Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “Just like all the generational films often do, Marty Supreme leaves you ready to run through a wall and leave it all on the court.” – For the Win at USA Today Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Avatar: Fire and Ash plays like the kind of delightfully and aggressively indulgent spectacle Hollywood only reserves for the titans of yesteryear.” – For the Win at USA Today Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% EDIT “If you love movies, you must seek Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair out while it's playing near you. It's why we go to the movies in general.” – For the Win at USA Today Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “It's violent, unsettling, impossible to predict and downright jubilant in its desire to please.” – For the Win at USA Today Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 73% EDIT “It's funny. It's got a good heart. It's just reverential enough without beating you over the head with callbacks to the original. ” – For the Win at USA Today Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) 62% EDIT “The world is a better place when [Adam] Sandler is making comedies like this. Hubie Halloween felt like a nice change of pace, and Happy Gilmore 2 feels like the grand return to that high-wire fire hydrant style of Sandler funny business.” – For the Win at USA Today Jul 26, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “It's sleek, sturdy and sentimental, but it drives with a strict governor that prohibits it from ever being more than just satisfactory. ” – For the Win at USA Today Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “Superman is a vibrant, heartfelt joy ride with real teeth. [Gunn] found a way to highlight the character's good heart and civic duty while staying true to his kaleidoscopic wackadoodle comic energy.” – For the Win at USA Today Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “After Jurassic World: Dominion maxed out whatever legacy sequel juice was left in Spielberg's original masterwork, Jurassic World Rebirth plays like a refreshing purification exercise.” – For the Win at USA Today Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Beau Is Afraid (2023) 67% EDIT “Beau is Afraid is, without question, one of the best movies ever made about mental health. Hell, it might just be one of the best movies ever made.” – 615 Film Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Titanic (1997) 88% EDIT “Those shots of the boat sinking — the grand terror of it all — goodness gracious, man…the swooning, doomed romance…Garber by the clock…Leo the damn movie star…cinema! Cinema, I say! Cinema!” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Knock at the Cabin (2023) 67% EDIT “The world is a better place when Shyamalan just goes out there with a concept like this and does the damn thing.” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Your Place or Mine (2023) 31% EDIT “I’m a little concerned Your Place or Mine might be the first movie ever written by ChatGPT.” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% EDIT “It feels like Marvel is starting to spin its wheels a bit, with this Ant-Man movie a weird blend of refried Guardians of the Galaxy and a far-less interesting extension of what Loki was doing with all the multiverse hubbub.” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review A Man Called Otto (2022) 70% EDIT “It’s the kind of schmaltzy, big performance studio drama that used to get a billion Oscar nominations, and darn it, I kind of miss those being in vogue.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Plane (2023) 78% EDIT “This one is more solid than you’d expect it to be, refreshingly straightforward and knowing in what its job is and how to execute it without much fuss.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Missing (2023) 89% EDIT “Missing is an absolute blast. Such a smart way to play the true crime game while cutting the culture around it to pieces. ” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review You People (2023) 39% EDIT “Kenya Barris isn’t a bad director by any stretch, but just imagine what this could’ve been with a better script. It's good for what it is, even if the potential was tantalizing. We only get so many Eddie Murphy vehicles, so you take what you can get.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review When You Finish Saving the World (2022) 62% EDIT “It’s a solid first feature, brimming with ideas but not always able to communicate those clearly. Still, I admire the hustle.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Polite Society (2023) 91% EDIT “Nida Manzoor is going to be a rockstar.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Little Richard: I Am Everything (2023) 94% EDIT “In 90 minutes, you get what you need, but a legend like this deserves a lot more. All music icons get the solid, standard doc treatment, though.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Landscape with Invisible Hand (2023) 72% EDIT “Cory Finley takes a gigantic swing here, and I so appreciated the gusto to make this one. It’s a very strange sci-fi romance with tinges of comedy and melancholy strewn about.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review King Coal (2023) 89% EDIT “I really appreciated the thesis in this one, that coal is so ingrained in Appalachia’s culture that it’s going to be near impossible to pry it away from the hills.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review The Persian Version (2023) 84% EDIT “I wish we could get more mainstream movies like this, ones without big names in the cast but a lot on the mind and in the heart.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Victim/Suspect (2023) 79% EDIT “A very solid, depressing piece of accessible documentary journalism about a very troubling trend.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review
