Challengers (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “"While Challengers has a few hiccups, the film serves and is one of the best, movies I’ve seen in 2024. Not only does it highlight the talented powerhouse that is Zendaya, but its story will keep you hooked."” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Apr 18, 2024 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Here is a film that proves that superhero fatigue hasn’t won just yet. It just takes a fresh and exciting film like this to get us all hooked again.” – The Digital Fix Nov 9, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist: Believer (2023) 22% 2/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, all our collective demon-filled fears have come to a reality with The Exorcist: Believer – a lackluster “new chapter” that fundamentally misunderstands this iconic franchise.” – The Digital Fix Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Pinocchio is truly a marvel and easily one of del Toro's best movies to date. It will make you laugh, cry, sing, and then cry again.” – The Digital Fix Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Barbarian (2022) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Barbarian is a flick that shines with potential and still manages to stand as a worthy watch for any fan of the horror genre.” – The Digital Fix Sep 25, 2023 Full Review The Nun II (2023) 51% 2/5 EDIT “The Nun 2 is a massive improvement from its 2018 predecessor but is ultimately hampered by its script and abundance of cheap scares. Valak’s role in the IP is still as confused as ever.” – The Digital Fix Sep 7, 2023 Full Review See How They Run (2022) 75% 3/5 EDIT “A light-hearted watch packed with charm and a stacked talented cast, we can forgive most of its mistakes because, yes, it is just that delightful.” – The Digital Fix Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Beast (2022) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Beast is filled with appreciation for South Africa and plenty of fun action scenes, but its script stops it from reaching its true potential.” – The Digital Fix Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Orphan: First Kill (2022) 69% 2/5 EDIT “While watching Orphan: First Kill, you can't help but feel as if it's being strangled by its own reverence to the original movie. From the 2000s reminiscent cinematography that replicates the cold tones of the 2009 film, to the step-by-step script.” – The Digital Fix Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 52% 4/5 EDIT “And let's just say with all these stunts, gore and adrenaline-inducing sequences, it is hard to be bored.” – The Digital Fix Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Meg 2: The Trench (2023) 27% 2/5 EDIT “All the moments to love in the Meg 2 were done before and done better in The Meg.” – The Digital Fix Aug 4, 2023 Full Review The Black Phone (2021) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Derrickson has succeeded in making a film that is definitely worth any horror fan's time. Is it a new classic? No, but by hell, it is one fun ride.” – The Digital Fix Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Written by Trevorrow and Emily Carmichael, Jurassic World's narrative is an oddball situation, and almost feels as if two films have been haphazardly mashed together. ” – The Digital Fix Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Elvis (2022) 77% 3/5 EDIT “There is no doubt in my mind that Elvis is a fine tribute that many fans won't regret watching, but it just gets in its own way and doesn't manage to stand as an exceptional one.” – The Digital Fix Jul 31, 2023 Full Review The Bob's Burgers Movie (2022) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Whether you have seen all the episodes of Bob’s Burgers or none, there is no denying the absolute wholesomeness that watching this movie will impart on your soul.” – The Digital Fix Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Everything Everywhere All at Once will remind you of why you love cinema. It is fresh, creative, and will leave you laughing and shedding some tears.” – The Digital Fix Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) 69% 4/5 EDIT “Charmingly referencing several videogames in the series, while also delivering on laughs, and a wholesome story, here is a kids movie that is everything I expected in the best possible and predictable way.” – The Digital Fix Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Cyrano (2021) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Wright has proven once again that if you need a historical romance or a period drama fantasy, he is your guy.” – The Digital Fix Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Uncharted (2022) 41% 2/5 EDIT “With a predictable plot, rudimentary puzzles, and strawman characters, Uncharted never manages to find its narrative bearings.” – The Digital Fix Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Chastain manages to capture the perfect balance of strength and vulnerability as she portrays Tammy fighting to achieve her dreams and smiling through the judgments of society who criticize her age, gender, and sex life.” – The Digital Fix Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Scream (2022) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Long story short, it does feel as if it has all been done before and that the promising new directors are still trying to find their footing in filling in Craven’s massive shoes. But it’s hard to keep a self-aware slasher down on the entertainment front.” – The Digital Fix Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Memoria (2021) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Weerasethakul expertly manipulates our auditory senses to make us feel fear, peace, and anxiety as we watch his feature.” – The Digital Fix Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Advent Calendar (2020) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Holiday horror isn't easy to come by, and The Advent Calendar may feel slow in places but will never leave you feeling bored.” – The Digital Fix Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Encanto (2021) 92% 3/5 EDIT “A heartfelt watch that families will undoubtedly latch onto.” – The Digital Fix Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% 3/5 EDIT “There are plenty of good ideas here, singular moments to love and appreciate. But at the end of the day, the writing for Eternals trips itself up.” – The Digital Fix Jul 25, 2023 Full Review
