Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)
(2026)
|
Matt Rodgers
|
With Billie Eilish possessing such a singular don’t avert your eyes energy, her performance feels perfectly suited to such a straightforward concert movie in which the focus is purely on her and the music.

Mortal Kombat II
(2026)
|
Robert Kojder
|
Mortal Kombat II simply can’t shake its boneheaded desperation to be taken seriously as epic, never fully kommitting to the dumb fun that works despite some atrocious visual effects; the kourse-korrection is almost there

Leviticus

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed and would wholeheartedly recommend this picture. Equal parts art film and blockbuster movie with a pinch of wonderfully nuanced performances and a score to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.

RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate
(2025)

The dreadful One Spoon of Chocolate is ludicrous in the context of "how did anyone think this was a good idea," crossing the line from Blaxploitation to outright exploitation and stupidity. And that’s when the movie isn’t as dull as dirt
