Mercy (2026) Kurt Loder Ferguson spends the entire movie staring straight into the camera as she murmurs lines whose only purpose is to hustle the story along to the next mildly surprising turn -- a waste of a fine actor.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Kurt Loder Doesn't disappoint.

Dead Man's Wire (2025) Kurt Loder Van Sant puts the movie over with the help of a well-chosen cast and a wonderfully frazzled performance by his star, Bill Skarsgård.

Marty Supreme (2025) Kurt Loder The movie's many actors are adventurously cast. But there are so many performers in the picture that they crowd each other out in memory. (Was that David Mamet? Sandra Bernhard? Could a bit more not be found for Fran Drescher to do as Marty's mom?)

Dust Bunny (2025) Kurt Loder What holds the movie back from the cult-classic status it might have attained is the tsunami of CGI — much of it brilliant — which is the picture's true subject.

Left-Handed Girl (2025) Kurt Loder Shot on iPhones, the movie captures the unfamiliar flavors of Taipei — the nasal growl of cruising scooters, the zing and ping of all-night arcade games — in a bracingly raw light.

The Carpenter's Son (2025) Kurt Loder Jupe has the misfortune to be effortlessly outshone by the movie's true star, Isla Johnston.

Nuremberg (2025) Kurt Loder The two principals — Malek's Kelley and Crowe's Goering — are both unsympathetic and, in the case of Malek's character, not even very interesting.

Bugonia (2025) Kurt Loder The bug alluded to in the title is the humble honeybee, whose pollinating peregrinations keep the Earth's greenery going and grocery aisles stocked. The human characters, however, are the truly buggy ones....

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Kurt Loder it's like "Strangelove" without the laughs...

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Kurt Loder Rose Byrne rules.
Posted Oct 10, 2025  Edit critic review
The Smashing Machine (2025) Kurt Loder Two hours is more time than this movie needs to tell its story.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
One Battle After Another (2025) Kurt Loder The movie is diminished by its baggy runtime (two hours and 41 minutes) and the ambiguity of its time frame.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
HIM (2025) Kurt Loder A wild, violent art movie-- not dull, at least, but exhausting.
Posted Sep 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) Kurt Loder Seems intended as a sweet farewell to this beloved crew, one that won't scuff the luster of the first "Spinal Tap." Sadly, in this it does not entirely succeed.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
The Baltimorons (2025) Kurt Loder But the movie gets over on pure charm, and if you take the time to see it now, it can inhabit your heart until this year's Yuletide actually arrives.
Posted Sep 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Caught Stealing (2025) Kurt Loder The movie is generous with its violence — one character loses a kidney, another loses her mind (you might say), and there's a gunfire fiesta at a Russian nightclub that should keep connoisseurs of such stuff content at least until they get home.
Posted Aug 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Honey Don't! (2025) Kurt Loder You know who might have made a story like this work? The Coen brothers.
Posted Aug 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Nobody 2 (2025) Kurt Loder The fearless Sharon Stone doesn't just chew the scenery here — she all but swallows it whole.
Posted Aug 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) Kurt Loder There are some fright-lightening chuckles, but the movie's central intention is to creep you out and to knock you back in your seat with highly persuasive demonstrations of skin-ripping and skull-pulping.
Posted Aug 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Naked Gun (2025) Kurt Loder Pretty much a bull's-eye reboot of the 1988 comedy hit, which featured the blissfully inane (and now departed) Leslie Nielsen.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Kurt Loder What distinguishes the movie from the usual superhero product is its willingness to tell a kinder, gentler story at a less-than-usually over-cranked pace.
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Sovereign (2025) Kurt Loder The movie is illuminated by top-level performances by Offerman, who has possibly never been better, and by Jacob Tremblay and Dennis Quaid, also at or near their best.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Kurt Loder Not bad.

The Old Guard 2 (2025) Kurt Loder Andy and company are a world-weary bunch — they've seen it all and are now a little bored by it all. This is a problem: After a while, we become a little bored by them...

M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Kurt Loder Still fun, just not quite as much.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
28 Years Later (2025) Kurt Loder Opens up new areas of exploration in the zombie genre while maintaining the spine-ripping gut-munchery that fans demand.

Materialists (2025) Kurt Loder Another client, a woman, is more seriously dissatisfied with the date Lucy set her up on: "He's the kind of guy who gets drunk and follows you into the bathroom."

Ballerina (2025) Kurt Loder Ana de Armas is a virtual dervish of destruction -- butt-kicking is her business, and business is good.

The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Kurt Loder Doesn't repay the close attention that would be required to keep track of its underpowered plot.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Kurt Loder Cruise's fierce dedication to doing his own stunts has evolved into a franchise of its own.

Sharp Corner (2024) Kurt Loder But soon darkness starts to gather, and before long a story that has started out in the unexciting suburbs of Toronto takes a left turn into Hell.

Another Simple Favor (2025) Kurt Loder Costume designer Renee Ehrlich Kalfus provides Lively with a series of knockout ensembles, including a great floppy sun hat with a brim broad enough to shelter a family of four.
Posted May 02, 2025  Edit critic review
The Accountant 2 (2025) Kurt Loder The surprising thing about the movie is how much fun it is. If you were planning to see "The Amateur" or "A Working Man" at the 'plex this weekend, let me save you a letdown.

The Shrouds (2024) Kurt Loder The movie is rich in the Cronenberg mood, which is wintry even in its most jarring moments.

The Amateur (2025) Kurt Loder Based on a 1981 Canadian secret-agent movie as forgotten today as this one will probably be 44 years from now.
Posted Apr 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Friend (2024) Kurt Loder The star of the movie -- or the presiding spirit, maybe -- is a 150-pound dog, a Great Dane called Apollo (played with effortless expertise by a Great Dane called Bing).

Thank You Very Much (2023) Kurt Loder "It was conceptual and it was pure," Michaels says of Andy's 'Gatsby' bit. "I wish I could say it was popular."

Disney's Snow White (2025) Kurt Loder How much does it suck, you ask?

Black Bag (2025) Kurt Loder People brought up on old-school spy movies, with their garish villains and endless set-piece action scenes, might find this one a little underwhelming. There are quiet compensations, though.

Chaos: The Manson Murders (2025) Kurt Loder Having taken time out to be dead since 2017, Charlie Manson is back among us once again, crazy as ever and maybe even creepier.

The Monkey (2025) Kurt Loder Director Perkins is clearly at home in the grindhouse terror dome, but he doesn't have the exuberance of such throat-ripping luminaries as Eli Roth or Ari Aster or, Lord knows, Quentin Tarantino.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Kurt Loder Less than super...
Posted Feb 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Love Hurts (2025) Kurt Loder What we mainly get is a lot of martial arts mayhem, with comical thugs leaping and kicking and flying through the air — the sort of thing that's so familiar by now we could probably pull it off ourselves.
Posted Feb 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Companion (2025) Kurt Loder A lively stir-fry of sci-fi, rom-com, crime thriller and clever, straight-faced comedy.

Presence (2024) Kurt Loder At the age of 62, Soderbergh is still an indie wonder-kid at heart.

Better Man (2024) Kurt Loder Releasing a $110-million musical biopic about Williams in a country long indifferent to his talents seems an utterly mad undertaking. Especially since the star of the picture — the one playing Williams — is, unapologetically, a monkey.
Posted Jan 17, 2025  Edit critic review
A Complete Unknown (2024) Kurt Loder Chalamet conveys both the whooping energy of Dylan in his prime and the seductive intimacy of his earliest albums, especially "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan," a record now more than 60 years old.

Babygirl (2024) Kurt Loder Before long they're having afternoon assignations, in which Harris tells Romy to get on her knees and remove her underwear — the kind of thing that all women like to hear as soon as possible.
Posted Dec 27, 2024  Edit critic review
Nosferatu (2024) Kurt Loder There's not a lot to be scared by. But the picture looks terrific, from the stormy seas and velvety snowfall to the herd of gypsies fooling around with their hoop drums and ouds and muttering in Romanian accents as thick as boiled oats.
