28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Both Kelson’s storyline and the Jimmys storyline come together in a beautiful way to show an audience how differently people can react to things like a global outbreak.” – The Mary Sue Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 5/5 EDIT “Each song flows so beautifully with the rest of the songs in the piece that you get excited by the newest song presented to you.” – The Mary Sue Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 81% 4/5 EDIT “The film is a fun adventure for Spongebob but what made it something special, to me, was the way that Spongebob’s friendships were explored.” – The Mary Sue Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “The Housemaid is a wild time but well worth the trip to the cinema for.” – The Mary Sue Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “If you go into the Avatar movies only for the beauty of Pandora and not the substance of the story, then you’ll be fine. But it feels like just another “look at this CGI I did” film and not like anything that expands the world of Avatar.” – The Mary Sue Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 5/5 EDIT “I was captivated by him. Often, we see determination as a negative thing. But everyone you know who is famous has that same drive that Marty does.” – The Mary Sue Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Zootopia 2 manages to capture the magic of the first film and give us something more to be excited about within the world and the lore of Zootopia. ” – The Mary Sue Nov 25, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “It is original, fun, and yes, I kind of want to live in the breakfast world even when everything ends up moldy.” – The Mary Sue Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “The saving grace of Wicked: For Good are the songs in Act 2 that already work. “No Good Deed” has always been my stand out and the same goes for Erivo’s version of it. ” – The Mary Sue Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% 3.5/5 EDIT “While Keeper is Perkins’ weakest film yet, it is still a fascinating watch from beginning to end. ” – The Mary Sue Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “A beautiful new kind of romantic comedy.” – The Mary Sue Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 5/5 EDIT “The Running Man harkens back to the Harrison Ford days when you always knew you were in for a good time with one of his action movies. And I’ve missed this kind of action film.” – The Mary Sue Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3.5/5 EDIT “If you love this franchise for the fun magic tricks and the sometimes cheesy jokes, you’re in for a great time and hey, what if we make more of these movies just for fun?” – The Mary Sue Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers (2025) EDIT “Wuornos’ story isn’t easy to watch but Turner did something new with the true crime genre and it is well worth the watch!” – The Mary Sue Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Call me a girl for wanting character arcs and motivations but I do think that Badlands shines because you understand why these Youtjas are all so determined. ” – The Mary Sue Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Visionary and contained, this movie proves why Johnson is a master of this genre and I would watch 200 more of these movies with Daniel Craig at the center of them.” – The Mary Sue Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Biopics aren’t easy but Christy allows its main character to be flawed and real in a way that we haven’t seen a lot of. But it is a hard film to watch.” – The Mary Sue Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% 3/5 EDIT “The romantic moments are sweet, it has its lighter moments, and I am sure if you love Hoover’s novel, you’ll have a wonderful time with Regretting You. ” – The Mary Sue Oct 28, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “It isn’t for the faint of heart and will make you think but it is worthwhile.” – The Mary Sue Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 4/5 EDIT “Go to the cinema for White’s performance and Jeremy Strong having the time of his life but stay for one of the greatest albums ever written. ” – The Mary Sue Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “Blue Moon is up there with some of Linklater’s most beloved film and for good reason.” – The Mary Sue Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “What I loved so much about Hamnet is that Zhao allows us to understand Agnes’ love and pain and while Shakespeare is very much a character within that story, it is Agnes’ to tell.” – The Mary Sue Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “Del Toro’s work understands the deeper themes present in Shelley’s novel and captures the essence of her work in stunning moments, all to remind us how to be human.” – The Mary Sue Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “What makes Black Phone 2 a worthy sequel is that the fear and the hold that the Grabber has over the Blake children is still there, even when he’s not.” – The Mary Sue Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Tatum’s work as Jeffrey is a perfect character study and one made that much better with the scenes between Leigh and Jeff.” – The Mary Sue Oct 7, 2025 Full Review
