Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “It's a flawless action adventure that leaves its predecessors at the starting gate and reaffirms my belief that in the hands of great men that most entertaining films can also be art.” – New York Daily News Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Truth & Treason (2025) 83% 3/4 EDIT “A sobering, well-made drama that is well worth seeing...” – Observer Nov 21, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “The idea of having New York itself as Oz is truly inspired, and it gives genius designer Tony Walton a chance to pull out the stops.” – New York Daily News Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “With no pace, no plot, no content, and a lot of dizzying special effects that don't mean anything, "Tron" is visible proof that ear-cracking noise and pointless gimmicks do not a movie make.” – New York Daily News Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 75% 2/4 EDIT “The Oscar winner produces and stars in a hackneyed, uninspired dime-a-dozen horror film that wastes her considerable talents on Minnesota mayhem. ” – Observer Sep 29, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 2/4 EDIT “Remakes are odious, even when they’re nothing more than harmless television takeoffs on successful feature films, but The Roses is an especially egregious waste of time and talent because it takes itself so seriously. ” – Observer Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Eden (2024) 58% 1/4 EDIT “No character is developed seriously or deeply enough to reach more than the most superficial surface identity. ” – Observer Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% EDIT “It's both an exciting sci-fi adventure and a sexy love story, and it succeeds happily on both levels.” – New York Post Aug 28, 2025 Full Review My Mother's Wedding (2023) 41% 3/4 EDIT “Considering the rest of the summer’s flotsam, My Mother’s Wedding is hardly a waste of time. In an otherwise grim summer, it goes well with air-conditioning.” – Observer Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Four Letters of Love (2024) 44% 2/4 EDIT “Two hours of titanic tedium in which God's voice appears, but direction does not. ” – Observer Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Explorers (1985) 49% EDIT “It's as devoid of ideas as it is of content.” – New York Post Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Sovereign (2025) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Nick Offerman plays a sovereign citizen in this violent, unsettling thriller about fatherhood, fear and civil collapse. ” – Observer Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% EDIT “My only worry is that so many talented and creative people have done their jobs so well that Superman, which is obviously going to drive kids berserk, might convince a few of the unbalanced and particularly fanciful ones they can honestly fly.” – New York Daily News Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 2/4 EDIT “Despite Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and a genetically modified heart cure, this seventh dinosaur installment proves extinction might be overdue. ” – Observer Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Day of the Dead (1985) 61% EDIT “The zombies are no longer scary. They're Halloween camp.” – New York Post Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Familiar Touch (2024) 98% 4/4 EDIT “'Familiar Touch' is that near-extinct cinematic species: a film about old age that neither wallows in pity nor begs for applause. ” – Observer Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Return to Oz (1985) 59% EDIT “It respects the intelligence of its audience while providing fresh thrills to keep even the most fidgety moppet awake and glued to the screen.” – New York Post Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “I found it absorbing, exciting and original.” – New York Daily News Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Night Moves (1975) 78% EDIT “The complex inter-weaving of action and character development results in a rich fabric of humanity seldom explored in the action-thriller genre.” – New York Daily News May 28, 2025 Full Review Fandango (1985) 70% EDIT “Talk about boring. These are jerks without interest or depth, wafting their way through a screenplay without conflict or purpose.” – New York Post May 19, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 55% EDIT “William Goldman, who usually writes superficial hack screenplays, has even managed to improve Ira Levin's specious, meager little book.” – New York Daily News May 2, 2025 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 55% EDIT “Funny Lady is so warm and funny and gorgeous you forgive it everything, including poetic license.” – New York Daily News Apr 23, 2025 Full Review The President's Wife (2023) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Catherine Deneuve doesn’t just play Bernadette Chirac in 'The President’s Wife'—she rewrites the part history forgot. ” – Observer Apr 16, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Roshan Sethi’s quietly confident film unspools a tender love story between two men—and the generations learning to accept them—with wit, nuance and no interest in cliché.” – Observer Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% EDIT “Brannigan is another dumb John Wayne movie, with John Wayne looking and acting dumber than ever.” – New York Daily News Apr 12, 2025 Full Review
