Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% A- EDIT “"Project Hail Mary" is a beautifully filmed, emotionally gripping story about the potential end of the world and an unlikely friendship at its center.” – Akron Beacon Journal Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% C EDIT “For a film that is supposed to be emotionally charged, it can feel remarkably inert in that regard. The chemistry between Kenna and Ledger is predictable and understated and Monroe and Withers deliver performances that are indicative of that.” – Akron Beacon Journal Mar 11, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% C EDIT “"The Bride" is audacious and ambitious with respect to premise, but as executed by director-writer Maggie Gyllenhaal, this gothic horror love story proves jagged and disjointed.” – Akron Beacon Journal Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 93% B+ EDIT “After a several lackluster films in recent years, Pixar showed signs of a creative resurgence with the release of "Inside Out 2" in 2024, "Elio" last year and, now, with "Hoppers" that momentum continues.” – Akron Beacon Journal Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Chocolat (2000) 63% 3/4 EDIT “This small cinematic morsel may not have the hype of many of the season's bigger movies, but it sure does have more bite and taste.” – Akron Beacon Journal Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% B- EDIT “[Bart] Layton has created a stylish, thrilling love letter to both sides of Los Angeles in "Crime 101."” – Akron Beacon Journal Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Erin Brockovich (2000) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “Erin Brockovich could be that woman behind you in the checkout line or your next-door neighbor. Ultimately, that common quality is what makes the film Erin Brockovich, a reality-based legal drama, such a compelling piece of entertainment. ” – Akron Beacon Journal Feb 6, 2026 Full Review The Muppet Show (2026) 98% B+ EDIT “The show embodies everything the original iteration did – mirth, merriment and music. The first episode features a healthy share of celebrities – [executive producer Seth] Rogen, of course, Maya Rudolph and musical guest Sabrina Carpenter.” – Akron Beacon Journal Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% B EDIT “"Shelter" proves to be enjoyable, highlighted by [[Jason] Statham and [Bill] Nighy’s performances along with that of a talented newcomer in [Bohdi Rae] Breathnach making it worth checking out.” – Akron Beacon Journal Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% B EDIT “It’s not a perfect film, but "Mercy" is intelligent, thought-provoking, well-acted and wholly entertaining. It should not have been exiled to January’s cinematic tundra.” – Akron Beacon Journal Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% B EDIT “It should be of little surprise that Affleck and Damon, even when it’s adversarial, exude chemistry. Their performances complement one another.” – Akron Beacon Journal Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% B EDIT “The film, very conventional by today’s standards, is a straight-forward crowd pleaser with a compelling story and a couple of top-notch veterans in Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson – leading the way.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% A- EDIT “Chalamet delivers the oily, abundantly arrogant performance that makes this all work. Marty could be easily hated and dismissed, but he and Safdie imbue the character with a likeability that he should not have.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% B EDIT “But the reality with "Avatar" films as strong as the voice and motion-capture work are, the star will likely, until the fifth and final film, be those stunning visuals...” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 16, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 75% 3/4 EDIT “The Abyss has its charms.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% A- EDIT “The enjoyment in "Jay Kelly" comes from watching Clooney and Sandler, who are both worthy of awards consideration, work through their relationship.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% A- EDIT “With awards season underway, "Hamnet" is quickly positioning itself as a top contender for multiple honors — Oscar gold included.” – Akron Beacon Journal Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% A- EDIT “Films in [the animated] genre click best when they work on multiple levels and writer and co-director Jared Bush along with partner Byron Howard — the duo behind the original film and another Disney classic "Encanto" — ensure "Zootopia 2" does. ” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% C EDIT “Chu’s follow up is a helter-skelter mix where the timing is off. The editing is equally so where both just take the viewer out of the film, lending the audience to believe the film’s runtime matches its predecessor when it’s close to a half hour less.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Being Eddie (2025) 75% B EDIT “But the reality of the documentary: we’re given a perspective of who Murphy is now. That would be proud father, producer and someone who has aged gracefully and evolved as a person.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% A- EDIT “Director Guillermo del Toro’s "Frankenstein," is almost too elegant and too visually stunning – despite being painted in shades of grey – to be called horror.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 61% B EDIT “Taken on its own terms – that of being pure entertainment – “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” satisfies as cinematic junk food. Do not go too deep beyond that. ” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 71% B EDIT ““Nuremberg” proves to be a fascinating character study led by several strong performances and Vanderbilt’s capable hand.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% B+ EDIT “Few directors have been able to drop into an established franchise – especially one as mature as “Predator” – revive it and truly make it their own. Dan Trachtenberg ("10 Cloverfield") has not only refreshed it, but he’s imbued it with intelligence ” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 6, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% B+ EDIT “Told from multiple perspectives, including that of the military, the president’s cabinet and just everyday people, it’s gripping, thought-provoking television.” – Akron Beacon Journal Nov 4, 2025 Full Review
