Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 4.5/5 EDIT “Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly is a surprisingly optimistic examination of growing old, told through the cynical machinations of the Hollywood machine. What’s most impressive is how a seemingly unrelatable premise becomes personal and intimate...” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Dec 7, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Hamnet is an emotionally charged meditation on the beautiful fragility of life and the transcendent power of artistic expression.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 1.5/5 EDIT “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is a fascinating film because there is clearly a lot of love and passion put into the carefully placed lore and references, I just wish that same effort had gone into crafting a coherent story.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Dec 5, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 2/5 EDIT “There’s power in restraint, and A House of Dynamite attempts to prove it, but it’s just a lot of smoke, not enough fire. A film about making decisions that ultimately fails to make one.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “This movie tackles so much — desire, dreams, change, family — and merges all of these themes into a beautiful, cohesive whole. It’s a wonderfully simple children’s film that feels genuinely approachable for audiences of any age.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Overall, Wicked for Good leans positive. There’s a lot this film gets right, even if some elements don’t work as well. If you’re a fan of the first Wicked movie, you’ll likely walk into this one loving it and finding much of the same magic.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 20, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 63% 4/5 EDIT “The Running Man is a holiday blockbuster that doesn’t fail to entertain. It’s a slick, stylish, and explosive ride that proves Wright hasn’t lost a step — and that Glen Powell’s officially leveled up to action star status.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “Eva Victor shines on all fronts as they present us with a sharply written tale about the horrors and beauty of life, while never losing focus on the humanity that binds the film together. ” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s a tale about loss, codependence, identity and honesty — but beyond all that, it’s a brilliantly executed dark comedy elevated by thoughtful cinematography and powerful performances from its two leads.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% 3/5 EDIT “Rachel Zegler is a star and this film is the perfect showcase for her talents. A Disney film that will delightfully engage young audiences and adults alike. ” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% EDIT “I walked into this film not knowing what to expect and fell in love...” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Jack Quaid is unbeatable. A rom-com on adrenaline, with some fantastic camera work and action sequences that live up to the premise. ” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Bong Joon-ho’s style oozes all over the film as his lens becomes the perfect canvas for a masterful performance from Robert Pattinson. A genuinely funny film, with all the high concept thematic storytelling you have come to expect from Bong.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Cleaner (2025) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Daisy is so likable that you can’t help but root for her as she goes full on action hero. ” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 4.5/5 EDIT “What if 'Final Destination was insanely funny but also an arthouse film?” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “A wonderfully satirical stab at the Rom-Com genre!” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “A wild premise executed brilliantly by its talented cast. Sophie Thatcher gives a star-making performance and Jack Quaid continues his exceptional run of stellar projects. ” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% EDIT “This is not something that breaks the formula and recreates it in a way that's profound and nuanced, but it is a solid monster movie.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “...I think a lot of people went into this expecting it to be his magnum opus monster movie, but instead are given a much more intimate look into the soul of the artist. ” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% 2/5 EDIT “The story's sloppy, the dialogue is cringy at times and nothing is really executed as well as it needs to be to make a story like this work.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) 62% EDIT “If there’s one word that defines Happy Gilmore 2, it’s “uninspired.” The screenplay limps from scene to scene, desperate for laughs but content to recycle old catchphrases and callbacks rather than invest in anything fresh or meaningful.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Sep 9, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The Naked Gun is hilarious. It is a non-stop barrage of jokes that keeps going even after the credits roll.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Jul 30, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Director Matt Shakman went into this movie with a strong vision and admiration for the source material and it shows in every frame. This is a Marvel movie unlike any other and should serve as the new standard moving forward. ” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Jul 25, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% 4/5 EDIT “I Know What You Did Last Summer toes a line between well executed slasher and self-aware legacy sequel that I’m sure will please fans of the franchise and slasher lovers all the same.” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 3/5 EDIT “A very safe, very by-the-numbers Marvel movie...” – The MontyVerse (YouTube) Jul 14, 2025 Full Review
