D
They Will Kill You (2026) Brian Orndorf "They Will Kill You" is gory, noisy, and hostile, but it’s never fun, as Sokolov misses a freewheeling sense of danger and a focused rescue story in his pursuit of mayhem.

She Dances (2025) Brian Orndorf There’s a lot of loveliness here, and many laughs, but when it comes time to secure ending of supreme sensitivity, Gomez delivers in a big way.

B
Pretty Lethal (2026) Brian Orndorf "Pretty Lethal" is reliable entertainment with a handful of highlights, reaching its potential when it finally gets around to creating panicked scenarios for the main characters.

C
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Brian Orndorf Struggles with its low-energy approach and hackneyed way with action sequences. What should be an insane feature bursting with surprises ends up far sleepier than expected.

C
You're Dating a Narcissist! (2025) Brian Orndorf "You’re Dating a Narcissist" isn’t sprightly enough to truly charm. Tomei has her moments, but she can’t carry an unfortunately leaden movie on her own.

B+
Fantasy Life (2025) Brian Orndorf "Fantasy Life" succeeds in these small spaces, and while Shear doesn’t have much interest in building a plot, he captures mood and behavior with skill.

B
Our Hero, Balthazar (2025) Brian Orndorf Boyson doesn’t stick the landing, but this tale of trouble has its moments of disturbing behavior and commentary on adolescent issues.

C
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Brian Orndorf The cast really lifts "Forbidden Fruits" when the offering needs it the most, bringing layers of identity and desires to the film, which helps to digest the movie’s somewhat stationary presentation.
Posted Mar 25, 2026Edit critic review
B
Holy Days (2026) Brian Orndorf "Holy Days" isn’t big on surprises, but it offers time with fantastic actors who capably deliver nuanced emotions and bits of humor as Boltt creates a consistently entertaining road trip movie.

B-
City Wide Fever (2025) Brian Orndorf For those who really enjoy filmmaking that’s in love with filmmaking, "City Wide Fever" has its highlights, with genuine enthusiasm for the storytelling mission, even during its most underfunded scenes.

C
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Brian Orndorf The sequel doesn’t have much in the way of freshness, acting more as a remake than a continuation.
Posted Mar 18, 2026Edit critic review
B+
Tow (2025) Brian Orndorf "Tow" is a little unusual as it straddles the line between mainstream and indie moviemaking, but it delivers heart and significance with its unusual understanding of persistence.

I Swear (2025) Brian Orndorf And there’s Aramayo, who fully inhabits John’s physical and mental space, providing deeply and impressively committed work, always identifying the humanity of the man, even during his most possessed moments.
Posted Mar 18, 2026Edit critic review
D
Pizza Movie (2026) Brian Orndorf Meant to charm adolescent viewers, and will likely do so with its juvenile ways. However, it could be a lot funnier and more creative, really spinning the central pizza-hunting premise in all the right ways.
Posted Mar 18, 2026Edit critic review
D
Vampires of the Velvet Lounge (2026) Brian Orndorf Confusion tends to dominate the viewing experience, as viewers are offered a feature that doesn’t really know what it wants to be, but it has a defined purpose to spill as much fake blood as possible.
Posted Mar 18, 2026Edit critic review
B
The Gates (2026) Brian Orndorf It’s definitely not a film that’s trying to make sense of hatred, instead using it to power a mostly effective exercise in suspense and plot turns, which Burr handles to the best of his ability.
Posted Mar 12, 2026Edit critic review
D
Preschool (2026) Brian Orndorf Duhamel plays it safe with the picture instead, providing a tired sense of mischief with a movie you’ve seen before.
Posted Mar 12, 2026Edit critic review
B
Reminders of Him (2026) Brian Orndorf Caswill remains remarkably committed to preserving a human touch to "Reminders of Him," delivering a feature with some honest emotions and a less manipulative way of doing business.
Posted Mar 11, 2026Edit critic review
B-
Project Hail Mary (2026) Brian Orndorf Lord and Miller attempt to go very big with the offering, which remains engaging enough, but the directors are definitely out to win hearts with the feature, getting a little too pushy with sentimentality as the story unfolds.
Posted Mar 10, 2026Edit critic review
B+
Slanted (2025) Brian Orndorf The movie isn’t razor sharp and doesn’t get weird enough, but Wang’s creative voice remains clear in this thought-provoking offering.
Posted Mar 10, 2026Edit critic review
C
undertone (2025) Brian Orndorf Sound is basically all "Undertone" has, unable to cook up a more dynamic haunting to follow as everything in the movie goes crash, bang, boom.
Posted Mar 10, 2026Edit critic review
B-
Bodycam (2025) Brian Orndorf There’s nothing here that bests the highlights of the "V/H/S" franchise, but Christensen lands a few punches during the run time, requiring a little more patience with the pace of the effort.
Posted Mar 10, 2026Edit critic review
B
The Optimist: The Bravest Act Is Truth (2023) Brian Orndorf "The Optimist" runs into storytelling issues late in the film, but it remains a powerful understanding of endurance, providing intimacy with crisis and compassion.
Posted Mar 10, 2026Edit critic review
D
THE BRIDE! (2026) Brian Orndorf Unbearable permissiveness just sinks the whole thing.
Posted Mar 06, 2026Edit critic review
B
War Machine (2026) Brian Orndorf Hughes makes a few creative missteps in the hunt for an ending, but most of "War Machine" is engaging and action-packed, delivering thrills with a simple but effective concept for survival cinema.
Posted Mar 06, 2026Edit critic review
D+
Protector (2025) Brian Orndorf "Protector" is harsh at times, but also exceedingly ridiculous overall, and while dumbness isn’t always a problem when it comes to the highlights of B-movie entertainment, it definitely doesn’t help this loony offering.
Posted Mar 06, 2026Edit critic review
A-
Hoppers (2026) Brian Orndorf Pixar scores a major success with this wonderful feature, with Chong overseeing rich animation and flavorful voice work, while Andrews manages to find a plot and a message worth following.
Posted Mar 02, 2026Edit critic review

Dolly (2025) Brian Orndorf Vividly sold with all kinds of gruesomeness, putting on a big display of nastiness for those who really enjoy such extremity.
Posted Mar 02, 2026Edit critic review
B+
Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) Brian Orndorf An unsettling movie at times, but also one that enjoys playing with perspective and performance, creating a memorable understanding of imprisonment that’s meant to benefit both the captive and the captor.
Posted Mar 02, 2026Edit critic review
B-
Youngblood (2025) Brian Orndorf The two takes on "Youngblood" are different in small ways, but the 2026 version is after a grittier understanding of hurt, out to reach a slightly younger audience with a refreshed look at ’80s entertainment.
Posted Mar 02, 2026Edit critic review
B-
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Brian Orndorf It’s a big swing of a movie, and it remains an unwieldy sit, but for patient viewers, there’s a good amount of sensitivity to experience here as the endeavor seeks to inspect the power of emotional connections and the movement of time.
Posted Feb 27, 2026Edit critic review
C
Scream 7 (2026) Brian Orndorf It’s nice to have Campbell back, but the writing doesn’t do much with her, especially in the second half of the feature, making the return of Sidney and her amazing resilience (seriously, she should be studied in a lab at this point) kind of blah.
Posted Feb 27, 2026Edit critic review
C
Operation Taco Gary's (2024) Brian Orndorf It’s not the laugh riot the helmer would like it to be, but Kvamme has the right idea with his timing. It’s his material that needs a lot more work.
Posted Feb 27, 2026Edit critic review
B-
Undercard (2025) Brian Orndorf "Undercard" eventually slips into "Rocky" mode, but before the expected occurs, Miller generates some involving life struggles and personal relationships to follow, helping the effort get past complete predictability.
Posted Feb 25, 2026Edit critic review
B-
The Bluff (2026) Brian Orndorf "The Bluff" is supported by periodic aggression, as dramatic interests aren’t exactly thrilling, making the viewing experience more enjoyably visceral than engrossing.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
B
The Napa Boys (2025) Brian Orndorf The helmer has no idea when to quit, but he lands many laughs in the "sequel," periodically finding inspired goofiness to help support the viewing experience.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
B-
Micro Budget (2024) Brian Orndorf "Micro Budget" certainly has its moments, though the endeavor could definitely cut a little deeper with its comedy and interest in the difficulty of moviemaking, especially when a complete idiot is calling the shots.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
B-
K-Pops! (2024) Brian Orndorf "K-Pops" aims to be heartwarming, succeeding in small stretches, and .Paak uses South Korean locations and culture well, creating charming moments before the offering reaches for more predictable plotting.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
B
For Worse (2025) Brian Orndorf Landecker wins on charm here, delivering a lively performance in a likeable picture that’s often funny and occasionally real, having a little fun with life’s challenges and humiliations.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
C-
Bring the Law (2026) Brian Orndorf Hopes for a more dramatically involving and active effort aren’t met, but it’s not a complete wipeout, putting Taylor-Compton to work trying to shape something out of a mess of cliches and formula.
Posted Feb 24, 2026Edit critic review
D
Commando Ninja 2: Invasion America (2024) Brian Orndorf A horrifically overlong sequel that's basically out to make the same jokes, same references, and offer the same low-budget insanity as before, only it now takes what feels like a calendar year to finish the film.
Posted Feb 20, 2026Edit critic review
B
The Pout-Pout Fish (2026) Brian Orndorf Cusso and Harrington manage to keep things lively and charming in the offering, finding humor and a sense of discovery, even if fans of the original book might be slightly bewildered by what the endeavor does to reach a sellable run time.
Posted Feb 20, 2026Edit critic review
D
Psycho Killer (2026) Brian Orndorf "Psycho Killer" (which was shot three years ago) is dreadful and an editorial mess, doing nothing to conjure a case of the creeps with its study of pain and suffering.
Posted Feb 20, 2026Edit critic review
B-
This Is Not a Test (2025) Brian Orndorf There’s blood everywhere and high school concerns, and while the offering isn’t entirely thrilling, MacDonald does a fine job with atmosphere at times as the characters face unusual points of pressure while the world falls apart around them.
Posted Feb 18, 2026Edit critic review
B
How to Make a Killing (2026) Brian Orndorf Darkly comedic action doesn’t sustain for long enough, but Ford achieves an engrossing setup, and star Glen Powell delivers a fine lead performance in a part that demands a balance of good and evil for a story that takes many turns. Perhaps too many.
Posted Feb 18, 2026Edit critic review
B+
Beam Me Up, Sulu (2025) Brian Orndorf "Beam Me Up, Sulu" aims to be sensitive and educational, and it’s also entertaining, especially when it focuses on a moviemaking challenge merging fandom with limited resources.
Posted Feb 17, 2026Edit critic review
B+
Redux Redux (2025) Brian Orndorf There’s a defined move from the helmers to not bog the movie down in technobabble and logic, out to stay human with wild multiverse hopping, and the picture moves fast enough to maintain intensity to the very end.
Posted Feb 17, 2026Edit critic review
B
The Dreadful (2026) Brian Orndorf A final push into a more enigmatic area of mystery doesn’t quite land, but the feature carries enough compelling scenes of danger and torment to support the viewing experience.
Posted Feb 17, 2026Edit critic review
D
Tyler Perry's Joe's College Road Trip (2026) Brian Orndorf Perry is back again with another cheap endeavor that mixes rough comedy with insincere messages on black history, remaining as slapdash as ever with his writing and direction.
