Mercy (2026) 23% B EDIT “It’s not a perfect film, but "Mercy" is intelligent, thought-provoking, well-acted and wholly entertaining. It should not have been exiled to January’s cinematic tundra.” – Akron Beacon Journal Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% B EDIT “It should be of little surprise that Affleck and Damon, even when it’s adversarial, exude chemistry. Their performances complement one another.” – Akron Beacon Journal Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% B EDIT “The film, very conventional by today’s standards, is a straight-forward crowd pleaser with a compelling story and a couple of top-notch veterans in Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson – leading the way.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% A- EDIT “Chalamet delivers the oily, abundantly arrogant performance that makes this all work. Marty could be easily hated and dismissed, but he and Safdie imbue the character with a likeability that he should not have.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% B EDIT “But the reality with "Avatar" films as strong as the voice and motion-capture work are, the star will likely, until the fifth and final film, be those stunning visuals...” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 16, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% 3/4 EDIT “The Abyss has its charms.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% A- EDIT “The enjoyment in "Jay Kelly" comes from watching Clooney and Sandler, who are both worthy of awards consideration, work through their relationship.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% A- EDIT “With awards season underway, "Hamnet" is quickly positioning itself as a top contender for multiple honors — Oscar gold included.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% A- EDIT “Films in [the animated] genre click best when they work on multiple levels and writer and co-director Jared Bush along with partner Byron Howard — the duo behind the original film and another Disney classic "Encanto" — ensure "Zootopia 2" does. ” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% C EDIT “Chu’s follow up is a helter-skelter mix where the timing is off. The editing is equally so where both just take the viewer out of the film, lending the audience to believe the film’s runtime matches its predecessor when it’s close to a half hour less.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Being Eddie (2025) 75% B EDIT “But the reality of the documentary: we’re given a perspective of who Murphy is now. That would be proud father, producer and someone who has aged gracefully and evolved as a person.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% A- EDIT “Director Guillermo del Toro’s "Frankenstein," is almost too elegant and too visually stunning – despite being painted in shades of grey – to be called horror.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% B EDIT “Taken on its own terms – that of being pure entertainment – “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” satisfies as cinematic junk food. Do not go too deep beyond that. ” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% B EDIT ““Nuremberg” proves to be a fascinating character study led by several strong performances and Vanderbilt’s capable hand.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% B+ EDIT “Few directors have been able to drop into an established franchise – especially one as mature as “Predator” – revive it and truly make it their own. Dan Trachtenberg ("10 Cloverfield") has not only refreshed it, but he’s imbued it with intelligence ” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 6, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% B+ EDIT “Told from multiple perspectives, including that of the military, the president’s cabinet and just everyday people, it’s gripping, thought-provoking television.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% B EDIT “[Scott] Cooper isn’t content to delve into Springsteen’s psyche solely, but he asks a broader question regarding the creation of art and whether it necessarily has to spring from a place of happiness. The answer is an unequivocable “no.”” – Akron Beacon Journal Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% C- EDIT “The affair proves to be the only twist in “Regretting You,” as it becomes increasingly predictable with each and every dramatic moment that’s telegraphed from miles away, thus, in turn, making the film a long trip.” – Akron Beacon Journal Oct 22, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% B EDIT ““Tron: Ares” is a visually stunning mind bender for those willing to take the trip.” – Akron Beacon Journal Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% B EDIT “Is it classic trailer bait-and-switch? That’s not necessarily the case if you take the film for what it is, which is the story of a guy who makes the wrong choices for the right reasons.” – Akron Beacon Journal Oct 10, 2025 Full Review John Candy: I Like Me (2025) 89% A- EDIT ““John Candy: I Like Me,” much like the man it explores, is an often hilarious, sometimes tragic and intimate portrayal that anyone who appreciates comedy and the creators behind it should see.  ” – Akron Beacon Journal Oct 6, 2025 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% B EDIT “...performances certainly add to the film, but Greengrass deserves a heaping amount of praise for recreating the disaster on the screen providing scope that does indeed put the audience right in the middle of action.” – Akron Beacon Journal Oct 2, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% A- EDIT “How many masterpieces is one director allowed? We’ll see once Thomas’ career is done, but you can add “One Battle After Another” to a stellar list that includes “Boogie Nights,” “There Will Be Blood” and “Magnolia.”” – Akron Beacon Journal Sep 26, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% B EDIT “Whether audiences will want to indulge the tearing apart the country’s favorite sport and leaving it in shambles given its ending remains to be seen. For some – like yours truly – “Him” represents intelligent horror, something that’s always welcome.” – Akron Beacon Journal Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Swiped (2025) 44% C- EDIT “While the performances are certainly there with James offering a solid turn with what she’s given, the script doesn't pair up.” – Akron Beacon Journal Sep 16, 2025 Full Review
