This is a true return to form, to the max. ” – Film Posers Podcast Jan 26, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 75% 7/10 EDIT “What happens when a destination isn’t a place, but a person? People We Meet on Vacation poses this question to very charming results.” – Screen Speck Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A testament to filmmaking.” – Film Posers Podcast Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “As charming as it is unforgettable. Will make you see the world in new ways.” – Film Posers Podcast Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “The best Benoit Blanc mystery so far!” – Film Posers Podcast Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Wicked: For Good is nothing without its wickedly good cast.” – Cinemania World Podcast Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 2.5/5 EDIT “If the new age of DC is one that makes fun of women's intelligence, I don't want it. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Jul 10, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% 6/10 EDIT “While it can feel like wading through muddy water as the plot unfolds like a ripened orange whose peel is being slowly swirled off with a sharp knife, there’s a perception of enchantment within the unadulterated sadness.” – Screen Speck Jun 26, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “This movie is spectacular. Definitely took me by surprise. ” – Film Posers Podcast Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% 7/10 EDIT “They say write what you know, and Song has a distinguishable talent for this. She takes parts of her life and embeds them into her work in a way that feels genuine and natural.” – Screen Speck Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 5/5 EDIT “This film is a full-on, chilling, adrenaline thrill ride. Ana de Armas' best role yet. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Fight or Flight (2024) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “It knows what it is, and it's unapologetic about it. Fun and gnarly; it's the late-night diner meal of movies.” – Film Posers Podcast Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 5/5 EDIT “The MCU is saved! Thunderbolts is a wonderful technical marvel full of thought, care, and so much attention to detail. It has brilliant chemistry, and I can't wait to see what comes next!” – Film Posers Podcast Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% 5/10 EDIT “There’s a clear message of a community’s power to overthrow tyranny with the strength of the many against the few. This comes from a studio often blinded by dollar signs, despite them featuring the same message in Wish (2023), ineffectively.” – Screen Speck Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 9/10 EDIT “Fun, audacious, and gnarly, this film is a hit. ” – Screen Speck Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 8/10 EDIT “While caricaturistic, Mickey 17 works best in its emboldened mission of poking fun at the absurd nature of today’s political leaders. Caught in the crossfire of parody and drama, there’s a little bit for every viewer in Bong Joon-ho’s latest. ” – Screen Speck Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 46% 1.5/5 EDIT “A tiring funhouse of hopes, dreams, and desires somewhat wasted in Coppola's attempts at his own Citizen Kane odyssey, yet saved by its performances. ” – Film Posers Podcast Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Anora is pure fun. Perfect mix of enchantment, eroticism, and humor. It's Pretty Woman on crack. ” – Film Posers Podcast Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 7/10 EDIT “Gladiator II whisks its audience away to the past while reflecting on the present and future. Could it have improved what we’ve witnessed before beyond simply tweaking parts here and there? Yes. But it’s one hell of an entertaining show. ” – Screen Speck Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 9/10 EDIT “In essence, the film has the influential momentum of Avengers: Infinity War… but for musical theater nerds. Instantly, it transports the viewer to a world of possibilities mixed with new and familiar sights. ” – Screen Speck Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 6/10 EDIT “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a mixed bag of chills and thrills. ” – Screen Speck Oct 24, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 8/10 EDIT “The Substance begs us to love our bodies and waves a middle finger at what a “perfect” woman should be. ” – Screen Speck Aug 20, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 73% 3/5 EDIT “MaXXXine is great because of the creativity, but as a film itself, a standalone film at that, it falls flat. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Jul 6, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “An adrenaline-filled thrill ride, and it's a perfect addition to the franchise. I was holding my breath throughout the entire film. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Furiosa [A Mad Max Saga] is creative, exhilarating, and perfect for fans of the saga and newcomers alike. It is refreshing and not to be missed. ” – Film Posers Podcast May 23, 2024 Full Review
