They Will Kill You (2026) 78% 4.5/5 EDIT “It has been a while since we’ve had a movie as weird and fun as this one. ” – The Mary Sue Mar 18, 2026 Full Review I Love Boosters (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It is weird, out there, and you may want to suddenly dress in monochrome outfits for the foreseeable future, but there is so much more to I Love Boosters outrageousness.” – The Mary Sue Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Come for Weaving and Segel beating the crap out of each other, stay for a really fascinating look at relationship issues, money struggles, and what would happen if Timothy Olyphant randomly shows up at your house. ” – The Mary Sue Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Hokum is the kind of horror movie we all need. And it proves McCarthy’s place as one of the kings of the modern age of horror stories.” – The Mary Sue Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Forbidden Fruits is a worthy entry into the world of female rage and horror and I cannot wait to see girls talking about this for years to come.” – The Mary Sue Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% 9/10 EDIT “With inventive kills, raised stakes, and a lot more world building, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come manages to elevate this story.” – CBR Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Power Ballad (2026) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “Yes, there are nods to Carney's work and there is still that undercurrent of love for music as a whole but what really makes Power Ballad work is the film's ability to connect with the audience through music. ” – The Mary Sue Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Wishful Thinking (2026) 100% EDIT “The comedic beats and brilliance of Wishful Thinking makes it a fun watch but it really is the romantic moments that stay with you.” – The Mary Sue Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 5/5 EDIT “If it was any other performer, it might get old fast. But with Gosling, he’s wildly entertaining as Ryland and even when it is just him on board the ship alone, it is worthwhile.” – The Mary Sue Mar 10, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 4/5 EDIT “It really is Buckley’s film. The moments where the Bride completely loses herself flow so beautifully because of Buckley’s performance and it makes the wild ride of Frank and his Bride so captivating.” – The Mary Sue Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Hoppers is for all those kids who see an animal and instantly want to pet it.” – The Mary Sue Mar 2, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 4.5/5 EDIT “The dark comedy has a lot of fun with the “kills” and Becket’s charm (or maybe that’s just Powell’s natural charisma) lends itself to a run ride of a film. And one that really showcases just how fun Glen Powell can be in a role.” – The Mary Sue Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 5/5 EDIT “What makes Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die such a good movie is its message” – The Mary Sue Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3.5/5 EDIT “If we are to judge it as a piece of fiction that is an adaptation of a novel that we don’t have to adapt page for page, I think Fennell created a captivating film that is erotic and fascinating to watch. ” – The Mary Sue Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Muppet Show (2026) 98% 5/5 EDIT “You will cry over how much the Muppets continue to be the best because that’s what has always made The Muppet Show special.” – The Mary Sue Feb 6, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Both Kelson’s storyline and the Jimmys storyline come together in a beautiful way to show an audience how differently people can react to things like a global outbreak.” – The Mary Sue Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Each song flows so beautifully with the rest of the songs in the piece that you get excited by the newest song presented to you.” – The Mary Sue Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The film is a fun adventure for Spongebob but what made it something special, to me, was the way that Spongebob’s friendships were explored.” – The Mary Sue Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 4/5 EDIT “The Housemaid is a wild time but well worth the trip to the cinema for.” – The Mary Sue Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “If you go into the Avatar movies only for the beauty of Pandora and not the substance of the story, then you’ll be fine. But it feels like just another “look at this CGI I did” film and not like anything that expands the world of Avatar.” – The Mary Sue Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 5/5 EDIT “I was captivated by him. Often, we see determination as a negative thing. But everyone you know who is famous has that same drive that Marty does.” – The Mary Sue Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Zootopia 2 manages to capture the magic of the first film and give us something more to be excited about within the world and the lore of Zootopia. ” – The Mary Sue Nov 25, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “It is original, fun, and yes, I kind of want to live in the breakfast world even when everything ends up moldy.” – The Mary Sue Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “The saving grace of Wicked: For Good are the songs in Act 2 that already work. “No Good Deed” has always been my stand out and the same goes for Erivo’s version of it. ” – The Mary Sue Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 49% 3.5/5 EDIT “While Keeper is Perkins’ weakest film yet, it is still a fascinating watch from beginning to end. ” – The Mary Sue Nov 14, 2025 Full Review
