Affection (2025) Rick Hong Meza did a fantastic job with his first outing, and I can’t wait to see how he builds from here.

Phenomena (2026) Bobby LePire Phenomena is beyond a mere documentary. It is more than just a film. It is an expansive, gorgeous creed on matter, energy, life, and the universe.

Mortal Kombat II (2026) Alan Ng For a movie like this, good is not good enough; it has to be well above average for a recommendation. Unfortunately, I found myself bored through most of Mortal Kombat II.

Dark Side of Night (2025) Alan Ng The saving grace of Dark Side of Night is that Smith never lets you stop caring about his lead characters — whether they’re running from the guns or running from each other.

Roads of Fire (2025) Bradley Gibson Watching Roads of Fire brings the global migration crisis home to ground level for those with the fortitude to internalize Lezra’s documentary and live with seeing the human faces of the problem.

6/10
Raptus (2025) Mikkel Frederiksen Its first half sees a sci-fi element used to explore how trauma can be undone, and it’s particularly compelling in this age of tech and artificial intelligence, but in the second half, that same element is merely an excuse for carnage.

Road to L'Etape du Tour (2026) Ricky Archuleta With a talented cast and crew and a story that resonates with anyone who has faced adversity and the challenges of life’s ever-changing backdrop, Road to L’Etape Du Tour is an emotional ride sure to move those who embark on it.

Animal Farm (2025) Alan Ng There are many flaws in Animal Farm, but its message is what I’m recommending the film for. Look, it will make great dinner conversation with your toddlers.

Alien in the Heartland (2025) Bobby LePire This could be translated to the stage with minimal changes. But the dialogue is good, and the acting is even better. Combine those two elements with the thematically rousing finale, and one gets a solid film overall.

Song Silenced: Coming Out in Christian Music (2026) Bobby LePire This is a must-watch for music fans, LGBTQIA+ cinephiles, and Christians who wish to understand how LGBTQIA+ members can exist in the church. In short, it has something for anyone to relate to and is well told and expertly paced.

Before the Moon Falls (2025) Alan Ng Before the Moon Falls could be considered an awareness documentary, but it’s so much more than that. It’s still the story of Sia Figiel, who left her imprint on this world for better and worse.

A Mosquito in the Ear (2026) Jason Delgado Whether you’re a parent yourself to relate to it all, or just curious to know what it can be like, A Mosquito in the Ear takes you from zero to one hundred of parenting faster than a Maserati.

10/10
What is dyslexia? (2026) Jason Delgado The filmmakers made What is Dyslexia? with the noblest of intentions: to replace the pessimistic search results with something that kids can feel good about. I love this message and the film. Beautiful minds create amazing art.

Modern Whore (2025) Jason Delgado Kudos to Andrea Werhun for laying out her sex work story for all to see, to Sean Baker for continuing to highlight such under-reported stories, and to director Nicole Bazuin for doing such a masterful job.

Who Moves America (2026) Bobby LePire The use of archival footage from the 1997 UPS strike creates a fascinating juxtaposition. Anyone who feels a company is treating them or other employees unfairly will find Bridge’s documentary a perfect blueprint for fighting for change.

The Wolf and the Lamb (2026) Michael Talbot-Haynes The Wolf And The Lamb is a superior western horror that will burn your barn down. Set your spurs to shiver, and enjoy!

The Beast of Trinity Texas (2025) Bobby LePire While there are some thrills and eerie moments here, Weaver’s debut is a drama through and through.

The Hellgate (2026) Bradley Gibson Brunelle and Grace carry the film in the lead roles, but the whole cast delivers authentically.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Alan Ng The Devil Wears Prada 2 succeeds because David Frankel trusts his cast and Aline Brosh McKenna’s script to handle both nostalgia and modern complications without preaching to the audience.

Touch Me (2025) Michael Talbot-Haynes Touch Me is worthy of the same regard as the great hard drug classics like Trainspotting and Requiem For A Dream.

No Ordinary Heist (2026) Alan Ng No Ordinary Heist is a middle-class thriller, thrilling nonetheless. It’s a con put on by ordinary men, and Marsan and Hardwicke give incredible performances in what truly is no ordinary heist.

The Greatest of These: Presented by City of Refuge (2026) Alan Ng Nick Nanton’s The Greatest of These is a timely reminder that the antidote to a world drowning in bad news isn’t a policy or a program — it’s a person willing to show up and love somebody. See this film.

Love Trap (2026) Bradley Gibson Love Trap is a high-intensity emotional spectacle with nothing held back. The journey is painful, but the viewer can take away valuable lessons learned or simply indulge in watching a slow-motion train wreck.

Project Hail Mary (2026) Alan Ng What makes Project Hail Mary click is that it balances both science and suspense. Like The Martian, the fun comes from watching a smart character get dropped into one impossible problem after another and then watching him science his way out.

Exit 8 (2025) Alan Ng Sci-fi isn’t about robots or space stations. At its best, it takes some aspect of humanity, pushes it to its extreme, and shows you what breaks. That’s exactly what Kawamura does here.

Everyone Is Lying to You for Money (2025) Rick Hong Like Bourdain, [McKenzie] also pulls back the curtain with lightheartedness and humor. The joke is never lost that he will always be remembered most as Ryan Atwood.

Amityvillenado (2026) Michael Talbot-Haynes Many will find it nauseating, but that is the point. If you love vomiting to new school punk tunes, Amityvillenado is the outhouse party you have been waiting for.

Normal (2025) Bradley Gibson Normal is action-centric brain candy, with some pokes at timely social/political topics. It’s not that heavy, however, this film won’t change your life. It will allow you to relax into catharsis and put a smile on your face.

A Blind Bargain (2025) Bradley Gibson Bunnell’s re-imagined A Blind Bargain is a melodrama in the style of a 1970s exploitation film. He captures the essence of that time in a lively, entertaining celebration, while honoring the silent film roots of Lon Chaney’s earlier work.
