undertone (2025) 72% 3/4 EDIT “There are moments when it all comes together and manages to get under your skin in a way that only the best horror films can.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) 91% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “Accurate period production values, a poignant script from the show’s creator Steven Knight and strong performances from series veterans and newcomers alike, combine to provide a gripping and satisfying conclusion to its anti-hero’s story arc.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 3/4 EDIT “As much as I liked the movie’s first two hours, its final 30 minutes dampened its appeal. Rather than ending once the initial conflict is rectified, a further narrative complication is introduced that lessens the film’s overall impact. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 3/4 EDIT “Through the eyes of its sympathetic protagonist, the film manages to address not only the pressures facing modern young women, but also the Catch-22 social dynamics immigrants who come to America must contend with.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 93% 2/4 EDIT “Had Chong wanted to deliver a valuable message, it should have been that adults sometimes don’t mean what they say, but I guess that’s not necessary. They find out soon enough.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 9, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 69% 3/4 EDIT “Ritchson’s stoic, imposing presence is a focal point when lasers aren’t lasing and guns aren’t shooting. But he brings more to the table, giving an effectively modulated, emotional performance as flashbacks provide the reasoning behind 81’s tenacity. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Protector (2025) 19% 1.5/4.0 EDIT “I’m not sure if movies like this are made to eventually be taken as a tax write off, as a contractual obligation or on a dare. What I do know is that "Protector" is a waste of time, money and talent.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 5, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 1.5/4.0 EDIT “The tragedy of the film is that Gyllenhaal’s message, which she is obviously desperate to convey, is lost amid the tumult. ” – Illinois Times Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 1/4 EDIT “Rod Blackhurst’s "Dolly" is such a movie, a derivative, plodding exercise in sadism that fails on every level, except in delivering what fans of this kind of trash refer to as "good kills."” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Mar 4, 2026 Full Review K-Pops! (2024) 86% 3/4 EDIT “"K-Pops" winds up being a pleasant surprise, an unassuming movie that succeeds on its own terms.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 26, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 84% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “There are few surprises where the film’s conclusion is concerned and that’s fine. The purpose of "GOAT" is to inspire the still-impressionable and it succeeds. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 25, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “An immersion into all things Elvis, an experience as close to seeing him in concert as today’s fans are likely to get.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 25, 2026 Full Review This Is Not a Test (2025) 43% 3/4 EDIT “Donald and Summers stress the morality of the story rather than its violence. Briskly told and with an ending that doesn’t disappoint, "Test" is a solid genre entry that shows that in the right hands, even a well-worn premise can still be effective.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 19, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 3/4 EDIT “Self-conscious and a bit too broad in many of his earlier films, there’s an ease about Powell here that not only makes for a better performance, but allows him to make a connection with the viewer.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “This is the work of an immature artist, one who would rather shock her audience, than compel them to feel.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 3.5/4.0 EDIT “I fear it’s message will be lost in the vast sea of meaningless media that constantly buffets us. "Good’s" warning isn’t prescient, but rather its dystopian scenario has already come to be. We’re just too distracted to see it.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 79% 3/4 EDIT “Though you likely won’t remember a thing about it a week after seeing it, "Storage" is an entertaining enough time filler, provided you’re in the mood for a comical bit of body horror.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 4/4 EDIT “Captivating and smart, there’s not an ounce of narrative fat to the Layton’s adaptation of Don Winslow’s novella, each scene briskly moving the story along, steadily building a head of steam before delivering an honest, ironic conclusion.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 54% 3/4 EDIT “However, the work of the three principals salvages the film, though barely.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 63% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “A standard horror film from start to finish, Corin Hardy’s "Whistle" benefits from a game cast and a third act that contains some clever narrative switchbacks. ” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Feb 4, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 74% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “The pairing of Bautista and Mamoa is the film’s strong suit, their antagonistic chemistry providing enough energy to this tired exercise to make it seem, if not fresh, at least passably entertaining.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jan 29, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “Sagging badly in the middle, the film suffers from disparate tones and narrative constipation. Thankfully, it manages to right itself, delivering a wonderfully ironic conclusion that drives home the ultimate futility of all we’ve witnessed.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “Resorting to the laziness of using a car chase and no-holds barred action finale proves all the more disappointing after such a promising beginning.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jan 22, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 2/4 EDIT “In the end, "Hawk" fails in not focusing on a compelling protagonist, either avian or human. That it’s incapable of providing us with a complete portrait of MacDonald ultimately prevents it from taking flight.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/4 EDIT “Smartly executed, "The Rip’s" plot twists hold water, putting all that’s come prior in a different perspective, revealing just who the "good guys" are, a label increasingly hard to uphold in its dark world of pain and temptation.” – Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Jan 16, 2026 Full Review
