Return to Silent Hill (2026) 20% 1/5 EDIT “…Return to Silent Hill is like a bad dream that you can’t wake up from, which oddly enough is what it was probably intended to be….this moth-eaten, video-game cash-in is the lamest kind of cinema imaginable….” – film-authority.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 2/5 EDIT “…there’s obvious reasons why a 63 million dollar movie like Mercy is opening in the January dumpster-fire doldrums..Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson exchange gibberish dialogue, the insight into the use of AI is idiotic, and there’s nothing to recommend…’” – film-authority.com Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “…Is THis Thing On? is an original, often striking character piece from director Bradley Cooper about a man who takes to the stage with gags about his divorce…thought-provoking, enlightening and sometimes achingly funny…” – film-authority.com Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “…The Housemaid's domestic thriller delivers an emotional roller-coaster for sure…a sizable hit for Seyfried and Sweeney, a breakout role for Sklenar and confirmation that director Paul Feig isn’t just about delivering laughs….” – film-authority.com Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Scandal (1989) 91% 5/5 EDIT “…Scandal exposes a world of exploitation and deceit …skillfully played by John Hurt, Stephen Ward’s story is told in a highly sympathetic way in this film, portrayed as much of a victim as the girls he procured…” – film-authority.com Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988) 3/5 EDIT “…a fairly brisk horror comedy that’s a more than passable example of a genre which just doesn’t exist now…a museum piece of some interest, an example of a form of route-one satisfying cinema that’s so far gone it’s as if it never existed” – film-authority.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Tapawingo (2023) 80% 4/5 EDIT “…while it’s not quite the transformative experience of Waltzing With Brando, Tapawingo is still a sharp, funny comedy with lots to recommend it, with Heder in Napoleon Dynamite mode and a standout role for Gina Gershon…” – film-authority.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “…a highly recommendable movie that’s hard to pin down; Sentimental Value is comical, and doesn’t end unhappily, but it’s there’s genuine pain and drama, but played through ordinary conversations between fairly extraordinary people…” – film-authority.com Jan 22, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 2/5 EDIT “…the 28 Days franchise seems to have lost its zombie audience, and that’s a relief; this must be one of the most pretentious, directionless, pointless franchises out there….even the gore-crazy fanboys are largely checked out by now….’” – film-authority.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Downhill (2020) 36% 3/5 EDIT “...playing as an upgrade on American abroad comedy, Downhill offers some laughs that the original doesn’t, a National Lampoon’s Skiing Vacation with trash-talking sexed-up locals, toilet mishaps, and enough low-shots to offer some entertainment value…” – film-authority.com Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Only Two Can Play (1962) 83% 5/5 EDIT “…Only Two Can Play is Sellers at his most subtle, but also at his funniest and most grounded in reality…this is a vibrant picture of class conflict where shots are fired from all sides, from the arts to the power elite…” – film-authority.com Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Saipan (2025) 90% 3/5 EDIT “…an absorbing story of football enmity…unusually for a ‘based on facts’ movie, everyone involved in this story are still alive and litigious, so there’s no big gambles taken…Saipan makes a mountain of semi-comic drama out of a molehill of male agression…’” – film-authority.com Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Sleuth (2007) 37% 4/5 EDIT “…Harold Pinter specialised in dialogue (and silences dripping) with brooding menace, and unlike the rather jolly games of the 1972 film, this Sleuth feels deliberately sour and aggressive….a bracing bit of audience trolling from Pinter…” – film-authority.com Jan 18, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 4/5 EDIT “…The Rip is good enough to make you regret that you can’t see this kind of thing in a cinema anymore; it’s a rough, tough, dramatic action movie that moves with stealth and genuine purpose to a satisfying, fiery finale….” – film-authority.com Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Queen Kelly (1929) 100% 4/5 EDIT “…the first half of what would have been a silent movie up there with Metropolis, Greed or Sunrise. Even half a von Stroheim movie is bigger and better than what most big name directors produce over a career…a blast from a verboten, opulent past…” – film-authority.com Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Complicity (2000) 3/5 EDIT “…while Complicity has some issues, it’s worth seeing an example of what Iain Banks was getting at with this book….what should have been a Scottish American Psycho dusks the hard questions in the text” – film-authority.com Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Stroker Ace (1983) 18% 1/5 EDIT “…even those of us who can find some merit in the most excessively preening, self-regarding films of Burt Reynolds will firmly draw the line at Stroker Ace…there’s a dozen good reasons you can’t see Stroker Ace anywhere….” – film-authority.com Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “…Brendan Fraser has had plenty of ups and down, but audiences have a residual affection for him that gives Rental Family a strong, accessible core; his big, emotive eyes and gentle giant persona have probably never been so effectively used as here…” – film-authority.com Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Being There (1979) 95% 5/5 EDIT “…a final flourish of comic genius from Peter Sellers…still an extraordinary film by Hal Ashby, stripping back layers of modern pretensions and viewing a chaotic world with a child’s innocence and insight…’” – film-authority.com Jan 11, 2026 Full Review La morte negli occhi del gatto (Seven Deaths in the Cat's Eye) (1973) 3/5 EDIT “…get ready for a film so ripe, odd and unusual that it’s a genuinely immersive experience, with dubbed dialogue that astonishes the ear….an Italian-made Scottish set giallo set in the 1890s and starring Serge Gainsbourg as a Scottish detective….” – film-authority.com Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Jamarcus Rose & Da 5 Bullet Holes (2025) 4/5 EDIT “…insightful, thoughtful film about the young, black experience in the USA….the acting feels natural, the cinematography and framing are sharp, and the whole enterprise is rich with intelligence and careful thought…” – film-authority.com Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Body Snatchers (1993) 70% 4/5 EDIT “'...firmly set in the same universe as the first two films...Abel Ferrara's revamped Body Snatchers didn’t make the cultural impact of the other films, but it manages the same trick of using sci-fi to expose cultural raw nerves...'” – film-authority.com Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “…Hamnet is a strong and moving film about how pain infuses the creative process…Buckley gives a career best role as Agnes, with primal screams and a strong sense of a natural woman who feels wronged by the torments that life has in store for her…” – film-authority.com Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Conformist (1970) 98% 5/5 EDIT “…a classic tale of ‘slaughter and melancholy’ that feels more relevant in 2026 than ever…the literal smoke and mirrors look created by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro evokes a huge emotional range of images, from cold and clinical to warm and sensual…” – film-authority.com Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “…a unsparing portrait of a great talent in decline, not a lot of laughs, but made with the skill and empathy which one expects of Richard Linklater, and blessed with a great, scabrous performance from Ethan Hawke….” – film-authority.com Jan 5, 2026 Full Review
