B-
The Moment (2026) Paolo Ragusa As either comedy or commentary, it never quite breaks free from the very commercial constraints it sets out to expose.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Liz Shannon Miller The Bone Temple once again pulls off the 28 Days Later trick of finding moments of grace at the end of the world, with enough beautiful moments to balance out the grotesque ones.

B
Anaconda (2025) Liz Shannon Miller A movie far less scary than its campy 1997 predecessor, but far funnier — on purpose.

Is This Thing On? (2025) Liz Shannon Miller As personal as some of this material feels, it feels like a real collaboration of artists, all enabling Cooper to tell a heartfelt story with universal scope.

B
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Everything is always loud, from the music to the visual design to the emotions. It's an approach ensuring that Cameron's message will be heard by even the most distracted viewer.

A-
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Wake Up Dead Man feels less like the third movie in an ongoing series of mysteries and more like the confident Season 3 of a prestige TV show — one where the creators feel fully seated in their powers, certain to deliver something captivating.

B-
Wicked: For Good (2025) Liz Shannon Miller For Good doesn’t sell Elphaba’s decree that "no good deed will I do again," one of the movie’s many muddled moments. It does, however, reflect an age where every message feels muddled, no hero can be trusted. All we know is that something is rotten here.

B
The Running Man (2025) Liz Shannon Miller The Running Man offers a more anarchic message than we might be used to from standard Hollywood blockbusters, but that message gets drowned out, leaving behind a loud violent romp that's almost a bit too on the nose for these loud violent times of ours.

A-
Predator: Badlands (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Badlands flips the approach and finds something fresh and wonderful and bold as a result — as if James Cameron had made Terminator 2 entirely from the T-800’s point of view.

C+
Bugonia (2025) Liz Shannon Miller For those who loved The Menu, the odds are exceptionally good that Bugonia will also have equal appeal.

B
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Deliver Me from Nowhere doesn’t aim to be the definitive tale of Bruce Springsteen’s life, but it does make smart choices in trying to subtly showcase the reasons why his legacy extends beyond some great rock songs.

A-
Frankenstein (2025) Liz Shannon Miller There’s such humanity and spirit to what del Toro has done that despite the narrative differences, it genuinely feels like the definitive take on Shelley’s classic tale.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl (2025) Liz Shannon Miller The human brain really wasn’t meant to watch 11 lyrics videos in a row, at least without some sort of accompanying herbal refreshment.
Posted Oct 07, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
TRON: Ares (2025) Liz Shannon Miller TRON: Ares doesn’t seem poised to change the culture in anything resembling a similar way; while it has a lot more life to it than the inert TRON: Legacy, Ares keeps its focus on big spectacle as opposed to big ideas.

B+
The Smashing Machine (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Johnson’s most vulnerable moments as Mark are the defeated ones, brought to the screen with minimal melodrama but maximum impact.
Posted Sep 30, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
One Battle After Another (2025) Liz Shannon Miller It almost seems like production on One Battle After Another wrapped yesterday, yet while its focus on issues like immigration and the rise of white supremacy are all too relevant, Anderson never loses sight of his characters.

A-
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Holds onto the real sense that these men, despite everything they've been through, have loved each other almost their entire lives... There's something beautiful about the fact that they've found their way to this moment, after so many decades.
Posted Sep 11, 2025  Edit critic review
B
The Long Walk (2025) Liz Shannon Miller The Long Walk offers a gripping premise, a lot of characters who feel more like loose sketches than fully-realized personalities, and a narrative that maybe has some minor pacing problems towards the end, but is pretty impossible to turn away from.
Posted Sep 02, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Caught Stealing (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Caught Stealing is the furthest thing from an Oscar play but still a surprisingly enjoyable time, a movie where even the end credits have real life and spontaneity to them.

Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Liz Shannon Miller A filmmaking flex that establishes just how good at the fundamentals Lee remains.

Weapons (2025) Liz Shannon Miller A cinematic experience that's powerful, scary, disturbing, and often quite funny.

A-
The Naked Gun (2025) Liz Shannon Miller The relaunch of the classic comedy series captures exactly what made the original, and other movies from the team behind Airplane!, so essential: An almost non-stop onslaught of silly and random moments, always going for the belly laugh.
Posted Jul 30, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Between Happy’s family life and a whole new series of challenges for him to tackle, there’s enough freshness to the plot to keep it from feeling like a total rehash of what came before, while still delivering wild golf stunts and a huge range of cameos.
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Liz Shannon Miller A solid comic book adventure that's not embarrassed by being a comic book adventure — in fact it finds real power in its love for its roots. Hopefully, that's an energy the MCU can carry forward with it.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Eddington (2025) Liz Shannon Miller The one thing that Aster fails to accomplish — the one major issue holding the movie back — is that he never quite explains why he wanted to bring us back to this time in the first place. Especially because in so many ways, we're still living in it.

Smurfs (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Can any sequence in this movie be strictly described as “normal”?
Posted Jul 16, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Superman (2025) Liz Shannon Miller A movie that doesn’t sacrifice its titular character in service to franchise-building. Instead, it focuses on celebrating the values that Superman himself has embodied from the beginning.
Posted Jul 08, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Liz Shannon Miller The second-best Jurassic movie ever made. Admittedly, this isn't as huge a compliment as it could be, given the movies that have preceded it.
Posted Jun 30, 2025  Edit critic review
B
28 Years Later (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Boyle and Garland’s return to the franchise seems deliberately set on reinventing as many cliches as it can, while also exploding our assumptions about what a zombie movie might be.
Posted Jun 18, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
F1 The Movie (2025) Liz Shannon Miller While Tom Cruise did already his big race car movie back in 1990, it’s easy to imagine him watching F1 and seething with jealousy. Because the racing sequences look like they were as thrilling to shoot as they are to watch.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Liz Shannon Miller There are no major new storylines, or characters, or twists, yet somehow the same amount of plot has been stretched from 98 minutes to 125 minutes. HOW? It's truly a mystery.

A-
Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Trachtenberg’s imagination here seems literally boundless. The Predator franchise is more than safe in his hands — it’s thriving.

C+
Ballerina (2025) Liz Shannon Miller As a vehicle to add more lore and nuance to the JWCU — while also delivering numerous fun action sequences — Ballerina functions well. Unfortunately, it fails to give its star a real character to play, or a substantial plotline to follow.

B+
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Liz Shannon Miller There’s nothing seismic here, just a colorful, enjoyable yarn by one of the best cinematic confectioners around. One with some real heart to it.

B+
Pavements (2024) Jonah Krueger Pavements is a genuinely unique watch that turns the idea of a rockumentary upside down. It at once delivers upon fans’ thirst to learn more about the band while respecting the fact that their inconsistent story is part of the appeal.

B
Mountainhead (2025) Liz Shannon Miller It’s hard to imagine the timing being better for this movie as a result, yet it doesn’t promise any solutions or hope for the problem it acknowledges: The way wealth can warp a human soul. The one problem money can’t fix.

B+
Lilo & Stitch (2025) Liz Shannon Miller While it may never fully replace the original in the hearts of its fans, this new Lilo & Stitch manages to capture the real emotion embedded in this story, while also nailing all the fun that comes from an agent of chaos discovering he has a heart.

B-
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Liz Shannon Miller The Final Reckoning is a more successful movie than Dead Reckoning because while Dead Reckoning did have some set pieces that were genuinely fun (such as the car chase through Rome, or the final train sequence), Final Reckoning actually has an ending.
Posted May 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Pink Floyd at Pompeii (1972) Steve Horton The result is that this film isn’t necessarily for the Pink Floyd newbie, as they’ll be hopelessly confused as to who is who — however, they may still be able to take in the incredible music.

Friendship (2024) Clint Worthington Andrew DeYoung plops one of Tim Robinson’s signature losers, with their bugged-out eyes and Gollum-esque posture, into an Ari Aster film of his own making: I Love You, Man meets One Hour Photo.

B+
Thunderbolts* (2025) Liz Shannon Miller In many ways, Thunderbolts* feels like a breath of fresh air and a notable step forward for the MCU as a whole, which is pretty remarkable given that this is a cast of characters where the literal point is that they’re loose ends left adrift.

The Accountant 2 (2025) Liz Shannon Miller When it’s functioning as an action comedy, it’s pretty fun, but director Gavin O’Connor pushes the narrative into some pretty dark places, climaxing with a sequence so that’s so over-the-top grim it almost becomes hilarious.

Sinners (2025) Liz Shannon Miller With Sinners, Ryan Coogler confirms that he has a real talent for exploring and reinventing genres, while still telling a story that feels wholly original.

B
A Minecraft Movie (2025) Liz Shannon Miller It’s the faintest of praise to say that it's the best video game movie Jack Black has made in the last year. However, the Jared Hess-directed adventure is a relatively accessible, often enjoyable adaptation.

B
Death of a Unicorn (2025) Liz Shannon Miller You can only consider “eat the rich” to be a zeitgeist-y concept if you forget about things like the French Revolution, but in these post-Succession/billionaire-dominated times, it doesn’t feel like a surprise that these stories have a cathartic effect.

Disney's Snow White (2025) Liz Shannon Miller At the end of the day, the best parts of Snow White are the parts that feel genuinely real and authentic. If only there were more of those, and less screen time spent dancing in the realm of mind-breaking absurdity.
Posted Mar 19, 2025  Edit critic review
The Electric State (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on this muddled sci-fi adventure, filled with a lot of big ideas and ending with a message that virtual reality is bad and connecting with other people is good. (Bold and brave, to be sure.)
Posted Mar 14, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Mickey 17 (2025) Liz Shannon Miller Mickey 17 probably isn’t the Parasite follow-up anyone was really expecting — an often wild, narratively messy sci-fi comedy that definitely feels like it got re-edited a whole bunch between filming and release.
Posted Mar 04, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
The Monkey (2025) Liz Shannon Miller A movie that, above all else, invites you to laugh at the horrors of the world. Which, right now, feels really, really good.

B-
Paddington in Peru (2024) Paolo Ragusa Another sweet, warm-hearted entry in the Paddington catalog, albeit one that feels more like a detour or spinoff episode than an illuminating, well-rounded conclusion.
