28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Rachel Leishman
|
Both Kelson’s storyline and the Jimmys storyline come together in a beautiful way to show an audience how differently people can react to things like a global outbreak.

Each song flows so beautifully with the rest of the songs in the piece that you get excited by the newest song presented to you.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants
(2025)

The film is a fun adventure for Spongebob but what made it something special, to me, was the way that Spongebob’s friendships were explored.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)
|
Rachel Leishman

If you go into the Avatar movies only for the beauty of Pandora and not the substance of the story, then you’ll be fine. But it feels like just another “look at this CGI I did” film and not like anything that expands the world of Avatar.

I was captivated by him. Often, we see determination as a negative thing. But everyone you know who is famous has that same drive that Marty does.

Wicked: For Good
(2025)
|
Rachel Leishman

The saving grace of Wicked: For Good are the songs in Act 2 that already work. “No Good Deed” has always been my stand out and the same goes for Erivo’s version of it.

The Running Man harkens back to the Harrison Ford days when you always knew you were in for a good time with one of his action movies. And I’ve missed this kind of action film.

Biopics aren’t easy but Christy allows its main character to be flawed and real in a way that we haven’t seen a lot of. But it is a hard film to watch.

Horror can turn camp very easily and we can also have horror films that don’t take their audience seriously. Whistle does none of this but instead feels like a nod to the classics while being original and fun.
