Marty Supreme (2025) Mae Abdulbaki Marty Supreme is at once a charming, energetic, and frustrating film. But it also boasts one of Timothée Chalamet’s best performances, which alleviates many of the film’s biggest flaws.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Sherin Nicole On the strength of its sensitivities, Zootopia 2 is applause-worthy on multiple levels... The bunny-and-fox cops leave no doubts, this udderly human and hilarious harpooning of societal ills is the G.O.A.T. of 21st-century fables.

Is This Thing On? (2025) Sherin Nicole Is This Thing On? is a bittersweet, comedic journey through divorce, self-discovery, and the healing power of finding "your thing."

Rental Family (2025) Sherin Nicole Loneliness loosens its grip through thematic ‘touch therapy’ in Rental Family, a film where life is a multiverse of finding yourself in other people

Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Sherin Nicole Highest 2 Lowest embodies its name, with some dialogue lows and the highs of a cinematic, nearly mythical “impossible choice,” one that tests the scales of love & family against money & power.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Sherin Nicole Finally, the first family of Marvel is everything they’re meant to be in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it’s super cute, brave, bold, and hopeful.

Superman (2025) Sherin Nicole David Corenswet is a Superman who'd make Christopher Reeve proud, 'cause this is the superhero we’ve been waiting for. Proving when DC relies on its stories, characters, and thematic tone, it’s in a universe by itself.

F1 The Movie (2025) Sherin Nicole F1 is 100-mile per hour thrill—a classic sports movie in a new vehicle with lots of action & emotional flexing.
Posted Jun 25, 2025  Edit critic review
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Sherin Nicole Another ludicrous Wes Anderson storybook, a genuinely funny jaunt about finding fulfillment beyond wealth and past pain, where you keep going until you get it right.

Dogma (1999) Sherin Nicole Watching Dogma again, this time in 4K, made me realize how influential it is in satirizing our relationship to religion and our varied definitions of goodness. Definitely worth watching.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Sherin Nicole With an exhilarating first half and a second half that's unbelievable, Ethan Hunt is officially the superhero who had me singing “the greatest man alive” but with a smile.
Posted May 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Shadow Force (2025) Sherin Nicole Shadow Force is the right parts put together in the wrong ways. It’s like buying your dream car and finding out it won’t take you anywhere.
Posted May 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Thunderbolts* (2025) Sherin Nicole THUNDERBOLTS* is a support group for reformed anti-villains with the laughs, the action, and the feelings in the right places... Just keep your eye on that asterisk, it’s going to hit you in the head.*
Posted Apr 29, 2025  Edit critic review
The Outrun (2024) Sherin Nicole The Outrun is a watercolor kind of film, sometimes soft as mist, in other moments spilling over, and when your hopes rise highest it's torrential.
Posted Oct 05, 2024  Edit critic review
Lisa Frankenstein (2024) Sherin Nicole The dialogue is witty and the story is happily unhinged, but it's underdeveloped—this undead heart misses a few beats.
Posted Feb 07, 2024  Edit critic review
Argylle (2024) Sherin Nicole It's a spy comedy that lacks thrills, barely flirts with romance, and misdelivers the laughs.

The Book of Clarence (2023) Julian Lytle The Book of Clarence is definitely something I’ll watch again, and Samuel is making a nice catalog of work for himself in Hollywood.

B+
The Beekeeper (2024) Julian Lytle The Beekeeper is quality action cinema; this is the energy I want at the beginning of 2024.
Posted Jan 10, 2024  Edit critic review
B+
Mean Girls (2024) Julian Lytle While I feel this new movie is good, I also don’t think it’s for me. There’s an openness to it that the more recent generations have that might be in conflict with what older fans of the old film might want and expect of it.
Posted Jan 10, 2024  Edit critic review
C
Saltburn (2023) Julian Lytle Fennell clearly with Promising Young Woman, & now this is a Writer/Director that people will pay attention to, yet for me, their endings still leave a lot to be desired & keep them from being a filmmaker I anticipate their subsequent work for right now.

B+
The Color Purple (2023) Julian Lytle The Color Purple (2023) is a very well-made and engrossing musical film. I feel this will hit the mark perfectly for many, but for the small minority, this won’t reach as high as the older film or the book.
Posted Dec 29, 2023  Edit critic review
Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire (2023) Sherin Nicole A pointless pile of sci-fi leftovers. You could watch it if you’re curious, I just can’t recommend it.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) Julian Lytle So, for me, this movie, which is essentially mid, was also a very entertaining film because of the actors’ performances and the bright and colorful world they are acting in.
Posted Dec 21, 2023  Edit critic review
American Fiction (2023) Sherin Nicole Is it funny? For sure. Is it true? Yes, and it burns. American Fiction is so relatable I laughed with my heart in my throat.

B
Cypher (2023) Julian Lytle Cypher was a wonderful way for Tierra Whack to expand her ideas of her work into another medium while also introducing herself to those who might not know her music well.

B+
All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt (2023) Julian Lytle The scenes have amazing color palettes that capture the moods of the scenes amazingly. It’s a film that I feel you can understand with no sound for the most part. Seeing this film on the big screen was a great experience.

C
Candy Cane Lane (2023) Julian Lytle Candy Cane Lane wasn’t a waste of time, but there are better things you can watch for the holiday season.
Posted Dec 04, 2023  Edit critic review
Wonka (2023) Sherin Nicole Wonka is a delight. The filmmakers map the mercurial streets of a London found only in the imaginations of famous authors and their readers. You'll revel in the 'sensawunda' of this new adventure. This is an ‘Oliver’ twist on Willy Wonka.
Posted Dec 04, 2023  Edit critic review
The Boy and the Heron (2023) Sherin Nicole For Miyazaki what matters is how we reshape the world in response to our joys, our rage, our dreams, or our grief. He is so adept at presenting our struggles through the filter of fantasy that we might be tricked into disbelieving their reality.

B
Napoleon (2023) Julian Lytle Napoleon is an interesting historical epic I feel fitting of its subject, and it made to be more crowd-pleasing than self-serious. It’s a cinematic meal worth your time.

C
Wish (2023) Julian Lytle Wish’s overreliance on Disney’s actual past holds back what could’ve been another real Disney classic animated fairy tale from greatness.
Posted Nov 21, 2023  Edit critic review
B+
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) Julian Lytle The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is a great follow-up to the earlier films and works very well on its own. It might be the best crowd-pleaser of the Thanksgiving season.
Posted Nov 17, 2023  Edit critic review
Poor Things (2023) Sherin Nicole A daringly demented yet exuberantly raw pop-up fairytale that’s been cross-bred with first-wave science fiction... If there had been a few more snips with the storytelling shears, to shorten the experience, we’d have something near to perfection.
Posted Nov 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Saltburn (2023) Sherin Nicole Fennell creates a neo-gothic bonfire—a scion to Gatsby, Ripley, Six Degrees—that indicts the excesses & peculiarities of old-money wealth while exposing its underbelly. In the end, it isn’t about slaying the dragon as much as dissecting its anatomy.
Posted Nov 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Rustin (2023) Sherin Nicole There’s a brightness to Rustin that doesn’t veer away from the consequences at the intersections of Bayard Rustin’s life. It allows the story to breathe like jazz.

B
Quiz Lady (2023) Julian Lytle Quiz Lady is a fun comedy and something that should entertain at home over the weekend or whenever you watch it on Disney+.
Posted Nov 08, 2023  Edit critic review
The Marvels (2023) Sherin Nicole The Marvels is cute, weird, and wonky with PowerPuff vibes. I’m good with that.

C
The Marvels (2023) Julian Lytle The Marvels might be fun for some and a good family movie, but it’s far from the draw and experience people want from the MCU to return to former heights.

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) Julian Lytle Five Nights at Freddy’s was overall a bit too long but pretty much an okay movie for the season and did right by its source material.

B+
The Holdovers (2023) Julian Lytle The Holdovers is a terrific film with heart and humor and might end up as one of my favorite new holiday films that I don’t think was planned as one.

The Burial (2023) Julian Lytle The Burial is very enjoyable, and I wish it had been a theatrical release, this is one of the best Prime video releases I’ve seen this year.
Posted Oct 28, 2023  Edit critic review
The Persian Version (2023) Sherin Nicole Keshavarz has made a comical, raw, and personal story that is universal because it is so specific.

Foe (2023) Julian Lytle For me, this was an enjoyable, intimate film and something I’d watch again.

Dumb Money (2023) Julian Lytle I think Dumb Money is completely worth seeing, but I can’t say you need to go in person to the theater to enjoy it.

Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story (2023) Julian Lytle Gran Turismo made me remember just how fun it is to play the game and made me turn it on when I got home, dreaming of being a race car driver again.

A Haunting in Venice (2023) Julian Lytle It’s just some real solid meat and potatoes filmmaking that I’m starting to miss in a lot of stuff I see in the theater. I liked this film a lot, and I do hope they continue to make more of these, but who knows with the way show business is going.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) Julian Lytle This movie is as successful as the sitcom spinoff they tried in the early 2000s, which means it was unsuccessful. I can’t really suggest going to see this; even with a few fun performances, it just wasn’t enough to not feel like a complete waste of time.

Fair Play (2023) Julian Lytle While it didn’t work for me, ultimately, I do hope it does well so that people might be allowed to make good thrillers again.
Posted Oct 05, 2023  Edit critic review
Fair Play (2023) Sherin Nicole Fair Play is a cage match...Chloe Domont never picks sides but instead leaves you to pick your poison. Because the poison is the point.
Posted Sep 29, 2023  Edit critic review
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) Sherin Nicole In Henry Sugar, Anderson creates a storybook set in motion—where the sets fly and the characters transform with the same playfulness as our parents switching voices during bedtime stories.
