 3/ 5 EDIT “The film sacrifices precision for scale, but not without offering moments of sharp, subversive entertainment. For those willing to embrace its excesses, it remains a gleefully chaotic ride. For others, it may feel like a game that overstays its welcome.” – Free Press Journal (India) Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “The film’s beating heart is its lead pair. Zendaya brings a quiet, simmering intensity to Emma, allowing vulnerability to coexist with something far more unsettling. Robert Pattinson, on the other hand, operates as the audience’s uneasy surrogate. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “Once upon a pixel, two plumbers leapt across flat screens chasing a princess and a purpose. Today, they hurtle through galaxies, armed with bigger budgets, louder colours, and a franchise that refuses to grow up even as it scales up.” – Free Press Journal (India) Apr 2, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “The premise promises a heady mix of revenge drama and supernatural horror, but the execution veers into excess.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4/ 5 EDIT “Project Hail Mary is not flawless, but it is invigorating. It reminds us that science fiction need not be weighed down by nihilism to be meaningful” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “The film may not quite match the profound emotional depth of Pixar’s finest classics, yet its originality and spirited storytelling make it one of the studio’s most refreshingly unconventional offerings in recent years.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 3/ 5 EDIT “The film thrives on contradiction. It is gothic yet flamboyant, philosophical yet gleefully irreverent. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Boong (2024) 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Overall, Boong reminds us that children often wander through political landscapes adults have complicated beyond repair. Their journeys may be naive, but sometimes they see truths the grown-ups have forgotten.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Hamnet is a film of feeling rather than fact, intuition rather than interpretation. It does not argue its case so much as breathe it. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “This film is caught between self-awareness and self-indulgence. It understands its past intimately but struggles to ask why revisiting it still matters. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “This is not a perfect film, nor does it pretend to be. Its episodic detours blunt momentum, and its ideas sometimes feel more sketched than sharpened. Yet this film compensates with wit, urgency, and an unsettling relevance. ” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Overall, Bart Layton’s film finds its power not in closure but in corrosion, watching competence, desire, and certainty quietly fray. The heist fades; the damage doesn’t.” – Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/ 5 EDIT “This film is bold, confident, and wilfully divisive. Thrilling in parts and excessive in others, it favours emotional heat over moral depth. As a film, it dazzles; as an adaptation, it strays freely...” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 13, 2026 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) 17% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “This film is neither a disaster nor a triumph. It delivers moments of tension and a committed central performance, but stumbles on pacing, predictability, and a curious reluctance to bring its story to a decisive close.” – Free Press Journal (India) Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Cheekatilo (2026) 2.5/ 5 EDIT “Cheekatilo aspires to be a socially conscious thriller but ends up feeling like a déjà vu buffet of familiar tropes. It has a commendable premise and robust technical backing, yet the writing falters and the execution stumbles.” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/ 5 EDIT “Primate is not here to teach moral lessons or rehabilitate humanity’s relationship with nature. It is here to entertain, to shock, and occasionally to delight with its audacity” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 69% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “This is a film of undeniable craft, elevated by strong performances and haunting music, yet held at arm’s length by its own politeness. It listens intently to the past but rarely raises its voice in the present” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/ 5 EDIT “Send Help is uneven, indulgent, and occasionally frustrating. It is also bracingly watchable and oddly honest about the uglier instincts that surface when power shifts. Raimi may not achieve perfect balance, but he delivers...” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 2.5/ 5 EDIT “Shelter is a neatly assembled action-thriller that knows exactly what it is and stops there. Fans of Jason Statham will find familiar pleasures, while others may find the experience curiously forgettable once the credits roll...” – Free Press Journal (India) Jan 30, 2026 Full Review
