Resurrection (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “An immersive, hyper-visual, wildly imaginative arthouse-movie experience, suggesting that watching a film is a lot like dreaming, seeing into other worlds, viewing experiences that aren’t our own.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Jan 20, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Scratch your head-banging zombie itch with a big-screen toast from a goblet of plague-fest freakshow grog in yet another tale of unhinged terror set in a gritty Brit-centric future that’s a million miles away from Downton Abbey.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “It’s all fast, fun and friskily a-swirl with surprises. Like a game of pong, you never know just how, or where, the balls are going to bounce.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “"Amanda Seyfried gives her all here, pouring herself into the character of the 'woman preacher' whose zealotry launched dozens of Shaker communities with thousands of followers."” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “A Christmastime gem of a musical biopic to lift your holiday spirits, get your toes tapping, and make you smile through the melancholy…even if you don’t know your Neil Diamond from your Neil Sedaka. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “It's a mega-load of deep-dish sci-fi on steroids, but it also has some resonant real-world themes about spirituality, family, the mysteries of nature and creatures great and small. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 16, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “Steamy little potboiler pries open a Pandora's box of secrets and sets up a tangled romantic triangle built on lies, schemes, sex, misdirection and manipulation. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A story of love, anguish, grief and guilt, all ultimately channeled—plausibly enough—into a towering work of art, a tragedy that becomes a triumph.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Zesty afterlife romcom makes you laugh, makes you think, tugs at your heartstrings and sends you home with a smile.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hits home with its themes of loneliness and emotional need, wherever home might happen to be, and whether we need a bit of drama to spice up our lives or just "someone to look us in the eye and show us we exist."” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Another explosion of expensive-looking color and visual wowza, filled with songs and powerhouse performances sure to become new faves for faithful fans.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “A wonderfully woven story about life’s wide-ranging journey, told through an inside-Hollywood prism. Clooney is charming and spot-on-perfect, but Sandler is a revelation. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 19, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Its high-octane mix of satire, drama, cautionary-tale messaging and explosive action doesn’t always mesh. It sometimes feels like 'Blade Runner' crossed with 'Mission: Impossible' and 'Survivor,' with a razzle-dazzle-y dab of 'America’s Got Talent.'” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3/5 EDIT “This durable movie property reappears yet again to remind us just how much razzmatazz entertainment can be found in a star-packed bag of tricks. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 11, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “A visually splendid, fabulously engaging “kids adventure” with a surprising amount of heart.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “With this impressive retooling, the epic, time-honored tale of Mary Shelly—and its messages about men and monsters, and playing God—lives on, in gloriously grand fashion. And it may just break your heart.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 2/5 EDIT “The original 'Black Phone' was a big box-office success. But maybe it was best just to let it rest in peace, rather than bring it back with a story that feels like a strained hodgepodge of horror-show cliches and stereotypes.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 15, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 3/5 EDIT “It’s not a feel-good movie, by any means. It challenges you to watch, listen, think and stew along with its characters.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 14, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “A colossally jarring wake-up call about the fragility of our very existence…and about a time—and a day, in a span of minutes—that we can only hope never comes.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Most strikingly, it shows how Dwayne Johnson has found the other side of the showbiz coin, as a serious actor in a substantial role, a smashing success at playing a real person instead of exaggerated, often cartoonish caricatures.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 1, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 3/5 EDIT “A clash of the titans, a gladiatorial battle to the death, an angels-and-demons war exposing the ruthless soul of a sport that many Americans openly “worship.” And somehow, it makes sports mascots even creepier than they already are.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “A posh, sumptuous-looking period piece festooned with rich details...a fancy ball, a day at the races and a county fair where the two “classes” meet on common ground, a merry-go-round movie metaphor as Great Britain heads into its future.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Sep 10, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 1.5/5 EDIT “It wants to lead viewers into a socially relevant cautionary tale. Too bad it takes such a nasty, depressing road-trip slog to get there.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “You’ll get caught up in the crazy, propulsively spunky high energies of 'Caught Stealing,' watching the actor who memorably hunka-hunka’d Elvis now matching wits with monstrous Russian mobsters. Butler comes out swinging and knocks it out of the park.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 3/5 EDIT “There's bang-bang, boom-boom, snapped necks, broken bones and brutal hand-to-hand walloping—and a come-together theme of family, fathers and sons, and the bonds that can bring people closer to right wrongs, fight bad guys, or weaponize a Ferris wheel.  ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Aug 13, 2025 Full Review
