Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “Marty Supreme is more Raging Bull than Rocky, tracing the rising and falling fortunes of a gifted but horrible human being. ” – Blunt Magazine Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “After decades of every dystopian movie trying to look like Blade Runner or Mad Max, it’s almost refreshing to see one that looks like nothing at all.” – Blunt Magazine Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “What unfolds is a kind of sci-fi wilderness adventure, with the pair (plus a cute little CGI critter dubbed Bud, who manages to be charming rather than grating) learning to trust each other.” – Blunt Magazine Nov 10, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “The actual plot here is a war between rival CEOs, which should really play well in the current climate, along with "doing a collab with Tesla's Optimus" and "casting Jared Leto". ” – Blunt Magazine Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “There’s nothing wrong with playing to the tropes if the tropes pay off, and Derrickson gets a lot of moody atmosphere out of the film’s wintry setting” – Blunt Magazine Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “You can't fault the ambition, but this is a failed experiment.” – Blunt Magazine Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% EDIT “Spinal Tap's secret sauce has always been that the songs, though daft, are actually good.” – Blunt Magazine Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “It's an ingenious little clockwork marvel of a film.” – Blunt Magazine Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “The Smashing Machine is not much of a movie. It’s not even much of a marketing campaign for Johnson’s acting abilities, which seems to be the point of the exercise.” – Blunt Magazine Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “It's impossible to see its depiction of a nation in the grips of a cult of personality turned death cult and not hear "MAGA!"” – Blunt Magazine Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% EDIT “There’s not much to differentiate between the Conjuring flicks and any dozen low budget, allegedly “true” ghost stories that cram themselves into the back blocks of Prime Video and Tubi apart from brand name recognition.” – Blunt Magazine Sep 4, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% EDIT “Filmmaker Macon Blair gets it. He know the secret formula has to include heart. It has to cleave to some kind of ethos in among all the gratuitous gore, obviously fake severed limbs, and shameless nudity.” – Blunt Magazine Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% EDIT “Perfect is boring; if Darkman were perfect, I’d probably love it less.” – Blunt Magazine Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) 62% EDIT “You’ll need to set your expectations appropriately – even old fans may find this a pretty rote effort.” – Blunt Magazine Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Pickup (2025) 25% EDIT “The Pickup very much plays to formula, but the formula fails to effervesce.” – Blunt Magazine Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Heads of State (2025) 68% EDIT “Heads Of State works largely because of the chemistry and charisma of its two stars, both guys who have never been afraid to commit to the bit to get a laugh.” – Blunt Magazine Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% EDIT “I’m just here to watch people die in creative and gruesome ways, and sometimes I even pretend it matters if they deserve it.” – Blunt Magazine Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Chopper (2000) 76% EDIT “It was transformative, alright; Chopper turned Bana from a light entertainer into a serious dramatic actor overnight, a swerve impossible to predict even with 20/20 hindsight.” – Blunt Magazine Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 75% EDIT “The Shrouds asks provocative questions: how do we grieve? Why do we? And how do we live in the aftermath? ” – Blunt Magazine Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story (2025) 100% EDIT “There’s not much new here for old fans, but it’s still fun to play the hits.” – Blunt Magazine Jul 23, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% EDIT “What could have been a lazy cash-in is instead smart, funny, and at times spectacularly gory.” – Blunt Magazine Jul 23, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “More than anything else, The Fantastic Four: First Steps feels obligatory.” – Blunt Magazine Jul 23, 2025 Full Review I See You (2019) 73% EDIT “Sharp, assured and intriguing, this is a thriller that punches above its weight.” – Blunt Magazine Jul 3, 2025 Full Review The Wretched (2019) 74% EDIT “This is a fun, pacy piece of horror cinema.” – Blunt Magazine Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% EDIT “I’m not sure the world of the High Table is much chop without Mr Wick at the centre.” – Blunt Magazine Jul 3, 2025 Full Review
