Primate (2025) 79% D EDIT “...best described as a hard-R splatter movie, with Ben drooling and screeching as he rips faces and jaws off or beats people to death. People have been testifying to how 'fun' it all is, but I found it repulsive and unpleasant...” – Rob's Movie Vault Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% C- EDIT “I felt as hustled as Marty’s various marks must feel; Safdie never stops agitating on behalf of Marty, pleading his case that he’s a worthy subject of a film. He didn’t convince me.” – Rob's Movie Vault Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% F EDIT “It seems to want to be a cross between 'Tropic Thunder' and 'Be Kind Rewind,' both of which, like this film, starred Jack Black, and both of which were far funnier. For that matter, so was the original 'Anaconda'...” – Rob's Movie Vault Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% A- EDIT “The movie is valuable to me, but if it doesn’t sound worthwhile to you, I’m not about to try convincing you otherwise. You know whether you’re up for this.” – Rob's Movie Vault Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% C EDIT “The movie would be nowhere without Jessie Buckley, to whom they may as well hand the Oscar now and save the fuss. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% A- EDIT “At this point, Craig’s legacy deserves to rest at least as much on Benoit as on James Bond, possibly more so. Certainly he was never this much fun to watch as Bond...” – Rob's Movie Vault Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% A EDIT “The film may sound like a high-toned bummer, but there’s a surplus of pleasure in its visual beauty, in its underplaying, in the hushed but firm way it takes the measure of the intractable facts of the world. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Nov 25, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% B+ EDIT “Some dialogue in 'The Running Man' is a little obvious, but in general Wright uses the plot to illustrate the peril of prizes awarded for winning the corporate/government game.” – Rob's Movie Vault Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% B EDIT “Ansari, as a filmmaker, is as good-hearted as Gabriel; he makes pretty much everyone onscreen likable.” – Rob's Movie Vault Nov 12, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% B- EDIT “At best it’s a new ensemble of good to great actors asked to convey how they might react to an impending existential lights-out. If you approach it without looking for more than that, it might offer more satisfaction.” – Rob's Movie Vault Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% C- EDIT “The gothically inclined who love doomed dark romance may appreciate this 'Frankenstein,' and I wish I could join them. I wish it worked for me.” – Rob's Movie Vault Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Queens of the Dead (2025) 83% B+ EDIT “Tina Romero has made a fun, flashy tribute to her father’s work, and it packs the usual scares and flesh-eating while incorporating a bit of autobiography. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Bride of Frankenstein (1935) 98% A+ EDIT “Whale wanted to deliver a 'hoot,' something heavily gay-coded and lightly disdainful of hetero normies. The result is a proto-goth, proto-punk slice of dark chocolate cake with purple and green icing. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% B EDIT “Feels like a project that warrants applause for having been accomplished at all, and expecting some of the more challenging technical spots to be more clearly rendered, or expecting Indy to have the range of a trained dog actor, sounds a little churlish.” – Rob's Movie Vault Oct 8, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% A EDIT “The compositions and lighting always enthrall; the editing takes us forward sometimes faster than we want to go, yet never confusingly. The action set pieces always seem to pop out of nowhere...” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Megadoc (2025) 98% B- EDIT “Actors, and especially actors who dream of working with Coppola, may get more out of 'Megadoc' than the rest of us could.” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% B+ EDIT “It’s probably as sharp and alert a movie as could be made from this legendarily “unfilmable” King book. But films about endurance tests like the Walk have one big problem: we’re not at all sorry to see them end and to escape into the fresh air. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% A EDIT “The director and star bring the confidence and relaxation of maturity to their work here; they keep things perking along while not denying the pull of the story’s gravitas.” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% B+ EDIT “What’s weird about this latest film from a director known for weirdness is that word I’ve used twice now and will again: fun.” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% B- EDIT “The tone and the themes are, and end up, at odds, and we’re not sure what our ultimate feelings should be. Maybe Coen and Cooke intended that. If so, hats off. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% B EDIT “It’s possible to want to see the movie again just to enjoy the subtle actors’ moments. It’s possible to want to do that while not quite being sold on 'Weapons' as the genre’s new silverback gorilla.” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% B+ EDIT “It doesn’t hurt that Odenkirk has the mighty Connie Nielsen to play off of.” – Rob's Movie Vault Sep 2, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% C EDIT “Something of a Gen-X nostalgia trip; I have no idea what it’ll have to say to zoomers, many of whom were in grade school when Leslie Nielsen died in 2010. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Aug 5, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% C EDIT “Even by Marvel Cinematic Universe standards this thing is fairly thin and forgettable. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Sovereign (2025) 95% A EDIT “Nick Offerman’s work as this broken man, who is also capable of gentleness and humor and only becomes truly dangerous when pushed to the wall by the desperation and horror he has made for himself, is unforgettable. ” – Rob's Movie Vault Jul 21, 2025 Full Review
