The Rip (2026) 80% B EDIT “‘The Rip’ is an action-thriller worth seeing.” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 25, 2026 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% A EDIT “This film is stunning, an amazing achievement.” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% A EDIT “Formulaic to the max, 'Superman' still exudes awesome fun and excitement to both old and young fans. ” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 16, 2026 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% D EDIT “If 'After the Hunt' was trying to be different, it succeeded. That is not a compliment. ” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 11, 2026 Full Review The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) 28% B- EDIT “The first half tends to drag, while the payoff conclusion seems rushed and predictable. Still, 'The Woman in Cabin 10' has its moments—nail biting as they are. ” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 3, 2026 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% B+ EDIT “The title and overall concept smacks of Hulu’s ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ but ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ has a unique spin that makes it well worth watching.” – Crum on Showbiz Sep 29, 2025 Full Review The End (2024) 56% C- EDIT “If Tilda Swinton speaking a sorrowful lyric like ‘each day is like the last’ entertains you, ‘The End’ might be your tea cup.” – Crum on Showbiz Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Look Into My Eyes (2024) 91% A- EDIT “Director Lana Wilson captures the isolationism of the psyche as it plays out in Hannah Buck’s spot on editing. The film is reminiscent of the style of documentarian Frederick Wiseman, and that is great praise. ” – Crum on Showbiz Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% A EDIT “Up to and particularly including the last 30 minutes of this 139-minute gem of originality, I had zero idea where the story was going. ” – Crum on Showbiz Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% B EDIT “Angelina Jolie shines as Callas, not only in terms of acting but expertly lip synching to the diva’s original recordings. ” – Crum on Showbiz Feb 23, 2025 Full Review The Piano Lesson (2024) 88% C EDIT “As effective as the chills are, they seem trite to advance the story. And the story’s finality is a sugar-coated letdown” – Crum on Showbiz Feb 17, 2025 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% B- EDIT “A foreboding horror movie co-directed and written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. The duo have restructured the standard haunted house formula with the violence of ‘Saw.’ Then add a huge dose of faith elements. ” – Crum on Showbiz Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% A- EDIT “‘Sing Sing’ is sensitive without being saccharine—sometimes elating, sometimes tearful. It deserves accolades. ” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% B- EDIT “We have what we have now, and are excited to lower the musical bar and jump to a standing ovation. There is still much to like about ‘Wicked.’ The music is passable, but the visuals are awesome. ” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% B+ EDIT “Maybe labeling ‘Civil War’ a dystopian horror story is more apt.” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% A EDIT “Its 132-minutes weave from gangster drama and violence to love story to song and dance sequences. The blend may be jaw dropping, but it all seems right. ” – Crum on Showbiz Dec 31, 2024 Full Review Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024) 51% C+ EDIT “To be fair, it is difficult to judge the film since it is only 1/4 of the whole story.” – Crum on Showbiz Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Rebel Ridge (2024) 95% A- EDIT “Calling Terry Richmond a thinking man’s John Rambo is apt.” – Crum on Showbiz Nov 14, 2024 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% A EDIT “It is a harrowing experience realized through a brilliant motion picture.” – Crum on Showbiz Mar 24, 2024 Full Review Damsel (2024) 56% B+ EDIT “A showcase of spectacle and heroic adventure.” – Crum on Showbiz Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Rustin (2023) 83% A EDIT “It is an awesome motion picture recreating an awesome time in our nation. ” – Crum on Showbiz Mar 10, 2024 Full Review American Fiction (2023) 93% A EDIT “It evolves into an unexpected tale of story-within-a-story, which will have viewers pondering and wowing at film’s end. ” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Leave the World Behind (2023) 73% B+ EDIT “Director/Writer Esmail has fashioned an end-of-the-world storyline that keeps pounding our fears throughout its 140 minutes.” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 28, 2024 Full Review Maestro (2023) 78% A- EDIT “So wonderful is the performance of Bradley Cooper as composer-conductor Leonard Bernstein. It is a film well worth seeing for its acting, direction and (not surprisingly) music.” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 18, 2024 Full Review The Equalizer 3 (2023) 76% B+ EDIT “The production looks good with spot-on cinematography by Robert Richardson, and an effective heartbeat score by Marcelo Zarvos. ” – Crum on Showbiz Jan 16, 2024 Full Review
