Marty Supreme (2025) Matthew Creith "Marty Supreme" may feel like "Uncut Gems" refracted through a mid-century prism, but its success lies in the small recalibrations. It's a film about a man burdened by how great he thinks he's supposed to be.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Matthew Creith "Wake Up Dead Man" is a deeply menacing whodunit (and a howdunit) that mixes politics and religion in ways only Rian Johnson can craft for a willing audience.

Roofman (2025) Matthew Creith "Roofman" is easily Cianfrance's most digestible film and one that can be rewatched over and over again due to the magnetism that Channing Tatum brings to the screen and character.

One Battle After Another (2025) Matthew Creith Capped by a climactic end sequence that leaves an impression that can only be elevated when watching the film on the biggest screen imaginable, Paul Thomas Anderson deserves to be lauded with every award this industry can bestow.

The Lost Bus (2025) Matthew Creith Not since "Backdraft" has a movie focused on fires been so, pardon the pun, explosive. Paul Greengrass delves into the multifaceted challenges California faces regarding fires and the annual dangers they pose.

The Naked Gun (2025) Matthew Creith "The Naked Gun," like all of its predecessors in the franchise, doesn't concern itself with plot, per se. It is a balls-to-the-wall, joke-a-minute, laugh riot that keeps the humor flying from minute one through the end credits.

3/5
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Matthew Creith Just when the film feels like it will get in its own way with a dizzying story, forced relationship between Ethan and Grace, and lack of favorites like Ferguson, "The Final Reckoning" stays on course to rediscover its roots.

Thunderbolts* (2025) Matthew Creith "Thunderbolts*" is clearly Marvel's pivot to focusing on character development over visual flair. It struggles at times to fill the void (pun intended) left by other entries to the MCU, yet keeps the magic alive long enough to stand on its own two feet.

Sinners (2025) Matthew Creith Coogler's script and, ultimately, his dedicated directional abilities are unmatched as racism and religious subtext are thrust into the foregrounds of a horror story worth telling.
Posted Apr 28, 2025  Edit critic review
The Brutalist (2024) Matthew Creith Brady Corbet has accomplished something special with "The Brutalist." It's a triumph of a saga that becomes a pure showcase for cinematographer Lol Crawley's unmatched eye, Daniel Blumberg's haunting score, and a production design you must see to believe.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Matthew Creith The movie is vulgar and hyper violent with Reynolds' signature fourth wall breaking in almost every scene. It's fun to see Jackman back as Wolverine and obviously having fun with the character in a tribute to Marvel and the X-Men franchise.

Posted Feb 13, 2024  Edit critic review
Argylle (2024) Matthew Creith Argylle is a convoluted and chaotic spy thriller comedy from director Matthew Vaughn and a waste of an ensemble of talented actors. As always, Sam Rockwell stands out above the rest, though it isn't enough to save this film from a messy presentation.
Posted Feb 02, 2024  Edit critic review
Freaky Tales (2024) Matthew Creith Boden and Fleck have infused a sense of realism into their characters. Some stories hit better than others, but from a 30,000-foot view, the film excels at depicting these stories in a fresh and evocative manner.

Posted Dec 13, 2023  Edit critic review
Saltburn (2023) Matthew Creith "Saltburn" might not be as original as the Oscar-winning "Promising Young Woman," but it promises its audience a wild ride and constant twists and turns that disgust and delight.
Posted Nov 22, 2023  Edit critic review
Wish (2023) Matthew Creith Though there will surely be an audience of youngsters that soak up the splendid tunes, Wish delivers in a way that Disney used to with its straight-to-VHS sequels with off-brand humor, inconsistent animation, and low-budget obstacles.
Posted Nov 21, 2023  Edit critic review
Napoleon (2023) Matthew Creith Napoleon demonstrates how ruthless and undeniably important the main character is, but this alone does not make for an entertaining epic. The battles are significant in scope. Yet, the chemistry between the performers sorely lacks.
Posted Nov 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Poor Things (2023) Matthew Creith "Poor Things" gives its ensemble cast room to explore the absurdity of life with extreme emphasis on Mark Ruffalo's dastardly and abusive Duncan. The film delights in its insanity, considerably to the advantage of those in on the joke.
Posted Nov 10, 2023  Edit critic review
The Marvels (2023) Matthew Creith The Marvels provides enough energy and excitement to satisfy the casual comic book movie observer, even if it's fleeting. The Marvels is a delightful entry in a long line of cinematic offerings from a depleted movie studio.
Posted Nov 08, 2023  Edit critic review
Priscilla (2023) Matthew Creith Priscilla doesn't give Cailee Spaeny room to examine Priscilla Presley's marriage to Elvis and the aftermath of their divorce. It's a valiant effort by everyone involved, but the movie devolves into a boring story with little to no lessons learned.
Posted Oct 26, 2023  Edit critic review
5/5
The Holdovers (2023) Matthew Creith Writer David Hemingson has crafted an incredibly air-tight, clever, and grounded script that leaves nothing on the table and everything for the taking. The dialogue, glances, and emotional outbursts are earned to a degree that it's almost masterful.
Posted Oct 19, 2023  Edit critic review
5/5
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Matthew Creith Directed by Martin Scorsese and based on a 2017 novel by David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon is astonishingly horrific and genius filmmaking at its most provocative.
