Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “What happens when artificial intelligence acts as a jury, judge and executioner? How far is too far? "Mercy" is a merciless exploration of justice, artificial intelligence and humanity. ” – The MovieMaven Jan 25, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “Perfection is an illusion. Sinister secrets, minacious lies, and closed-door twists flip the narrative right up till the very end. Harrowingly mind-blowing, "The Housemaid" will leave you wholly gobsmacked. ” – The MovieMaven Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “Imaginative concept about afterlife; contrasting vibrancy, comical beats, melancholic tenderness, meaningful twists for suspense and sweetness. It will make you think about life journeys, everlasting memories, and those matter most may just be eternal.” – The MovieMaven Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “What is the truth? It may not be based on facts or reason; it’s what people agree on. Power can and should be used for good. "Wicked for Good" may not be defying gravity, but it’s an earnest conclusion to the epic musical saga. ” – The MovieMaven Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% EDIT “In the world of magic, everything that disappears... reappears. Forget logic. Sometimes all we need is a little magic. Brilliantly illusioned and written, "Now You See Me, Now You Don't" is escapist entertainment at its glamorous and grandest.” – The MovieMaven Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “Exploring myth, miracle and misdeed misdirections, decades-old secrets are unearthed, layers of cover-ups break open, hidden holy grail and artifices come to light. Atmospherically engrossing, shrewdly humorous and inventively clever whodunnit mystery.” – The MovieMaven Oct 25, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “If you’re looking for style, the visually and sonically thrilling “Tron: Ares” shines in glowing spades. Also see the panel presentation and real-life lightcyle display at the 2025 Comic-Con inside the review. ” – The MovieMaven Oct 12, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “Walk or die. Such a simple concept, yet so scary. There is no victory. "The Long Walk" is grueling and gripping, harrowing and terrorizing, mixed with humanity and spirit, familial bond and friendship, care and sacrifice. ” – The MovieMaven Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “The space-age, retro-futuristic cinematography is visually rich and distinctively different, both aesthetically evocative and avant-garde. For the first time in years, it feels like the first steps in the right direction for the next chapter of Marvel. ” – The MovieMaven Aug 3, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “What is Superman's true purpose on earth? Intriguing premise, central conflict and unexpected twists. Unabashedly comic-booky... a colorful scattershot and entertainingly exuberant in its silliness. It also brings a renewed hope and joy for what's next. ” – The MovieMaven Jul 13, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “Excels in low and slow mode, predators quietly stalking and creeping up before pursuits turn relentless and escapes may or may not be possible. It milks the tension and emotional moments. 'Rebirth' gives birth to another Jurassic world of possibilities. ” – The MovieMaven Jul 5, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% EDIT “What does match made in heaven mean? "Materialists" is a sharp, sincere, germane and poignant examination of modern romance in the materialistic world we live in. Dating may be hard, but the right kind of love will feel easy, even if it's a little messy.” – The MovieMaven Jun 21, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% EDIT “Stylishly blending into the John Wick world, Armas is fiery, brutal, quick, inventive, explosive. Knives and guns are rivaled by ice skates, grenades and flamethrowers. Blazing fire against falling snow in a wintry night. Ballerina is a smashing spin-off.” – The MovieMaven Jun 8, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% EDIT “The fate of the world and billions of lives... in a blink of an eye. Thrillingly taut and sprawling, packed with high-stake suspense and intensity, and connected with threads of nostalgia. A crashing force to be reckoned with and exhilarating to the hilt.” – The MovieMaven May 18, 2025 Full Review Another Simple Favor (2025) 58% EDIT “The air is rich with secrets and splendor. The glamorous guests drip with humorous dread, contempt and sarcasm, trading barbs with wry wit and poisonous edge. A glossy noir, "Another Simple Favor" is wildly twisty and fabulously fun.  ” – The MovieMaven Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% EDIT “First date. Fancy restaurant. What could go wrong? The movie does a killer job in keeping the whodunnit mystery up and ratcheting up the nerve-racking tension. “Drop” is a suspenseful hell hath no fury like a trapped woman whose son is in danger. ” – The MovieMaven Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Cleaner (2025) 51% EDIT “"Cleaner" is a generic action thriller executed well with edge-of-your seat and do or die moments. ” – The MovieMaven Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% EDIT “Topsy-turvy chain of events unfold with an unhinged edge and dark comedic tone. The twists are well-constructed and unexpected. The shocks and surprises keep coming. Prepare to go on a wickedly wild ride with “Companion.” ” – The MovieMaven Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% EDIT “Action-and-gadget-packed, comedic Mission Impossible-style movie for an early holiday cheer. If the child in you ever wonder how Santa can drop off gifts to billions of people around the world in one night, you'll be in for a fantastical holiday treat!” – The MovieMaven Nov 24, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% EDIT “A story about an outsider trusting her instinct and coming into her own power, charting her path to do the right thing. Power-propelled propaganda corrupts and controls people. Evoking fantasy and wonder in a grand scale, “Wicked” is wickedly wondrous. ” – The MovieMaven Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Here (2024) 36% EDIT “Life events happen and evolve through a 100-year period in the house. Right here, these same walls witness so much history and significance. Through centuries and generations, “Here” is a full circle of life, filled with moments, milestones and memories.” – The MovieMaven Nov 10, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% EDIT “An argument about the human existence and way of life – why we believe the way we do and how our beliefs influence how we live – unfolding with dread, horror and humor. "Heretic" is thought-provoking, bone-chilling, diverting and divisive duel of ideas. ” – The MovieMaven Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% EDIT ““Transformers One” is a classic class warfare, friendships, trust, loyalty and betrayal. More importantly, it's about the conscious choice each one makes. Fully animated, it's thrilling with high energy and heart, and may be the most human story of all. ” – The MovieMaven Sep 15, 2024 Full Review Slingshot (2024) 38% EDIT “What happens when you're losing your mind in space? The penultimate scenes present a rationally plausible explanation about what's going on... until the final scene hits you in the head with mind-twisting veracity. "Slingshot” is bracingly gutsy.” – The MovieMaven Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% EDIT “Strangely shocking and deeply deranged, “Strange Darling” sublimely subverts expectations. The story tantalizingly turns on its bloody head and continues to tensely twist itself, keeping you guessing until the last drop.” – The MovieMaven Aug 25, 2024 Full Review
