Send Help (2026) Kourtnee Jackson Suspense, horror, wild action and dark humor make this a must-see film.

Casanova (2015) Richard Trenholm While it's intriguing to see what happens when a man who cares only about his own desires gets involved in politics, the story tips into the sordid as Casanova's approach to spying veers uncomfortably close to pimping.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Kourtnee Jackson Trachtenberg delivers a high-energy, underdog story that marries the Predator's brutish ways with a reflective viewpoint, and gives us an ending that's not completely predictable for a sci-fi movie set in this universe. Well done.

TRON: Ares (2025) Aaron Pruner Ares is chock full of jaw-dropping visuals and amazing effects that, for me anyway, made the lack of plot a non-issue.

A+
One Battle After Another (2025) Aaron Pruner One Battle After Another is holding up a mirror to society, and the reflection feels bent and distorted, like something you'd see in a carnival funhouse. That's what makes the movie terrifying; that's what makes it terrific.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Kourtnee Jackson Heavy on the sci-fi and tender family dynamic, the film gives us just a little something different in a genre that coasts on the fate-of-the-world-hinges-on-the-decisions-of-its-heroes trope.

Superman (2025) Aaron Pruner This Superman is wholesome and optimistic and pays homage to the past without repeating it. Gunn truly shocked me with this one and delivered an aspirational superhero movie unlike anything I've seen on the big screen in years.

4/5
Thunderbolts* (2025) Aaron Pruner Thunderbolts offers a breath of fresh air. It's a palate cleanser that reminds audiences that Marvel movies can be fun -- and, dare I say, even funny. It's not envelope-pushing, but it works on multiple levels.

Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984) Amanda Kooser What's fun about "Caravan of Courage" is the opportunity to settle into life on Endor... what's not so great is the pervasive cheesiness, sight gags, slow pacing, stilted acting and silly plot.

B+
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Aaron Pruner The chemistry between the cast, the onslaught of visual gags, Tim Burton's signature world-building and the steady stream of horror humor puts Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in the winner's circle.

Alien: Romulus (2024) Aaron Pruner Alien: Romulus successfully carves its niche into the celebrated franchise. It's a worthy entry that pays homage to the originals; It delivers the terrifying goods and finally brings the creature horror back to outer space.

A
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Aaron Pruner When all is said and done, Deadpool & Wolverine ticks all the boxes a fan could want in a Marvel movie. It's the best installment in the franchise, the best Marvel movie since Avengers: Endgame, and it charts a bold new path for the MCU.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Aaron Pruner It may not be a necessary addition to the franchise, but Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga still rocks. Just nowhere near as hard as Fury Road.

Posted Apr 20, 2023Edit critic review
The Social Network (2010) Jennifer Bisset Equally absorbing are its themes of friendship and loyalty in a playground of petty politics. A superb Jesse Eisenberg as the insensitive, conflicted genius was a revelatory match for Fincher's technical talent.
