The Last First: Winter K2
(2026)
|
Kaveh Jalinous
|
Incredible shots in a mountaineering documentary are far from uncommon, but they’re certainly a plus in a film that’s hoping to showcase just how hard summiting K2 in any season is, let alone winter.

Primate
(2025)
|
Daniel Rester
|
Primate is neither thrilling nor smart enough to be good, nor ludicrous enough to be so bad that it’s good. Instead, it’s just a mediocre genre flick fitting for its January release. It’s certainly no Cujo (1983) or Monkey Shines (1988).

Anaconda
(2025)

Daniel Rester

Anaconda is a forgettable meta comedy that lacks bite. The cast brings plenty of energy to it, but the film often takes the easiest routes imaginable.

Marty Supreme
(2025)

Marty Supreme is an unconventional sports drama that’s less interested in scenes of triumphant wins and more interested in an entitled American man falling apart.

Predator: Badlands
(2025)
|
Daniel Rester
|
The first two films in this series are gritty, sweaty, and bloody adult action-horror films. Some of that style remained in later entries to a lesser degree, but Predator: Badlands does away with nearly all of it in favor of slick blockbuster set pieces.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE

It’s a hollow tale that so desperately wants you to take it seriously; what it lacks in substance it hopes to make up for in stylistic sophistication. Unfortunately, there’s not much of that on display either.
