28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Patrick Beatty
|
"28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" expands on the themes of what it means to be human with feverish chaos, incredible performances by Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell, and what is sure to be one of the best music sequences of the year.

This is one of those inoffensive holiday films that keep you in a warm, cozy blanket with a hot cocoa, watching with your family.

Hamnet
(2025)
|
Patrick Beatty
|
It’s rare to see a film this raw and this tender at the same time. "Hamnet" is both grief and grace.

Marty Supreme

|
Patrick Beatty
|
You wouldn’t think a story about Ping Pong could be as intense as "Marty Supreme" is, but because the story takes itself so seriously, you completely buy into it.

Fackham Hall
(2025)
|
Patrick Beatty
|
A satirical take on all things proper and British with a joke-a-second pace of laughs that, while not always landing, is more than enough to warrant a visit to the theaters.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2
(2025)
|
Patrick Beatty
|
Once the fan service peels off, you’re left with a bare-bones story with weak scares and an ending as abrupt as it is jarring.

"Zootopia 2" does build the characters we love, but the story, more than anything, feels the same. And for a 10-year wait, it should be anything but.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but I had a good time clicking my heels in the theater. It doesn’t have the same punch as the first film, but the ending is powerful enough to make even the Tin Man’s heart skip a beat.

Film is often about escapism… a way to step away from the heaviness of the real world. “The Long Walk” is a powerful, even incredible work of art, but it’s not escapism. It forces you to confront pain, control, and loss head-on.
