2/4
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Kyle Turner The film doesn’t totally succeed in capturing the show’s scope or thematic through line.

2.5/4
Mortal Kombat II (2026) Justin Clark Mortal Kombat II is done waiting around. It’s ravenous to get down to bloody business.

Blue Thunder (1983) Budd Wilkins It’s that rare beast: a rollicking action film with a subversive political agenda.

3/4
Silent Friend (2025) Eli Friedberg Despite loose ends, it’s one of the most dreamily affectionate (and affectionately critical) portrayals of the natural sciences ever committed to the screen.

3/4
Blue Film (2025) Eli Friedberg On the whole, Blue Film’s raw, skin-crawling interrogations of aberrant sexuality and trauma ring fearless and true.

2.5/4
The Python Hunt (2025) Charles Lyons-Burt The at times overbearing aesthetic touch isn’t enough to diminish the film’s saliency.

Black Christmas (1974) Budd Wilkins Based loosely on an urban legend, Black Christmas just may be the perfect antidote to the saccharine sweetness of most Christmastime fare.

Last House on the Left (1972) Chuck Bowen This is horror cinema as punk rock.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Jake Cole The film has the zero-calorie comfort of its predecessor, even if it leaves you feeling hungry half an hour later.

1/4
RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) Ross McIndoe The slower it moves, the more obvious One Spoon of Chocolate’s deficiencies become.

2.5/4
Hokum (2026) Rocco T. Thompson Damian McCarthy threads the needle between supplying old-school scares and a richly layered character piece that also functions as a meditation on his own perspective as a storyteller.

Two Pianos (2025) Chris Barsanti Arnaud Desplechin’s film only flirts with questions about the sacrifices made for art.

Bend of the River (1952) Jake Cole Anthony Mann’s second collaboration with James Stewart begins as a relatively straightforward western through the lens of manifest destiny.

3.5/4
Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) Zach Lewis In beautifully quiet ways, Two Seasons, Two Strangers captures its characters in the realm of the ineffable, making the mundane utterly sublime.

2/4
Power Ballad (2026) Chris Barsanti Like the fraught relationship between its two musician characters, the film never finds the right groove.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Justin Clark Once it turns into a home-invasion thriller, the film becomes more sadistic than hilarious.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Michael (2026) Derek Smith The film turns the realities of a tragic, deeply complicated life into a sanitized popcorn film.

3/4
I Swear (2025) Ross McIndoe Its mix of compassion and clarity allows it to avoid the easy sentimentality of similar tales.
Posted Apr 18, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Fuze (2025) Ross McIndoe The film is much more interested in the logistics of bomb defusal than any of its characters.
Posted Apr 18, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Legend (1985) Rocco T. Thompson It’s the film’s supposed flaws that have made it utterly transportive for those discovering it for the first time, and the film remains an ecstatic fantasy nightmare as only the MTV generation could dream it.
Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Confessions of a Police Captain (1971) Derek Smith Damiano Damiani’s film is a chilling portrait of a society on the brink of destroying itself.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Taylor Williams In lieu of any competently developed drama, we get a blitzkrieg of scares and gooey body horror that can best be described as arbitrary.
Posted Apr 16, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Wasteman (2025) Marshall Shaffer Cal McMau’s Wasteman illustrates why a powerful paradox about prisons makes them such a popular staging ground for psychodramas.

3/4
Normal (2025) Justin Clark Bob Odenkirk, doubling down on the volatility of his performance in Nobody, flits back and forth between taciturn badass and genuinely kind-hearted bear in the blink of an eye.

3/4
Mother Mary (2026) Rocco T. Thompson The film is a boldly theatrical pop exorcism where the wounds of the past serve as a gateway to forces that can consume or lift the possessed to ecstatic new levels of self-expression.

2.5/4
Amrum (2025) Eli Friedberg Fatih Akin’s Amrum is a delicate coming-of-age parable tracking national identity and violence to their most intimate origin points during the waning days of the Third Reich.

3/4
Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo) (2025) Maxwell Rabb Across the film, Joel Alfonso Vargas delivers an intimately observed portrait of Rico and the Bronx’s Dominican community, folding warmth into the very real pressures that define daily life.
Posted Apr 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Tih Minh (1918) Budd Wilkins Louis Feuillade’s Tih-Minh is a narratively sprawling, superbly visualized, and consistently action-packed early example of the spy thriller.

2.5/5
James and the Giant Peach (1996) Chris Cabin Selick’s James and the Giant Peach ultimately deludes its psychological undercurrents by forcing them to the surface.
Posted Apr 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Innerspace (1987) Jake Cole One of the funniest aspects of Innerspace is how elaborately over-plotted it is.

2.5/4
ChaO (2025) Eli Friedberg The narrative is nonsense, but it’s at least an arch and sweet kind of nonsense as it jumps through its fairy-tale hoops on the way to the next splash of artful color and manically doodled creativity.

3/4
Fiume o morte! (2025) William Repass Igor Bezinović plays up the farcical side of history in Fiume o Morte!, his innovative docudrama retelling of Italian fascist poet Gabriele D’Annunzio’s short-lived occupation of Rijeka, Croatia, in 1920.

3.5/5
The Muppet Movie (1979) Jake Cole The egotism of it all should be noxious, but the sheer affability of the Muppets’ brand of comedy wins out; this may be a party for the rich and famous, but you’re invited too.

2/4
Faces of Death (2026) Ross McIndoe This metatextual remake is initially ferocious and purposeful, but it loses its grasp on the original's pointed questions as things wear on.
Posted Apr 06, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
The Christophers (2025) Seth Katz The film brims with hilarious dialogue, lightly satirical observations of a culture that treats art as a commodity, and satisfying payoffs to a number of story elements planted early on.

2.5/4
Mermaid (2025) Maxwell Rabb Ultimately, Mermaid shows how loneliness can un-anchor a person, and it makes you understand how any lost sailor might fall for the first thing, no matter what it is, that breaks it.
Posted Apr 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Soldier (1998) Jake Cole The draw here, as with much of Paul W.S. Anderson’s work, is the intricate production design and how cleanly the director frames it in action sequences.

1.5/4
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Eli Friedberg The film is an unpretentiously vapid cocktail of big-budget technical mastery and lack of artistic ambition.

The Drama (2026) Rocco T. Thompson Kristoffer Borgli delights in creating a hypothetical trap for his lovers, but he also acknowledges that there’s something romantic about being stuck in it together.

3/4
The Stranger (2025) Eli Friedberg François Ozon’s adaptation of Albert Camus’s novel is haunting, transportive, and tragically humanist, a worthy introduction to the text for the skeptical (or a refresher for the lapsed) and a memorably grim drama in its own right.
Posted Mar 29, 2026  Edit critic review
Vampyros Lesbos (1970) Budd Wilkins Jesus Franco’s distaff Dracula riff cheekily upends the conventions of vampire cinema.
Posted Mar 26, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
They Will Kill You (2026) Anzhe Zhang This is a film that’s content to imitate its influences rather than build an identity of its own.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Justin Clark BenDavid Grabinski’s film is less of a crime drama than a punch-drunk comedy of errors.

The Blade (1995) Jake Cole Tsui Hark’s The Blade isn’t so much a revisionist take on a Shaw Brothers wuxia as a distillation of the critiques embedded in the genre’s most popular classics.
