North (1994) 12% EDIT “It wouldn't matter that none of this makes sense if Reiner's vision turned out to be entertainingly bizarre, but it's not; it is, rather, indescribably flat (and flatulent).” – New York Post Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “Well-acted but oppressively melancholy, the film offers a consistently sympathetic treatment of suffering and persecution, with reconstructed songs and dances conveying an unusual, austere spirituality.” – The Michael Medved Show Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% EDIT “Despite moments of humor and charm, The American President proves that filmmaker Rob Reiner knows a good deal more about romance than he does about politics. ” – New York Post Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 3 EDIT “Expertly crafted, richly engaging, and consistently funny... Will Arnett shines, the writing is sharp, and the film gives its characters depth and humanity.” – The Michael Medved Show Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “A powerful, draining experience that lingers long after the credits, SENTIMENTAL VALUE is beautifully acted, emotionally intense, and visually striking, with standout performances across the cast.” – The Michael Medved Show Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “Adam Sandler’s earnest performance and George Clooney’s movie-star ease keep JAY KELLY engaging, with lively cameos and glossy European flair. But its one-sided sympathy and shallow treatment of celebrity leave it more sweet than substantial.” – The Michael Medved Show Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Don't miss MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG — it's inventive and brilliantly acted, with Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame showing off impressive musical as well as dramatic gifts.” – The Michael Medved Show Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “Profoundly powerful and totally riveting — SINNERS is a thrilling, blood-soaked ride from Ryan Coogler that grips you all the way to its explosive conclusion.” – The Michael Medved Show Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 3/4 EDIT “Haunting and beautifully crafted, Hamnet offers a moving glimpse into Shakespeare’s personal tragedy, anchored by powerful performances that linger long after the credits roll.” – The Michael Medved Show Dec 12, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “The entire middle section of the movie begins to sag, but it is bracketed by extended action sequences so brilliantly and breathlessly staged that most moviegoers will happily forgive and forget this film's slower moments. ” – New York Post Dec 10, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 2/4 EDIT “A stilted academic melodrama that never finds a definitive or satisfying resolution.” – The Michael Medved Show Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3/4 EDIT “This gloriously crafted and profoundly disturbing chiller generates unexpected sympathy for characters who don’t really know what to do with the godlike power they have achieved.” – The Michael Medved Show Dec 3, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “A long, arduous, and often frustrating battle with nightmarish violence—DiCaprio is strong, but Sean Penn steals every scene in Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest.” – The Michael Medved Show Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 4/4 EDIT “People who remember the Nuremberg trials will find few surprises in the plot, but the movie is gripping from beginning to end, with particularly effective use of actual film footage showing the unspeakable evil exposed at the liberated death camps. ” – The Michael Medved Show Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Richard Linkletter provides expert direction for a project that might have seemed claustrophobic—with nearly all of its running time set in a mostly deserted bar—but the acting is universally at the highest level.” – The Michael Medved Show Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Truth & Treason (2025) 83% 4/4 EDIT “A remarkable, unforgettable story brought to life with superb performances—one of the most memorable films of the year.” – The Michael Medved Show Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Lost Bus (2025) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “The special effects are superb, making this film a true thriller that grips your attention from beginning to end.” – The Michael Medved Show Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% EDIT “"Casper" isn't the worst movie ever associated with the Spielberg name,...but it is easily the dullest, despite attempts by the screenwriters...to fill up the emptiness with a frenetic and absurdly convoluted plot.” – New York Post Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Hard Eight (1996) 82% EDIT “On his first roll of the directorial dice, young Anderson may not break the bank, but he still beats the odds by coming out substantially ahead.” – New York Post Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 3/4 EDIT “The film is gorgeous to look at and occasionally touching, but for people who are new to this series, the identity of the characters and their relationships can be occasionally confusing.” – The Michael Medved Show Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 4/4 EDIT “For all those who thoroughly enjoyed the first film, this release is a comedic gift with the same goofiness and irresistible humor that tens of millions previously enjoyed. ” – The Michael Medved Show Sep 16, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 92% 2/4 EDIT “Despite all the acclaim, it's really not very good, with overwrought hammy vocal performances, bizarrely but artfully drawn characters, and a plot that combines predictability with some feeble attempts at profundity. ” – The Michael Medved Show Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Babe (1995) 98% EDIT “This altogether admirable Australian import is so witty, so sophisticated, so touching, so wildly inventive and so gorgeously crafted that it's a joy to watch from the first frame to the last.” – New York Post Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “...these projects aren't so much movies as they are fast-moving collections of gags, so the only significant question is whether the gags work and the answer here is a qualified yes.” – New York Post Jul 22, 2025 Full Review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% EDIT “A pale, fuzzy, unfocused copy that is altogether lacking in vitality. In fact, no other film in Steven Spielberg's astonishing career -- no, not even 1941 -- has seemed so emotionless, formulaic and calculating.” – New York Post Jun 30, 2025 Full Review
