Song Sung Blue (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Song Sung Blue goes from unfettered joy to heartbreak with hairspray, sequins, and glorious Neil Diamond melodies as a toe-tapping accompaniment. You'll definitely want to a bring a box of hankies to the theater.” – MovieWeb Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 51% 2.5/5 EDIT “Anaconda's meta sequel fills the minimum laugh quota while gleefully mocking the admittedly cheesy source material. It achieves base-level success by embracing goofy shenanigans with a nod and wink to obvious absurdity.” – MovieWeb Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “Marty Supreme is a fascinating character study that runs long, with one subplot in particular creating significant pacing issues. Even so, Timothée Chalamet dazzles with moxy in a tour de force, awards-worthy performance.” – MovieWeb Dec 22, 2025 Full Review The Great Flood (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “The Great Flood has more twists than a bag of pretzels. A second-act reveal transforms what seemed like a straightforward plot into something entirely unexpected. This shift is clever at first, but the story soon becomes too convoluted.” – MovieWeb Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 4.5/5 EDIT “An epic narrative, mind-blowing 3D, and unparalleled action scenes — the biggest blockbuster of the year. Superlatives have become a standard refrain as James Cameron's science-fiction magnum opus returns to Pandora for its third chapter.” – MovieWeb Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Dust Bunny delivers a dark fairy tale that's beautifully shot, superbly acted, and brimming with thrilling action in a narrative that will keep you guessing until a bonkers climax.” – MovieWeb Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “Silent Night, Deadly Night slays the holidays in a banner remake of the 1984 cult-classic horror film. Old school fans and neophytes alike will cheer for Christmas carnage in a sharp new take on a grisly franchise. ” – MovieWeb Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Merv (2025) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “Zooey Deschanel, Charlie Cox, and an absolutely adorable mixed-breed terrier will steal your heart in Merv. The feel-good rom-com has predictable beats galore, but delivers a surprising twist that reframes the narrative at just the right time.” – MovieWeb Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Hunting Season (2025) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Mel Gibson returns to form, shredding ruthless baddies with a heavy dose of God, guns, cigarettes, and family values in Hunting Season. There's a palpable engagement factor. You care about what happens to the protagonists.” – MovieWeb Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 1.5/5 EDIT “Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will have you laughing out loud for the wrong reasons. Scenes meant to inspire terror make no sense whatsoever and have the exact opposite effect. An inane narrative with baffling twists can't be saved by paltry scares.” – MovieWeb Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Fackham Hall will have audiences rolling in the aisles with its clever satire of class divisions, gender inequality, and genre tropes. You'll need a keen eye and sharp ears to catch all the gags.” – MovieWeb Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 34% 2.5/5 EDIT “Michelle Pfeiffer stands up for underappreciated mothers taken for granted during the holidays. Oh. What. Fun. shows what happens when dear mom finally reaches her breaking point.” – MovieWeb Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Wildcat (2025) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “Wildcat's convoluted plot doesn't really add up, but there's no denying a fun factor remains constant throughout. The bullets, beatdowns, and nutty characters are good fun in mindless viewing.” – MovieWeb Nov 30, 2025 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 79% 4/5 EDIT “The always brilliant Claire Foy gives a stellar lead performance in H Is for Hawk as a woman whose inability to process grief manifests itself in a startling way. A beautiful film takes a gentle approach to handling personal crises.” – MovieWeb Nov 30, 2025 Full Review The Family Plan 2 (2025) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Family Plan 2 is a serviceable (at best) sequel that continues the action-comedy adventures of a likable-enough ensemble. The film has just enough laughs, a sprinkle of surprises and slick parkour chase scenes to warrant casual viewing.” – MovieWeb Nov 24, 2025 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% 2/5 EDIT “The Carpenter's Son themes of challenged faith, the search for divine purpose and evil's temptation are muddied by a disjointed narrative. Good performances from Noah Jupe and Isla Johnston are lost in a stale execution of standard horror tropes.” – MovieWeb Nov 24, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Fantasy blurs into reality as two imaginative siblings learn valuable life lessons on a magical quest to save their family. In Your Dreams gets wildly creative with an eye-popping adventure set to a groovy soundtrack of familiar hits. ” – MovieWeb Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 63% 2.5/5 EDIT “What begins as a thoughtful, riveting and darkly comic action thriller limps through a drawn-out climax as The Running Man's excessive length becomes problematic. ” – MovieWeb Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 61% 2.5/5 EDIT “Now You See Me: Now You Don't blends classic characters with new faces, a lackluster antagonist, and a convoluted plot. The nifty heist at its core plays second fiddle to a stream of introductions and team-building exercises.” – MovieWeb Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 2.5/5 EDIT “Nuremberg is told in a bullet-point, Wikipedia-style narrative with poor exposition connecting critical scenes. A wealth of ensemble talent is wasted on one-note performances that fail to bolster dramatic impact.” – MovieWeb Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Predator: Badlands will kick your a** and break a foot doing it. Director Dan Trachtenberg is on a roll with a superb third entry in the franchise. He continues an intriguing narrative evolution and ups the action ante with banner visual effects. ” – BlackFilmandTV.com Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Sydney Sweeney delivers a knockout performance in Christy, a gut-wrenching portrayal of the famed boxer's rise to stardom and the tragic price she paid after enduring years of domestic abuse. ” – MovieWeb Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% 2.5/5 EDIT “Ballad of a Small Player gets top marks for Colin Farrell's intimate performance and stunning cinematography, but falls short as a psychological thriller with an obvious narrative.” – MovieWeb Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Astronaut (2025) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Astronaut confounds and intrigues as a completely illogical narrative leads to a whopper conclusion. Most will find it ridiculous, but suspending disbelief does allow for a modicum of thrills.” – MovieWeb Oct 17, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “100 Meters follows a pair of disparate runners on a journey fraught with physical and psychological distress. Brilliantly hand-drawn in 2D anime, the characters remain intriguing, though the uneven pacing proves problematic. ” – MovieWeb Oct 16, 2025 Full Review
