3.5/4
Wicker (2026) Johnny Oleksinski Quite like her Oscar-winning performance in “The Favorite,” Colman, who’s never afraid to act ridiculous, is untethered and batty until things get real. Or, as real as things can get when one’s hubby is an oversize vessel for potpurri.

The Invite (2026) Johnny Oleksinski A sophisticated, snappy, seductive and stupendously funny film about a long-married couple who are in way over their heads.

Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) Johnny Oleksinski Even exhausted and with extensive bodily harm, the 78-year-old author, who was in attendance at the premiere, ardently believed his traumatic ordeal must be filmed.

North (1994) Michael Medved It wouldn't matter that none of this makes sense if Reiner's vision turned out to be entertainingly bizarre, but it's not; it is, rather, indescribably flat (and flatulent).

2.5/4
I Want Your Sex (2026) Johnny Oleksinski It’s too peculiar and uninhibited for most audiences. If you couldn’t handle “Babygirl,” this will make you hurl your TV out the window. But this is the size and type of role Hoffman should regularly be playing -- minus the ball gag and pink bra.

2.5/4
Buddy (2026) Johnny Oleksinski The first 20 minutes were side-splittingly funny and bitingly observed... Then a more ambitious story involving parents in the outside world, played by Cristin Milioti and Topher Grace, takes over, and the movie struggles to match its rocket-fuel kickoff.

1/4
Carousel (2026) Johnny Oleksinski One of those tundra, dimly lit living-room movies that snobs defend as closer to “real life.” Real life isn’t romantic. Real life isn’t exciting. Real life isn’t witty. Real life isn’t colorful. Real life doesn’t get better. And on and on.

3.5/4
Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) Johnny Oleksinski Ha-chan, Shake Your Booty!, a delirious gem... has got it all: big laughs, poignancy, a tear or two, Dirty Dancing homages and some truly out-there twists.

2/4
The Moment (2026) Johnny Oleksinski If you like Charli xcx’s songs and find her to be a unique and uncompromising presence... you’ll appreciate moments of “The Moment.” But that’s it. This is not a fully formed movie. At best, it’s a moderately intriguing pitch.

The American President (1995) Michael Medved Despite moments of humor and charm, The American President proves that filmmaker Rob Reiner knows a good deal more about romance than he does about politics.

3.5/4
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Johnny Oleksinski DaCosta’s got a real knack for fear, having done a bang-up job bringing “Candyman” into the 21st Century back in 2021. She doesn’t conceal much with her gorgeous and unsparing direction as she makes us wince and “Oh. My. God” over and over.

1.5/4
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Johnny Oleksinski The inferior second part, short but not nearly short enough, proves just how ill-prepared its creators were for the original’s success.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
The Princess Bride (1987) Jami Bernard Every scene and nearly every sentence twists away into an unexpected direction as the characters make their way from the Cliffs of Insanity to the Pit of Despair. The Princess Bride is sheer entertainment.

3/4
Anaconda (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Beyond that core scenario and a couple in-jokes, director and co-writer Tom Gormican’s movie does not send up or satirize showbiz whatsoever.

2/4
The Housemaid (2025) Johnny Oleksinski There’s gore and mutilation, plus a meh-stery Scooby-Doo explanation of the situation that comes together in flashbacks. You’re basically at remedial “Gone Girl.”

3.5/4
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Johnny Oleksinski [The] series, maintained with exceptional attention to detail by Cameron, remains a gargantuan spectacle unmatched by anything else in Hollywood. More than once during its 195-minute runtime, I shook my head and laughed. How the hell did they do that?

Ella McCay (2025) Johnny Oleksinski This sloppy slog is terrible; short, but interminable.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
True Lies (1994) Michael Medved The entire middle section of the movie begins to sag, but it is bracketed by extended action sequences so brilliantly and breathlessly staged that most moviegoers will happily forgive and forget this film's slower moments.

4/4
Marty Supreme (2025) Johnny Oleksinski It makes you laugh hard and often, and even blush a bit. There’s ample heart and passion in Marty’s messy race to the top.

Eternity (2025) Johnny Oleksinski It’s Olsen’s emotional frailty that helps pump up a bad movie into a mediocre one.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Johnny Oleksinski It’s more along the lines of a perfectly enjoyable TV police procedural; the season finale of “Claw and Order.

Rental Family (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Ultimately "Rental Family" doesn't aspire to be much more than genial, lovable and small. But not everything needs to be a whale.

3/4
Wicked: For Good (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Director Jon M. Chu shoots it with tender simplicity and just lets the pair connect and feel. He wisely shows much more restraint in Part Two.

1.5/4
The Running Man (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Where is Wright’s mastery of tone and zany-but-unnerving quick-cut style? It’s been replaced by a cacophony of assembly-line sci-fi noise in a blah “Blade Runner” that, depending on the scene, is either stupidly serious or seriously stupid.

2/4
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Johnny Oleksinski “Dynamite” is an overcooked casserole of lofty “ifs”.

Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Johnny Oleksinski I liked it well enough. But in this gifted filmmaker’s oeuvre, his latest is a small player, indeed.

Blue Moon (2025) Johnny Oleksinski For Broadway buffs and lovers of old New York, the witty, hilarious and haunting movie starring a totally transformed Ethan Hawke as musical-theater lyricist Lorenz Hart will have them utterly bewitched.

TRON: Ares (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Forty-three years later, “Tron: Ares” is groundbreaking for being the first “Tron” film with a discernible plot.

Bugonia (2025) Johnny Oleksinski A zany, comic, icky, smelly thriller about the deadly cocktail of loneliness and web browsing.

Tron (1982) Archer Winsten To put it bluntly -- and entirely outside the familiar realm of movie entertainment -- this is Something Else.

Anemone (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Not so much a movie as it is a series of loosely related, hot-glued traumatic memories.

It Was Just an Accident (2025) Johnny Oleksinski All the way through, Panahi delivers on its fireworks promise with a plot that, while deceptively simple, is alive with moral complexity.

Casper (1995) Michael Medved "Casper" isn't the worst movie ever associated with the Spielberg name,...but it is easily the dullest, despite attempts by the screenwriters...to fill up the emptiness with a frenetic and absurdly convoluted plot.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Deliver Me From Nowhere the enlightening and entertaining movie starring Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen, is, by contrast, all raw emotion.

Hard Times (1975) Frank Rich Screenwriter Walter Hill... has made an enviable directorial debut and given Charles Bronson the best starring vehicle he's ever had.

Hard Eight (1996) Michael Medved On his first roll of the directorial dice, young Anderson may not break the bank, but he still beats the odds by coming out substantially ahead.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Johnny Oleksinski In the pantheon of films about magical cars, this one is not big, bold or beautiful.

One Battle After Another (2025) Johnny Oleksinski “Battle” is simultaneously a marathon and a sprint. At the end I wasn’t tired -- I was out of breath.

2.5/4
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Narrowly won me over, though. Perhaps that’s because from the off, it feels like the final episode of a TV series that’s past its prime. Even if your favorite characters have seen better days, you’re still sad they’re hitting the road.

Hamnet (2025) Johnny Oleksinski It’s Buckley who’s giving one of those rare turns that simply beggars belief. She swings back and forth from cast iron to porcelain. The actress is thunderous, playful, grounded and ethereal.

2/4
The Smashing Machine (2025) Johnny Oleksinski The very believable winding back of the clock to when MMA wasn’t nearly as huge as it is now allows Johnson, one of the world’s most famous men, to disappear enough that we mostly forget it’s The Rock up there.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Johnny Oleksinski There is an indescribable magic in watching the star conjure a crowd’s hysteria. And because the video is so crystal clear and crisp, his aura bursts through the screen as if it’s a window.

2.5/4
The Lost Bus (2025) Johnny Oleksinski What keeps “The Lost Bus” from going full PlayStation is a pulsing performance from McConaughey as a flawed dad desperately trying to reach his ill son.

Christy (2025) Johnny Oleksinski Sweeney, though, is a knockout. And “Christy” is a major step to showing there’s much more to her than rom and com.

Sentimental Value (2025) Johnny Oleksinski However well acted, or not, it’s hard to see yourself in any of these fiscally unencumbered, cagey artists.
