Borderlands (2024) 10% 6/10 EDIT “It's not as bad as you think - but it's not good either.” – CBR Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Blood for Dust (2023) 78% EDIT “Blood for Dust is a thriller that's so grim it sucks out any possible fun and meaning. The soundtrack is enticing, but insinuates suspense, which never truly comes during this film's runtime.” – CBR May 1, 2024 Full Review Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) 42% 4/10 EDIT “The film's pacing is slow, and the plot doesn't truly rear its head until the end, which results in a fairly dull experience.” – CBR Mar 20, 2024 Full Review No Way Up (2024) 36% 4/10 EDIT “No Way Up strives to shake up the shark attack sub-genre, but it ends up as a lackluster experience with a very typical storyline.” – CBR Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Molli and Max in the Future (2023) 98% 9/10 EDIT “Molli and Max in the Future is a hilarious and heartfelt movie, full of excellent performances and zany sci-fi elements that make it memorable.” – CBR Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Destroy All Neighbors (2024) 71% 8/10 EDIT “Unexpected turns don't mean inconsistencies in tone, and the movie never goes so far off the deep end that viewers can't see how they got there.” – CBR Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Craig Before the Creek: An Original Movie (2023) 5/10 EDIT “Craig Before the Creek is light and easy to digest, but anyone expecting a grand follow-up to the beloved Cartoon Network series may be disappointed. This film will delight those who miss the series, but it's mostly for die-hard fans.” – CBR Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Liberty (2022) 3/10 EDIT “Liberty is a protest film that carries important themes but doesn't contain much entertainment value.” – CBR Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Everyone Will Burn (2021) 83% EDIT “Everyone Will Burn features impressive visuals and poignant performances, but this Spanish horror film convolutes itself with too many themes.” – CBR Dec 18, 2023 Full Review Leave the World Behind (2023) 73% EDIT “Fully equipped with an excellent ensemble cast and a nail-biting script, Sam Esmail delivers a knock-out of a thriller.” – CBR Dec 18, 2023 Full Review Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (2023) 42% EDIT “Unfortunately, Please Don't Destroy's first feature-length film offers a painfully predictable story and fails to elicit almost any laughs.” – CBR Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls (2023) 66% EDIT “It is funny and charming, while still bringing the proper thrills and chills.” – CBR Nov 17, 2023 Full Review The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) 64% EDIT “This Hunger Games prequel provides intriguing performances and some insight into the early days of Panem, but fails to keep the momentum throughout.” – CBR Nov 17, 2023 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% EDIT “The Killer is intriguing due to Michael Fassbender in the lead role and David Fincher's direction, but the script goes nowhere fast.” – CBR Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Walden (2023) EDIT “Walden, starring Emile Hirsch, is a mishmash of tones that doesn't work as a thriller, but the film's unexpected quirks keep it watchable.” – CBR Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor (2023) 88% EDIT “Hell House LLC Origins is a surprising and fresh take on a haunted house tale. ” – CBR Nov 3, 2023 Full Review The Puppetman (2023) 44% EDIT “The Puppetman is a new horror flick that fails to convey an effective story or major scares.” – CBR Oct 28, 2023 Full Review The Mill (2023) 46% EDIT “A single-location thriller, The Mill features important themes and a solid lead performance but suffers from major pacing issues...the film can't manage to break away from its claustrophobic location...” – CBR Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Good Boy (2022) 94% EDIT “Norwegian horror flick Good Boy features a shocking storyline and plenty of jaw-dropping twists.” – CBR Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Elevator Game (2023) 42% EDIT “Elevator Game sloppily adapts an internet legend into a film, resulting in a clunky and confusing mesh of ideas.” – CBR Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Quicksand (2023) 33% EDIT “Quicksand fails to offer anything new to a familiar subgenre of horror.” – CBR Jul 17, 2023 Full Review Sheroes (2023) 33% EDIT “Sheroes has committed performers and a frenetic style, but the story is derivative and goes nowhere fast.” – CBR Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Brooklyn 45 (2023) 91% EDIT “Brooklyn 45 has some entertaining elements, but the movie needed to push itself further to achieve greatness.” – CBR Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Falcon Lake (2022) 94% EDIT “Falcon Lake is a relatable and understated exploration of young love with a dream-like, supernatural element.” – CBR Jun 3, 2023 Full Review Sick of Myself (2022) 88% EDIT “At times, Sick of Myself can feel redundant, but overall, it is a strange film that gets under the skin and lingers there for a long while.” – CBR Apr 16, 2023 Full Review
