5/10
Swapped (2026) Daniel Howat Unfortunately, despite flashes of inspiration, it suffers from dreaded forgettability; it’s too reminiscent of recent, better films with similar plots, tropes, and themes, and never quite finds the spark it needs to stand out.

9/10
Doubt (2008) Lauren LaMagna But one doesn’t need to understand the history of the Catholic Church to enjoy the film, because, if anything, "Doubt" is an acting masterclass featuring one of the strongest acting quartets a film has ever seen.

Deep Water (2026) Josh Parham There’s scattered evidence of this objective being accomplished, but not nearly enough to designate this beyond the realm of Syfy Original Movie territory.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Dan Bayer Even though the dialogue lets them down a bit, all the returning cast members slip back into these roles like comfortable couture, effortlessly recapturing the spark that made these characters pop off the screen.

8/10
Modern Whore (2025) Nadia Dalimonte With a smart script that reclaims stigmatized narratives, they’ve made a thoughtful documentary that explores sex work through an imaginative and humanistic lens.

Apex (2026) Sara Clements Theron and Egerton give us a masterclass in physical performance, but "Apex" itself never quite reaches the summit it aspires to.

Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) Josh Parham It’s still an attractive endeavor, but one that misses out on a more impactful vision.

7/10
Animal Farm (2025) Max Borg Serkis preserves Orwell’s original allegorical message and intent, albeit slightly diluted, as the film walks a tightrope between the political urgency of the source material and the need to appeal to a wider audience.

4/10
Michael (2026) Josh Parham The long march of musician biopics will continue after this one, even in the assumed continuation of this very story. However, it's still bewildering just how empty "Michael" ends up becoming.

Frost/Nixon (2008) Nadia Dalimonte "Frost/Nixon" ultimately resonates through brilliant performances, as well as through an insightful director and writer pairing whose work demonstrates deep fascination with the subject matter.

5/10
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Josh Parham The beauty of horror is that it allows for variation, and that’s certainly the case here, with results that are less than desirable.

Lorne (2026) Dan Bayer Perhaps "Lorne" entertains more than it informs, but somehow, that feels exactly right.
Posted Apr 15, 2026  Edit critic review
8/10
Mother Mary (2026) Dan Bayer Lowery, clearly fascinated by the plight of the modern pop star, has made "Mother Mary" with both the fervor of a fan and the insight of a fellow artist.

Steal This Story, Please! (2025) Josh Parham Anyone seeking something with more depth will not find it here, but there are still worthy stories to tell.

6/10
Mermaid (2025) Alyssa Christian Sure, the title is unoriginal, but its presentation is not. Of course, it’s nowhere near as good as "Splash," but it doesn’t need to be.

5/10
Thrash (2026) Sara Clements It tries to be the next "Jaws," but without a stronger commitment to its human drama, "Thrash" gets swallowed by the very waves it depicts.

6/10
Bunnylovr (2025) Josh Parham There’s some nice attention to detail here that makes Zhu a promising filmmaker, but her debut feature leaves one wanting more from the textured world she’s crafting.

4/10
Outcome (2026) Ema Sasic "Outcome" has good intentions, aiming to show the real side of Hollywood, but odd choices muddle its results. It wants to have all these emotional moments and still be a funny take on Hollywood, but often one is frustratingly sacrificed for the other.

7/10
City Wide Fever (2025) Cody Dericks But for those looking for a movie that doesn’t care about modern trends and is unapologetic about being visually wondrous and delightfully bizarre, this fever may be just what the doctor ordered.

7/10
You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Dan Bayer Regé-Jean Page and especially Halle Bailey shine in this enjoyably self-aware, easily-digestible romantic comedy.

4/10
Beast (2026) Giovanni Lago There is some fleeting satisfaction in watching a punch connect, but beyond that, there is little here that truly lands.
Posted Apr 07, 2026  Edit critic review
5/10
Faces of Death (2026) Cody Dericks It constructs an accurate mirror of our Internet-driven world, but "Faces of Death" is an unfortunate example of the kind of movie that’s more exciting to talk about than actually to watch.

6/10
Pizza Movie (2026) Cody Dericks "Pizza Movie’s" title not only reveals a major plot point but also captures the film’s overall energy and weight. It’s generally enjoyable while being consumed, but afterward, it may not feel like a fully satisfying or nourishing cinematic meal.

7/10
The Serpent's Skin (2025) Cody Dericks The vibe is so, so right. Anyone looking for an empowering, forward-thinking, and trippy watch will feel right at home slipping into this movie’s, well, skin. It’s quite literally spellbinding.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Daniel Howat There’s enough here to leave a mass audience satisfied, even if anticipation grows for the next film to level up. For now, good enough is simply enough.

The Drama (2026) Lauren LaMagna But, despite the controversial subject matter, the film would not be nearly as strong without Zendaya and Pattinson delivering these complex performances.

Fantasy Life (2025) Nadia Dalimonte Overall, the narrative trajectory builds towards an underwhelming end, but as a first-time director and screenwriter, Shear proves to be a promising talent on the rise.

6/10
Black Zombie (2026) Giovanni Lago What emerges is a vital corrective to decades of misunderstanding. Voodoo is not the sinister, fearmongering force it has so often been portrayed as, but a deeply spiritual and culturally rich practice.

6/10
DreamQuil (2026) Dan Bayer The world of "DreamQuil" is so richly imagined that more time spent developing Prager’s ideas wouldn’t have been an imposition on the audience. Instead, it’s a good-looking, well-acted sci-fi thriller that takes a big swing at the end and misses.

7/10
Drag (2026) Dan Bayer "Drag" may be a thin premise to hang a whole film on, and despite the personality of the performers, the characters themselves are too generic, but it’s never a drag to watch.

Wishful Thinking (2026) Giovanni Lago As a debut feature, it marks an impressive start for Parkes, especially in his work with actors, and suggests a promising future ahead.

7/10
Manhood (2026) Giovanni Lago Lombroso’s storytelling is tight, and his ability to bounce among all three subjects makes for a well-paced documentary that doesn’t retread the same few points.

5/10
They Will Kill You (2026) Giovanni Lago At least Sokolov gives Beetz a moment to shine and become the action hero she deserves, but the film’s more inventive set pieces, such as the air-duct crawl, don’t outweigh how underwhelming "They Will Kill You" is at the end of the day.

7/10
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Dan Bayer This is not a film for the faint of heart, but then, marriage isn’t for the faint of heart, either. As "Over Your Dead Body" makes hilariously clear, the couple that fights together – for each other – stays together.

6/10
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Giovanni Lago Everything about "Forbidden Fruits" screams cult classic or at least an intentional attempt to make that happen. Alloway’s debut is a film that depends on riding the vibes of it all, and it’s worth doing so.

The Fox (2026) Dan Bayer While Russo’s sense of humor may not be to everyone’s taste, his singular voice and unique premise make "The Fox" an exciting debut.

Sender (2026) Giovanni Lago Lower attempts to rise above the material, unfortunately, aren’t enough to warrant sitting through this half-baked outing that will infuriate those who stay through the entirety of its runtime

He Bled Neon (2026) Sara Clements Kirsch’s debut signals a director with vision, and it’s a story that reminds us that the past never stays quiet—and in Vegas, it always finds you.

Power Ballad (2026) Giovanni Lago Paul Rudd delivers a moving and hilarious performance in Power Ballad, and John Carney delivers enough laughs and tear-inducing moments to win viewers' hearts.

Hokum (2026) Dan Bayer Adam Scott is a great lead in Damian McCarthy's spine-tingling ghost story. Full of shivery atmosphere and effective jump scares that will actually make you jump.

The Sun Never Sets (2026) Giovanni Lago Dakota Fanning and Jake Johnson deliver good performances in a dramedy that succeeds at being as frustrating as these characters' love for each other. Eon Mora's cinematography makes this the most stunning film of Swanberg's career.

Imposters (2026) Sara Clements Caleb Phillips establishes himself as an audacious new voice in genre by utilizing a high-concept mystery, complete with shocking twists, to drive a tense, creative exploration of an overused plot device that feels original.

I Understand Your Displeasure (2026) Sara Clements The film is unfortunately undermined by a script that lacks analytical precision, leaving many narrative threads feeling muddy and surface-level.

Narciso (2026) Sara Clements While the backdrop is incredibly rich, the narrative often feels scattered, leaving Narciso as a mysterious thematic outline rather than a fully fleshed-out character we can truly mourn.

Never After Dark (2026) Sara Clements The technical artistry, from its practical lighting and chilling sound design to Moeka Hoshi’s commanding lead performance, creates a hypnotic and atmospheric mystery that effectively twists familiar ghost story tropes into something fresh.

Kill Me (2026) Sara Clements Expertly balances high-stakes mystery with a grounded, empathetic portrayal of mental health, allowing the audience to feel the genuine pain of both Jimmy and the family members affected by his history.
