Movies TV Shows
Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Send Help is not only one of Sam Raimi's meanest films in years, but also his funniest. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien perfectly capture the film's dark comedy. ” – Discussing Film Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 4.5 EDIT “When the dust settles from James Cameron’s mesmerizing action set pieces, brought to life via groundbreaking VFX, Avatar: Fire and Ash proves equally effective when it is completely earnest about its characters’ emotions. ” – Discussing Film Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Timothée Chalamet delivers the kind of magnetic performance that people will be talking about for years in Marty Supreme, easily one of the best movies of 2025.” – Discussing Film Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% 2.5/5 EDIT “Despite its unique premise and a riveting lead performances from Tatiana Maslany, Osgood Perkins' Keeper fails to cross the finish line in one piece.” – Discussing Film Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Dan Trachtenberg takes the franchise to the next level in Predator: Badlands, crafting one of the most jaw-dropping sci-fi adventures of the year with a surprising amount of heart.” – Discussing Film Nov 4, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 3/5 EDIT “It's hard to genuinely recommend HIM. Football fans and horror aficionados will certainly find a lot to love here, but this script leaves much to be desired, presenting interesting themes about athletic fame and sacrifice without fully diving into them.” – Discussing Film Sep 18, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “Paul Thomas Anderson brilliantly captures the increasing political hysteria of modern America in One Battle After Another. Chase Infiniti cements herself as a movie star in the making alongside a new career-best performance from Leonardo DiCaprio. ” – Discussing Film Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 5/5 EDIT “The Long Walk is one of the most powerful Stephen King film adaptations in years, anchored by Cooper Hoffman & David Jonsson's heartbreaking performances. Their path to stardom has reached a new milestone, as audiences will be left walking away in pieces.” – Discussing Film Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Darren Aronofsky’s latest is a fresh reminder that there is a better hope for adult-oriented genre movies in the current theatrical landscape, ones that can succeed purely on the trifecta of a strong script, inspired visuals, and genuine star power. ” – Discussing Film Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite an overtly complicated story and action scenes that fizzle down to loud noise and rubbery action, Superman is salvaged by its main leading trio and James Gunn's fundamental understanding of the character. ” – Discussing Film Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 3.5/5 EDIT “While not perfect, director Gareth Edwards and writer David Koepp prove that the Jurassic World franchise still holds tons of value. Thanks to its extreme thrills and A-list star power, Rebirth is one of the most irresistible blockbusters of the summer.” – Discussing Film Jun 30, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “How to Train Your Dragon carries a soul and purpose that most live-action remakes lack. However, despite its glory, it struggles to offer audiences something entirely new, as it adheres too closely to the original plot. ” – Discussing Film Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Predator: Killer of Killers is a stunning animated achievement, taking the franchise in a new direction with endless potential. Few creatives understand the series as well as director Dan Trachtenberg, and he's thankfully just getting started. ” – Discussing Film Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% 2.5/5 EDIT “Plenty of fans will be undeniably happy that Final Destination is back after so long, but should that nostalgia-driven hunger come at the cost of a lackluster movie? At the end of the day, this is the same Final Destination movie you’ve seen before.” – Discussing Film May 13, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 75% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's hard not to get a bit sentimental thinking about the kids who are about to discover The Legend of Ochi. This is the kind of original, family-focused fantasy adventure that doesn't get made anymore, and it's more than worth seeing on the big screen.” – Discussing Film Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sinners is Ryan Coogler's most audacious work yet, creating a fresh spin on vampire horror stories to express deeply rich themes of stolen culture and appropriation. ” – Discussing Film Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “Christopher Landon's versatility is on full display in Drop, bringing a clever thriller premise to life with cunning visuals and tons of fun energy. ” – Discussing Film Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 4.5/5 EDIT “If Parasite was a commentary on how capitalism is the root of classism and social inequality, then Bong Joon-ho's satirical Mickey 17 is a hilarious yet poignant look at a future where that same capitalist greed has bled people dry of all humanity.” – Discussing Film Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 2/5 EDIT “Anthony Mackie deserves a better script and a more competent studio at his back, rather than yet another half-baked effort like this. The golden days of Marvel Studios are long gone, and something needs to change to secure its future.” – Discussing Film Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “The Ballad of Wallis Island is an effortlessly charming comedy that beautifully talks about the dramatic highs and lows of clinging to the past, while giving Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan a chance to show off their great folk singing chops. ” – Discussing Film Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Barry Jenkins crafts some inspired visuals in trying to adapt to photorealism, but the animals are still a bit too uncanny. This leads to a prequel that's just okay and won't win over any new fans. At least some of Lin-Manuel's new songs are catchy!” – Discussing Film Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 1/5 EDIT “As the last movie in Sony's Universe of Spider-Man villains, Kraven the Hunter couldn't have closed things out on a more pathetic note. This isn't like Madame Web where you can at least laugh at how bad it is. Just a total waste of time.” – Discussing Film Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 4/5 EDIT “Gladiator II doesn’t reach the same emotional heights as the original movie. However, for all the highly entertaining madness it has going for it, this legacy sequel is more than worthy.” – Discussing Film Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 2.5/5 EDIT “While Venom: The Last Dance does try to give an emotional goodbye to Eddie Brock and Venom's hilarious "bromance," too much of Tom Hardy's comedic charm is buried under Sony's unnecessary franchise setup.” – Discussing Film Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% 4.5/5 EDIT “Transformers One is exactly what the franchise needs right now. Director Josh Cooley delivers a riveting original story told with great reverence and a level of maturity that will bring fans of all ages together. ” – Discussing Film Sep 12, 2024 Full Review
