Hoppers (2026) 93% EDIT “It's a comedy with some really great gags. One of them comes in the animal chosen as the protagonist. Director Daniel Chong isn't as crass in his humor. A lot of the jokes come from the brutality of the animal kingdom and the food chain.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 96% EDIT “How Nora and Agnes grew up and what it was like for them in their specific household is arguably the whole point of this narrative. The opening of the film is a beautiful montage that felt like something out of Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life (2011)” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 11, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% EDIT “...70's celluloid. The film in total is very tactile. The aesthetic Filho creates nails that decade completely. He sets the film during the time of Carnival and Brazil's hot season, and Filho is effective in making us feel the heat and sweat.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 9, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% EDIT “There are slight comedic elements but the film becomes a literal vehicle to express what political prisoners experienced or what communal trauma might look like.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “...his work here is a perfect recognition and acknowledgment of an artistic genius often overlooked in a style and manner that the genius himself would've appreciated.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% EDIT “...after not having Neve Campbell in the previous film, or having her be such a side character in the fifth Scream film, it felt so good having her back at the helm.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% EDIT “...this story line about Sharon [Halle Berry] and her issues at work is the best part of the narrative. The heist scenes are ostensibly the main attraction here, and those heist scenes are tense and can be energetic.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% EDIT “Verbinski amps up the dark humor, exaggerating things into a hyper-reality in order to underline the ridiculousness that Boomers and Gen Xers see in current digital technology, particularly interactions with social media.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 84% EDIT “...there is still discrimination, but this film is about overcoming them and allowing anybody to play. There's also pride from where one originates in this highly entertaining film...” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% EDIT “Hudson is lovely and heartbreaking. She also demonstrates a range that brought me to tears that if I were an Academy voter would get her checked on my ballot.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% EDIT “Fennell's monstrosity in Heathcliff undercut the epic romance that we're meant to buy... As he got more monstrous, whatever romantic appeal in his and Cathy's story dwindled.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “...deconstructing the brutal and merciless culture, established in the previous films. Trachtenberg is critiquing the machismo and solo warrior themes that certainly kicked off this franchise... more about embracing sensitivity and friendship...” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 16, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 74% EDIT “The story draws parallels to Beverly Hills Cop (1984) with Momoa playing the role of Eddie Murphy's Axel Foley. Momoa doesn't have Murphy's energy. Both Momoa and Bautista feel like they're sleepwalking through a lot of this.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “It seems as if the film wanted to be The Blue Lagoon meets Misery (1990), except we skip over the part where the woman is a fan of the man and we land on her simply wanting to punish him. Yet, it's not really about her punishing him.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “She's been working for over 20 years and this is probably the best performance she's given. It's also the best film she's done that has put her in the lead.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% EDIT “With all the talk about corrupt cops, we do get the impression that he [Ben Affleck] might not be one of them, but the film never expands upon JD [Ben Affleck] to give us more depth or insight into him.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 28, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “It's rare for a zombie flick to give the perspective of the zombie. DaCosta provides glimpses of Samson's perspective and of his memories, but, again, it's not nearly enough.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Blood & Ice (2025) EDIT “If Silvia's film is notable in any way, it's that he puts women in the forefront of this gangster story. Female gangsters aren't usually in the lead, but Silvia features bad-ass women in prominent positions.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 49% EDIT “Even though I don't think that this film is really comparable in terms of quality, Waugh's sequel did remind me of Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men (2006), which will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Safe House (2025) EDIT “I will never complain about seeing [Lewis] Tan in action and perform fight choreography because he will always impress. It's just unfortunate that everyone else gets short-changed on that action, particularly [Lucien] Laviscount.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% EDIT “...the argument has to be made that the killer has some kind of racial bias. Sometimes, if not most times, that bias or racism can be difficult to prove. With this film, it's actually easy to prove. ” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Souleymane's Story (2024) 100% EDIT “Sangare's performance here is probably my favorite male performance of the past year. His acting prizes are all well deserved. Some may argue that he wasn't really acting, as Sangare's personal life mirrors his character's in a lot of ways.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Heads of State (2025) 68% EDIT “From a plane sequence, to several shoot-outs, to a helicopter sequence involving a bank vault, to an epic car chase through the streets of Italy... this film has really fun and entertaining action sequences that are worth watching.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 1, 2026 Full Review G20 (2025) 55% EDIT “...not too much as to overshadow Danielle because at the end of the day this is Viola Davis' vehicle. Yet, overshadowing her is exactly what this film does for the initial action scenes.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “The ultimate point here is the lengths a person will go to pursue a dream... The extreme measures that Marty employs to be in this year's tournament don't ever really feel justified. He seems to be impulsive and operating without much of a plan.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Dec 29, 2025 Full Review
