Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 6/10 EDIT “Dual leads Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are as luminous as ever, electric whenever they’re sharing the screen together, but there’s a lot of movie to slog through to get there.” – IGN Movies Nov 18, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% 6/10 EDIT “There’s a fun slasher buried beneath the too-faithful reboot plot of the new I Know What You Did Last Summer. Unfortunately, it’s overshadowed by too many callbacks to the first movie in the series and too little originality.” – IGN Movies Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Happy Face Killer (2014) EDIT “Maybe if Happy Face was anything other than Very Serious about its subject matter, these moral lessons wouldn’t seem so confused, but, as it is, the show doesn’t have a whole lot else to offer -- more interested in having its cake and stabbing it, too.” – The Daily Beast Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Old Guy (2024) 26% EDIT “Old Guy is not going to break down any new barriers for the genre, but the performances from its trio of leads hold enough action-comedy charm to make it worth checking out. ” – The Daily Beast Jun 10, 2025 Full Review The Beast Within (2024) 40% EDIT “It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a good werewolf movie, and while The Beast Within may not be destined to be a classic, it has more up its sleeve than a pair of hairy claws.” – The Daily Beast Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Dead Mail (2024) 93% 8/10 EDIT “The movie plays its fun, spooky premise as straight as possible, while winking at the absurdity of its analog aesthetic.” – IGN Movies Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 79% 8/10 EDIT “A capably directed true-story disaster movie with a cast willing to squeeze themselves inside deep-sea diving suits, it’s helped by the knowledge that everything you’re seeing actually happened.” – IGN Movies Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Flight Risk (2025) 29% 7/10 EDIT “The character types are familiar and the story is simple, but there’s enough panache to keep it in the air right up until its explosive ending.” – IGN Movies Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Child Star (2024) EDIT “Child Star posits that exploitation is inherent, and even expected, in an industry built on the backs of people who are too young to advocate for themselves.” – The Daily Beast Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% EDIT “The whole thing has a visual style that feels original, and while the story hits familiar beats, it’s interesting enough that those beats feel fresh” – The Daily Beast Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% 7/10 EDIT “Singer doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the movie’s ickier subject matter, but there’s enough of a sense of its own absurdity that keeps Cuckoo’s grosser scare tactics feeling fresh.” – IGN Movies Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Trigger Warning (2024) 20% EDIT “Along with sexy, sweaty Regency-era romance shows and middling science-fiction movies, military and military-adjacent action movies are one of Netflix’s main exports. It’s an easy sell.” – The Daily Beast Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Gasoline Rainbow (2023) 93% EDIT “Following today’s teens’ first steps into the wide world of adulthood, Gasoline Rainbow is a melancholy, meandering road movie for a generation on the precipice.” – The Daily Beast May 13, 2024 Full Review Wildcat (2023) 59% EDIT “It’s for the fans, not the critics, and in that way shows a frustrating unwillingness to go just a little bit further, to prod just a little bit deeper. ” – The Daily Beast May 6, 2024 Full Review Prom Dates (2024) 39% EDIT “A hysterically funny odyssey through the highs and lows of a teen best friendship that pokes and prods at a familiar formula.” – The Daily Beast May 6, 2024 Full Review Stress Positions (2024) 73% EDIT “Theda Hammel’s Stress Positions... manages to be a COVID movie without being a “COVID movie,” using the pandemic as mere backdrop for a slyly hilarious comedy about life on pause.” – The Daily Beast Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) 71% 7/10 EDIT “Though some elements of the previous films are missing or altered, there are enough new additions and expertly choreographed fight scenes to make this another worthy entry into the series.” – IGN Movies Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -To the Hashira Training- (2024) 88% C+ EDIT “Is it really worth it to rewatch a recut version of story beats you’ve seen already just to get to new footage you’ll also rewatch in a few months anyway? ” – IGN Movies Feb 23, 2024 Full Review The Beekeeper (2024) 71% 6/10 EDIT “A semi-confusing script and heavy-handed direction from David Ayer muddle the proceedings, but enough inspired pizazz and Statham’s earnest delivery of lines like “I protect the hive” just barely bring it all home.” – IGN Movies Jan 11, 2024 Full Review The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) 64% 7/10 EDIT “Actors Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler are brilliant additions to the franchise with equally magnetic takes on their very different characters, but aren’t given enough time to fully flesh them out.” – IGN Movies Nov 9, 2023 Full Review The Beast (2023) 86% 6/10 EDIT “The various looming anxieties of The Beast want to make you scream, but ultimately it feels like a retread of things we’ve already seen. ” – IGN Movies Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) 95% A EDIT “Perhaps what makes “The Last Wish” a cut above the rest is the deftness with which it eases the audience into the Lesson of the Day format of most animated children’s movies.” – IndieWire Nov 27, 2022 Full Review Strange World (2022) 72% C EDIT “Strange World has the makings of a fun, pulpy adventure story, and it is, but much of the plot is bogged down in strange, unfunny dialogue and a needlessly complicated storyline. ” – IndieWire Nov 23, 2022 Full Review One Piece Film Red (2022) 97% B+ EDIT “One Piece Film: Red sails a fine line, its story beats familiar enough for the newcomers, with details as bizarre and garish as a One Piece story could possibly get.” – IndieWire Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Wendell & Wild (2022) 80% A- EDIT “Wendell & Wild feels like a comeback in many ways, while also conjuring something totally new. ” – IndieWire Oct 4, 2022 Full Review
