Descendant of the Sun (1983) Brian Orndorf There's plenty of oddity to examine with this entertaining and imaginatively crafted "Superman" riff.

B+
Salaam Bombay! (1988) Brian Orndorf Unique in its screen energy and daring in its tonality, with Nair hoping to bring attention to a dire situation of living where life seems disposable.

B-
Doomsdays (2013) Brian Orndorf Spare and maybe a bit silly, best served to viewers in a relaxed state of mind, as the offering contains no drama or urgency as it follows weeks of deceptive people committing property destruction.

B
The Gambler (1974) Brian Orndorf Caan holds it all together with his presence, giving "The Gambler" unique scenes of silent tension and internal processing to go with meatier displays of irritation.

B-
T.A.G.: The Assassination Game (1982) Brian Orndorf There's nothing here that's dramatically substantial, but there's enjoyment to be found in Castle's sheer labor to turn this tale of confrontation and sleuthing into something decently cinematic.

D+
The Dead Thing (2024) Brian Orndorf "The Dead Thing" feels too thin and remains protracted, and while it tries to stay just out of reach, Kane can't sell a more tempting journey into confusion and dismay.

B
Goodbye, Columbus (1969) Brian Orndorf It's not going to leave much of an impression with its attempt to communicate deep feelings, but there's personality and reflection to follow.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Boxcar Bertha (1972) Brian Orndorf Cinematic mastery would start to form in 1973's "Mean Streets," but Scorsese has his moments here, out to deliver the basics in Corman demands while figuring out his style and fondness for screen intensity.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
D
Body of Evidence (1992) Brian Orndorf "Body of Evidence" has Madonna willing to go where the writing leads, but she's certainly not a commanding presence in an already clunky, awkward picture.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Timecrimes (2007) Brian Orndorf The movie runs out of steam before it finds an ending, but Vigalondo provides a good hour of appealing disorientation and mystery, making for an enjoyable brain- bleeder.

B-
George A. Romero's Resident Evil (2025) Brian Orndorf Grows warm as it remembers the moviemaker, out to make sure viewers understand influence and character, which is appealing, and helps the endeavor pull out of notably dry stretches.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
D
Panic (1983) Brian Orndorf It's a shockingly dull effort, and while it contains moments of gore and touches of sexploitation, there's no sense of urgency to anything.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
D
Dead Boyz Can't Fly (1992) Brian Orndorf An aggressive picture, and not in a thrilling manner, out to punish viewers with its overkill, buttoned with a deadly serious message about the plague of American violence that becomes the only laugh in the feature.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
D+
Demonwarp (1988) Brian Orndorf Struggles with pace and excitement, going awfully slow for something clearly built to be a joyride of genre-hopping, and the general sluggishness of the feature is a tremendous disappointment to behold.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B
The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) Brian Orndorf Tends to wander as Cespedes works through atmosphere and relationships, but he's committed to a core understanding of human connection during a time of great uncertainty.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
D
Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep (2024) Brian Orndorf Falls apart almost right away, watching Ferrin remain uncertain if he wants his movie to be a nightmare machine or campy comedy, while most of the cast is no help when it comes to summoning a proper fear factor.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Out Come the Wolves (2022) Brian Orndorf "Out Come the Wolves" isn't as satisfying as it could be, though it teases some interesting complications during its first half.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Frankenhooker (1990) Brian Orndorf Henenlotter takes the long way to goofy entertainment, remaining shockingly slow with an endeavor that, amazingly, contains extraordinarily little Frankenhooker.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Scarlet Warning 666 (1974) Brian Orndorf If one can make it past the first ten minutes of the film, there's a chance for some fun to be had, with the movie gradually becoming an alt-universe "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me."
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Outbreak (1995) Brian Orndorf It's a very silly film, but it's also grandly entertaining for its first 90 minutes, watching Petersen keep things on the move as catastrophe comes for all.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
D+
Badge 373 (1973) Brian Orndorf Instead of Gene Hackman, there's Robert Duvall. And instead of nail-biting suspense and concentrated detective atmosphere, there's pure sluggishness from Koch, who can't find excitement or intensity with the overall slackness of "Badge 373."
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
D+
Faces of Death (1978) Brian Orndorf While it does supply access to grim events, most of the feature is fairly goofy, giving its audience a frustratingly messy, and eventually life-affirming (inspiring unintended laughs), sit.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) Brian Orndorf Field is splendid, and "Remarkably Bright Creatures" is graceful when it comes to investigating personal issues and Van Pelt’s somewhat fanciful ideas for friendship
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Mortal Kombat II (2026) Brian Orndorf "Mortal Kombat II" offers no noticeable creative gains in screenwriting, but it remains an entertaining endeavor, returning to the violence of it all with a more capable lead actor in Karl Urban.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
The Sheep Detectives (2026) Brian Orndorf It’s more amusing than funny, and there’s little suspense with the central murder, with everything in the film mild and a bit unfocused.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Couples Weekend (2025) Brian Orndorf "Couples Weekend" endeavors to be honest about feelings and fears, and it touches on a few sensitive areas of desires, keeping it involving as the cast plays this itchiness with pleasing intensity.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
B
The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) Brian Orndorf As a viewing experience, the feature isn’t riveting, but it’s tastefully made and capably performed, offering a slow-burn comprehension of Russian history with occasional dramatic highlights.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Affection (2025) Brian Orndorf "Affection" does fight limited ideas and somewhat sluggish pacing, and while the endeavor scores with performances and imagery, the effort often plays like a short story being stretched to fit a feature-length run time.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Hokum (2026) Brian Orndorf "Hokum" doesn’t offer quite the same kick as "Oddity," but it’s assured work that understands the power of eeriness and mystery, providing charged moments during the run time.
Posted May 01, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Swapped (2026) Brian Orndorf Isn’t incredibly inspired when it comes to animated adventuring and conflict. Still, there’s charm in parts of "Swapped," which should play very nicely with younger viewers.
Posted May 01, 2026  Edit critic review
C
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Brian Orndorf It’s all pre-digested entertainment for fans, but highlights do remain in the acting.
Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Deep Water (2026) Brian Orndorf It’s debatable if viewers really need all the syrup, as I’m sure most ticket-buyers want blood instead. Harlin has his moments though, getting "Deep Water" sufficiently worked up as disaster cinema with more than one catastrophe to manage.
Posted Apr 27, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
The Last Viking (2025) Brian Orndorf Jensen has a plan for the picture, and he executes it well, creating an enjoyably bizarre and unexpected endeavor with help from a terrific bunch of actors.
Posted Apr 27, 2026  Edit critic review
C
RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) Brian Orndorf RZA’s passion to address hate can’t magically make a semi-clumsy picture profound.
Posted Apr 27, 2026  Edit critic review
C-
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Brian Orndorf Taccone is tasked with managing the strange tone of "Over Your Dead Body," but he can’t handle the execution, manufacturing a twisty offering that isn’t particularly funny nor all that surprising.
Posted Apr 24, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Apex (2026) Brian Orndorf "Apex" remains its most potent when following the chase, tracking near-misses and torturous events, giving Theron a physical part to play while Edgerton gets a little nuts, enjoying a rare villainous turn.
Posted Apr 24, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Mother Mary (2026) Brian Orndorf "Mother Mary" is symbolic and stagey, but Lowery delivers impressive visuals throughout the picture, which help to engage when the story itself isn’t much of a draw.
Posted Apr 22, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Animal Farm (2025) Brian Orndorf Serkis and Stoller are after something flashier with the endeavor, and the cartoon-y approach does more to undermine the story’s message than help it reach young minds.
Posted Apr 22, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Michael (2026) Brian Orndorf All the rough edges have been professionally sanded down by Logan and Fuqua, and perhaps this is what the faithful wants, presented with two hours of the cuddliest, kindest Michael Jackson imaginable.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Desert Warrior (2025) Brian Orndorf There are highlights to enjoy, but it takes quite a bit of patience to wait for them.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
D+
Dirty Hands (2026) Brian Orndorf "Dirty Hands" has a few charged encounters worth studying, but not enough to support this slight offering of frayed family ties and criminal negligence.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Omaha (2025) Brian Orndorf It’s not an easy sit, but for those who usually seek out films about human experiences, Webley and Machoian generate a powerful one, using a real world situation of surrender to inspire an intimate study of desperation.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
D
Special Op: Rent-a-Cop (2026) Brian Orndorf Pretty dismal stuff, asking star Michael Jai White to find his lighter side in an endeavor that simply doesn’t have the resources to do much of anything, looking to skate by on crummy slapstick and weak stabs at humor.
Posted Apr 21, 2026  Edit critic review
C
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Brian Orndorf Cronin doesn’t have a finest sense of editing, allowing "The Mummy" to feel long and somewhat uneventful between scenes where it tries to get nuts.
Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review
C-
Roommates (2026) Brian Orndorf Levack ultimately loses control of the movie, but there’s never much filmmaking authority to begin with, leaving "Roommates" caught between a desire to be raunchy and real, killing potential in the process.
Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review
A-
Lorne (2026) Brian Orndorf The picture ultimately finds intimacy, which is greatly educational, but it’s also a grand reminder of professional achievement and influence few could ever match.
Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review
F
Busboys (2026) Brian Orndorf Lurches from scene to scene, trying to deliver a laugh riot without actually including any jokes. If there’s a worse film than "Busboys" in 2026, I’ll be shocked.
Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review
B+
Ballistic (2025) Brian Orndorf Faust is successful in his quest to make the audience feel as frustrated as Nance when she's exposed to a haunting system of capitalism and expendability, leaving viewers with plenty to think about.
Posted Apr 15, 2026  Edit critic review
D
Balls Up (2026) Brian Orndorf "Balls Up" reeks of desperation, finding the production determined to make something outrageous, not necessarily funny, following tedious Farrelly formula for the entire run time.
Posted Apr 15, 2026  Edit critic review
B
Normal (2025) Brian Orndorf A mostly entertaining (mid)western, supplying B-movie thrills while Wheatley destroys bodies and Odenkirk brings aged reserve to the part of a seasoned cop growing aware he’s in the middle of a bad situation.
