6/10
Mortal Kombat II (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman Once Karl Urban enters the arena, the film becomes just self-aware enough to survive its own arcade-style ultraviolence.

6/10
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman It’s a film caught between eras. Between instinct and data. Between legacy and relevance.

7/10
Deep Water (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman "Deep Water" is loud, ridiculous, and intermittently thrilling—and it works precisely because it knows better than to pretend otherwise.

6/10
Animal Farm (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman This is a softened, watered-down version of a story built on sharp edges—one that seems almost uneasy with the very ideas it’s meant to deliver.

Michael (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman It’s a legacy-management exercise, a carefully curated attempt to sand down the rough edges of one of pop culture’s most complicated figures.

7/10
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman "Over Your Dead Body" isn’t interested in nuance. It’s a blunt instrument, a dark joke stretched to feature length.

3/10
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman "Lee Cronin’s the Mummy" is an ugly, punishing piece of work—an exploitative, "Evil Dead"- adjacent slog that mistakes extremity for impact.

5/10
Normal (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman In trying to establish a new "normal" for Odenkirk, the film ends up feeling exactly that—serviceable, familiar, and ultimately forgettable.

8/10
Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman There’s no hesitation, no philosophical detour. Just forward motion.

6/10
Hamlet (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman It doesn’t so much stage the play as relocate its anxieties into a modern bloodstream. The bones remain familiar, but the shift in tone blunts the tragic force that once felt unavoidable.

André Is an Idiot (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman … a raw, heartfelt public service announcement that desperately begs all of us to get a colonoscopy.

Project Hail Mary (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman As blockbusters go, "Project Hail Mary" potentially appeals to almost anyone.

6/10
undertone (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The feature film debut of writer/director Ian Tuason is a triumph of sound design over narrative, capably building tension but ultimately leading the viewer to a dark, empty place.

5/10
THE BRIDE! (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman It should surprise no one that "The Bride!" is sweetened up with enough post-#MeToo angst to give any red-blooded, MAGA, Epstein-era misogynist a mother f*%#ing toothache. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley would no doubt approve.

4/10
Scream 7 (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman "Scream 7" feels very much like an unintentional parody. The chuckles the movie evokes are scattershot, and the scares are nearly non-existent.

Sirāt (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Spain’s Oscar hopeful holds rhythmic power.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman "How to Make a Killing" is an unapologetic indulgence, written, directed, and performed with sophistication and forbidden delight.

7/10
Crime 101 (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman "Crime 101" is a smart, muscular, and thoughtful caper film worthy of the talent and respectful of its audience’s intellect.

Wuthering Heights (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman … an utterly devastating account of forbidden love.
Posted Feb 13, 2026  Edit critic review
5/10
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die" should be more fun. This awkwardly titled, wacky mashup feels like a loose anthology picture but without the structural guidance of a wrap-around framing device.

7/10
Dracula (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "Dracula" is an entertaining, often engaging romance and not a particularly scary movie, as the vampire gets a creative makeover.
Posted Feb 06, 2026  Edit critic review
5/10
The Wrecking Crew (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman "The Wrecking Crew" doesn’t trust the stars enough to carry the picture and injects silly elements that distract from the magnetism of the performers.

7/10
Send Help (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman Raimi’s darkly acerbic tone maintains the tension.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
4/10
Mercy (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman The AI boogieman that’s stalking Hollywood is not a new cinematic plot device. "Mercy" makes the frightful contrivance seem dated, tired, and ultimately not much of a threat.

8/10
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman It’s deftly directed, perfectly performed, and acerbically funny.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
5/10
Night Patrol (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Unfortunately, the screenplay of "Night Patrol" feels like the writing team kept brainstorming while making the film and never stopped adding things.

8/10
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman a solid middle film in what’s shaping up to be an epic science fiction/horror trilogy.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman The frightful journey is a bit of an exhausting grind, but the film’s short running time and Butler’s sturdy presence keep things humming along.

The Plague (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman … an unusual, nerve-racking, tightly wound dramatic thriller.

Marty Supreme (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman … a hugely entertaining film that sells table tennis as a supremely underappreciated sport.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman ... an inspiring, heartfelt holiday gift.

The Secret Agent (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "The Secret Agent" is a fascinating and tense thriller written with intention.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The overly busy narrative left little room for the genuine emotional connection that many viewers, like me, felt watching the original.

Dust Bunny (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Strange, bizarre, and terrifically weird, writer/director Bryan Fuller’s ambitious "Dust Bunny" should whet the appetite of fantasy fans hungry for a mature fairy tale.

Rental Family (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "Rental Family" introduces a fascinating premise but is unsure what to do with it or which characters to trust to carry the film.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman I liked Father Jud well enough, but I wanted more Blanc even if that meant nothing more than learning where he gets his suits or what brand of gin he prefers in his Negroni.

Hamnet (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The remarkable thing about "Hamnet" is that even at its blackest moments, there is beauty on display. It’s a tricky combination of stark storytelling and textured imagery.

5/10
Jay Kelly (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The goodwill on display by the lovable cast acts to undermine the movie’s message, one that should have shared Baumbach’s expected acerbic wit.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The box-checking might satisfy fans, but the rush to cover it all puts "For Good’s" closing act firmly behind its immensely emotive predecessor.

8/10
Natchez (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The finely constructed documentary feature "Natchez" is much more than a travelogue, a profile of a single place. It’s a rich and provocative exploration of America’s past and its fraught future.

5/10
The Running Man (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "The Running Man" is a scattershot, frustrating attempt to track the source material rather than using it as a jumping-off point for another of Wright’s entertaining adventures.

7/10
Nuremberg (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Nuremberg” is lavish, grand, old-school filmmaking worthy of theatrical exhibition.

7/10
Die My Love (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The film starts as a meandering, ponderous exploration of postpartum depression, but when Ramsay finally sets her hook, it digs deep.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Predator: Badlands” is the Alien-Predator mashup that fans have been craving.

Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The turgid narrative turns unforgivingly hostile, even with Colin Farrell doing solid work.

Bugonia (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The talented director’s focus should be on crafting better narratives.

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman This behind-the-scenes glimpse into movie history will entertain cineastes, but others may struggle to engage with and understand the point of it all.

Shelby Oaks (2023) Jonathan W. Hickman "Shelby Oaks" is too clean, too well produced, and too fake for its own good.
