4/10
Mercy (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman The AI boogieman that’s stalking Hollywood is not a new cinematic plot device. "Mercy" makes the frightful contrivance seem dated, tired, and ultimately not much of a threat.

Dead Man's Wire (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman It’s deftly directed, perfectly performed, and acerbically funny.

Night Patrol (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Unfortunately, the screenplay of "Night Patrol" feels like the writing team kept brainstorming while making the film and never stopped adding things.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman a solid middle film in what’s shaping up to be an epic science fiction/horror trilogy.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Jonathan W. Hickman The frightful journey is a bit of an exhausting grind, but the film’s short running time and Butler’s sturdy presence keep things humming along.

The Plague (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman … an unusual, nerve-racking, tightly wound dramatic thriller.

Marty Supreme (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman … a hugely entertaining film that sells table tennis as a supremely underappreciated sport.

The Secret Agent (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "The Secret Agent" is a fascinating and tense thriller written with intention.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The overly busy narrative left little room for the genuine emotional connection that many viewers, like me, felt watching the original.

Dust Bunny (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Strange, bizarre, and terrifically weird, writer/director Bryan Fuller’s ambitious "Dust Bunny" should whet the appetite of fantasy fans hungry for a mature fairy tale.

Rental Family (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "Rental Family" introduces a fascinating premise but is unsure what to do with it or which characters to trust to carry the film.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman I liked Father Jud well enough, but I wanted more Blanc even if that meant nothing more than learning where he gets his suits or what brand of gin he prefers in his Negroni.

Hamnet (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The remarkable thing about "Hamnet" is that even at its blackest moments, there is beauty on display. It’s a tricky combination of stark storytelling and textured imagery.

5/10
Jay Kelly (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The goodwill on display by the lovable cast acts to undermine the movie’s message, one that should have shared Baumbach’s expected acerbic wit.

7/10
Wicked: For Good (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The box-checking might satisfy fans, but the rush to cover it all puts "For Good’s" closing act firmly behind its immensely emotive predecessor.

8/10
Natchez (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The finely constructed documentary feature "Natchez" is much more than a travelogue, a profile of a single place. It’s a rich and provocative exploration of America’s past and its fraught future.

5/10
The Running Man (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman "The Running Man" is a scattershot, frustrating attempt to track the source material rather than using it as a jumping-off point for another of Wright’s entertaining adventures.

7/10
Nuremberg (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Nuremberg” is lavish, grand, old-school filmmaking worthy of theatrical exhibition.

Die My Love (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The film starts as a meandering, ponderous exploration of postpartum depression, but when Ramsay finally sets her hook, it digs deep.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Predator: Badlands” is the Alien-Predator mashup that fans have been craving.

Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The turgid narrative turns unforgivingly hostile, even with Colin Farrell doing solid work.

Bugonia (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The talented director’s focus should be on crafting better narratives.

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman This behind-the-scenes glimpse into movie history will entertain cineastes, but others may struggle to engage with and understand the point of it all.

Shelby Oaks (2023) Jonathan W. Hickman "Shelby Oaks" is too clean, too well produced, and too fake for its own good.

TRON: Ares (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman With its thunderous, overbearing Nine Inch Nails score, colorful, impressive computer-generated effects, and zippy action-driven pacing, “Tron: Ares” is passable theatrical entertainment.

8/10
Good Boy (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman What struck me was that Leonberg’s film is a horror movie based on crushing reality. And as the film’s brisk running time nears the end, that crush hits like a ton of bricks.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “The Smashing Machine” is a tale of two early MMA champions. It is also about the origin of a violent sport embraced by a violent society that celebrates physical, mental, and emotional carnage.

One Battle After Another (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Paul Thomas Anderson’s mesmerizing thriller about the implosion of a group of political revolutionaries is as provocative as it is entertaining. It will engage, enrage, and excite any viewer regardless of ideological leanings.

London Calling (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The best thing about “London Calling” is the use of the classic title tune by The Clash in the film’s end credits.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Farrell and Robbie are pleasing to spend time with, but they are forced to say stilted and awkward things that undermine anything approximating relatable charisma.

2/10
Tin Soldier (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The storyline is relatively straightforward, but the telling is incoherent. It’s the most indescribably odd and bizarre movie with an A-list cast that I’ve seen in a long time.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The valiant attempt by Curtis and Fellowes is to wrap everything up as pleasantly as possible. And that goal is handsomely accomplished in a perfectly pleasing feature outing.

The Long Walk (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman It’s a well-made, skillfully acted film that is to be experienced and pondered upon more than enjoyed.

6/10
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman It’s not particularly scary, but it works because we’re now fully invested in the Warrens and the toll that their work as paranormal investigators has on their marriage and their sensitive daughter, Judy.

7/10
Splitsville (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman What worked with such disarming poignancy in their 2019 collaboration, “The Climb,” works less so here, but the odd off-kilter magic still manages to produce hilarious moments and sentimental introspection.

Twinless (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Twinless” captures the inner torment perfectly, with O’Brien painting the loss with teary doe eyes and anguished expressions.

Caught Stealing (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Caught Stealing” is a gritty throwback crime outing worthy of anything in the sub-genre.

Ne Zha II (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Ne Zha II” is a weird but entertaining experience.

Relay (2024) Jonathan W. Hickman “Relay” suffers from a lackluster threat factor and languid pacing as it limps to its tedious extended end.

Honey Don't! (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Honey Don’t!” is a charming detective picture with a hero most viewers will want to get behind.

Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman The critical debate among cineastes will no doubt focus on whether Wright should be in the David King role.

Weapons (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman Cregger's hard horror methods deliver chilling results that somehow don’t overstep and don’t fall prey to exploitative unpleasantness.

Freakier Friday (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman “Freakier Friday” is a light-hearted body-swap movie that rides on Curtis’s ability to balance remarkably between wacky comedy and genuine drama.

The Naked Gun (2025) Jonathan W. Hickman … possibly the best take on the spoof genre since the 1980s.
