8.5/10
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Kaitlyn Booth Director Nia DaCosta doesn't flinch during 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, but you will.

6.5/10
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Avatar: Fire and Ash might be visually beautiful, but the story repeats the same beats we've seen before with very little deviation through its criminally long runtime.

5/10
TRON: Ares (2025) Kaitlyn Booth TRON: Ares might have visual and audio spectacle, but everything else is so dull and boring that you'd be better off watching a visualizer of the OST.

7/10
Caught Stealing (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Caught Stealing and its mediocrity would be better received by other directors, but Darren Aronofsky has always been shooting so far beyond the stars compared to his peers that "it's fine" is somehow worse than the film being horrible or outstanding.

7/10
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Now You See Me: Now You Don't is just as breathlessly stupid, empty, yet somehow so entertaining and watchable as the first two as this series continues to embrace spectacle over substance.

5.5/10
Wicked: For Good (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Wicked: For Good already had a difficult task of adapting the weaker second act of the musical, but despite an over two-hour running time, everything is somehow both rushed and also drags the pacing to a slog.

8.5/10
Zootopia 2 (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Zootopia 2 doesn't quite hit as hard as the first one and meanders a bit with its story, but it's a solid entry from Disney Animation that doesn't treat the youngest in the audience like they're stupid.

7.5/10
Eenie Meanie (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Eenie Meanie isn't going to remake the wheel in terms of heist movies, but the excellent driving scene and Samara Weaving's continued efforts to prove what a badass she is elevate a good film into a pretty damn good movie.

8/10
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Kaitlyn Booth The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a decent first step for Marvel's First Family, but the good and bad that come from skipping the origin story hurt the film where it really counts in the end: the dynamic and relationship this family has with each other.

6/10
The Naked Gun (2025) Kaitlyn Booth The Naked Gun is held up by its cast, whose delivery is spot on, but this type of comedy is either your thing or it isn't, and if it isn't, this likely won't change your mind.
Posted Aug 13, 2025  Edit critic review
7.50/10
The Bad Guys 2 (2025) Kaitlyn Booth The Bad Guys 2 isn't as good as the first film, but it's still a pretty good time at the movies. It's an animated family film that makes an effort to truly appeal to multiple demographics.
Posted Aug 13, 2025  Edit critic review
5/10
Freakier Friday (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Freakier Friday fundamentally doesn't work because the film desperately tries to convince the audience that Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan are aging badly, and the only jokes they come up with are cheap shots at aging.

8.5-10
Nobody 2 (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Nobody 2 is just as good as the first one, with top-tier stuntwork, editing, and directing that lead to a bloody, surprising, funny good time at the movies.
Posted Aug 13, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/10
Smurfs (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Smurfs is exactly what happens when everyone involved in a project thinks kids are just tiny, dumb adults who couldn't possibly understand anything with depth or meaning.
Posted Jul 16, 2025  Edit critic review
8.5/10
28 Years Later (2025) Kaitlyn Booth 28 Years Later is an uncompromising look at how humanity would evolve in a world where some are left behind while everyone else in the world moves on.
Posted Jun 18, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
F1 The Movie (2025) Kaitlyn Booth F1: The Movie is visually stunning and a technical achievement unlike anything we've seen in a long time, but the mileage you'll get from the story will vary depending on whether you think the usual tropes for a sports movie are a feature or a bug.
Posted Jun 17, 2025  Edit critic review
9/10
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Kaitlyn Booth How to Train Your Dragon does all of the right things that a live-action remake of a beloved classic should do, walking the line of adding more while remembering that these movies are beloved for a reason.
Posted Jun 09, 2025  Edit critic review
8/10
Ballerina (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Ballerina can't elevate itself from "pretty good" to "great" the same way previous entries in the John Wick franchise have, but it's an enjoyable time at the movies with some fantastic action scenes and one badass leading lady.
Posted Jun 04, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning features a mission that feels impossible only in the sense that the story makes almost no sense and lacks any sense of finality that isn't surface-level.
Posted May 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Drop (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Drop seems like it doesn't have quite enough gas in the tank for a feature presentation, but all of the pieces don't quite come together. It's anchored by an overall theme that helps hold together both the parts that fit and the parts that don't.

4.5/10
The Amateur (2025) Kaitlyn Booth The Amateur is trying to do something different with its title character, but thanks to clumsy writing, mediocre performances, and lackluster pacing, the film never elevates beyond being serviceable at best.
Posted Apr 29, 2025  Edit critic review
8/10
Thunderbolts* (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Thunderbolts* is a bit messy initially, but thanks to the cast's natural chemistry and stellar third act, it ends up being one of the most emotionally impactful Marvel movies in a long time.
Posted Apr 29, 2025  Edit critic review
9/10
Black Bag (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Black Bag is another example of director Steven Soderbergh reminding everyone how to make a fun, twisty little spy thriller elevated by an excellent cast and tight script.
Posted Mar 19, 2025  Edit critic review
7.5/10
Novocaine (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Novocaine is a film that's honest about what it is. It's a "cringe comedy" where you wince every time another Wile E. Coyote-style violent act happens. It doesn't quite run out of steam but is a film that would be better with a tight 90-minute edit.
Posted Mar 19, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Disney's Snow White (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Snow White justifies its existence more than other Disney remakes, but no matter how charming Rachel Zegler is, it still can't capture the magic of the original.
Posted Mar 19, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
The Gorge (2025) Kaitlyn Booth The Gorge works better as a strange romance than an action film. The actual monsters are far less interesting than the concept of two people forming a friendship through signs and binoculars.
Posted Feb 15, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Kaitlyn Booth Captain America: Brave New World seems to exist only to push forward the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is most apparent in the weird pacing and structure of the many rewrites and reshoots.
Posted Feb 12, 2025  Edit critic review
7.5/10
Moana 2 (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Moana 2 is a movie that fails to even compare to the original in nearly every way that matters. None of the emotional beats land, the story meanders around as the TV patchwork becomes very apparent, and none of the songs are memorable.
Posted Nov 26, 2024  Edit critic review
6.5/10
Wicked (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Wicked is a solidly mediocre musical that fails to justify its runtime, which kneecaps the pacing and, at times, looks oddly fake despite the extensive use of practical effects.
Posted Nov 19, 2024  Edit critic review
6.5/10
Twisters (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Twisters wastes far too much of its runtime, establishing villains instead of focusing on the very obvious and more interesting struggle of man against Mother Nature.
Posted Jul 23, 2024  Edit critic review
7.5/10
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Deadpool & Wolverine will be everything and more to its target audience, but for those that aren't terminally online, there is a good chance half of the movie's jokes and set pieces will be meaningless to them.
Posted Jul 23, 2024  Edit critic review
7.5/10
The Imaginary (2023) Kaitlyn Booth The Imaginary very much feels like something that has come from the studio that will be the successor to Studio Ghibli's, and while the magic is there, it hasn't reached the very high expectations it is trying to meet.
Posted Jun 14, 2024  Edit critic review
5/10
IF (2024) Kaitlyn Booth IF might tug on your heartstrings, but it's a movie that seems confused about what audience it is trying to appeal to, and because of that, it appeals to almost no one.
Posted May 15, 2024  Edit critic review
6.5/10
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) Kaitlyn Booth The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a weirdly paced but fun little trip through history that is elevated by Guy Ritchie's signature style and genuine chemistry within the cast.
Posted May 08, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/10
Abigail (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Abigail has potential but seems kneecapped by its marketing. The film is written and structured as if we don't know what Abigail is, rendering the entire first act nearly meaningless.
Posted May 08, 2024  Edit critic review
9.5/10
Challengers (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Challengers is a beautiful exploration of relationship dynamics put on screen by one of the best directors and three actors putting in career-best work across the board.
Posted May 08, 2024  Edit critic review
7/10
The Fall Guy (2024) Kaitlyn Booth The Fall Guy is a pretty good time even if it fails to be as spectacular as the stunts tease it could have been with some script rewrites.

8/10
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes a little while to get going, but once it does, it becomes an immersive and thrilling new entry that feels like a natural extension of the franchise.
Posted May 08, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/10
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is so focused on making sure that it hits every single bit of nostalgia possible that the new characters and the story get pushed aside until the last twenty minutes.
Posted Mar 20, 2024  Edit critic review
9/10
Dune: Part Two (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Dune: Part Two has a few issues, most of which can be linked back to the decision to make this a true Part One and Part Two experience, but they aren't pervasive enough to ruin an overall excellent film.
Posted Feb 21, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/10
Lisa Frankenstein (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Lisa Frankenstein has a solid enough premise but seems to run out of ways to execute it well, and ultimately, it feels like the material is better suited to a short film than a feature-length production.
Posted Feb 13, 2024  Edit critic review
3/10
Madame Web (2024) Kaitlyn Booth Madame Web has some good ideas, but poor execution mimicking the worst aspects of early 2000s comic book movies drags down the entire production into something as thin and flimsy as a spider web.

3/10
Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire (2023) Kaitlyn Booth When Zack Snyder was presented with a blank check from one of the biggest streamers and creative freedom, he released Rebel Moon, a film without an original moment in its body to the point that it would be funny if it didn't take itself so seriously.
Posted Dec 21, 2023  Edit critic review
5/10
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) Kaitlyn Booth Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a mess of a film in every way that counts: in the story, in special effects, and in the end, none of it amounts to anything because we all know this is a chapter ending with nothing to actually say about said ending.
Posted Dec 21, 2023  Edit critic review
8/10
Wonka (2023) Kaitlyn Booth Wonka isn't a perfect film, but the combination of the whimsey and how earnest everything about it is helps recapture the original movie's magic while presenting a new and unique experience.
Posted Dec 04, 2023  Edit critic review
6/10
Napoleon (2023) Kaitlyn Booth Napoleon might prove that no one can direct cinematic battle scenes better than Ridley Scott, but the rest of the film falls short, and those bombastic battle scenes cannot compensate for it.
Posted Nov 24, 2023  Edit critic review
6.5/10
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) Kaitlyn Booth The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes stumbles in adaptation from book to film primarily in the structure, and while it also runs too long, it's not a bad return to this world for those familiar with this franchise or those who know nothing.
Posted Nov 24, 2023  Edit critic review
6.5/10
Wish (2023) Kaitlyn Booth Wish is a beautifully animated homage to classic Disney, but the film in front of us is weighed down with the baggage that all of the modern Disney movies seem to have.
Posted Nov 24, 2023  Edit critic review
8.5/10
The Marvels (2023) Kaitlyn Booth The Marvels feels like a return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it is a film focused on telling the story of its three leading ladies and not future endeavors, and those three ladies are all a ton of fun to watch.
Posted Nov 08, 2023  Edit critic review
7/10
Saw X (2023) Kaitlyn Booth Saw X might be the tenth film, but it proves that with the focus on the right characters and crew, the knives are still plenty sharp in this franchise.
