H Is for Hawk (2025) 78% EDIT “H is for Hawk has a warmth and kindness at its core, in the end expressing that pain is natural and freedom can be achieved by trying something new that puts us in contact with another form of life.” – Entertainment Voice Jan 27, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% EDIT “Nothing in “The Bone Temple” feels like the cycles of a typical sequel.” – Entertainment Voice Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% EDIT “The Rip is, in a good way, simple entertainment, which is never easy to do well. A good case is opened and the payoff satisfies.” – Entertainment Voice Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “It is hard to beat fact and Jackman and Hudson remarkably make the characters their own.” – Entertainment Voice Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “ Yet, the more enjoyable angle of the movie is a recycled but well done take on childhood buddies as aspiring artists. ” – Entertainment Voice Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “By the climactic final match, we root for him despite his glaring personal flaws, because ambition on this scale can be infectious. ” – Entertainment Voice Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “This is a worthy, rousing third serving of a groundbreaking franchise that may not equal its predecessors, but remains great pop art.” – Entertainment Voice Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% EDIT “Cooper never lets the material slide into some kind of hopeless, acidic take on a crumbling marriage. In the end, this is a feel-good movie that knows not all separations are bloodbaths.” – Entertainment Voice Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “Beyond the idea of the creatives trying to make it, “Merrily We Roll Along” has a special power in the way it addresses the passage of time. The story asks us to reflect on where we have come from, as opposed to being obsessed with the future. ” – Entertainment Voice Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “Paul Mescal’s portrayal of the historical icon is measured, subtly giving him those touches of the creative whose mind is always somewhere else, then displaying a fragile sensitivity in the face of genuine pain.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% EDIT “When it works is a convincing study at the emotional toll it sometimes takes to get there.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Now complete, Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked” is a spectacle that does feel like it defies gravity.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% EDIT “Keeper works even if the symbolism gets lost in the haze.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 19, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “Wright remains a wonderfully visual director who crafts images of incredible detail. “The Running Man” would do better catching its breath, but what it’s trying to say can be chillingly familiar.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% EDIT “Nuremberg on the surface may look like another Oscar season World War II movie, yet it may be one of the season’s most relevant films.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% EDIT “Christy may not be the boxing movie sports fans will expect, which is its value. It presents Christy Martin as an individual, not just an impressive athlete, who found herself in a situation many have fallen into with or without fighting skills.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “This director is so talented and the actors so committed, that this movie never becomes boring.” – Entertainment Voice Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% EDIT “Maybe Berger wanted to have some fun. His film gets caught up in its own fever and loses its focus, with Farrell’s great mania keeping it somewhat together. ” – Entertainment Voice Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “Jeremy Allen White’s performance deserves acknowledgement for its potent restraint. He has the perfect visage to play a singer who also embodies a rugged, working class American ethos.” – Entertainment Voice Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% EDIT “The score by Jerskin Fendrix has a Hitchcock thriller feel where the screeching violins underscore the suspense. Then there are the performances, which do reach moments of brilliance.” – Entertainment Voice Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “Some filmmakers wait decades to make a passion project and somehow fumble. “Frankenstein” is a master craftsman rejuvenating a true classic with affection and great imagination in every frame. ” – Entertainment Voice Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% EDIT “It is a funny little parable in the tradition of classic angel and life-swapping stories, where characters learn universal life lessons. Ansari’s screenplay keeps it simple but adds just enough melancholy.” – Entertainment Voice Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “Derrickson is an expert at jump scares and ramps up the moodiness and gore. As with its predecessor, atmosphere helps gloss over some of the script’s rougher edges.” – Entertainment Voice Oct 17, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “After the Hunt is a collection of sketches consisting of scattered ideas about various cultural topics. ” – Entertainment Voice Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “Roofman is never less than fascinating and like any good story, we’re fully involved in wanting to know just when Jeffrey’s scheme in the toy store will come crashing down, as it must. In a rare feat, the human element shines above the caper.” – Entertainment Voice Oct 10, 2025 Full Review
