The Rip
(2026)
|
Julian Lytle
|
The Rip is the type of movie I miss throughout the year, and it is a great movie to start the year on Netflix. The Rip is a must-watch for me.

The film doesn’t make you pick Kiritis’ side, but in these days and times, it’s easy to see his point of view now more than maybe the public did back then.

With a luscious story that takes its time laying its groundwork before its sharp twists and turns, and a slow-burn escalation, The Housemaid will have you enthralled by every moment.

This will not be a movie I revisit—nor can I wholeheartedly recommend it—but Brooks and his cast do something that is hard to come by, creating a middle-of-the-road movie that will either make your eyes roll or your heart melt.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is not an amazing movie, but it was entertaining. I think just like the first film, you might not be the audience if you're over thirty-five.

The energy of the film and the drive of the character feel like ’90s NYC rap music or Basketball. Everything is so tense all the time, while you can feel Marty’s drive and hustle all the time.

In Your Dreams
(2025)
|
Sherin Nicole

In Your Dreams is more focused on its themes and jokes than on telling a story that connects them to each other or to us. Is it sweet? Yes. Does it have meaning? For sure. But it’s all plot, no story, and that’s not dreamy.

It must have been a child who discovered we’re the heroes of our own stories. LITTLE AMÉLIE captures that revelation in vivid animation, like a storybook set free to run feral and fantastical.

After the Hunt
(2025)
|
Sherin Nicole

The first half yanks us into its morally gray manipulations with a suspense bordering on fear; halfway through, the tension flags and the psychological thrills deflate into a slice of academic life. By then, if After the Hunt has a point, it's a dull one.
