Shelter (2026) 65% 2/4 EDIT ““Shelter” is everything you expect a Jason Statham movie to be, no more and no less. Now we just wait until the next one, when the gruff but amiable dog surfing instructor next door turns out to have a secret past.” – Associated Press Jan 29, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “The fourth entry in an ever-more engrossing franchise is absolutely bonkers -- and a triumph. It mixes dark, queasy disembowelment and laugh-out-loud humor in a way that both subverts the genre and leads a way out of it, too.” – Associated Press Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 1.5/4 EDIT “Overall, it’s just not so good, so good.” – Associated Press Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3.5/4 EDIT “Santa left us a present this holiday season and it is exactly what we didn’t know we needed: A twisty, psychological horror-thriller with nudity that’s all wrapped up in an empowerment message... This naughty movie is definitely on the nice list.” – Associated Press Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 0/4 EDIT “It’s an incoherent mess, something that, back in the day, would be straight to DVD. “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” has an after-school special vibe with no real horror and no real awareness that it should.” – Associated Press Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 1.5/4 EDIT “There’s no way you can solve this one so just relax and let it stutter-stop several times to its overcooked end.” – Associated Press Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 3.5/4 EDIT “Reality and fiction beautifully weave in and out in "Jay Kelly," director Noah Baumbach's love letter to Hollywood that, in other hands, could so easily have become just a love letter to Clooney.” – Associated Press Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3/4 EDIT ““Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” does what sequels apparently must do these days -- load up the characters, return to favorite bits and go global -- but nails the trick, a crowd-pleasing return.” – Associated Press Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s hard to underestimate Fanning here, who keeps us interested. She doesn’t just add comic relief, she adds a much-needed human element.” – Associated Press Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3.5/4 EDIT “In many ways, this movie is, then, a mirror of “Nebraska” itself -- unexpected, complicated and very American gothic.” – Associated Press Oct 22, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 3/4 EDIT “Leto does well here as the title character, able to deliver a few good lines while executing a rock star strut in a skintight suit... But it’s Lee who steals the show, a very human action heroine for 2025.” – Associated Press Oct 7, 2025 Full Review All of You (2024) 71% 3/4 EDIT “Goldstein makes a good stab and showing he can be a leading man -- and also write a gentle, human romance -- and Poots is a revelation in showing raw emotion. The two have a natural chemistry tied by his humor and her laughter is genuine and touching.” – Associated Press Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Adulthood (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “Director Alex Winter and screenwriter Michael M.B. Galvin combine for a pitch-perfect black comedy that has a nifty satirical edge, inverting the movie convention of discovering that the kids are monsters.” – Associated Press Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 1.5/4 EDIT ““Spinal Tap II” is filled with ghosts. It’s like watching a cover band playing the hits but then realizing it’s actually the original band onstage after all.” – Associated Press Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% EDIT “Last Rights is a decent enough final cinematic prayer for this franchise, combining the personal story of the Warrens and their daughter, Judy, with a new paranormal possession that’s created a freaked-out family.” – Associated Press Sep 3, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 2/4 EDIT “There are dark marriage comedies and then there’s “The Roses,” an escalating hatefest that, by the time a loaded gun comes out, all the fun has been sucked out.” – Associated Press Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 1/4 EDIT “Somebody, anybody, should drag Odenkirk away from this nobody franchise.” – Associated Press Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “If “Barbarian” came out of left field three years ago and heralded an exciting new voice in filmmaking, “Weapons” doesn’t disappoint but it doesn’t have the advantage of surprise” – Associated Press Aug 5, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 1.5/4 EDIT “It’s hard to watch a franchise drift so expensively and pointlessly in Earth’s orbit.” – Associated Press Jul 30, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% 1.5/4 EDIT “A relaunch makes sense but it’s pretty vapid stuff until the OGs arrive. In fact, you may find yourself rooting for the killer. ” – Associated Press Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 3.5/4 EDIT “In many ways, the folks behind “Jurassic World Rebirth” are trying to do the same thing as their mercenaries: Going back to the source code to recapture the magic of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster original. They’ve thrillingly succeeded.” – Associated Press Jun 30, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% 2/4 EDIT ““M3GAN 2.0” was inevitable, but it didn’t have to be so inevitably too much.” – Associated Press Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Bride Hard (2025) 14% 0/4 EDIT “A movie, for better or for worse. In this case, much, much worse.” – Associated Press Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Taut and well crafted, a worthy birthday present to “Jaws,” celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer.” – Associated Press Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Lilo & Stitch (2025) 72% 1.5/4 EDIT “Disney should have left the original alone.” – Associated Press May 20, 2025 Full Review
