We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 3/5 EDIT “... a thoughtful, restrained take on the zombie film genre.” – Should I See It Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% 3/5 EDIT “With an audience, Primate was fun. The person behind me kept kicking my seat out of nervousness, anxiousness, and not being able to sit still. I didn’t mind.” – Should I See It Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Few actors could maintain consistency in a film like this, but Chalamet makes this high-wire act look effortless” – Should I See It Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “Whatever the future holds for this franchise, it is clear we have clearly reached the point where Avatar is struggling to justify its relevance. ” – Should I See It Dec 21, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Chu may have proven those skeptics right after all, as he delivers a (sequel) that never truly justifies its own existence.” – Should I See It Nov 24, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Rose Byrne gives a career-best performance - raw, unpredictable, and impossible to turn away from.” – Should I See It Oct 26, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Ethan Hawke gives a career-defining performance as Lorenz Hart.” – Should I See It Oct 26, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 2.5/5 EDIT “I have seldom watched a movie as afraid of its own shadow as this movie is.” – Should I See It Oct 6, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “One Battle After Another feels like something of an assessment and performance review of America in its present state.

Time will tell. but Freakier Friday is fine enough for me.” – Should I See It Aug 9, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “The animation style is full of action, bold colors, and seldom sits still.” – Should I See It Aug 3, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “... once this cast clicks and finds their groove together ... you start to envision these four actors making The Fantastic Four meaningful within the MCU.” – Should I See It Jul 27, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Logan Lerman and Molly Gordon do all they can to elevate this material and are both terrific actors.” – Should I See It Jul 27, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% 3/5 EDIT “... gnarly and bloody at times, but also easy to consume ...” – Should I See It Jul 27, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% 1.5/5 EDIT “Don’t we have podcasts for this sort of thing?” – Should I See It Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Smurfs (2025) 21% 1/5 EDIT “The cinematic equivalent of “this meeting could have been an email.”” – Should I See It Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “If you can’t beat them … join them.” – Should I See It Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 2/5 EDIT “Just know that if, at any point, you find yourself rooting for the dinosaurs … you’re not alone.” – Should I See It Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Elio (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “While the story may lack originality, Elio finds a way to matter.” – Should I See It Jun 23, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 2.5/5 EDIT “... its attempt at realism dulls the imaginative filmmaking that made the original so unforgettable.” – Should I See It Jun 14, 2025 Full Review Color Book (2024) 5/5 EDIT “David Fortune has created something truly special, a moving cinematic experience that makes you feel as if you are witnessing greatness unfold right in front of you.” – Should I See It Jun 1, 2025 Full Review
