Hoppers (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “It may not be Pixar at its most dazzling, but it is Pixar at its most endearing with a genuinely charming tale full of heart, humour, and lovable chaos.” – The Jam Report Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 3/5 EDIT “It's not a groundbreaking romantic drama. Nor is it particularly subtle in its storytelling. But sometimes sincerity goes a long way.” – The Jam Report Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 5/5 EDIT “At once exhilarating, funny, awe-inspiring, and quietly profound, it balances scientific curiosity with emotional warmth in a way that feels almost miraculous.” – The Jam Report Mar 10, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 2/5 EDIT “The result is a film that feels constantly at war with itself, unable to decide whether it wants to be a cheeky pulp romp or a serious meditation on identity and creation.” – The Jam Report Mar 5, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film aims to be a stylish black comedy about society’s worship of mammon, but it never fully commits to the darkness or the humour required to make that idea truly resonate.” – The Jam Report Mar 4, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “It may follow a cliche playbook, but it contests the game with enthusiasm and style. And sometimes, that's more than enough to score the winning goal.” – The Jam Report Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2/5 EDIT “On paper, 'Scream 7' has all the ingredients for a powerful legacy chapter. In execution, it is a hollow, nostalgia-soaked sequel that mistakes references for reinvention and sentiment for substance.” – The Jam Report Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “For all its stunning visual grandeur, it ultimately feels less like a devastating gothic tragedy and more like a beautifully mounted soap opera.” – The Jam Report Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A wickedly entertaining dark comedy that finds surprising emotional bite in its lunacy, and for anyone who has ever survived a toxic workplace, it hits especially hard.” – The Jam Report Jan 27, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “It is a film of ferocious intensity and unexpected tenderness, one that understands that chaos and grace are not opposites but uneasy companions.” – The Jam Report Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 3/5 EDIT “It's obviously not Oscar material, but it is a reminder that sometimes a movie can simply be a good time, and that has value too.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Pure pop cinema in the very best sense, it's vibrant, empowering, and impossible not to smile along with.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A propulsive sensory overload that defies convention at every turn.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 4/5 EDIT “An unexpectedly tender, quietly provocative love story that refuses to sensationalise its subject matter while also refusing to apologise for it.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “A twist-filled, high camp psychological thriller that knows how to push the right buttons and revels in doing so.” – The Jam Report Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “A reminder that spectacle can only carry a story so far. Cameron remains unmatched in his ability to create worlds, but this time, the narrative feels like it is treading water rather than forging something truly new.” – The Jam Report Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “A character portrait that embraces contradiction, a period piece that feels startlingly current, and a comedy that flirts with tragedy without losing its sense of fun.” – The Jam Report Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “Both a heartfelt crowdpleaser and a tearjerking romance, it finds emotional truth in a familiar melody.” – The Jam Report Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Silly, sweet, and a little stuck in the past” – The Jam Report Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “In the end, 'Zootopia 2' succeeds by staying true to what made the original so beloved while expanding its world in meaningful ways. It is heartfelt, clever, visually gorgeous, and thematically rich.” – The Jam Report Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Cemented by two stunning performances from its leading ladies, it is a stirring and often breathtaking conclusion, but not entirely a graceful one.” – The Jam Report Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “A glossy, high-energy caper that delivers what audiences came for: wild illusions, clever twists, a charismatic cast, and the kind of buoyant, popcorn-friendly fun that’s hard to resist.” – The Jam Report Nov 12, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “Slick, loud, and visually charged, Edgar Wright’s new version feels both too much and not nearly enough. It moves fast but goes nowhere, repeating itself until its thrills run dry.” – The Jam Report Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “In the end, the film expectedly belongs to Squibb, whose presence alone turns what could have been a sentimental misfire into something genuinely touching. Watching her is a gift, and that’s always more than enough.” – The Jam Report Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 3.5/5 EDIT “Directors Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han Jin Kuang capture the sensation of childhood not through plot or dialogue but through textures, sounds and shifting light. The result is a sensory reverie that celebrates wonder and confusion in equal measure.” – The Jam Report Oct 29, 2025 Full Review
