Send Help (2026) Edward Douglas Raimi’s gleeful return to creating gross-out shocks and laughs is indeed quite welcome.

Clika (2026) Edward Douglas There was nothing about watching this story unfold made me any more interested in Jay Dee as an artist. Clearly, this movie was not made for "gringos" like me.

The Vortex (2025) Edward Douglas A relatively harmless one-setting noir drama that showcases some fine acting by Billy Gardell and others in the supporting cast.

Standout: The Ben Kjar Story (2025) Edward Douglas An amazing and truly inspirational story -- I’d easily consider it as an early contender for best documentary of the year, because I cannot recommend it highly enough

Holding Liat (2025) Edward Douglas This is an amazing story and film, one that’s quite emotional and teary, and maybe not the movie about the Hammas attack or its aftermath some might be expecting.

Dead Man's Wire (2025) Edward Douglas A true-crime thriller that leaves you wanting to know more, because it’s so incredibly well done.

6.5/10
OBEX (2025) Edward Douglas I didn’t hate Obex, but I’m sure others, who are more into this sort of thing, will enjoy it more, and I’ll still be curious about what Birney chooses to do next.

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Edward Douglas I walked away thinking that maybe people at these call centers should get better training.

I Was a Stranger (2024) Edward Douglas A strong dramatic look at the migrant situation, particularly from Syria, with an ending that’s quite thought-provoking.

Primate (2025) Edward Douglas Primate might be as silly or stupid as it sounds, but it does get wildly entertaining as it goes along.

The Mannequin (2025) Edward Douglas Ends up being a mélange of bad ideas that never fully deliver.

No Pictures With My Father (2025) Edward Douglas Despite its no-frills approach, it’s a film that could really help heal some people.

6.5/10
The Plague (2025) Edward Douglas It’s apparent that Polinger had an idea of what he wanted to achieve, but maybe not so many ideas on how to execute that idea in an effective way.

7/10
The Choral (2025) Edward Douglas Perfectly pleasant if somewhat imperfect, The Choral is a fine time at the movies, allowing people to appreciate how one community comes together to fight against adversity.

7.5/10
No Other Choice (2025) Edward Douglas Explores such a timely and relatable subject in a frequently amusing way -- while it does go off on too many tangents, it eventually finds its way back to build to a satisfying ending.

6/10
Anaconda (2025) Edward Douglas An attempted horror-comedy that never fully commits to picking its lane, Anaconda is so instantly forgettable, one wonders why anyone even bothered

David (2025) Edward Douglas Set aside your cynicism to enjoy an entertaining animated film for the whole family.

The Housemaid (2025) Edward Douglas For the most part, it’s quite obvious and very predictable … until it isn’t.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Edward Douglas Up there with the original movie in terms of offering satisfaction for those who have stuck with Cameron thus far.

Stalkers (2025) Edward Douglas "This is just dreadful, like the most inept sub-par Cinemax flick possible with very little to offer."

Dust Bunny (2025) Edward Douglas Just grows tiresome as it gets sillier and sillier as it goes along, making the whole movie feel like a bit of a "Huh???"
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
7.5/10
Resurrection (2025) Edward Douglas A movie that blends arthouse with genre filmmaking to create a hauntingly pleasant enigma of a film.

5/10
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Edward Douglas The best thing I can say about this remake is that it isn’t as horrendously offensive and just plain disgusting to watch as last year’s Terrifier 3. But very little is.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) Edward Douglas It’s a movie that really stands the test of time and may be even better now than it was when I first saw it in theaters.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
9/10
Song Sung Blue (2025) Edward Douglas Song Sung Blue isn’t just a movie for Neil Diamond fans, because it’s not just a movie about Neil Diamond, as much as it’s a movie about two people and their blended families brought together through the love of his music.

6.5/10
Hamnet (2025) Edward Douglas It clearly has something to say, not just about Shakespeare, but about grief and being human, unlike anything we’ve seen before.
Posted Dec 04, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/10
Fackham Hall (2025) Edward Douglas As a Monty Python fan of over four decades, Fackham Hall doesn’t even come close in terms of humor. Fack this.

5/10
100 Nights of Hero (2025) Edward Douglas Comes across as nothing more than feminist wankfodder, often neglecting the concept of compelling storytelling or character development to create a worthwhile viewing experience for anyone who actually PAYS to see these movies.

7.5/10
Marty Supreme (2025) Edward Douglas It won’t be for everyone, and the insanely manic middle section might turn anyone off, who may just be expecting a quirkier take on the sports drama by Safdie.
Posted Dec 01, 2025  Edit critic review
Teenage Wasteland (2025) Edward Douglas Teenage Wasteland proves that you have to start small with a project close to home, which will then allow you to tackle bigger issues.

6/10
Zootopia 2 (2025) Edward Douglas Throws an endless stream of puns, sight gags, and new characters at the viewer to distract them from realizing that, at the film’s core, it’s a very weak and confusing story.
Posted Nov 25, 2025  Edit critic review
5.5/10
The Secret Agent (2025) Edward Douglas The results are truly a disappointment, as Filho just piles on all sorts of incongruities and silliness rather than focusing on telling a compelling story. This has to be Filho’s worst film to date, and as a former Brazilian, it saddens me greatly.

The American Southwest (2025) Edward Douglas Just a gorgeous and glorious film that has a clear and inherent message to share amidst its stunning visuals, without making the viewer feel as if they’re going to school.

Grace Point (2023) Edward Douglas Not quite Deliverance, but it never intends to be, and it’s still a solid Southern indie thriller doing its own thing.

Rental Family (2025) Edward Douglas Warm, sweet and wonderful, this is certainly a welcome exchange from the dark and cynical world in which we currently live.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Edward Douglas If you loved the first movie, there’s no reason for you not to be just as excited for its conclusion.

Keeper (2025) Edward Douglas Perkins’ most effective and original horror movie yet, and the results are absolutely terrifying!

Left-Handed Girl (2025) Edward Douglas Ms. Tsou’s storytelling skills, along with Baker’s able editing, makes Left Handed Girl a very special film and one of the best films of the year.

Rebuilding (2025) Edward Douglas Nothing really happens for so much of the movie that it’s beyond aggravating ... there are so many better iterations of this exact same movie already out there.

Sirāt (2025) Edward Douglas Anyone ready for the amount of tension thrown their way, with some of the horrific events taking place will constantly be curious about what might happen next.

5.5/10
The Carpenter's Son (2025) Edward Douglas Nicolas Cage just seems to be in a different movie than everyone else, and it was an oddly missed opportunity to not call this movie "Biblical Treasure."

8/10
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Edward Douglas Might be the first of the three films that truly delivers on that premise with endless fun and entertainment, even for those who may not have been around for the first two movies

7/10
Pistachio Wars (2024) Edward Douglas Interest in the subject may vary, depending on your previous knowledge about it and whether it affects your own life, but it’s a short enough film that it never feels like time wasted.

7/10
Nuremberg (2025) Edward Douglas More than a straight remake of Judgment at Nuremberg, it keeps the viewer riveted with the terrific performances by its cast.

Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness (2025) Edward Douglas Should be particularly revelatory to anyone who regularly makes art… but isn’t earning a living by doing so.

Christy (2025) Edward Douglas This attempt to tell Christy Martin’s story is done in such a dull and bland way, it fails to live up to the real woman’s achievements.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Edward Douglas Trachtenberg’s magnum opus far surpasses anything we might normally get from a sci-fi action film.

Unbanked (2025) Edward Douglas A fascinating and informative watch, especially for those who have been unable to fathom the very idea of Bitcoin and the future it holds.

Love+War (2025) Edward Douglas A great doc to watch on the big screen if only to admire Addario’s photography and her journey in the best possible way.

Anniversary (2025) Edward Douglas A grueling watch that’s almost impossible to recommend ... this just isn’t a particularly entertaining or memorable movie.
