Night Patrol (2025) 59% 6/10 EDIT “What could have been a tightly controlled genre statement becomes a film wrestling with its own ambition. The idea is strong enough that you wish the movie trusted it more instead of trying to outdo itself.” – The Movie Blog Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 8/10 EDIT “Avatar: Fire and Ash is a solid chapter in a franchise that once redefined what blockbuster storytelling could be, although it is disappointing to not see more from this film.” – The Movie Blog Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 8.5/10 EDIT “Marty Supreme is a wild ride anchored by a performance that might be one of Chalamet’s best. It’s stylish, chaotic, and completely unpredictable, and it delivers a version of New York and table tennis you never knew you needed.” – The Movie Blog Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Aftershock: The Nicole P. Bell Story (2025) 7/10 EDIT “Aftershock: The Nicole P. Bell Story is painful, emotional, and unflinchingly honest. Even with pacing issues, predictable writing, and some TV-movie elements, the film succeeds because its emotional core is strong. ” – The Movie Blog Nov 24, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 8/10 EDIT “In Your Dreams delivers a heartfelt and visually rich adventure that mixes big laughs with real emotional weight. Netflix’s animation looks theatrical, the sibling relationship carries the heart of the story, and Baloney Tony steals scenes.” – The Movie Blog Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 8/10 EDIT “Predator: Badlands is the kind of sci-fi action film that punches first and explains later, and that's its charm. It’s feral, fresh, and surprisingly heartfelt, giving the Predator franchise something it hasn’t had in years: new blood that feels earned.” – The Movie Blog Nov 4, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 8.7/10 EDIT “One Battle After Another is Paul Thomas Anderson at his boldest. DiCaprio grounds the chaos with vulnerability, Penn oozes menace, Teyana Taylor’s Perfidia Beverly Hills is unforgettable, and Del Toro slips into the story like a quiet storm. ” – The Movie Blog Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 3.4/5 EDIT “The Long Walk isn’t for everyone, and honestly, I’m still unpacking how I feel about it. There’s a powerful movie buried in here. Whether it walks far enough to reach you? That depends on how much you’re willing to endure.” – The Movie Blog Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% 9/10 EDIT “Highest 2 Lowest is a late-career gem from two cultural giants. Spike brings the visuals and the pulse of a city he loves, while Denzel Washington turns in a performance that feels like a swan song in the making. It’s not flawless, but it’s resonant. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Road House (2024) 59% 8/10 EDIT “Look, this movie isn’t trying to win Oscars. It’s here to entertain you with a healthy dose of action, humor, and Florida weirdness. If you’re looking for a film with a plot tighter than a boa constrictor’s grip, this might not be it. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Civil War 2024 is a visually stunning film with a phenomenal cast. While a misleading premise and a confusing soundtrack hold it back, the film delivers a powerful character study set against a war-torn backdrop. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Boy Kills World (2023) 58% 7/10 EDIT “Boy Kills World is a wild ride from start to finish. It’s a movie you watch for the insane action sequences, the WTF moments, and the sheer audacity of it all. Just don’t go in expecting a deep and meaningful story.” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Real Estate Sisters (2024) 7/10 EDIT ““Real Estate Sisters” is a thoroughly enjoyable and heartwarming ride. It’s a celebration of sisterhood, South African culture, and the hustle it takes to chase your dreams – even if those dreams involve dodging suspicious dead bodies.” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 7.5/10 EDIT ““Furiosa” is a visually stunning action flick that takes you deep into the wasteland and the origin story of a badass warrior queen. However, the pacing drags a bit in spots, and the love story feels like a detour. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 7/10 EDIT “Twisters is a mixed bag. It delivers on the thrill and excitement of storm chasing, with standout performances. However, the movie is also predictable, with some performances feeling restrained and unnecessary subplots that detract from the main story. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% EDIT “So, is Alien Romulus tied more closely to the original film than any other in the franchise? Absolutely. It’s got the DNA of the original Alien, but with enough new material to keep you guessing. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 7.5/10 EDIT “If you’re here for the nostalgia and to see Michael Keaton back in his iconic role, you won’t be disappointed. However, if you’re looking for a deeper dive into the world of the strange and unusual, you might find yourself wanting a bit more.” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 7/10 EDIT “Weapons is bold, bizarre, and bursting with ideas, but not all of them land. Zach Cregger swings for the fences again, and while he connects more than he misses, some of those wild pitches leave you wishing he’d just committed to one lane.” – The Movie Blog Aug 7, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 6/10 EDIT “The Naked Gun reboot is strictly for the fans. If you love the original movies, you’ll find a few nostalgic laughs here and there. But for newcomers, it might feel like a relic from another era - complete with jokes that need a manual to understand.” – The Movie Blog Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Caddo Lake (2024) 77% 7/10 EDIT “Caddo Lake may not be for everyone, but it’s definitely a conversation starter. It’s the kind of film you’ll want to discuss afterward, trying to figure out how all the pieces fit—or if they even fit at all. It’s messy, confusing, and at times brilliant.” – The Movie Blog Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% EDIT “For those loyal to the first film, there are just enough callbacks and familiar faces to make this feel like a fitting continuation. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Lee (2023) 68% 7.7/10 EDIT “Lee is a visually stunning, emotionally charged exploration of war, art, and identity. While the film’s pacing may frustrate some, its moments of brilliance more than compensate.” – The Movie Blog Aug 4, 2025 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) 49% 7.7/10 EDIT “The War of the Rohirrim is a thrilling ride, packed with epic battles, emotional moments, and standout performances. While it feels more like Game of Thrones than traditional Lord of the Rings, it’s a worthy addition to Middle-earth’s cinematic legacy.” – The Movie Blog Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 78% 7/10 EDIT “Heart Eyes knows exactly what it is and fully commits to the chaos. The jump scares are effective, the comedy lands, and the action moves at full speed. It is a Scream clone in all the best ways, with just enough originality to carve out its own space.” – The Movie Blog Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 18% 6.5/10 EDIT “Love Hurts thrives when it sticks to action and humor. The fight scenes are creative, the camera work is slick, and Marshawn Lynch is an unexpected MVP. But when it shifts to romance, things get shaky. ” – The Movie Blog Aug 4, 2025 Full Review
