Movies TV Shows
Arco (2025) 91% 3.5/5.0 EDIT “Capturing the joys of childhood and the coming of age that is inevitable, as well as contemplating unknown threats and unimaginable dangers, Arco is a beautiful tale that is awash in hopes, memories, and regrets.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Revolver Lily (2023) 3.5/5.0 EDIT “As a movie, Revolver Lily moves just as briskly as Yuri Ozone herself takes stealthy, decisive action. It resembles the train that kicked the action off: fast-moving, with a destination clearly in mind.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “From its very first minute, Send Help self-identifies as a nervy comedy of discomfort. ... jolts of broad humor that may be questionable in taste, even as they fit into the completely satisfying, darkly outrageous, and contagiously amusing Send Help. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Rigorously replicated and taking full advantage of the big-screen experience, The Testament of Ann Lee is often mesmerizing in its sincere depiction of faith and persecution, and the joy that Ann Lee and her followers sought. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “Starting at a boil, Timur Bekmambetov’s Mercy has nowhere to go but over the top. And that’s where it proceeds, early and often, throughout its 100-minute running time. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Altered (2025) 10% EDIT “A fun, punchy ride, for what it is: a sci-fi b-movie (the kind I love) that makes a good rental or purchase on a Video On Demand platform.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “Hackman's performance raises it above the noise.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The movie feels Tony’s pain. ... It knows what it’s like to continually seek satisfaction for wrongs that have befallen you by those in positions of power. ... The rich are different from you and me: they never say they’re sorry. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 14, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Instantly gripping, intensely chaotic, and deeply touching. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Killer Whale (2026) 22% 3.0/5.0 EDIT “Taken on its own terms, Killer Whale is a great movie for a lazy afternoon, primarily because Virginia Gardner and Mel Jarnson really sell their characters. ... [They] kept me involved and rooting for them to survive, somehow, against all odds. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Space/Time (2025) 3/5 EDIT “[Becomes] quite thrilling. ... Anyone with a proclivity for science fiction [will] appreciate what the filmmakers accomplished with a low budget and a lot of imagination.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 2/5 EDIT “Very much like an old joke that you’ve heard a thousand times before: you remember that you laughed once, and rarely since. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% EDIT “It’s like watching a slow-motion automobile accident, and being helpless to stop it. ... Reminds that appearances can be deceiving. No matter how successful someone may appear to be, they may be drowning emotionally, and unable to call for help. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Marshmallow (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Distinguishes itself with its clever wrinkles on a familiar premise. ... The kind of modestly-budgeted indie horror flick that I love to discover. ” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3.5/5.0 EDIT “Having them together ... is a combustible mix. ... Paul Feig triumphs once again ... a seasonal treat that is steamy, spicy good fun. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Europe's New Faces (2025) EDIT “Without rushing things, Europe's New Faces envelops the viewer in a sobering reality that is not always pleasant to contemplate. It becomes a grueling experience, yet also one that allows room to consider the plight of vast numbers of people. ” – ScreenAnarchy Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Reconfirms Quentin Tarantino as the Ultimate Cinematic Mixmaster, borrowing from every movie he's ever seen, putting everything in a blender, and making something altogether new. It's a truly epic piece of filmmaking, masterfully accomplished.” – ScreenAnarchy Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “A cauldron of emotions, Left-Handed Girl unfolds like a boiling onion: hot to the touch, and potent in its flavor.” – ScreenAnarchy Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Angel's Egg (1985) 100% EDIT “Awash in hand-drawn beauty. The spare settings, and the forward momentum, combine to enable the imagery to seep easily into the soul. ... Gorgeous and distinctive, and I want more. ... it's quite a dreamy ride.” – ScreenAnarchy Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “As it is, many great, startling and truly beautiful shots and sequences stand out and make the picture worth watching.” – ScreenAnarchy Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Stitch Head (2025) 71% EDIT “It’s always a pleasure when an animated film treats its audience with respect in its storytelling, as well as its kindly, indulgent attitude toward its characters. ... That makes Stitch Head eminently worthwhile for all ages. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Yet audiences today need to be pushed a little to garner a more pungent reaction; as it is, Bugonia is well-performed and well-produced, but never feels like essential or vital entertainment. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 5/5 EDIT “Mostly, we see Guillermo del Toro's vivid imagination at work, playing on the biggest train set that Netflix money can buy. ... in truth ... a fabulous manifestation of the imagination of many people working together to create something magical. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “A veritable explosion of action that is overwhelming in its complexity and scale. ... Uses every inch ... to impress with the fury of its motion and the splendor of its animation. ... a battle-fueled epic that is seasoned with humor and romance. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Oct 23, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 2/5 EDIT “Mostly, the film plays as though it’s a dog chasing after its own tail, clumsily doing the same thing over and over again. ... One exits the theater, grateful for the performances, and infuriated by all the pointless arguments. ” – DallasFilmNow.com Oct 23, 2025 Full Review
