Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “Continually toys with audience expectation; viewers might initially sympathize with poor Linda’s plight while finding Bradley to be an irredeemable corporate monster, but those initial impressions don’t necessarily last.” – The Film Verdict Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “Purports to be a cautionary tale about putting legal justice into the hands of AI, but the movie’s real agenda is promoting the surveillance state as a way of fighting crime.” – The Film Verdict Jan 21, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% EDIT “DaCosta’s vision includes both hope and horror, the bleakness of solitude and the joy of music.” – The Film Verdict Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 50% EDIT “Seems more interested in contemplating mankind’s destiny than in crafting coherent action sequences. Whether or not that was the intent of director Ric Roman Waugh (Angel Has Fallen) is anyone’s guess.” – The Film Verdict Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% EDIT “Doesn’t necessarily hold up to a lot of scrutiny, but for sheer horror pleasure and monster-movie squirms, this silly monkey movie delivers the goods.” – The Film Verdict Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “Is Song Sung Blue shameless in its assault on audiences’ tear ducts and heart strings? Absolutely. Will those qualities make it a whipping boy for reviews like this one while also turning it into a classic in years to come? It’s entirely possible.” – The Film Verdict Dec 22, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 81% EDIT “SpongeBob SquarePants learns there’s more than derring-do involved in becoming a "big guy," and while that’s a wonderful idea in the era of toxic masculinity, the messaging never overwhelms the wacky comedy.” – The Film Verdict Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “Feig isn’t afraid of glossy camp, and he knows that the old Hollywood masters, George Cukor included, knew how to use camp and excess to uncover truths about human behavior and systemic oppression.” – The Film Verdict Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “As a sizzle reel for the next wave in CG-animation technology, Avatar: Fire and Ash delivers; as the third chapter of a story that is meant to be moving, or even engaging, this latest chapter once again falls short.” – The Film Verdict Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% EDIT “Viewers who aren’t thrilled by recognizing new characters from an old game, and who expect more from a movie than a handful of PG-13 jump scares, are advised to spend their night anywhere that Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 isn’t screening.” – The Film Verdict Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “Finds ways to amuse adults — including a brilliant Stanley Kubrick shout-out — while tickling kids without, miraculously, resorting to fart jokes. ” – The Film Verdict Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Wicked fans can delight in one final visit to Oz, while those of us less enamored can hope that the yellow brick road ends here. For good.” – The Film Verdict Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “For all the targets that director and co-writer Edgar Wright hits with the story’s political and media satire, he allows the pacing to go slack, turning what should feel like an escalating set of stakes into an episodic series of vignettes.” – The Film Verdict Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “Between the wise-cracking sidekick, the adorable non-verbal pet, and the protagonist who undergoes personal growth, Predator: Badlands often resembles the pilot of a vintage Saturday-morning cartoon — but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.” – The Film Verdict Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “A heavy-handed saga burdened with the dogged earnestness that rarely surfaces in the musician’s work but is the cornerstone of the cinematic output of writer-director Scott Cooper.” – The Film Verdict Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “It’s got fresh ideas, bold visuals, and resonant performances, but once it turns the first movie’s chilling villain, the Grabber (played indelibly by Ethan Hawke), into a rehashed Freddy Krueger, the thrill is very much gone.” – The Film Verdict Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Megadoc (2025) 98% 7.1/10 EDIT “Figgis, as a filmmaker himself, is really good at capturing the kaleidoscopic nature of filmmaking.” – Breakfast All Day Oct 8, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “Its main agenda is to be big, loud, fast, and eye-popping, and on that level — and only that level — it’s a complete success.” – The Film Verdict Oct 7, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “Midway through The Smashing Machine, Mark and Dawn argue heatedly, prompting her to yell, “You don’t know a thing about me!” And that line hits hard that far into the movie; I didn’t, in fact, know a single thing about her. Or about him.” – The Film Verdict Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Happyend (2024) 98% EDIT “[W]hat's most important about it … is this insistence that not only can we push back against authoritarianism, but we must push back against authoritarianism. And it provides that message in a sprightly, smart, sharp way.” – Press Play (KCRW) Sep 30, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “And if these ideas sound didactic, the film skillfully weaves them within car chases and satire and love stories, bolstered by searing performances and stunning VistaVision camerawork.” – The Film Verdict Sep 17, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% EDIT “Unpacks a great deal of style to say very little, but style quickly turns grating when there’s no substance to back it up. Beautiful it may be, but Bold? Hardly.” – The Film Verdict Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% EDIT “Basically one giant victory lap that takes the Crawley family and their employees into 1930 and beyond — as Cole Porter once wrote, “it’s fun/it’s fresh/it’s post-/depresh.”” – The Film Verdict Sep 3, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% EDIT “Cue the creepy attics and doom-filled cellars and horrific visions of ax-wielding maniacs, but these haunted-house trappings no longer carry the fright or the fun that the Conjuring movies once reliably provided. ” – The Film Verdict Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% EDIT “In an era when studio product feels focus-group–approved and run through a let’s-not-upset-anyone machine, Aronofsky’s knockabout character study comes off as a bold outlier.” – The Film Verdict Aug 27, 2025 Full Review
