The Wizard of the Kremlin
(2025)
|
Sean Boelman
|
While there are some glimmers of potential in Assayas’s Putin drama The Wizard of the Kremlin, the film lacks the momentum and sharpness to be anything more than a dull historical drama.

Within [the Farrelly Brothers'] post-separation filmographies, which have yielded decidedly mixed results, Bobby Farrelly’s third film is a likable, if entirely forgettable, outing.

The Punisher: One Last Kill
(2026)

Joshua Ryan

Bernthal brings a ferocity to the character that we haven’t seen in earlier adaptations. There’s an animalistic quality that Bernthal has mastered, delivering grunts and roars with each swing of a blood-spattered blade...

There are certainly things to like about Is God Is — namely excellent performances by Sterling K. Brown and Vivica A. Fox — but the movie as a whole ends up a disappointment.

While its runs a little too long, Come What May actually digs into what made Ralphie May a compelling comedian. It also shows his demons were real, and they led him to a tragic ending.

It’s just as trashy, politically incorrect, and melodramatic as those movies from the ‘70s that you might have discovered on VHS. And for what it’s worth, that seems to be the exact vibe that RZA is going for.
