Breakdown: 1975 (2025) Brian Lowry The better -- or at least more entertaining -- bet, “Breakdown: 1975,” examines the risk-taking filmmaking that swept over Hollywood in the mid-1970s.

Cover-Up (2025) Brian Lowry “Cover-Up” at first proves a little too enamored with its 88-year-old subject, whose long list of scoops run from the My Lai Massacre to Abu Ghraib. The film gets more complex in its second half.

Marty Supreme (2025) Brian Lowry Chalamet delivers a memorable performance while adding more indie-film cred after his dutiful turns in big-studio fare like "Dune" and "Wonka." That said, "Marty Supreme" isn't quite "Uncut Gems," although he's definitely a diamond in the rough.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Brian Lowry A 197-minute epic that piles on breathless rescues and battles in a manner whose ultimate goal seems to be exhaustion as an artistic choice, if not outright “Kneel before Zod” submission.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Brian Lowry The movie’s too long and a bit too cute, while wrestling issues of religion and faith along the way. The main drawback is the characters don’t quite pop... While the franchise certainly isn’t dead, the EKG is flickering.

Ella McCay (2025) Brian Lowry With its mostly half-baked ideas and lifeless elements, about all “Ella McCay” will do -- except perhaps for Brooks completists -- is make people feel dumb for parting with money to see a movie that’s barely worth finding the time to stream.

ONE SHOT with Ed Sheeran (2025) Brian Lowry As gimmicks go, this one-shot, continuous one-hour Netflix music special is a fun if slightly weird one.

Anniversary (2025) Brian Lowry The less-headline-worthy assessment is the film’s just so-so and would have benefited from a more expansive limited-series format, giving the characters time to breathe.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Brian Lowry If the slightly shorter second half doesn’t fully measure up to the original that does little to detract from director Jon M. Chu’s overall accomplishment, or the emotional wallop of the concluding chapter.

Being Eddie (2025) Brian Lowry Being Eddie in his heyday was clearly great. “Being Eddie” is just OK.

5/10
The Running Man (2025) Brian Lowry Ultimately, Wright’s vision proves too disjointed to fully work as either dark satire or R-rated action, getting a boost from Powell’s charisma and, with everyone else essentially reduced to extended cameos, not much else.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Brian Lowry After “Prey” and the animated “Predator: Killer of Killers,” director Dan Trachtenberg adds another mindlessly entertaining wrinkle to the “Predator” mythology that nobody really needed.

Frankenstein (2025) Brian Lowry The film starts strong, using the book’s flashback framing device, but eventually feeling rushed and striking some false notes toward the end. So while it’s worth watching, what clearly aspires to be the definitive telling of the story ultimately isn’t.

9/10
Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) Brian Lowry Like all of Peck's work, "Orwell: 2+2=5" is highly cinematic, and as urgent as a punch to the gut.

TRON: Ares (2025) Brian Lowry What the 21st-century versions of "Tron" miss are the simple pleasures and unassuming fun of the original, which took the protagonist, and by extension the audience, inside a video game, boasting a look that felt very much ahead of its time.
