4/5
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Russ Simmons For the uninitiated, "Billie Elish – Hit Me Hard and Soft" provides context for Eilish’s enormous popularity. For fans, it’s pure catnip.

3/5
The Sheep Detectives (2026) Russ Simmons While it tries a bit too hard to be heartwarming, "The Sheep Detectives" is a harmless and likable popcorn flick.

3/5
Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) Russ Simmons While it’s manipulative and predictable, a strong cast keeps "Remarkably Bright Creatures" afloat.

4/5
Swapped (2026) Russ Simmons "Swapped" is a family film in the best sense, providing thoughtful entertainment that can be enjoyed by all age groups.

3/5
Deep Water (2026) Russ Simmons While it’s overly familiar, director Renny Harlin’s opus "Deep Water" is impressively filmed. It ain’t deep, but disaster movie fans won’t mind.

2/5
Animal Farm (2025) Russ Simmons This so-called modernized version of "Animal Farm" isn’t for adults who revere Orwell or for kids who couldn’t care less.

3/5
Fuze (2025) Russ Simmons "Fuze" won’t light any fires but is a zippy bit of escapism.

3/5
Desert Warrior (2025) Russ Simmons "Desert Warrior" is a historical action flick that desperately wants to be "Lawrence of Arabia," but falls somewhat short.

3/5
Apex (2026) Russ Simmons While more than competent, "Apex" has a grisly ugliness that can be a bit hard to stomach.

3/5
Michael (2026) Russ Simmons If you’re looking for an in-depth, warts-and-all biopic about the King of Pop, keep looking. If you want a slick, entertaining reenactment of some great music, then "Michael" is the movie for you.

0/5
Balls Up (2026) Russ Simmons It’s good to try to find something positive in even the worst movies, but there’s nothing remotely redeeming in the criminally atrocious Amazon Prime comedy, "Balls Up."

4/5
The Christophers (2025) Russ Simmons If you want to see two brilliant actors go toe-to-toe, the sly comedy "The Christophers" is the movie for you.

2/5
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Russ Simmons Let’s hope it’s a wrap on this version of The Mummy.

1/5
Thrash (2026) Russ Simmons "Thrash" is no "Sharknado." It’s better than that camp classic, but not as funny. "Thrash" just bites.

3/5
Hamlet (2025) Russ Simmons Some of the power of The Bard’s poetry is lost when rushed or mumbled to give it a more edgy feel. This "Hamlet" is a respectable mixed bag.

2/5
Outcome (2026) Russ Simmons "Outcome" is like George Clooney’s recent flick "Jay Kelly," but with a meaner edge.
Posted Apr 10, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
A Great Awakening (2026) Russ Simmons While it glosses over some of controversial aspects of Whitefield’s life and his debatable positions, it’s a thoughtful, well-acted and sometimes moving account aimed at a receptive Christian audience.
Posted Apr 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Drama (2026) Russ Simmons The scenario of "The Drama" is designed to make you squirm. On that count, it’s very successful.
Posted Apr 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Russ Simmons The visuals are duly impressive, but the plot of "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" may evaporate from your memory faster than a Mario power-up.

4/5
André Is an Idiot (2025) Russ Simmons "Andre is an Idiot" is cleverly made and surprisingly touching given how utterly irreverent and profane it is.
Posted Mar 27, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
A Magnificent Life (2025) Russ Simmons While mildly interesting, "A Magnificent Life" lacks the passion of any of Pagnol’s classic movies.

2/5
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Russ Simmons If you wind up watching "Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice," you may wish you could go back in time and skip it.

3/5
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) Russ Simmons Terrific performers and solid British production values elevate this WWII era melodrama.

2/5
The Pout-Pout Fish (2026) Russ Simmons Toddlers may smile. Parents may snooze.
Posted Mar 20, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Tow (2025) Russ Simmons While it deals with serious issues, "Tow" takes a lighter tone with its treatment of David vs. Goliath social themes.
Posted Mar 20, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Project Hail Mary (2026) Russ Simmons You can have all the great special effects and cute aliens you can muster, but without the charisma and star power of Ryan Gosling, the sci-fi opus "Project Hail Mary" would drift aimlessly into space.
Posted Mar 20, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
War Machine (2026) Russ Simmons The whole thing is pretty silly and there’s a lot of R-rated carnage. Still, there may be just enough action and mayhem in "War Machine" to appeal to your inner 13-year-old.
Posted Mar 13, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
undertone (2025) Russ Simmons "Undertone" is the very definition of "slow burn"…but in this case it’s too slow. Granted, "Undertone" builds to a creep-inducing climax but takes too long to get there.

3/5
Reminders of Him (2026) Russ Simmons "Reminders of Him" is as predictable, calculated and manipulative as you might expect, but the committed cast is solid. Bring the Kleenex.

1/5
Protector (2025) Russ Simmons Protect your wallet and skip "Protector."

2/5
THE BRIDE! (2026) Russ Simmons Credit the brave, powerhouse performances from Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley, but their efforts are in service of a mismatched conglomeration of ideas that are as patchy as Bale’s stitched-up monster.

4/5
Hoppers (2026) Russ Simmons Excellent animation, sharp voice work and a thoughtful screenplay elevate "Hoppers," which should hop right to the top of the U.S. box office.
Posted Mar 06, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
The Bluff (2026) Russ Simmons "The Bluff" is a violent R-rated thriller that delivers the action but suffers a bit from its sketchy dialogue and bloody, over-the-top mayhem.

2/5
Dreams (2025) Russ Simmons The immigration theme in "Dreams" is top-of-mind, but the movie is undermined by unlikeable characters and…here we go again…some unusually graphic sex scenes.

3/5
Pillion (2025) Russ Simmons For open-minded viewers, the unconventional romance "Pillion" is an empathetic portrait of an unusual relationship.
Posted Feb 27, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Russ Simmons For the uninitiated, "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert" demonstrates why Presley was such a dynamic and popular performer.

4/5
Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) Russ Simmons Interviews with McCartney, his family as well as folks like Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde and Sean Lennon, make "Man on the Run" an enlightening and entertaining overview.

2/5
How to Make a Killing (2026) Russ Simmons It's modestly funny, but the tone shifts in "How to Make a Killing" are so jarring that it may give audiences a case of whiplash.

3/5
GOAT (2026) Russ Simmons "Goat" is a predictable, but family-friendly bit of escapism.

3/5
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Russ Simmons The result is a smart and wildly imaginative film, even if it sometimes struggles with pacing and knowing when to wrap things up.

4/5
Crime 101 (2026) Russ Simmons "Crime 101" is an entertaining action throwback.

2/5
The Wrecking Crew (2026) Russ Simmons The main things wrecked in the Amazon Prime action comedy "The Wrecking Crew" are cars, motorcycles, helicopters, property…and logic.

2/5
Dracula (2025) Russ Simmons "Dracula" doesn’t exactly suck, but it isn’t a full-blooded horror, either.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Solo Mio (2026) Russ Simmons Everything about the script is utterly phony, but the photogenic Italian scenery gives "Solo Mio" a minor boost.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Moment (2026) Russ Simmons "The Moment" is an interesting experiment more than a satisfying movie and features surprisingly little music.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Moses the Black (2026) Russ Simmons "Moses the Black" is bleak, awkward and as subtle as a sledgehammer.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Shelter (2026) Russ Simmons Don't roll your eyes too much while watching "Shelter," or you'll miss some decent stunt work.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
In Cold Light (2025) Russ Simmons "In Cold Light" is a little too cold and a little too calculated.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
H Is for Hawk (2025) Russ Simmons "H is for Hawk" is relatable, thanks to Foy’s performance, but never quite soars.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Mercy (2026) Russ Simmons While it gets a bit goofy and stretches credibility to the limit, "Mercy" gets to its over-the-top climax in an entertaining manner.
