Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 51% 7/10 EDIT “Migration is a preposterous yet grounded thriller thanks to good performances and centered on a desperate, hopeful plight. Honestly, watch the first movie: It's fun, but you actually don't have to have seen it to enjoy Migration.” – IGN Movies Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 7/10 EDIT “Sweeney, to her credit, is quite excellent though and it's because of her that any forward momentum is found within the film.” – IGN Movies Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% 8/10 EDIT “A witty, warm, celestial comedy of errors that splendidly blends the wry world of the Frat Pack with the dopiness of Bill & Ted. It's got great performances and offers a fresh, funny look at modern hardships. ” – IGN Movies Oct 16, 2025 Full Review The Astronaut (2025) 42% 5/10 EDIT “Mara's paranoiac cat-and-mouse game with lurking shadows will draw in moviegoers seeking scares, but it doesn't deliver the goods.” – IGN Movies Oct 15, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 6/10 EDIT “It takes a catastrophic "What If?" scenario that we, as citizens, can do absolutely nothing about, even on a small level, and just sets it adrift.” – IGN Movies Oct 14, 2025 Full Review The Union (2024) 35% 4/10 EDIT “The Union may have notable names in its cast and big-budget action to pass the time, but it's unchallenging and rote to the point of being downright hollow. ” – IGN Movies Aug 16, 2024 Full Review The Stranger (2024) 50% 7/10 EDIT “The performances here, particularly that of elevated horror queen Maika Monroe, enhance the straightforward story and give weight to a scenario that grows more preposterous with each passing act.” – IGN Movies Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Dead for a Dollar (2022) 53% 5/10 EDIT “Dead for a Dollar is a meandering shoot 'em up with no clear direction other than to gently fritter away the talents of a strong ensemble.” – IGN Movies Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Do Revenge (2022) 86% 5/10 EDIT “Do Revenge, sadly, has too many ideas in play, making the end result a watered-down attempt at something that could have had more bite. ” – IGN Movies Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Confess, Fletch (2022) 86% 8/10 EDIT “Confess, Fletch is a clever soft-baked cookie of a mystery, never getting too intense or presenting massive stakes, which is the perfect sandbox for a wise-cracking investigator like Fletch to play around in.” – IGN Movies Sep 16, 2022 Full Review House of Darkness (2022) 60% 5/10 EDIT “The performances are solid and the experiment is more than clear but it overstays its welcome about mid-way and never offers more than new rooms of the house to explore and one more person to talk to beyond the starting duo. ” – IGN Movies Sep 9, 2022 Full Review I Came By (2022) 70% 7/10 EDIT “I Came By is a small-but-gripping flick that takes a well-used premise and gives it enough narrative zest to provide a few surprises. ” – IGN Movies Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Me Time (2022) 7% 5/10 EDIT “Me Time has bursts of energy and vibrancy, mostly involving its two leads and their snappy chemistry, but it's also a hodgepodge of predictable buddy comedy beats that doesn't do much to separate itself from what's come before. ” – IGN Movies Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (2022) 56% 6/10 EDIT “A crass cyclone of jokes and japes that lovingly presents itself as a Mel Brooks movie remake, with Brooks' blessing and participation. This unique quality helps distinguish the project, even though the gags will elicit more eye-rolls than laughs.” – IGN Movies Jul 15, 2022 Full Review Don't Make Me Go (2022) 50% 5/10 EDIT “Stars John Cho and Mia Isaac are exemplary here, creating a warm and genuine father/daughter bond filled with love and tension. Ultimately though, Don't Make Me Go winds up unraveling due to an acidic finish.” – IGN Movies Jul 14, 2022 Full Review The Sea Beast (2022) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Despite the story itself needing a shave, The Sea Beast is a sweet, delightful distraction filled with maritime monster melees, a solid emotional core, and bewitching visuals. ” – IGN Movies Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Hustle (2022) 94% 7/10 EDIT “The soft downside of Hustle is that it's unnervingly conventional, and at times it goes overboard with its use of famous faces, but in the end it's still an effective, traditional underdog movie that hits all the right notes.” – IGN Movies Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers isn't the first movie to do what it's doing, but it's damn fun and one of the cleverest uses of elder pop culture properties in a while. ” – IGN Movies May 18, 2022 Full Review Firestarter (2022) 10% 5/10 EDIT “Despite solid performances from Zac Efron and Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Firestarter feels stifled in story and presentation.” – IGN Movies May 13, 2022 Full Review Moonshot (2022) 62% 7/10 EDIT “Cole Sprouse and Lana Condor are a fun duo, capable of feeling human and endearing in the midst of cosmic turmoil. The movie's not a full home run, but it's surprisingly silly and shrewd.” – IGN Movies Apr 25, 2022 Full Review The Cellar (2022) 31% 5/10 EDIT “The Cellar has the right tone, textures, and location for a creepfest -- and the story builds in a safe, traditional manner -- but it feels empty in the end, as the reveal doesn't feel worth the journey. ” – IGN Movies Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Metal Lords (2022) 62% 5/10 EDIT “Metal Lords is earnest with metal but sloppy with character and story. It delivers a rousing finale but the journey there is uninspired and half-formed. ” – IGN Movies Apr 8, 2022 Full Review The Bubble (2022) 20% 6/10 EDIT “The big, impressive cast is witty, wicked, and well-versed in comedy and the film's not laugh-free. It lands ludicrous moments, big and small, for a perfectly okay journey into celebu-tantrums.” – IGN Movies Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Cheaper by the Dozen (2022) 36% 6/10 EDIT “The updates made to Cheaper by the Dozen work to better explain how such a large family exists, and functions, while the episodic, chapter-book quality of the storytelling serves the big ensemble well. ” – IGN Movies Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Black Crab (2022) 53% 6/10 EDIT “Black Crab has all the ingredients to grab you and take you on a thrill ride -- and at times it achieves this -- but it suffers partial collapse by the end because of its need to land a little loftier than necessary.” – IGN Movies Mar 18, 2022 Full Review
