All You Need Is Kill
(2025)
|
Matt Rodriguez
|
A more faithful adaptation of the original light novel than Edge of Tomorrow but still differentiates itself from other interpretations to make this time loop worth repeating, even if you're already familiar with the franchise.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

A slow burn that cuts to the bone, expanding the mythos while delivering some of the most insane set pieces the franchise has ever seen.

Primate
(2025)
|
Matt Rodriguez
|
It's a straightforward, if not a little generic, addition to the horror genre that features some brutal death scenes but is forgettable in most every other aspect. Primate is one ape not worth going bananas over.

Wicked: For Good returns to close out the second act of the musical, and while Wicked defied gravity, the sequel inevitably comes falling back down.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You has a lot to say on motherhood, and while not all of Bronstein's ideas stick their landing, the film will without a doubt leave you a nervous wreck.

One Battle After Another
(2025)

Matt Rodriguez

There's quite a bit of humor to dampen the impact, but make no mistake, the action thriller pulls zero punches in showing how explosive, scary, and at times ridiculous the world we live in has gotten.

Deaf President Now! recounts the student protests of 1988 that resulted in the appointment of Gallaudet's first deaf president. It's an uplifting and powerful documentary that shines a light on the importance and power of protests.

(2025)

The set pieces are spectacular and dazzling for any fan of the franchise, but they're not enough to save the franchise from its own disappointing story setbacks. The Final Reckoning is one Mission: Impossible I'm not eager to accept.

Thunderbolts* excels in how it embraces its darker themes to create a more compelling narrative that makes you care about these characters. In looking at the darkness within themselves, Thunderbolts* becomes a shinning light during the MCU's darkest days.

Sinners is a symphony of booze, blood, and blues that oozes character out of every frame as it explores that give and take of life. The vampires may draw you in, but it's Ryan Coogler's masterful storytelling that will leave you thirsting for more.

Captain America: Brave New World

A serviceable sequel that sees a return to form for Keaton, who jumps right back into the black and white pinstripe suit like he never took it off. But it also struggles with an overstuffed story that underutilizes the rest of the cast.

(2024)
