Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
This entertaining concert documentary has some unique 3-D visuals, but the movie isn't as groundbreaking as it's hyped up to be. Beyond the technical aspects, it's the usual mix of performance footage, predictable interviews, and fan worship scenes.

Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry
(2021)
|
Carla Hay
|
Billie Eilish: The World Is a Little Blurry is a candid visual diary of Eilish from the ages of 16 to 18, just as her pop music career began soaring to a mega-star level. This 140-minute documentary is a little too long, but it's still fairly impressive.

The Sheep Detectives
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
Even though the live-action/animated film The Sheep Detectives has an overabundance of characters, this story about a flock of sheep investigating their shepherd owner’s murder is a goofy and charming delight.

Pitt Siyapa
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
Pitt Siyapa is an onslaught of stupidity and bad performances that squander a good idea and turn it into loudly obnoxious mush. This comedy (about a single mother and her funeral business colleagues) fails miserably at juggling two different storylines.

Boulevard
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
Boulevard (adapted from the novel of the same name) is a cliché-ridden teen drama about a ‘good girl’ who falls for a ‘bad boy’ and gets caught up in a toxic love triangle. The movie problematically mishandles drug addiction issues in a romance.

Power to the People: John & Yoko Live in NYC
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
This uneven concert documentary--an extended and restored version of 1986's John Lennon Live in New York City--is vibrant, raggedy, compelling, and sometimes off-key. It's noteworthy for being Lennon's only full-length concert after the Beatles broke up.

Ek Din
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
Ek Din makes up for its redundant and predictable moments with good lead performances from Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan. This drama is a competent remake of the 2016 film One Day, a story about how amnesia and deception affect a romance.

Jetlee

Just like the hijacked plane in Jetlee, this terrible action comedy crashes and burns with chaotic incompetence. A more accurate title for this abysmal movie is Jetlag because it's so irritating, unwelcome, and exhausting.

Mermaid

People should not expect this Mermaid movie to be like the 1984 romantic comedy Splash. This Mermaid movie is a quirky, dark comedy where a mermaid is discovered by a man coping with drug addiction, depression, and nasty people.

Everyone Is Lying to You for Money
(2025)
|
Carla Hay
|
This engaging documentary, which is intended as a harsh critique of cryptocurrency, is more about confirmation bias than being hard-hitting investigative journalism. Director/producer/narrator Ben McKenzie injects some unnecessary scripted comedy.

The Devil Wears Prada 2
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
The comedy in The Devil Wears Prada 2 is more like a self-aware sitcom than 2006's charming The Devil Wears Prada. However, there's still enough to enjoy about this sequel, which parodies issues of journalism and fashion in a changing media landscape.

Hokum
(2026)
|

Hokum is an effective blend of folklore horror, manifestations of traumatic grief, and a mystery about missing people at an Irish hotel. The movie has an intertwined story about an American author confronting his own demons while visiting at the hotel.

Group: The Schopenhauer Effect
(2026)

Carla Hay

Just because this is a drama whose scenes are almost entirely of group therapy sessions doesn't mean this movie is a talkative bore. It's a dynamic and riveting portrayal of adults with highly individual personalities, insecurities, and desires.

Hamlet
(2025)

Carla Hay

The main reason to watch director Aneil Karia's 2020s version of Hamlet is Riz Ahmed's compelling performance as the protagonist. This flawed movie, based on William Shakespeare's famous play, takes some bold artistic swings with more hits than misses.

Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead
(2026)

Carla Hay
|
An embarrassing, tacky, and boring ripoff of 1963's Jason and the Argonauts and 1995's Waterworld. Kevin Costner can now rest easier knowing he didn't make the worst movie about a post-apocalyptic, underwater world damaged by melted icecaps.

This overly worshipful celebrity biopic should've been called Saint Michael. The musical performances are electrifying, but the movie portrays Michael Jackson as a perfect martyr, his father as a cartoonish villain, and everyone else as vague.

The only thing more dimwitted than the two loser protagonists in Busboys is this entire cinematic trash dump that's trying to pass as a comedy film. The jokes are as limp and shabby as the awful mullet wig that David Spade wears in this dull movie.
