4/4
Sunshine (2007) Brian Eggert A thoughtful, visually inspired variant of space-bound sci-fi spectacles.

Late Shift (2025) Brian Eggert A moving, fast-paced film that will leave you wanting to give your healthcare provider a hug.

2.5/4
Tow (2025) Brian Eggert Tow is the kind of pandering movie in which the characters give big speeches and narrative progress is conveyed in several montages. As written, Amanda risks becoming a caricature, save for Byrne’s ability to give the character dimension.

2.5/4
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Brian Eggert Ready or Not 2 delivers. But those expecting something groundbreaking or new may feel slight disappointment, even while being amply diverted.

Miroirs No. 3 (2025) Brian Eggert A moving examination of how trauma leaves people in a state of emotional suspended animation.

The Gates (2026) Brian Eggert Burr delivers an engaging 90-minute thriller. That’s thanks in large part to Mason Gooding.

2.5/4
undertone (2025) Brian Eggert Whatever the aural antithesis of ASMR is called, undertone is that. And while the movie is undeniably frightening in its audiovisual techniques, I wanted more from this underwhelming story.

3.5/4
Bushido (2024) Brian Eggert Bushido is about how, when people act honorably, it inspires others to do the same. We need more of that in our world.

2/4
Project Hail Mary (2026) Brian Eggert In its adaptation to the screen, Project Hail Mary has been modified to suit America’s culture of anti-intellectualism.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
THE BRIDE! (2026) Brian Eggert Ultimately, The Bride! succeeds more in its message than in its delivery. Many of the narrative strains feel slight or are unsatisfyingly resolved. However, it’s made so earnestly that one cannot help but admire what is clearly a labor of love.

3.5/4
Hoppers (2026) Brian Eggert Like Pixar's most memorable films, Hoppers combines silliness and sophistication in a way that feels like magic.
Posted Mar 02, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Dolly (2025) Brian Eggert Sure, Dolly is imposing. And as Rob Zombie’s output has demonstrated time after time, replicating Hooper’s aesthetic takes skill. But none of this was enough to sustain my interest, not even for less than 90 minutes.

1.5/4
Scream 7 (2026) Brian Eggert With the latest sequel, it’s apparent that this franchise has stopped its meta commentary on the horror genre and now exists solely to keep the IP alive, forgoing inspired self-awareness for sheer laziness, motivated only by commercial ambitions
Posted Feb 28, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) Brian Eggert It’s a moving, exceptionally assembled film that views McCartney as an individual talent, not just one-fourth of something greater, and begs reconsideration of this underrated period in his music. 
Posted Feb 26, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Brian Eggert It’s short at 94 minutes but feels like three hours. What’s curious is that, had the film actually run three hours and fleshed out these stories, it might’ve felt shorter, or at least more complete.

4/4
Magnolia (1999) Brian Eggert Its restless camera, onrushing music, heartbreaking monologues, and incomparable ensemble of marvelous performances generate a momentum that feels less plotted than propelled by raw emotion.

3/4
Crazy Old Lady (2025) Brian Eggert While touching on the lasting effects of Argentina’s and Spain’s traumatic pasts on subsequent generations, Mauregui crafts a disturbing thriller showcasing Maura’s exceptional talent.
Posted Feb 24, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Ghost Elephants (2025) Brian Eggert Beneath the surface of Ghost Elephants is the realization that the search is more fulfilling than the destination, and a discovery is also the death of a dream. 
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
How to Make a Killing (2026) Brian Eggert A timely morality tale, wrapped in a darkly funny and entertaining caper.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
This Is Not a Test (2025) Brian Eggert A serviceable horror movie that never quite rises above the ordinary.

3/4
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Brian Eggert Luhrmann’s doc comes from a place of deep admiration and fandom, which means he ignores many of the harder truths about his subject while making (another) statement about the performer’s complexity. Nevertheless, he presents quite a spectacle

2/4
Wuthering Heights (2026) Brian Eggert It’s an admirable production from a purely aesthetic point of view, but it conjures little genuine feeling.
Posted Feb 17, 2026  Edit critic review
4/4
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Brian Eggert It’s like watching a genius magic trick [...], except the magician bumbles around on stage and seemingly has no control over the situation, only to miraculously reveal that his haphazard energy and absurd behavior were all part of the illusion.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Pillion (2025) Brian Eggert Neither Lighton nor his movie turns this lifestyle into a voyeuristic sideshow; instead, Pillion relies on finely attuned performances and nuanced emotional stakes to enrich a thoughtful, sensitive drama about self-discovery.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
4/4
Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) Brian Eggert [It] neither makes excuses for America’s troubling history nor attempts to diminish what occurred at home during the war. Rather, it acknowledges and deplores America’s racism, and it yearns for the country to grow and learn from its troubling past.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
0.5/4
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Brian Eggert By the end, whatever squishy goodwill that was left for director Renny Harlin’s three features dries up, leaving only the depressing realization that we’ve wasted four-and-a-half hours of our lives and can’t get that time back.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Brian Eggert It boasts lofty ambitions for a zany, mind-bending comedy, and it’s all the more noble and satisfying for the inspired result.

2.5/4
Whistle (2025) Brian Eggert For those who like a good death scene, this movie has several of them, making it worthwhile for those moments but not altogether satisfying as a whole. Whistle isn’t a great horror movie, but there’s enough here to admire for those curious.  
Posted Feb 04, 2026  Edit critic review
1/4
Dracula (2025) Brian Eggert Besson makes one baffling choice after another in his blatantly derivative yet quirky English-language production, which might as well be called Luc Besson’s Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
Shelter (2026) Brian Eggert Shelter isn’t aggressively bad. But it’s not very good, either. The whole thing’s temperature lingers well below the boiling point, never quite bubbling or even getting heated enough to generate interest.

4/4
Send Help (2026) Brian Eggert Anchored by committed performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, along with a blend of social commentary and spookhouse jolts courtesy of Raimi, Send Help is the most fun moviegoing experience I’ve had in recent memory.

3.5/4
Magellan (2025) Brian Eggert It’s a formally inspired piece of work that evokes more admiration than passion, but its vision is commendably uncompromising.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
1/4
Mercy (2026) Brian Eggert It’s set on delivering a real-time murder mystery in less than 100 minutes, with only a fleeting curiosity about the moral and societal implications of the world it depicts.

0.5/4
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Brian Eggert I found the experience difficult to sit through and nonsensical from moment to moment, with its confounding story and shoddy CGI matched only by its lack of entertainment value.

2/4
The Rip (2026) Brian Eggert The Rip’s skilled ensemble and the promise of tense gunplay may be enough for some, but the unremarkable result leaves no lasting impression.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
4/4
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Brian Eggert A triumph of rich thematic storytelling and social reflection that beckons its audience to search for answers and solutions rather than act on the lizard-brained instincts and emotions that fuel humanity’s worst impulses.

4/4
The Battle of Algiers (1966) Brian Eggert With irresistible style and narrative efficiency, The Battle of Algiers mourns the conditions of colonialism, capturing the moral complexity and human toll of an imperialistic relationship between the colonizer and colonized.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Night Patrol (2025) Brian Eggert With humor and gore to spare, it’s a bloody good time that, like many exploitation movies, sneaks in a commentary on the back of its genres.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Primate (2025) Brian Eggert Primate may have benefited from another draft of the screenplay to give the material some substance and the characters some depth, but, regardless, Roberts achieves a blood-curdling, efficient B-movie. It’s simple, straightforward, and effective.

2.5/4
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Brian Eggert The follow-up feels a little less novel, but that’s usually the case with Hollywood sequels. Maybe this review has damned the sequel with faint praise, but I maintain that it’s an easy recommendation for a matinee or a casual late-night watch.

Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Brian Eggert A cherishable, perceptive work of art.

1.5/4
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Brian Eggert Dead Man’s Wire has only a surface-level interest in its characters and proves ham-fisted in its unmistakable, if meritorious commentary.

3/4
We Bury the Dead (2024) Brian Eggert What’s most affecting is Hilditch’s exploration of how death seldom allows us to achieve any real closure with loved ones who have passed, and that’s what grief is.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
3/4
The Plague (2025) Brian Eggert There’s no need for a mysterious disease, extreme violence,  or supernatural forces for the director to make his point. It’s a nerve-racking experience because we’ve all faced the kind of social pressures and torment on display here.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Song Sung Blue (2025) Brian Eggert The music helps maintain the 132-minute feature’s tempo. But throughout Song Sung Blue, I never bought into Brewer’s production, which [...] feels like it belongs on the small screen.

3/4
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Brian Eggert Those who purchase tickets will surely feel it was money well spent. However, my hope is that Cameron imbues the next visit to Pandora with different stakes that don’t feel like another retread, only bigger.

1.5/4
Ella McCay (2025) Brian Eggert A confounding and messy disappointment from a filmmaker who has turned out much better movies.

3/4
True Lies (1994) Brian Eggert While a well-executed shoot-em-up, armed with a bevy of uneven jokes and several wowing set pieces, there’s not much more to the experience than some diverting fun.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
3/4
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Brian Eggert Silent Night, Deadly Night manages to be thrilling, scary, and a little goofy. It’s sure to become a rewatched Christmastime classic for horror-obsessed households.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
2/4
100 Nights of Hero (2025) Brian Eggert [The film] has all the elements to make a delightfully nonconformist indie catered to a Gen Z audience. It’s an amusingly ironic and lushly aestheticized deconstruction of folklore, except that few of the emotional beats stick in any meaningful way.
