4/5
Brian (2026) Rachel Tolleson [Ben] Wang is the heart of this film, but the rest of the cast is its blood vessels. They work together as a whole to deliver a heartwarming story of adolescence, self-discovery, and family.

They Will Kill You (2026) Rachel Leishman It has been a while since we’ve had a movie as weird and fun as this one.

I Love Boosters (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

Normal (2025) Rachel Tolleson Normal is fun. It’s also high-octane. It’s a great way to spend 90 minutes, especially once its pace picks up.

Drag (2026) Rachel Tolleson The film is a series of misfortunes that you just can’t help but watch.

4/5
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

5/5
Hokum (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Rachel Tolleson Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is as audacious as it is bloody.

4.5/5
undertone (2025) Rachel Tolleson undertone excels by being the sum of all of its parts. It’s scary, but it’s also emotional.

4/5
Forbidden Fruits (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

4.5/5
Power Ballad (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.
Posted Mar 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Wishful Thinking (2026) Rachel Leishman The comedic beats and brilliance of Wishful Thinking makes it a fun watch but it really is the romantic moments that stay with you.

5/5
Project Hail Mary (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

4/5
THE BRIDE! (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

3/5
Scream 7 (2026) Rachel Tolleson While the original installations weren’t so much about the gore as they were about the mystery, Scream 7 does do a good job of marrying both.

4.5/5
Hoppers (2026) Rachel Leishman Hoppers is for all those kids who see an animal and instantly want to pet it.

4.5/5
How to Make a Killing (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

Hamlet (2025) Sandeep Sandhu Hamlet sparkles with great performances and even better cinematography and music.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Rachel Leishman What makes Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die such a good movie is its message

3.5/5
Crime 101 (2026) Rachel Tolleson With minimal dialogue and a shock of bleached-blond hair, Keoghan gives the film its edge, elevating it from a simple noir into the high-octane thriller we see as the story progresses.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Rachel Leishman 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.

5/5
The Muppet Show (2026) Rachel Leishman You will cry over how much the Muppets continue to be the best because that’s what has always made The Muppet Show special.

Pillion (2025) Rachel Tolleson Melling and Skarsgard play beautifully off each other.

Arco (2025) Jenna Anderson By the time I got to the last few scenes of Arco, I found that the movie had taken my breath away. Not because of the stunning flying sequences, but because of the poignant emotional core.

4/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Rachel Leishman 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 Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Rachel Leishman 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.

4/5
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) Rachel Leishman 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 Housemaid (2025) Rachel Leishman The Housemaid is a wild time but well worth the trip to the cinema for.

3/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Rachel Leishman 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.

Oh. What. Fun. (2025) Leah Marilla Thomas There are little moments sprinkled throughout that make even the quiet scenes that much more human.

Marty Supreme (2025) Rachel Leishman 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.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Rachel Leishman 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.

In Your Dreams (2025) Rachel Leishman It is original, fun, and yes, I kind of want to live in the breakfast world even when everything ends up moldy.

3.5/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) Rachel Leishman 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.

Keeper (2025) Rachel Leishman While Keeper is Perkins’ weakest film yet, it is still a fascinating watch from beginning to end.

The Running Man (2025) Rachel Leishman The Running Man harkens back to the Harrison Ford days when you always knew you were in for a good time with one of his action movies. And I’ve missed this kind of action film.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Rachel Leishman If you love this franchise for the fun magic tricks and the sometimes cheesy jokes, you’re in for a great time and hey, what if we make more of these movies just for fun?
Posted Nov 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers (2025) Rachel Leishman Wuornos’ story isn’t easy to watch but Turner did something new with the true crime genre and it is well worth the watch!

4/5
Predator: Badlands (2025) Rachel Leishman Call me a girl for wanting character arcs and motivations but I do think that Badlands shines because you understand why these Youtjas are all so determined.

5/5
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Rachel Leishman Visionary and contained, this movie proves why Johnson is a master of this genre and I would watch 200 more of these movies with Daniel Craig at the center of them.
Posted Nov 04, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Christy (2025) Rachel Leishman Biopics aren’t easy but Christy allows its main character to be flawed and real in a way that we haven’t seen a lot of. But it is a hard film to watch.

3/5
Regretting You (2025) Rachel Leishman The romantic moments are sweet, it has its lighter moments, and I am sure if you love Hoover’s novel, you’ll have a wonderful time with Regretting You.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Rachel Leishman It isn’t for the faint of heart and will make you think but it is worthwhile.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Rachel Leishman Go to the cinema for White’s performance and Jeremy Strong having the time of his life but stay for one of the greatest albums ever written.

Blue Moon (2025) Rachel Leishman Blue Moon is up there with some of Linklater’s most beloved film and for good reason.

5/5
Hamnet (2025) Rachel Leishman What I loved so much about Hamnet is that Zhao allows us to understand Agnes’ love and pain and while Shakespeare is very much a character within that story, it is Agnes’ to tell.

4.5/5
Frankenstein (2025) Rachel Leishman Del Toro’s work understands the deeper themes present in Shelley’s novel and captures the essence of her work in stunning moments, all to remind us how to be human.

3.5/5
Black Phone 2 (2025) Rachel Leishman What makes Black Phone 2 a worthy sequel is that the fear and the hold that the Grabber has over the Blake children is still there, even when he’s not.

Roofman (2025) Rachel Leishman Tatum’s work as Jeffrey is a perfect character study and one made that much better with the scenes between Leigh and Jeff.
