2/10
Mercy (2026) Audrey Fox Mercy is not a good movie, with hackneyed dialogue and stock performances... But worse than that, it's a movie that pushes insidious views about AI, law enforcement, and privacy laws under the guise of a brains-off action thriller.

The Rip (2026) Alistair Ryder Will be lost to the algorithm within weeks, and if it does become a success, it will still be forgotten by all those who watched it. It's never less than watchable, but lacks anything special that could live up to its twisty potential.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Matthew Jackson It's visually stunning, often genuinely frightening, and wonderfully weird while never letting go of the heart that planted "28 Years Later" so deep in our imaginations.

People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Alistair Ryder A shameless copy of "When Harry Met Sally" can't help but carry over some of the charm of its inescapable influence, even if it does attempt to be trendy and oddly aspirational in a way that will initially seem alien to anybody who has seen that movie.

7/10
The Housemaid (2025) Nina Starner Feig's direction also pulls this movie firmly into a campy, fun direction, but he's certainly aided by Seyfried's truly masterful turn as the wide-eyed, twitchy, and seemingly strange Nina.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Alistair Ryder Every scene looks like it cost five times more than it actually did, and yet the sheer visual spectacle looks indistinguishable from either of the movies that came before it.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Audrey Fox Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, and especially Stephen Graham do their level best, but they're let down by a bafflingly inept script and unimaginative filmmaking from Scott Cooper.

Black Phone 2 (2025) Audrey Fox Incredibly well crafted, even as it wears its influences on its sleeve, and it does a solid job of expanding its lore outward while developing its legacy characters (two essential tasks of any burgeoning horror franchise).

3/10
After the Hunt (2025) Audrey Fox This academic drama about the he-said-she-said nature of a campus assault allegation is dull, tedious, messy, and at times even regressive in its politics.

Oh. What. Fun. (2025) Akos Peterbencze Just another Christmas flick with an artificial heart — if it even has one at all.

100 Nights of Hero (2025) Reuben Baron Whatever happened in bringing this story to the big screen, 100 Nights of Hero starts off enjoyable enough in the moment, but by the time it ends, it's easy to feel underwhelmed.

Marty Supreme (2025) Dominic Griffin More than just a vehicle for one of this generation's most vital stars to ball out and push his personal brand. It is one of the most impressive films of the year, an ambitious and exhilarating effort whose biggest sin is fumbling a bit in the finale.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Alistair Ryder It's not perfect, but even the parents dragged along by their kids will be happy to see a third movie — and by modern Disney standards, that is nothing short of miraculous.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Nina Starner Director Ruben Fleischer brings a delightful levity to this already frothy story.

The Running Man (2025) Dominic Griffin In many ways, The Running Man feels like the win Wright and the audience both needed, but the shortcuts it takes to please the crowd hold it back from genuine greatness.

5/10
Die My Love (2025) Reuben Baron Maybe there's something I'm not getting here, but as far as I'm concerned, Die My Love comes alive in individual scenes yet feels stultifying as a whole.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Alistair Ryder Dan Trachtenberg has attained a similar status to Phil Lord and Chris Miller a decade ago, taking pitches that sound disastrous and turning them into non-compromised crowd-pleasers against all the odds.

Shelby Oaks (2023) Reuben Baron Stuckmann may very well have a good future ahead of him as a director, which is a polite way of saying he's not quite there yet with his first feature.

The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Alistair Ryder If, like me in writing this review, you have to think about it for more than a second, it completely falls apart.

Is This Thing On? (2025) Reuben Baron It's never boring, but also never stunning — a success on its own unambitious terms that I nonetheless expect to mostly forget about.

TRON: Ares (2025) Dominic Griffin Ares works best as a rollicking action picture with some strong visuals and incredible soundscapes. It lacks the acting acumen and depth of writing to achieve much more.

Good Boy (2025) Alistair Ryder Pet owners will likely be moved to tears by Good Boy, but not for the reasons they're afraid of.

Anemone (2025) Reuben Baron Even another great Daniel Day-Lewis performance can't push this into something I'd recommend. It's both a bummer and a bore.

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) Alistair Ryder While it doesn't offer anything you haven't seen in a slasher movie before, the pivot to survival thriller mode feels like a breath of fresh air after a tiresome prior instalment with no unique ideas.

Rental Family (2025) Audrey Fox Hikari's Rental Family is an earnest and sentimental exploration of loneliness and the longing for human connection.

Eternity (2025) Audrey Fox Eternity gives us a delightful treat in that it allows Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, and Callum Turner — three excellent actors, but none of whom are particularly well known for their comedic chops — the opportunity to be genuinely funny.

Hamnet (2025) Audrey Fox A thoughtful meditation on love and grief, Hamnet features career-best performances from Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, and is Zhao's most intimate work to date.

5.5/10
HIM (2025) Dominic Griffin Him is a decent time at the movies and possesses an impressive sense of execution. It's just that the vision its putting forth feels like one we've seen a lot of in recent years, and some pretty pictures can't overcome the sense we've been here before.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Reuben Baron Wake Up Dead Man lives up to the standards of quality set by the past two films. In a few ways, it's even better.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Reuben Baron The meta-narrative of where The Smashing Machine fits into Johnson's career is more interesting than the film itself, which I found a bit of a bore.

Frankenstein (2025) Reuben Baron Taken on its own terms, Frankenstein is a compelling, at times moving, and utterly gorgeous epic. As a fan of both Del Toro and Shelley, I can't help but nitpick the details.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Dominic Griffin While the movie does a fine job sending off the Warrens, it lacks some of the charm of its predecessors, and in the end, feels more like a comforting rerun than an exciting new horror effort.

The Long Walk (2025) Alistair Ryder Whether "The Long Walk" will combat King adaptation fatigue is to be seen, but it manages to recapture the intensity and melancholy of the earliest films inspired by his work in a way that few recently have.

Nobody 2 (2025) Alistair Ryder As far as sequels nobody asked for go, "Nobody 2" is in the higher tiers, bringing enough joyously inventive action to the plate that it almost — almost! — makes you overlook how obvious it was the writers didn't know where to take these characters next.

The Pickup (2025) Alistair Ryder The vastly overqualified cast stubbornly refuses to phone it in, with their high-wattage charisma acting as the ultimate special effect; their banter is entertaining enough to help distract from just how cheap everything else onscreen looks.

Together (2025) Reuben Baron Doing double duty as both a romcom and a twisted body horror movie is a tonal challenge that Together pulls off successfully, in large part thanks to how fun it is.

Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Cynthia Vinney "Happy Gilmore 2" is harmless entertainment. It's a pipe dream of a movie, even more so than the first one, with improbable scenes galore.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Dominic Griffin The film is not exactly exemplary or paradigm shifting, but it is entertaining, heartfelt, earnest, and largely unashamed of its comic book origins.

Eddington (2025) Dominic Griffin ...a fascinating film whose high points are sure to grow in the public estimation with the distance of time, but whose murky themes and punishing runtime have more in common with advanced torture tactics than with traditional cinematic expression.

Superman (2025) Reuben Baron Superman is zippy blockbuster fun. But amidst all its cartoon absurdity, it might just inspire people to make a difference in this universe.

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Alistair Ryder Reverting to the simplicity of the original formula doesn't hide the fact that it has long grown stale over decades of poor imitation; it's inescapably derivative of an earlier film you'd rather be watching at any given moment.

F1 The Movie (2025) Dominic Griffin Yet at the end of the day, the roar of the engines is loud enough to drown out any meaningful discussions about the intersection of commerce and art. For a movie about cars racing fast, it delivers.

M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Reuben Baron If the first M3GAN was a "Don't Create The Torment Nexus" tale, its sequel is Torment Nexus propaganda.

Materialists (2025) Reuben Baron Materialists never reaches the passion and beauty of Song's debut romantic feature Past Lives, but it's at its most interesting and insightful when it isn't even trying to.

Ballerina (2025) Dominic Griffin While this one is the first canon spin-off and not just another convenient doppelgänger, it does rely more heavily on the presence of Keanu Reeves' iconic boogeyman than the trailers might suggest.

Karate Kid: Legends (2025) Alistair Ryder The returning characters are such an irrelevance that their presence feels like a Sony executive had the misguided idea to force this movie into being a karate "Spider-Man: No Way Home" at the very last minute.
