Train Dreams (2025) Mark Hughes [T]his heartbreaking and inspiring Oscar contender conveys more than most other contenders by saying less and feeling more.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Mark Hughes [It] will thrill fans and seems destined for greater box office success than the first film...

The Running Man (2025) Mark Hughes [A] rousing call for courage, moral clarity, and action in the face of threats not only to our freedoms and society, but to our very humanity itself. It’s the sort of studio picture you rarely expect, and even more rarely get.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Mark Hughes [T]ells us the final hour of civilization will be confusing, clouded by emotion and fear... Which is precisely why the choices are all conveniently figured out beforehand. The trouble is, all of those choices are in a Black Book of nuclear launch orders.

Dracula (1979) Luke Y. Thompson As in most movies, it’s the Dracula actor who steals the show, and Langella has the requisite magnetic intensity.

Roofman (2025) Mark Hughes [A] tale that would seem unbelievable if you wrote it as an original fictional story. It’s a testament to how often life is strange than fiction, and why those are some of the best and most important stories to tell.

One Battle After Another (2025) Mark Hughes Sometimes good people do bad things, and sometimes bad people do good things, but they are still either a good person or a bad person... The film’s question to us is, which one are you? Which one do you want to be? And what are you willing to do about it?

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Simon Thompson This could be the best-looking 'The Conjuring' film since the very first one, and the Devil really is in the details.

4/5
The Roses (2025) Simon Thompson With solid lead performances that make the sometimes barbed, often heartfelt and tender comedy and drama pop, and a stacked ensemble that only enhances what's already on the table, The Roses is a raw riot.

Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022) Jeff Ewing Huesera is an adeptly made film backed by a wonderful central peformance. It really pulls the viewer in and lands shocking imagery in its conclusion... Huesara is absolutely worth watching with a stunner of an ending.

Weapons (2025) Erik Kain I’m so used to formulaic slop, and not just in the horror genre. This felt new. Cregger’s nonlinear, Rashomon-style storytelling helps the various characters and their stories unfold into something truly remarkable.
Posted Aug 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Hellcat (2025) Scott Phillips the film is a cinematic teeter-totter. Just as you’re certain you know what’s going on, it swings in a different direction. It zigs when you expect a zag. Hellcat deserves to find its audience. I look forward to Bodell’s next film.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Noise (2024) Scott Phillips the screenplay finds new ways to toggle ... between Is it supernatural? and Is there a simple explanation? For every character who’s a Mulder, there’s a character who’s a Scully. Unlike so many horror films, I found the conclusion to be very satisfying.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Stuntman (2024) Scott Phillips I love movies about making movies, and Stuntman is a great addition to the genre.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Wailing (2024) Scott Phillips I hate the term “elevated horror”. It implies horror films can’t reach the heights of non-genre cinema. I prefer to consider The Wailing a piece of “ambitious horror”. Label it as you wish. It may be the best horror film of the year (in any language).
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Forbidden City (2025) Scott Phillips Mainetti’s films have an epic scale and grandeur that belie their very reasonable budgets. Be sure to see this one on the big screen if it plays an arthouse near you.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Fragment (2024) Scott Phillips ... a poignant look at guilt, shame and redemption.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Sham (2025) Scott Phillips Sham is a masterful combination of insightful screenwriting, compelling performances and unintrusive direction.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
She Taught Me Serendipity (2024) Scott Phillips She Taught Me Serendipity is just the kind of little gem you hope to find at a festival like Japan Cuts.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Serpent's Path (2024) Scott Phillips Serpent’s Path (2024) is a compelling, astute crime film.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
My Sunshine (2024) Scott Phillips What follows is (thankfully) less about sports and more a beautiful coming of age story about finding your purpose in life.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Cloud (2024) Scott Phillips Kurosawa can be a merry prankster in the midst of the mayhem, and Cloud has him at the peak of his powers.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Erik Kain Fantastic Four: First Steps may be one of the best MCU films we’ve seen over the past few years, but this says more about the low bar Marvel and Disney have set than it does about the quality of this movie.
Posted Jul 26, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Mark Hughes [G]orgeous and thrilling, among the best-looking Marvel releases... the best MCU movie in years.
Posted Jul 26, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Simon Thompson Rather than plodding towards a destination, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has a real sense of purpose and forward motion, carried along by its own momentum rather than needing to be pushed.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Eddington (2025) Scott Phillips I ... found the film to be a compelling, insightful and frequently hilarious look at how our country has lost its collective mind over the past six years.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Erik Kain Between the overwritten plot, the sprawling cast, the neat-and-tidy resolution to the conflict and the glaring visuals, this is a Superman reboot that screams generic superhero movie at the top of its lungs.
Posted Jul 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Scott Phillips This Superman brings back the colorful visuals, the humor, the clever quips in the midst of battle, the lightheartedness of the vintage comics.
Posted Jul 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Count of Monte Cristo (2024) Scott Phillips The entire film is grand without being pretentious. It preserves a story that's over eighty years old yet makes it as absorbing as any modern screenplay.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
DJ Ahmet (2025) Scott Phillips The young cast is so charming and the setting is so singularly interesting, that it makes old (and possibly tired) themes feel new again.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Sorry, Baby (2025) Scott Phillips Eva Victor's screenplay is an understated marvel as is the production as a whole. She is at the top of my list of filmmakers to keep an eye on.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Omaha (2025) Scott Phillips The ending is a punch to the gut ... Powerful film-making.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
The Things You Kill (2025) Scott Phillips The Things You Kill is a fabulously layered piece of work that serves as a family drama, a crime film and a sociological study all rolled into one.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Predators (2025) Scott Phillips ... expect this documentary to have legs when awards season rolls around in the fall.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Scott Phillips This is powerful, compelling filmmaking that doesn't lose the human cost in the true crime trappings of it all.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Wolf Man (2025) Scott Phillips ... the characters suffer from the horror film syndrome of making one idiotic decision after another because what's the film requires to send the action in its intended direction.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
The Monkey (2025) Scott Phillips The Monkey is a master class in tone. Osgood Perkins’ ably demonstrates that violence, gore and big laughs can exist simultaneously on screen.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
A Mother's Embrace (2024) Scott Phillips Points to writer-director Cristian Ponce for taking a familiar premise into new and interesting territory. Horror fans don’t want to miss this one.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Restless (2024) Scott Phillips It has a lot to say about the toxic times we live in where it’s so much easier to simply be rude than take a genuine interest in someone else’s welfare.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Four Mothers (2024) Scott Phillips When the credits rolled, I wanted to spend more time with these characters, and that’s about the highest compliment I can give.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Materialists (2025) Scott Phillips The secret weapon in Song’s films is her astute screenplays. The phrase “well-observed” gets thrown around in film reviews all the time, but in this instance it very much applies.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
F1 The Movie (2025) Scott Phillips Pitt is so damn likable as a performer that you forgive F1: The Movie its excesses, obviousness and repetition.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
The Rose: Come Back to Me (2025) Laura Sirikul The film is a fun watch for everyone, even if you haven't heard of the band. It will recruit some new fans, not only because their story is so touching, but their music is excellent too.
Posted Jun 18, 2025  Edit critic review
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Erik Kain Funny, heartfelt, a sight to behold, and faithful to the source material, How To Train Your Dragon is everything I hoped it would be.
Posted Jun 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Erik Kain Somewhere, buried beneath all this plot, is an interesting movie struggling to breathe.
Posted Feb 14, 2025  Edit critic review
The Substance (2024) Erik Kain Ultimately, while The Substance got off to an intriguing start, the majority of the film and especially its goofy ending was mostly cheap shock value and amateurish satire built on the flimsiest premise imaginable.
Posted Jan 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Nosferatu (2024) Erik Kain Nosferatu is an elegantly macabre masterpiece that pulls all the right levers of horror and period drama, a throwback to an older era of cinema with just enough modern sensibilities, body horror and sex to make it as provocative as it is unsettling.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) Mark Hughes [It] lets Carrey be Carrey in all the best ways, and he delights by seeming to be having as much fun doing it as we’re having watching it. It lets us escape entirely for 109 minutes, and laugh the whole time.
Posted Dec 18, 2024  Edit critic review
Wicked (2024) Erik Kain Wicked is a stunning success in just about every way, from its stellar performances to its sound design and special effects, to its inventive sets and costumes and ability to capture what made the Broadway musical so special in the first place.
Posted Nov 25, 2024  Edit critic review
Caddo Lake (2024) Paul Tassi Caddo Lake is an excellent genre-bender where its direction is almost impossible to predict. And once it reveals its true nature, it only gets more interesting from there.
