The Shitheads
(2026)
|
Zachary Lee
|
Contrary to its title, 'The Shitheads' has a lot on its mind; very much like its title, it can often get in its own, irreverent way.

The Wrecking Crew
(2026)
|
Julian Roman
|
The Wrecking Crew is a no-holds-barred action comedy that gleefully embraces savage extremes to entertaining effect. Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa are fantastic in a raunchy, bloody, and swift narrative that never takes its foot off the gas.

The "swift justice" promised by its story's judicial system would be best applied by burying the film in the lowest tier of Prime Video.

A Private Life is sophisticated adult cinema for discerning audiences who can appreciate an intricate story with a superb lead. The film has many layers, not all of which are successful, but it is definitely engrossing.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Eric Goldman
|
At one point, a character describes something as being both strange and glorious, which is a pretty apt description of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple itself. It's the best installment in the series so far.

All That's Left of You
(2025)

All That's Left of You is a solemn and heartbreaking journey, but also reveals glimmers of hope with startling acts of kindness in the face of unthinkable loss. Writer, director, and star Cherien Dabis delivers a remarkable story of generational struggle.

Greenland 2: Migration
(2026)

Even if one is inclined to be sympathetic toward a film series that has no right to be as decent as it is, the generic and passably entertaining Greenland 2: Migration ultimately fails to build on the promise of the original.
