The Accountant 2 (2025) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Overcomplicated plotting and a mysterious killer known as Anaïs (Daniuella Pineda) are the overwrought filigree to the film’s real purpose, which is to watch Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal ham it up as odd-couple siblings.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The Final Reckoning adds a valedictory air to all the tense conversations and dazzling mayhem, making sure we know that not only is the fate of the world at stake, but also the fate of the franchise. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Phoenician Scheme (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Genteel thriller The Phoenician Scheme is Wes Anderson’s most single-minded, plot-driven, self-mocking movie in years—a propulsive hoot that inevitably indulges but rarely dwells on precious tangents and eccentric caricatures. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “The best part about watching Eve in face-off after face-off is the messiness. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Unlike many sequels, 28 Years Later brings back the original brain trust: mischievously manic director Danny Boyle, prophetic futurist screenwriter Alex Garland, and digital-video maestro cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The racing scenes are simply sublime and Kosinski is smart enough to make sure most of the movie stays on the race track.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “Dinosaurs attack, humans fight to survive, and audiences will be thrilled and bored in equal measure. Lather, rinse, repeat.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Watching Gunn’s Superman is like picking up this month’s latest issue from your favorite comic book racks: charming, effective, satisfying enough until the next one.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review An Officer and a Spy (2019) 78% 4/5 EDIT “A taut, nuanced and often gripping drama about systemic abuses of power and moral corruption tinged with unspoken shame.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Pain gets inflicted in every direction, especially when we don’t intend it and don’t even understand why. Weapons weaponizes our cultural malaise of zombified helplessness.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Coogler’s movie-making sensibility is creating a body of mainstream work that explores the American black experience with a thrilling, boundary-pushing clarity.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “Dorks turn deadly in The Amateur, a serviceable espionage thriller with an admittedly novel gimmick.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Let’s hope Ayers and Statham find another way to work together that brings back the playful oddness of movies like The Beekeeper.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Black Bag is classic bespoke Soderbergh: elegantly crafted, impeccably tailored, cleverly calculating, with self-aware camerawork, efficient storytelling, and coolly controlled emotions, all set to a funky pulsing retro-infused David Holmes score.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Dying is easy, comedy is hard: that cheeky chestnut encapsulates the strengths and weaknesses of Bong Joon-ho’s joyously silly Mickey 17, a semi-hilarious and half-baked sci-fi satire that delights in debasing human life. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Brave New World succeeds mostly by breaking in Mackie as the new Cap—a very mortal man with tremendous tech and excellent physical training who’s also polylingual and thoughtful enough to ask after people’s relatives.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 5/5 EDIT “The Brutalist is about all those manifestations of legacy: the ways in which the world molds, deforms, and reshapes what we do, who we are, and what we leave behind.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Overwrought and overthought, Robert Eggers’ cerebral creepfest Nosferatu forsakes hair-raising and spine-tingling for carefully curated arthouse-homage spooks.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% 5/5 EDIT “A swoony-sweaty look at the uncertainty of love, Luca Guadagnino’s febrile period piece Queer is a mournful reverie for all the hapless, hopeless, feckless, reckless souls aching to connect. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 3/5 EDIT “This sword-and-sandals epic serves up the same basic outline of the first movie without any of its compelling characters. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A sumptuous, glamorous, bedazzled and ardently faithful spectacular-spectacular.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Blitz (2024) 81% 3/5 EDIT “It’s paint-by-numbers petty behavior punctuated with noble valor: diverting but never really enthralling.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% 5/5 EDIT “A woozy doozy of a genre-busting musical, the bold and breathtaking Emilia Pérez swings for the fences with a lusty bluster. ” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3/5 EDIT “Over three proudly unserious movies, eccentric character actor Hardy has clearly reveled in this bizarre buddy comedy riff on Marvel’s fatuous superhero save-the-universe schtick.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Constructing Smile 2 all around a cracking-under-the-pressure Lady Gaga type who is losing her sense of sanity is a playfully inspired stand-alone sequel idea.” – Book & Film Globe Aug 26, 2025 Full Review
