Retirement Plan (2024) EDIT “It’s cute, quippy, and fun, but not without the melancholic presence of knowledge that death comes for us all, and for many of us, it comes before we retire. Best to get busy living instead of writing cheeky capsule reviews of short films. ” – ScullyVision Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Butterfly (2024) EDIT “A level of surrealism that, for all the real world material of the story, lends itself to the beautiful haze of long term memory. ” – ScullyVision Mar 14, 2026 Full Review The Girl Who Cried Pearls (2025) EDIT “Is it stop-motion? CGI? Both? Whatever it is, it’s truly marvelous to behold. ” – ScullyVision Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Forevergreen (2025) EDIT “It’s cute enough, and feels as Disney adjacent as can be on just about every level. ” – ScullyVision Mar 14, 2026 Full Review The Three Sisters (2024) EDIT “A marvel of minimalist animation. ” – ScullyVision Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Jane Austen's Period Drama (2024) EDIT “An odd choice for awards love, as it feels much more like an SNL sketch than a film, but it pleases me to see something so aggressively silly on the Academy’s radar.” – ScullyVision Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) EDIT “A Vonnegut-esque satire that employs its absurdities to strong thematic ends.” – ScullyVision Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Butcher's Stain (2025) EDIT “We’ve seen so many pieces of art about the larger social forces at play, and it’s fascinating to see how they trickle down to a simple workplace drama.” – ScullyVision Mar 12, 2026 Full Review A Friend of Dorothy (2025) EDIT “Well-constructed, but otherwise insufferable. I’m dizzy from all the eye-rolling. ” – ScullyVision Mar 12, 2026 Full Review The Singers (2026) EDIT “It’s a sweet-natured film, albeit a forgettable one, that doesn’t have much by way of thematic depth.” – ScullyVision Mar 12, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% EDIT “Hearkens back to the early days of the internet when me and my buddies would seek out creepy audio and video at 2AM in my parents’ basement. ” – ScullyVision Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% EDIT “Even with the uneven pacing and the fact that the APOCALYPTIC EVENT feels like a non-entity (and suspenseful scenes aren’t all that suspenseful as a result), it’s hard not to get wrapped up in a film so visually arresting.” – ScullyVision Mar 11, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “Despite overflowing with ambition, the “too much” feeling is ultimately an asset. What I’m saying is that Gyllenhaal took a bunch of disparate pieces, assembled them into a monster, and then shot it full of electricity. How appropriate!” – ScullyVision Mar 6, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% EDIT “A good movie that should’ve been great, and a great portfolio booster for both Glen Powell and Margaret Qualley. It’s also a reminder that Topher Grace needs to be in more things. ” – ScullyVision Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% EDIT “Our leads don’t commit to mutual destruction in any compelling way. They just kinda glare at each other here and there, sometimes in a field. It’s weird and boring. You promised Victorian Jerry Springer. GIVE ME VICTORIAN JERRY SPRINGER.” – ScullyVision Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% EDIT “Often clever, and decidedly no-holds-barred, even if it leads to an unoriginal, painfully didactic ending.” – ScullyVision Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 74% EDIT “It’s the type of stuff that you take a break from folding laundry to look at for a minute while thinking "oh cool, the pictures are moving," before returning to your chores. This is, quite sadly, exactly what the filmmakers intended.” – ScullyVision Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% EDIT “You know the drill. You’ve seen this movie 100 times, and 75 of those times it starred Jason Statham.” – ScullyVision Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% EDIT “The high-concept execution is used well enough that the increasingly hare-brained plot developments all feel par for the course. ” – ScullyVision Feb 1, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “What we find here is a tale of science vs. faith, of humility vs. ego, of memento mori vs. cult of personality. ” – ScullyVision Jan 18, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 49% EDIT “Good news for people who want to hear ol’ Gerry Butts yelling a word that’s wholly incompatible with his mouth (it’s "marauders"), but bad news for anyone looking for anything beyond surface level thrills.” – ScullyVision Jan 11, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% EDIT “Compelling, but it doesn’t necessarily merit a big screen adaptation.” – ScullyVision Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% EDIT “All the familiar beats of a music biopic are hit: addiction, tragedy, finding strength and redemption through song — yet the way the film hits these beats breaks the formula in novel ways, and does so without feeling contrived or manipulative.” – ScullyVision Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “I’m not lying when I say the film’s final moment brought forth unexpected tears, and not just because of the sudden deceleration from a movie that cruised along at 500 mph for 2.5 hours.” – ScullyVision Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Very little new ground is covered with any of the characters or their relationships. It’s just a series of excuses to throw yet another battle sequence on screen and let it rock our world for a few minutes (which it never fails to do). ” – ScullyVision Dec 16, 2025 Full Review
