Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “White plays exactly right, with just enough emotion to break your heart, but not so much that it feels cheesy.” – Decider Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) 27% EDIT “ Prom Queen is, unfortunately, just another bland teen slasher with a few fun kills. It doesn’t come close to stealing the OG Fear Street‘s crown.” – Decider May 27, 2025 Full Review The Postcard Killings (2020) 22% EDIT “This is not a good movie. It’s a classic, generic James Patterson story where the characters have little to no personality traits whatsoever. Every character could switch lines, and it would barely change the movie.” – Decider Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Unfrosted (2024) 39% EDIT “The absurd dialogue has kids saying things like, “hot fruit lightning,” which vaguely sounds like a joke on the surface, but, in fact, is just a collection of nonsense words.” – Decider Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Power (2024) 79% EDIT “A dire plea for American citizens to realize that, with every increased police budget and new officer on the street, we are one step closer to living under an authoritarian regime.” – Decider Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Stress Positions (2024) 73% EDIT “Between the genuine laughs and thoughtful reflection his performance elicited, hopefully, this is the beginning of many lead roles for Early. Hammel, in addition to making a stellar debut as a feature writer and director, also shines on screen.” – Decider Jan 25, 2024 Full Review A Beautiful Life (2023) 43% EDIT “A Beautiful Mind is beyond clichéd—it’s borderline non-sensical.” – Decider Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Victim/Suspect (2023) 79% EDIT “Victim/Suspect is a must-watch because it demonstrates the deterrents to rape victims coming forward are far more dire than most of us realized.” – Decider Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me (2023) 38% EDIT “You Don’t Know Me is, ultimately, a shallow portrait of Smith, undermined by its own storytelling devices. Which isn’t to say it isn’t a fascinating watch. ” – Decider Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Good Grief (2023) 76% EDIT “It’s a light touch of a movie, with not very many laughs (save one hilarious Kaitlyn Dever cameo), but plenty of heart. It’s not perfect, but it is a thoughtful rumination on grief.” – Decider Jan 9, 2024 Full Review Merry Little Batman (2023) 97% EDIT “Merry Little Batman is a light-hearted, delightful Batman-themed Christmas story that is sure to put a smile on the face of Batman fans young and old.” – Decider Dec 8, 2023 Full Review The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) 64% EDIT “As soon as Peter Dinklage announced the new games, I settled into my seat, grabbed a handful of popcorn, and prepared myself to be entertained. I wasn’t disappointed.” – Decider Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Love at First Sight (2023) 76% EDIT “There’s no doubt that Richardson and Hardy elevate the material. But the specificity of these two characters goes a long way, too.” – Decider Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Your Place or Mine (2023) 31% EDIT “The opening is the worst scene in the movie... Your Place or Mine missed its one shot to make us care about Peter and Debbie getting together, and as a result, the next 80 minutes they spend apart is a slog.” – Decider Feb 11, 2023 Full Review Fair Play (2023) 86% EDIT “... Despite a somewhat underdeveloped third act, the movie eventually finds its way to a satisfying conclusion that managed to make me cheer for Wall Street corruption.” – Decider Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023) 32% EDIT “The plot meanders, the exposition-heavy dialogue feels lazy, and no one has any freakin’ chemistry. ” – Decider Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Darby and the Dead (2022) 56% EDIT “This teen movie formula was due for an upgrade, and Darby and the Dead delivered in spades. ” – Decider Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Spirited (2022) 70% EDIT “What really makes Spirited sing isn’t the singing at all—it’s the script. In addition to an entertaining story, believable characters, and several fun twists that I won’t spoil here, Spirited comes with a surprisingly nuanced social commentary. ” – Decider Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Enola Holmes 2 (2022) 93% EDIT “While the first Enola Holmes proved itself a worthy entry in the Arthur Conan Doyle-verse, this new mystery is neither as sharp nor as satisfying. But you’ll be having so much fun with the characters, it almost doesn’t matter.” – Decider Oct 29, 2022 Full Review The School for Good and Evil (2022) 38% EDIT “If you come for the king, you best not miss. And unfortunately, The School for Good and Evil missed.” – Decider Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Halftime (2022) 82% EDIT “Halftime feels refreshingly honest—or, at least, as honest as pop star documentaries tend to get—even if it can’t quite find its way to an overall satisfying narrative.” – Decider Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Am I OK? (2022) 81% EDIT “Directors Notaro and Allynne deserve credit for so clearly understanding Johnson's appeal, and for using her charm to their full advantage.” – Decider Feb 1, 2022 Full Review Sharp Stick (2022) 50% EDIT “Some will feel a spark with Sharp Stick, and others won't. But for those that do, it will be very good indeed.” – Decider Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Cinderella (2021) 41% EDIT “Cabello proves she's a capable comedic actor, particularly when she's fibbing her way through high society, or stumbling over her words when a queen asks where she got her dress.” – Decider Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed (2021) 79% EDIT “The frustrating thing about Happy Accidents is that the most bizarre and confusing parts of the story are crammed into the film's final minutes...” – Decider Aug 24, 2021 Full Review
