Terminator 2: Judgment Day
(1991)
|
Alex Cole
|
... you can enjoy this film simply for the heartwarming moment where an advanced killing machine falls victim to a high five he just isn’t quick enough to make.

Frankenstein
(2025)
|
Josiah Teal
|
Del Toro’s movies have been "event cinema" since his early days, and Frankenstein is no exception, as he blends the classic monster with classic literature in a way no director could.

All American
(2024)
|
Alton Williams
|
All American is a quiet triumph. It’s about wrestling, yes—but more than that, it’s about the courage to fight for who you are.

Growing Pains
(2024)
|
Josiah Teal
|
Growing Pains, as it stands, has a lot of love poured into it. However, the lack of characterization and forced dialogue make the film difficult to champion, regardless of how much indie films need a champion.

The Long Walk
(2025)
|
Daniel Rester
|
The Long Walk barely misses the mark of being a great film. It is still really good though. Lawrence and Mollner find the power and soul of King’s pages, and Hoffman and Jonsson are sublime in their roles.

Caught Stealing brings joy, thrills, genuine surprises, fantastic performances, and just enough heartbreak. But more than anything else, Caught Stealing is a reminder of how much fun it is going to the movies.

One Battle After Another
(2025)
|
Daniel Rester

One Battle After Another is yet another daring entry in Anderson’s filmography. It gives the audience laughs, thrills, and plenty to chew on as it portrays both ugly and hopeful aspects of American culture both past and present.

Roofman
(2025)
|
Rosalynn Try-Hane

The pacing of Roofman lets it down making it feel a bit biopic by numbers. It needed ruthless editing. There are so many scenes of Jeffrey reaching for a packet of M&Ms whilst hiding out in Toys R Us which we just didn’t need..
