We Bury the Dead (2024) Michael Ward ... a thoughtful, restrained take on the zombie film genre.

Primate (2025) Michael Ward With an audience, Primate was fun. The person behind me kept kicking my seat out of nervousness, anxiousness, and not being able to sit still. I didn’t mind.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Michael Ward Chu may have proven those skeptics right after all, as he delivers a (sequel) that never truly justifies its own existence.

One Battle After Another (2025) Michael Ward One Battle After Another feels like something of an assessment and performance review of America in its present state. Unruly and unforgettable, this is one of 2025’s defining films.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Michael Ward ... once this cast clicks and finds their groove together ... you start to envision these four actors making The Fantastic Four meaningful within the MCU.

The Wedding Banquet (2025) Michael Ward In a cinematic landscape where queer stories are increasingly rare, The Wedding Banquet has its heart in the right place.
Posted Apr 20, 2025  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Sinners (2025) Michael Ward The horror works. The tension is real. The acting is impressive. And so is the writing. (Ryan) Coogler could likely have gotten by just fine making a straight-up vampire flick. But he has dug much, much deeper.

3/5
Warfare (2025) Michael Ward We may remain in awe of what we have seen. (But) without that human connection, Warfare, in many ways, becomes the very spectacle it desperately wants to avoid.

A Minecraft Movie (2025) Michael Ward As a mindless and thoughtless nostalgia trip that brings Minecraft to life for devoted fans of the game, A Minecraft Movie will likely be enough. But it could have been so much more.

4.5/5
Bob Trevino Likes It (2024) Michael Ward Tracie Laymon’s film hits deep when reminding us that one person or one voice offering one moment of kindness can be foundational to repairing and restoring us.

2/5
Disney's Snow White (2025) Michael Ward There’s no dazzle. There’s no sense of wonder. No real sense of suspense or dramatic power. Everything is spoon fed to us through colors, visuals, dialogue, and music. There is no reason to think about any of this.

3.5/5
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Michael Ward The Day the Earth Blew Up is far from a throwaway. The movie is actually quite entertaining. Genuinely funny. Why people played “Hot Potato” with this film makes little to no sense.

In the Lost Lands (2025) Michael Ward Nonsensical, ugly, noisy, and profoundly boring, In the Lost Lands is a wandering, rambling wreck of a movie that is better left lost and forgotten for all involved.

2.5/5
Last Breath (2025) Michael Ward ... nothing is really ever in doubt and most would be better served watching the original documentary to experience the thrills and intensity this movie strives to achieve.

4/5
My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) Michael Ward ... the longer it goes, and the more patient you are watching it, the emotional elements of the story take hold and are hard to dismiss.

1.5/5
The Unbreakable Boy (2025) Michael Ward Watching The Unbreakable Boy, one should not wonder if we are referencing a teenage boy on the autism spectrum, stricken with brittle bone disease, or the selfish, narcissistic, father who overcomes his dependency through a belief in God. Yet here we are.

Flow (2024) Michael Ward ... a cat who is as resilient as any hero you fill find in any movie released in recent years.
