Prom Dates (2024) 39% B- EDIT “Prom Dates’ high-concept plot is simply a vehicle for two things: a succession of funny sequences and a handful of touchy-feely self-discoveries.” – AV Club May 3, 2024 Full Review The Tearsmith (2024) 14% 6.0/10 EDIT “If someone were to compile a comprehensive list of young adult romance genre tropes, it would likely be a spitting image of Netflix’s The Tearsmith.” – Paste Magazine Apr 4, 2024 Full Review The Greatest Hits (2024) 50% 6.2/10 EDIT “The Greatest Hits loses steam quickly—or never really picks up steam to begin with.” – Paste Magazine Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Good Grief (2023) 76% 7.1/10 EDIT “Good Grief is not a dramedy, but rather a somber film about the messiness of grief and its often unforgiving, even destructive, grip.” – Paste Magazine Jan 5, 2024 Full Review Night Swim (2024) 19% 6.1/10 EDIT “The issue with Night Swim isn’t that it’s ridiculous, it’s that it doesn’t understand quite how ridiculous it is.” – Paste Magazine Jan 4, 2024 Full Review When Evil Lurks (2023) 96% 8.1/10 EDIT “When Evil Lurks isn’t just a grim and nightmarish cautionary tale – it’s also insanely fun.” – Paste Magazine Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Saw X (2023) 81% 8.0/10 EDIT “It’s torture-forward, funny, preposterous, imaginative and puts into practice what the franchise should have learned a long, long time ago: There is no reason to reinvent the saw blade.” – Paste Magazine Sep 29, 2023 Full Review The Nun II (2023) 51% 6.6/10 EDIT “If you’re looking for nothing more and nothing less than a film where a barbaric nun slaughters everyone in its sight, well, look no further. Everyone else will be nun too pleased.” – Paste Magazine Sep 8, 2023 Full Review The Eternal Memory (2023) 92% 8.3/10 EDIT “Perhaps the greatest feat of the courageous The Eternal Memory is Alberdi, Góngora and Urrutia’s ability to broach the subject with an emphasis on life, not death.” – Paste Magazine Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Meg 2: The Trench (2023) 27% 5.9/10 EDIT “Meg 2 is a series of unfortunate events that is so non-stop that it will exhaust even the biggest action enthusiast.” – Paste Magazine Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Corner Office (2022) 26% 5.4/10 EDIT “While Corner Office is heavily concerned with satirizing office culture, it doesn’t actually bother to say anything meaningful about it.” – Paste Magazine Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) 99% 8.4/10 EDIT “Its sunny, pastel color palette, whip-smart comedy, and ecstatic musical montages make Margaret an exhilarating, ecstatic, and thought-provoking watch.” – Paste Magazine Apr 27, 2023 Full Review From Black (2023) 33% 5.5/10 EDIT “From Black falls short both as a tale of grief and as a campy creature feature.” – Paste Magazine Apr 26, 2023 Full Review To Catch a Killer (2023) 53% 5.9/10 EDIT “Unfortunately, grandiose fireworks and scathing close-ups aren’t enough to rescue To Catch a Killer from committing the cardinal sin of a psychological thriller: It’s a little dull.” – Paste Magazine Apr 19, 2023 Full Review Air (2023) 93% 8.2/10 EDIT “A deft, nail-biting look into one of biggest deals in sports history.” – Paste Magazine Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Joy Ride (2023) 90% 7.9/10 EDIT “If you miss the days when comedies weren’t afraid to dish out an outrageous serving of full-frontal nudity, hard drug use, unbridled horniness and delightfully gruesome potty humor, boy do I have the movie for you.” – Paste Magazine Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise (2023) 85% 7.6/10 EDIT “Evil Dead Rise is everything you could ask for from an Evil Dead flick: It’s disgusting enough to make you physically recoil, it’s funny as hell and, perhaps most importantly, it might just wield more blood than I’ve ever seen in a movie.” – Paste Magazine Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Tetris (2023) 81% 6.6/10 EDIT “Tetris is repetitive, melodramatic and surprisingly uneventful.” – Paste Magazine Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Problemista (2023) 85% 8.5/10 EDIT “A wholly Kafkaesque experience, replete with a healthy dosage of ludicrousness that Torres highlights with magnificent maze-like sets that recall the wacky, dystopian office spaces of Jacques Tati’s Playtime.” – Paste Magazine Mar 15, 2023 Full Review Bottoms (2023) 91% 8.0/10 EDIT “With the help of Sennott, who co-wrote the script, Seligman squeezes every ounce of humor out of each of the film’s thoughtfully-crafted scenarios.” – Paste Magazine Mar 13, 2023 Full Review National Anthem (2023) 91% 8.5/10 EDIT “The beauty of National Anthem is that it effortlessly challenges all expectations and preconceived notions. To keep viewers surprised, while also confidently challenging the very fabric of the American West, is a mighty and somewhat miraculous feat. ” – Paste Magazine Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Your Place or Mine (2023) 31% 5.7/10 EDIT “Juxtaposing Your Place or Mine with much better films gives it an unfair disadvantage right out of the gate. And it’s a disadvantage that it doesn’t need.” – Paste Magazine Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Somebody I Used To Know (2023) 71% 7.3/10 EDIT “Somebody I Used to Know’s strengths don’t lie in its humor, but Brie’s performance, the magnificent story, and well-played dramatic moments are (almost) enough to make up for the cringing.” – Paste Magazine Feb 9, 2023 Full Review You People (2023) 39% 7.3/10 EDIT “Hill’s unique talent for playing a character who incessantly talks himself into a hole carries much of You People’s comedic success.” – Paste Magazine Jan 27, 2023 Full Review Dog Gone (2023) 43% 5.0/10 EDIT “Perhaps most frustrating about Dog Gone’s unabashed gushiness is that it’s dishonest to the story it’s based on.” – Paste Magazine Jan 18, 2023 Full Review
