Movies TV Shows
Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 5/5 EDIT “The acting, world-building, special effects, musical score, heart-wrenching drama, and intense action all worked in harmony to craft a story that hit every beat perfectly and, in turn, delivered a cinematic masterpiece.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Bodycam (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “For a 75-minute contained horror, the movie establishes some decent suspense and dread, using twisting dark passageways, urgent momentum, and maze-like escape routes that are coupled with a disturbing set of visuals.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Mar 17, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 72% 4.5/5 EDIT “Both the physical and voice acting by Nina Kiri draw us in with welcoming or intriguing tones, only to then scare the poop out of us thanks to a mythos and storyline that are pure nightmare fuel.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 4/5 EDIT “Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers are electric, creating palpable attraction mixed with deep-seated emotions. And while the romance is earned within the storytelling, the redemptive and second-chance arcs are ineffective thanks to being forcibly rushed.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Mar 12, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is a film of punk rock women's empowerment. It’s loud, flashy, not always fully polished, but just like the title character, they’re both strong, opinionated, and ready to cause a raucous for the message.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Mar 8, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 1.5/5 EDIT “There is zero story here, other than some twisted individual in a doll getup, terrorizing a couple and brutalizing them. We’re not given any credible backstory or lore, so we have a masked maniac with a doll fetish dismembering unsuspecting people.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Mar 8, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 69% 2.5/5 EDIT “While Alan Ritchson is a physical beast and has some wonderful comedic talents to complement his action prowess, nothing in this production allows him to shine or stand out other than as a towering muscular soldier who doesn’t want to give up.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Mar 8, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 79% 2/5 EDIT “Slow pacing, minimal character background, and a generic premise that fails to fully lean into the campiness it could showcase make for an unfortunately lackluster cinema experience.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 27, 2026 Full Review I Swear (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “The film equally focuses on the drama and the humor to create a well-rounded narrative that inspires and educates, as well as entertains. Aramayo took a condition and character that could have become a punchline and brought out the soul of the person.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 10% 1.5/5 EDIT “With a mishmash of good practical effects and appallingly shameful CGI effects, the movie works against itself and destroys any terror, apprehension, or dread it establishes through uninspired, lazy tropes and a pointless "twist" of a conclusion.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film delivers a strangely wonderful comedic sci-fi adventure that doesn’t always fire on all cylinders but is endearing nonetheless.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review The Mortuary Assistant (2026) 38% 1.5/5 EDIT “Despite the excellent makeup and practical effects, this movie is an unfortunate waste of time, where even the 90-minute run time feels exceptionally long.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 63% 2.5/5 EDIT “Rushed story progressions curiously combined with a dragging pace make this clunky, adding to the dullness of stoic and robotic characterizations that lack connection, which is also a result of blatantly stealing story premises from other well-known films” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 72% 4/5 EDIT “The hand-drawn animation is stunning, creating depth through textures and shadows. The messaging is also poignant and relevant, enhanced through songs and dialog that subtly, but clearly, deliver its point.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 54% 1.5/5 EDIT “With overly simplified dialog, a storytelling progression that feels slapped together, story elements that are awkwardly and inexplicably inserted, and a pace that is like paint drying, there’s very little that makes this worthy of a watch.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “The filmmaking is beautiful, incorporating Hitchcockian camera shots, a slow-burning pace, and characters that are obscured in motive and virtue.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 3/5 EDIT “If you go to see this, you already know exactly what you’re in for. The battles are full of savagery, the chases are intense, and there’s just enough heart to keep the story engaging without becoming an exact replica of every other Jason Statham flick.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “There’s not much in this that makes it wholly original, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a bunch of fun. The story is overly long and predictable, but the performances accentuate the dark comedy and thrills to make a squeamishly funny adventure.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% 3.5/5 EDIT “While the acting and dialog aren’t nearly as polished as they should be, making the flow oddly forced, the heart of the story, the themes it addresses, and the superb practical effects make for a nasty and mostly enjoyable watching experience.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% 2.5/5 EDIT “With a predictable storyline and an overly aggressive societal critique, MERCY appears to know what it wants to say, but it’s just not equipped enough to convey it effectively.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Despite having a rocky and jumbled introduction to the film, the rest falls into place relatively quickly, producing a suspenseful and aggressive story that may not be wholly memorable, but is exciting in the moment.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Despite some predictability and the use of jump scares, the writing builds the world to be terrifying but not without hope, elevating this from simple horror to a provocative examination of what can happen with a little compassion or a little psychosis.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Even with the predictability of the progression and the longer-than-normal rom-com run time, this was an endearing and hilarious romp around the world and through time.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 49% 4/5 EDIT “The story doesn’t pretend to be anything else, but will probably surprise you with its touching emotion. With enveloping graphic effects, it builds out an enjoyable distraction from the chaos of real life by showing us the chaos of a make-believe life.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Primate is a ruthless horror that solidly delivers the chills, terror, and ghastliness a good slasher should. The storytelling isn’t deep, but we’re still presented with a horrifying film full of excellent practical effects & an immense amount of unease.” – Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review
