2/5
The Wrecking Crew (2026) Robert Kojder All The Wrecking Crew does is repeatedly damage itself, destined to be another forgotten big-budget waste of algorithmic streaming space

3.5/5
The Last First: Winter K2 (2026) Robert Kojder This is another spectacular accomplishment in this subgenre visually, but this time, there isn’t much of a happy ending. It isn’t trying to give viewers a similar high, but also a reality check
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Shitheads (2026) Robert Kojder Every time writer/director Macon Blair throws a new wrinkle into the plotting of The Shitheads, sometimes switching up subgenres entirely as he is typically known to do, there are diminishing returns from the outrageously funny first act

3/5
Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) Robert Kojder It’s a hoot with a brilliant body-horror/comedy metaphor and some endearing practical effects

2.5/5
Mercy (2026) Robert Kojder A morally repugnant thrill ride

2/5
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Robert Kojder Director Christophe Gans understands Silent Hill so arrestingly and vividly when it comes to visual nightmare fuel that it makes it all the more frustrating that, with this story, he still doesn’t "get" what he is adapting

In Cold Light (2025) Robert Kojder Underwritten doesn’t even begin to describe it

3.5/5
The Rip (2026) Robert Kojder More than a gift to see Ben Affleck and Matt Damon reunited on screen, this is a genius stroke of casting for writer/director Joe Carnahan’s paranoia-laced crime thriller The Rip that, well, rips

2/5
Night Patrol (2025) Robert Kojder Although the gore effects are impressive, Night Patrol is a scattered mess, sometimes too comfortable switching perspectives, even if it means killing off a main character, simply because the filmmakers have no idea what else to do with them
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Robert Kojder 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a sadistically violent bloodbath, but one with substance, unsettling beauty, feeling, and some left-field showstopping sequences as worthy as what was tonally teased
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
All You Need Is Kill (2025) Robert Kojder This take on All You Need Is Kill opts to ride the wave of the action-oriented high-concept premise for all its worth, with little story pauses and maximum thrills, aided by resplendent animation
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Killer Whale (2026) Robert Kojder Killer Whale doesn’t work as an entertaining creature feature or as a character study of grief and trauma
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
The Magnificent Seven (1960) Brad Cook If you haven’t seen it and you enjoy westerns and/or Kurosawa’s samurai films, you should check it out.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) EJ Moreno A perfect zombie movie, brimming with both brutality and beauty, has emerged as an early contender for one of the best horror films of 2026.

Stand by Me (1986) Oli Davis The child cast are faultless throughout.

1.5/5
Sleepwalker (2026) Robert Kojder By itself, sleepwalking is a frightening condition posing several possibilities for endangerment. That’s one way of saying Sleepwalker doesn’t need all the absurd nonsense writer/director Brandon Auman has in store
Posted Jan 10, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Robert Kojder The chemistry and charm from the performances rise above the familiarity of the plot. People We Meet on Vacation is both a rom-com throwback and one that uses its clichés as a strength, even for cynics coming in
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Robert Kojder Greenland 2: Migration is stuffed with visually impressive spectacle and an emotional core worthy of that chaos
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Primate (2025) Robert Kojder Not without some memorable kills, Primate is so eager to get to the horror aspect that Ben’s presence and importance to this family are never established or emotionally felt, which flattens much of the investment it wants in the survival aspect
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
OBEX (2025) Robert Kojder A fantastical adventure inside screens and across a fantasy realm that has more on its mind than adoration for that style, but rather the role screens can play to anyone, and a man’s personal journey to conquer his limitations in the real world
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
Primate (2025) EJ Moreno Simple and effective. This is the exact type of crowd-pleasing horror movie we need to kick off the year.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
We Bury the Dead (2024) Robert Kojder The performances across the board are strong, with Daisy Ridley’s quieter, tender, and empathetic turn completely in line with what Zak Hilditch accomplishes in We Bury the Dead
Posted Jan 01, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
The Dutchman (2025) Robert Kojder It’s a film about identity that suffers an identity crisis of its own. This is undoubtedly a more admirable swing than straight-up adapting The Dutchman, but it also never figures out what it actually wants to do with that swing
Posted Jan 01, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
No Other Choice (2025) Robert Kojder Apparently, for Park Chan-wook, the only choice is to make great films, never settling for anything less
Posted Dec 26, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
H Is for Hawk (2025) Robert Kojder A chore that is intermittently engaging due to Clare Foy’s bird co-star, while dragging out its story without ever entirely making good on the slightly different angle to this material
Posted Dec 26, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Anaconda (2025) Robert Kojder Somewhere between novel topical Hollywood spoof, remake, and legacy sequel, Anaconda is a breath of fresh air in some respects, although severely flawed
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Robert Kojder Remarkably hypnotic in its craftsmanship, with a flat-out career-best performance from Amanda Seyfried, who blends all of her strengths as an actor and unleashes them at the peak of her talent
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Plague (2025) Robert Kojder The Plague is an uncomfortably raw body horror take on hazing during an impressionable time in one’s life and its effects on the psyche
Posted Dec 24, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Robert Kojder Song Sung Blue is a deeply embarrassing piece of awards bait that would make for an incredibly funny Walk Hard riff

3/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Robert Kojder It’s another action-packed technical marvel with sincere, endearing heroes and magnetic villains, but the cyclical narrative is starting to wear thin and yield diminishing returns
Posted Dec 17, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Is This Thing On? (2025) Robert Kojder With an arguably career-best performance from Will Arnett, Is This Thing On? richly navigates stand-up comedy as therapy and authentically messy relationship dynamics
Posted Dec 17, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Housemaid (2025) Robert Kojder That the second half of The Housemaid, which lays out the details behind the obvious and fully embraces trashiness with a sprinkling of truly sinister behavior, is as intense as it is, only makes the earlier shortcomings more frustrating
Posted Dec 17, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Christine (1983) Chris Ward The characters are archetypal but done well, making them easy to relate to, and despite not having any major stars involved the performances are still good and mostly memorable.
Posted Dec 15, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Model Behaviour (2013) Ryan O'Neill Although the final act and resolution may not be satisfying to all tastes and the film’s relatively low budget and production values lend the film an uneven quality at times, this is a solid thriller sure to find an audience amongst fans of the genre.
Posted Dec 15, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Goodbye June (2025) Robert Kojder One wants to say goodbye to all these characters about halfway through without caring if they reconcile their differences or not

The President's Cake (2025) Robert Kojder The President’s Cake is sweet, nerve-racking, and devastating

5/5
Primitive War (2025) Tom Atkinson Primitive War is, improbably, the most entertaining dinosaur film in years. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, brutal and oddly sincere. It knows its audience. It knows its influences. And it is an action movie with enough bite to make a Tyrannosaurus proud.

1.5/5
Ella McCay (2025) Robert Kojder While it has flashes of the usual quirks and charm one would want from a James L. Brooks film, it is also tone-deaf, airless, and doesn’t engage much
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Dust Bunny (2025) Robert Kojder Dust Bunny relies heavily on its central metaphor but is elevated by the charm of its lead performances and their interplay. Sure, there isn’t much here regarding depth, but that’s made up for with imagination

3/5
True Lies (1994) Brad Cook Again, it’s not an awful movie. It’s a fun ride, and if you enjoy it, awesome.

5/5
The Terminator (1984) Gary Collinson The relentless nightmarish pursuer, thrilling action, committed performances, and some good dry humour injected in places, mark this film as a classic. Just ignore the dodgy Arnold puppet.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
A Private Life (2025) Robert Kojder This is an entertaining mystery with some compelling character work and an engrossing, controlled spiral of a bumbling performance from Jodie Foster

3/5
Fackham Hall (2025) Robert Kojder Fackham Hall is Naked Gun by way of Downton Abbey. It is as stupidly hilarious as that concept sounds

4/5
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) Ricky Church If you’re a fan of Tarantino’s earlier work and of the Kill Bill films, The Whole Bloody Affair is the definitive way to watch this iconic story.

The Abyss (1989) Brad Cook The Abyss is a James Cameron film that I put in my “It’s okay” bucket.

3.5/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Robert Kojder Breathlessly kinetic, exhaustively electric, and somehow continuously tops itself in crazed chaos, but with frustrating characterizations that could be the result of director Josh Safdie going solo without his brother Benny this time
Posted Dec 04, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Robert Kojder A sequel that has almost nothing to do and nowhere to go beyond shoehorning in lore references, what are presumably key items from the games, and more incomprehensibly dumb character twists
Posted Dec 04, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Chronology of Water (2025) Robert Kojder Ambitiously experimental, director Kristen Stewart is using every tool at her disposal to create a lyrical, full-fledged assault on the senses of fractured memories and trauma
Posted Dec 04, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
100 Nights of Hero (2025) Robert Kojder For such a tantalizing premise, there might as well be about 100 ways 100 Nights of Hero undercuts itself
Posted Dec 04, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Men of Sherwood Forest (1954) Chris Ward The Men of Sherwood Forest may be a lot of fun, full of derring-do, charm and a vibrant colour palette to show off Hammer’s new (for them) technology, but unless you are a Robin Hood fanatic it doesn’t really have much of a rewatch value
