Marty Supreme (2025) Eric Goldman There's a lot of reasons to not like Marty, but the way Timothée Chalamet plays him and Josh Safdie directs the film, it's impossible to not be drawn into wanting to see what he'll do next.

The Housemaid (2025) Eric Goldman Whether you are seeing it as a self-aware movie having fun with cliches, or you feel like you're laughing AT it, I think you'll still have a really good time with it.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Eric Goldman Even though it's going through the motions, it's going through the motions for James Cameron making an Avatar movie, so that still puts it on a higher pedestal than a lot of motion picture experiences.

The Running Man (2025) Eric Goldman I liked this new version of The Running Man though I wanted to love it because Edgar Wright directed it. You don't quite feel his presence as much as I'd like to.

Black Phone 2 (2025) Eric Goldman A sequel that manages to both continue the story with the same characters yet also feels like it's doing something different thanks to its atmospheric winter setting and newly supernatural villain.

TRON: Ares (2025) Eric Goldman I wish TRON: Ares dug deeper on the subject of AI and that it didn't star Jared Leto, and yet it's ultimately a fun film with spectacular visuals and an awesome soundtrack, and has more energy than the first two installments.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Eric Goldman Dwayne Johnson reminds us that, yes, he is a good actor in The Smashing Machine, with a strong, vulnerable performance, even though the movie could have stood to include some additional important scenes it skips over.

HIM (2025) Eric Goldman Marlon Wayans' dynamic performance is easily the highlight of Him, which otherwise never satisfactorily pays off its fun idea of mixing the world of football with a deal with the Devil horror story.

One Battle After Another (2025) Eric Goldman This is one of Paul Thomas Anderson's best movies. It's topical, weird, funny and exciting, anchored by an emotional core centered on a father-daughter relationship you can easily invest in.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Eric Goldman Anchored by its two talented and charismatic stars, this romantic fantasy is engaging for much of its run time before not quite sticking the landing.

Weapons (2025) Eric Goldman Zach Cregger's follow up to Barbarian is another terrific horror film that expertly blends scenes of genuine terror with some very funny moments. Cregger shows an ability to seamlessly and quickly change tones that is very tricky to pull off.

Freakier Friday (2025) Eric Goldman Freakier Friday is an example of a decades-later sequel that works. It’s silly and funny and manages to have just enough of a twist on the formula of the first one to feel justified.

The Naked Gun (2025) Eric Goldman This is pretty much a home run as far as delivering what you want from the title Naked Gun. It perfectly captures that Zucker Abrahams Zucker style of filmmaking and that specific style of comedy.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Eric Goldman The Fantastic Four: First Steps is truly delightful. It perfectly captures the FF and their family dynamic and it features some awesome production design and visuals.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) Eric Goldman I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 is very funny for how it's super reverential to a horror movie that was always second string at best. But its echoes of Halloween and Scream's legacy sequel moves are still entertaining echoes.

Superman (2025) Eric Goldman I loved Superman. This movie embraces the earnest, lovably corny side of comics and all they offer in a way we really haven’t seen since Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies.
Posted Jul 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Eric Goldman After a rough and clunky start introducing its characters, Rebirth turns goofy but fun once the dinosaurs arrive, much like most of the Jurassic sequels. Would I like more at this point? Sure. But this is still delivering what has worked for this series.

28 Years Later (2025) Eric Goldman 28 Days Later creators Danny Boyle and Alex Garland return, bringing with them a real scrappy, rock and roll energy that feel distinct and gives the movie its own feel, even in a world filled with zombie movies.
Posted Jun 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Elio (2025) Eric Goldman The first half is clunky but the longer Elio goes on, the more it works, and it has a sweet and commendably weird core.
Posted Jun 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Ballerina (2025) Eric Goldman At one point, Ana de Armas has a flamethrower fight against a bad guy. What more do you need from an action movie at that point?
Posted Jun 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Dangerous Animals (2025) Eric Goldman Though it has a love story subplot it could have dropped, this is a B-movie in a glorious way. Jai Courtney goes for it as this character and what he's doing is really fun.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Eric Goldman If this ends up being the last movie in the franchise, it’s a pretty lackluster way to end what has been such a wonderful series.
Posted May 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Bring Her Back (2025) Eric Goldman Bring Her Back strikes such an interesting balance. It works on a nasty horror level, with gnarly moments of gore, but then also goes for something deep and heartfelt, while making both aspects land. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen this year.

Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) Eric Goldman After 14 years, the Final Destination franchise returns and the wait was worth it. This is a really satisfying installment that hits all the right notes. It takes the formula you expect and the rules that have been set and puts a clever spin on it.
Posted May 13, 2025  Edit critic review
Friendship (2024) Eric Goldman Fans of I Think You Should Leave will be very happy with the hysterical Friendship, which proves a Tim Robinson character, in his oh-so awkward glory, can sustain itself for the length of a feature film.
Posted May 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Thunderbolts* (2025) Eric Goldman Thunderbolts is great. it's a really fun movie about really damaged people and digs deep and legitimately resonates on that level.
Posted Apr 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Ash (2025) Eric Goldman In his feature debut, director Flying Lotus shows off a strong visual style even if plot-wise there's a lot that's familiar.
Posted Mar 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Disney's Snow White (2025) Eric Goldman After so much pre-hate, Snow White is decidedly... okay. Rachel Zegler is the best thing about it, thanks to her singing talent, charm and natural Disney Princess energy. Gal Gadot is miscast and those Dwarfs really look off.
Posted Mar 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Mickey 17 (2025) Eric Goldman If you're a fan of director or this cast, it's worth seeing. It is an entertaining film, but it feels like a bit of a step down compared to the rest of Bong Joon-ho's filmography.
Posted Mar 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Last Breath (2025) Eric Goldman At its core, its pretty damn effective. The question of if this rescue attempt can work and its depiction is appropriately harrowing, even if the movie is a bit surface level -- forgive the water-related pun -- with its characters.

The Gorge (2025) Eric Goldman Overly explaining really hurts the movie in the last quarter, but there's a ton of strong material before that, with the two leads doing a fantastic job selling you on their growing relationship, fantastic creature designs, and suitably creepy moments.

Love Hurts (2025) Eric Goldman There are some entertaining fight scenes but the movie never comes together or finds the comedic tone it’s trying for.
Posted Feb 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Monkey (2025) Eric Goldman The Monkey is a really audacious swerve from Longlegs, taking the dark sense of humor that Osgood Perkins occasionally included in that film had and moving all the way into heightened horror-comedy.
Posted Feb 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Heart Eyes (2025) Eric Goldman A very entertaining and funny movie that asks what would happen if romantic comedy characters had to deal with a gory slasher movie scenario. It's very well cast, with leads who could work just as well in a normal rom-com without the graphic death scenes.
Posted Jan 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Presence (2024) Eric Goldman It's not scary, nor is it really trying to be, but this is a cool way to do a ghost story and I connected to these characters.
Posted Jan 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Star Trek: Section 31 (2025) Eric Goldman None of it has any emotional impact and there are too many quips and overly stylized shots that feel like they're trying to achieve a "cool" feeling that never lands.
Posted Jan 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Wolf Man (2025) Eric Goldman This version of Wolf Man is really well done and is intense and legitimately scary. Leigh Whannell has gotten better and better as a director.
Posted Jan 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) Eric Goldman This is the best looking Wallace & Gromit project ever and the return of Feathers McGraw completely works. He's an inspired creation and the dynamic between Wallace & Gromit remains a wonderful one.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) Eric Goldman This is the best Sonic movie yet. Jim Carrey goes for broke, giving his all in two roles, and there is some genuine emotional stakes to the story this time out.

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) Eric Goldman There's some heart to this one and they've made some big improvements following the 2019 remake.

Nosferatu (2024) Eric Goldman Nosferatu has always seemed like a great fit for Robert Eggers and it very much is. This is a beautiful film to look at filled with a mood and atmosphere that grabs ahold of you.

Moana 2 (2024) Eric Goldman It’s not as good as the first and the songs aren't as memorable yet it’s still an entertaining, fulfilling and crowd pleasing sequel. Moana herself remains a wonderful movie heroine.

7/10
Wicked (2024) Eric Goldman Wicked lives or dies based on its two leads and that's where the film triumphs, because Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are both so good.

Red One (2024) Eric Goldman There's a scene early on where Dwayne Johnson is helping a jacked Santa Claus work out in the North Pole gym, and is spotting him while talking about how he might be losing the spirit of Christmas, where I thought to myself "What are we doing here?"

8/10
Gladiator II (2024) Eric Goldman People were understandably very wary of a sequel to Gladiator, but it justifies its existence. It's a more complex story that initially feels like it might just repeat the first film's plot but then turns out to be doing something different.

8/10
Heretic (2024) Eric Goldman The movie is filled with a mixture of creepy and scary sequences and religious debate and conversations. It's a great spotlight for these three actors.

Your Monster (2024) Eric Goldman This is Melissa Barrera's best performance yet, allowing her to play some really different and extreme emotional levels. It's funny throughout and an excellent calling card for writer/director Caroline Lindy.
Posted Oct 24, 2024  Edit critic review
6/10
Venom: The Last Dance (2024) Eric Goldman Very silly and sometimes flat out stupid, but it’s also intentionally goofy. The supporting cast is given little to do but Tom Hardy’s performance and the interplay between Eddie and Venom is still very enjoyable.

8/10
Smile 2 (2024) Eric Goldman It's better than the first one, doing what you want a sequel to do by taking the things about the first movie that worked and expanding upon them. It's more dreamlike and trippy and Naomi Scott gives a really impressive performance.
Posted Oct 16, 2024  Edit critic review
9/10
Anora (2024) Eric Goldman The movie is funny and engaging from the get to, but then takes a shift that combines Sean Baker's sensibilities with a little bit of Shane Black. Mikey Madison's performance is amazing, showing all the layers to her character, even below the surface.
