Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
(2026)
|
Richard Crouse
|
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come has a few laughs but the needlessly complicated story leans into its cartoonishly evil characters without the absurdity that made the first movie so much fun.

The Things You Kill
(2025)
|
Richard Crouse

Project Hail Mary
(2026)
|
Richard Crouse
|
Project Hail Mary is a contradiction. An intimate spectacle, it’s a huge, Spielbergian movie that’s also a moving odd couple story with a sense of wonder infused into every frame.

Reminders of Him
(2026)
|
Richard Crouse
|
Reminders of Him is a sincere-if-slight movie whose romantic tentacles are meant to tug at audience heartstrings, controlling them like marionettes, but instead puppets predictable romantic prosaicisms that will remind you of other, better movies.

undertone
(2025)
|
Richard Crouse
|
Visually undertone owes a debt to the elevated horror of the late teens and early 2000s but not since religious types accused Led Zeppelin of hiding Satanic messages in Stairway to Heaven have reversed sounds caused so much panic.

(2025)
|
Richard Crouse

Through archival footage, interviews, and exciting performance footage, Nash the Slash Rises Again entertainingly places Nash in context as a musician who walked his own path, strove for fame but never at the cost of his artistic integrity.
