Sinners is an electric film sparkling with energy and passion.

Bryce Dallas Howard imbues Pets with so much heart that it transcends from a pleasant fluff piece to an honest and thought-provoking look at life and loss... while still being pretty damn cute.

The Teacher is not what it sets out to be. It is too melodramatic, too bloated, and too messy to work.

Gunslingers can't quite escape feeling like forgettable VOD junk. It does at least try to rise above its standing, and, at times, it comes close to pulling it off.

While G20 doesn’t always rise to meet Davis at her level, it’s a performance that elevates even the weakest beats, giving audiences a satisfying, if uneven, ride.

The film is at its best when Heller is executing novel kills or blackmailing his bosses, and we're given just enough of those adrenaline-pumping scenes to make it all work together well. The Amateur strikes that delicate balance often (though not universally), but it works well enough when it counts, for an outing worth seeing.

Group Therapy recognizes that mental health journeys are as complex as the eclectic group at its center, and in managing to communicate this with the same kind of easy storytelling as the best comedy movies, it becomes one of the most important discussions of mental health that viewers can watch today.

I do believe that there was a scenario where A Minecraft Movie could have been the next Lego Movie. That's clearly what Warner Bros. likely wanted out of this, but instead, we're left with a mostly disposable live-action family movie that will certainly please the young ones in the audience and will be tolerated by the parents.

The problem is that these types of films feel lazy and could do so much more with their concepts, and while Screamboat tries to combat that with tame references, winks at the audience, and absurd violence, it can’t keep itself afloat.

With a limited budget and a lot of dedication to the craft, the project is able to build on its references to thrillers from the '70s and '80s while finding its own footing.

The Australian film has no pretense of being realistic, which is why it is so easy to buy into, allowing us to enjoy this unabashed romp into toxic family dynamics, seizing the glory days and (twisted) sexual repression.

With two movies under their belt, Statham and Ayer have proved to be the perfect match for delivering entertaining and simple action flicks to the big screen.

Even though the romantic elements aren't as rewarding as the familial ties at the heart of The Life List, the project still has its merits. From Carson's captivating depiction of Alex to Britton's warm and motherly presence, there are parts of this film that will be enjoyable for a viewer looking for something sweet and emotional to tune into for an hour and a half.

There's an excellent film somewhere in The Woman in the Yard, but it would take another draft to uncover it from beneath that jet-black burial shroud. Suffice it to say, it's a horror outing that works rather well until it falls apart at the end.

The result is one of the best films of 2025 so far, successfully capturing the grim, brutal, and unpredictable nature of warfare that only a handful of feature films truly have.

Summer of 69 is one of the best movies that American High has put out and is the first teen movie in a while that successfully harkens back to the high school-set movies of yesteryear.

The Luckiest Man in America is a strong story when it sticks to the facts, and Hauser is undeniably an excellent choice for this role, but the film really presses its luck by taking such huge liberties with the facts.

The movie shines the brightest, harshest light on Kaufman, and still ends up seeing nothing more than a silhouette. What was it all about? We may never know, but Thank You Very Much is about as close as we may get.

It Ends takes viewers for a terrifying ride in unexpected ways.

There’s a fascinating movie to be made about this period and these characters, but Ott's telling is simply not up to the task.

It’s a clever reinvention of commonly distraught themes, teaching an old dog new tricks with a dreadfully cosmic twist.

It's a strong and highly watchable thriller that shouldn't be missed.

There is a simplistic charm to the movie that captures the strange in-between times of the early 2000s.

Bloody Axe Wound may not be a satirical masterpiece, a profound coming-of-age work or a belly-aching comedy, but its surface is shiny enough to guarantee a bloody good time while watching it -- just don't bite the blade any deeper.

Locked is a really slick, tightly-spun crime thriller that seems to take a good deal of inspiration from Joel Schumacher's Phone Booth.

Snow White deserved an update of sorts, and this is an admirable new take that certainly is one of the better live-action remakes from Disney. It might not be the fairest Snow White of all, but it's an admirable effort nonetheless.

It's a real shame that The Alto Knights doesn't explore its real-life story as thoroughly as it should have, as there is a genuinely interesting story to tell here. The film details historical events that didn't just dramatically impact the shadowy world of organized crime, it changed the public perception of the Mafia forever. The Alto Knights perhaps would have been better served if it had been a documentary narrated by one Robert De Niro instead of a meandering feature film that stars two.

Not only will you get to revisit old favorites and feelings, but you’ll be taken to places you’ve never been before. Thus is the power of music and the magnificent, inimitable Hans Zimmer.
