28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “The fourth entry in an ever-more engrossing franchise is absolutely bonkers -- and a triumph. It mixes dark, queasy disembowelment and laugh-out-loud humor in a way that both subverts the genre and leads a way out of it, too.” – Associated Press Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 1.5/4 EDIT “Overall, it’s just not so good, so good.” – Associated Press Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3.5/4 EDIT “Santa left us a present this holiday season and it is exactly what we didn’t know we needed: A twisty, psychological horror-thriller with nudity that’s all wrapped up in an empowerment message... This naughty movie is definitely on the nice list.” – Associated Press Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 0/4 EDIT “It’s an incoherent mess, something that, back in the day, would be straight to DVD. “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” has an after-school special vibe with no real horror and no real awareness that it should.” – Associated Press Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 1.5/4 EDIT “There’s no way you can solve this one so just relax and let it stutter-stop several times to its overcooked end.” – Associated Press Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 3.5/4 EDIT “Reality and fiction beautifully weave in and out in "Jay Kelly," director Noah Baumbach's love letter to Hollywood that, in other hands, could so easily have become just a love letter to Clooney.” – Associated Press Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3/4 EDIT ““Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” does what sequels apparently must do these days -- load up the characters, return to favorite bits and go global -- but nails the trick, a crowd-pleasing return.” – Associated Press Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s hard to underestimate Fanning here, who keeps us interested. She doesn’t just add comic relief, she adds a much-needed human element.” – Associated Press Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3.5/4 EDIT “In many ways, this movie is, then, a mirror of “Nebraska” itself -- unexpected, complicated and very American gothic.” – Associated Press Oct 22, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 3/4 EDIT “Leto does well here as the title character, able to deliver a few good lines while executing a rock star strut in a skintight suit... But it’s Lee who steals the show, a very human action heroine for 2025.” – Associated Press Oct 7, 2025 Full Review All of You (2024) 71% 3/4 EDIT “Goldstein makes a good stab and showing he can be a leading man -- and also write a gentle, human romance -- and Poots is a revelation in showing raw emotion. The two have a natural chemistry tied by his humor and her laughter is genuine and touching.” – Associated Press Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Adulthood (2025) 77% 3/4 EDIT “Director Alex Winter and screenwriter Michael M.B. Galvin combine for a pitch-perfect black comedy that has a nifty satirical edge, inverting the movie convention of discovering that the kids are monsters.” – Associated Press Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 1.5/4 EDIT ““Spinal Tap II” is filled with ghosts. It’s like watching a cover band playing the hits but then realizing it’s actually the original band onstage after all.” – Associated Press Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% EDIT “Last Rights is a decent enough final cinematic prayer for this franchise, combining the personal story of the Warrens and their daughter, Judy, with a new paranormal possession that’s created a freaked-out family.” – Associated Press Sep 3, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 2/4 EDIT “There are dark marriage comedies and then there’s “The Roses,” an escalating hatefest that, by the time a loaded gun comes out, all the fun has been sucked out.” – Associated Press Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 1/4 EDIT “Somebody, anybody, should drag Odenkirk away from this nobody franchise.” – Associated Press Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “If “Barbarian” came out of left field three years ago and heralded an exciting new voice in filmmaking, “Weapons” doesn’t disappoint but it doesn’t have the advantage of surprise” – Associated Press Aug 5, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 1.5/4 EDIT “It’s hard to watch a franchise drift so expensively and pointlessly in Earth’s orbit.” – Associated Press Jul 30, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% 1.5/4 EDIT “A relaunch makes sense but it’s pretty vapid stuff until the OGs arrive. In fact, you may find yourself rooting for the killer. ” – Associated Press Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 3.5/4 EDIT “In many ways, the folks behind “Jurassic World Rebirth” are trying to do the same thing as their mercenaries: Going back to the source code to recapture the magic of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster original. They’ve thrillingly succeeded.” – Associated Press Jun 30, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% 2/4 EDIT ““M3GAN 2.0” was inevitable, but it didn’t have to be so inevitably too much.” – Associated Press Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Bride Hard (2025) 14% 0/4 EDIT “A movie, for better or for worse. In this case, much, much worse.” – Associated Press Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Taut and well crafted, a worthy birthday present to “Jaws,” celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer.” – Associated Press Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Lilo & Stitch (2025) 72% 1.5/4 EDIT “Disney should have left the original alone.” – Associated Press May 20, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Do us all a favor and see it with your buddies. And if you see a guy there all alone, maybe reach out?” – Associated Press May 7, 2025 Full Review
