B
The Rip (2026) Sean Chandler The Rip is a dependable cop thriller, anchored by a strong cast and just enough twists to keep things interesting.

B-
Primate (2025) Sean Chandler Primate is an effective-enough "animal-goes-wild" horror thriller. There are a few great sequences and kills, but the overall story dynamics are a bit too linear.

B
Thieves Highway (2025) Sean Chandler A good old-fashioned Western (cattle thieves, deputized citizens, slugfests) in a modern context. Eckhart anchors the film with a world-weary, classic sense of morality.

C
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Sean Chandler A big step in the wrong direction from the first film. It feels like it exists simply for fans to go Easter egg hunting, offering little for anyone looking for more than that.

B-
The Perfect Gamble (2025) Sean Chandler A small-scale, personal casino drama that reminded me of a lot of indie films from 25 years ago. It was refreshing to see David Arquette in a more serious role.

B
Wildcat (2025) Sean Chandler A better than average direct to video action thriller due to the world building and character work.

B-
Wicked: For Good (2025) Sean Chandler The second trip to Oz is a lot messier than the first, but ultimately the cast and emotional moments lift the material just enough to save the film. The individual scenes can be spellbinding, but the movie has lost much of its magic.

B+
The Running Man (2025) Sean Chandler While it may lack Edgar Wright's usual directorial flourishes, it's still a fun and thoughtful popcorn film.
Posted Nov 14, 2025  Edit critic review
C+
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Sean Chandler A couple of exciting sequences can't save this movie from feeling too artificial and contrived. The twists and tricks seem designed to fool the audience rather than make sense within the world of the film.

B-
Trap House (2025) Sean Chandler It may not be calibrated to perfection, but by putting the kids at the center of the action, it does provide a nice spin on a familiar genre.
Posted Nov 14, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Good Fortune (2025) Sean Chandler A charming, feel good comedy.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
C+
The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Sean Chandler A passable streaming thriller that checks all the genre boxes without ever doing anything that truly leaves a mark.

A-
Baahubali: The Epic (2025) Sean Chandler A true sweeping epic filled with betrayal, romance, massive battles, and emotion. While it’s fairly obvious where the story was condensed for this version, it’s still a compelling film from start to finish.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Predator: Badlands (2025) Sean Chandler If you can accept a Predator movie where the Predator makes friends, Badlands is a highly entertaining crowd-pleaser that takes the franchise in a fresh new direction and expands the lore.

B+
Christy (2025) Sean Chandler Christy begins as a straightforward biopic anchored by a transformative performance from Sweeney, but in its second half, it truly takes off as her personal life grows even more explosive than her headline-making boxing career.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Sean Chandler Verbinski delivers a dark, timely, and wildly funny satirical time-travel romp. The premise might sound familiar, but the execution feels entirely fresh and new.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Sean Chandler I stressful, entertaining, and insightful look at modern day motherhood with a inventive perspective.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Sean Chandler Sisu: Road to Revenge Is bigger, bloodier and more personal than the original with an even better villain. A sequel that surpasses the original.
Posted Oct 01, 2025  Edit critic review
C
The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) Sean Chandler A 90 minute chase movie which fails to justify it's own existence and which seems to fail to understand what makes the Strangers creepy.
Posted Oct 01, 2025  Edit critic review
Bone Lake (2024) Sean Chandler A fun blend of survival, psychological, and erotic thrillers.
Posted Oct 01, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Shelby Oaks (2023) Sean Chandler A strong directorial debut from YouTube film critic–turned–filmmaker Chris Stuckmann. The movie cleverly and seamlessly blends true crime, found footage, and supernatural horror.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Under Fire (2025) Sean Chandler Under Fire is an enjoyable enough isolated action film, carried by the strong chemistry between its two leads. It never overstays its welcome and delivers just enough action, humor, and tension to please genre fans.
Posted Aug 31, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Red Sonja (2025) Sean Chandler If you can look past the limitations of the budget, there's plenty of genre fun to be had.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
D
War of the Worlds (2025) Sean Chandler The idea of a screenlife adaptation of War of the Worlds is actually pretty interesting, but they get nearly everything wrong—from the weak cast and messy plot to the flimsy alien reveals and shameless product placement. It’s simply awful.
Posted Aug 03, 2025  Edit critic review
C-
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Sean Chandler Happy Gilmore 2 has a handful of great laughs, but too much of its runtime is dedicated to cameos, callbacks, and a surprisingly large amount of alcoholism.
Posted Aug 03, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Guns Up (2025) Sean Chandler An enjoyable enough genre film for fans of the cast and action films.
Posted Aug 03, 2025  Edit critic review
A
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Sean Chandler The Fantastic Four is a breath of fresh air for the MCU. It delivers all the humor and action you expect, but does so with its own cinematic language. It features some of the best world-building in the long-running franchise.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Sean Chandler While Rebirth plays it safe and doesn’t have much new to add to the franchise, it still scratched my itch for dinosaur carnage.
Posted Jul 20, 2025  Edit critic review
C+
M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Sean Chandler While it can be superficially entertaining at times, it veers so far away from its horror origins that it almost feels like self-parody.
Posted Jul 20, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) Sean Chandler A good enough legacy sequel. While I don’t think it fully stuck the landing, the ride to get there delivered just enough thrills to give me what I wanted.
Posted Jul 20, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
Superman (2025) Sean Chandler Superman drops us right into the action of a populated comic book universe. It’s a nonstop, hopeful, action-packed roller coaster, though it minimizes its impact by treating the extraordinary as commonplace, I still had a great time.
Posted Jul 08, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
28 Years Later (2025) Sean Chandler There’s plenty of intense zombie action, some unexpectedly emotional moments, and intriguing lore expansion. But the tone and style are all over the place. Some bold choices work—others left me scratching my head.
Posted Jun 24, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) Sean Chandler Possibly the most well rounded film in the franchise. It finds a clever way to expand the lore, delivers memorable kills, makes you laugh, and actually gets you invested in the characters.

C+
Bring Her Back (2025) Sean Chandler Bring Her Back starts off strong, drawing me into the characters and delivering some truly horrifying imagery. Unfortunately, the last 20 minutes completely unraveled everything that had been working for me up to that point.

A-
Ballerina (2025) Sean Chandler A John Wick spin-off done right. The first half is good, but things really kick into high gear when her revenge mission begins. The action is memorable, and it never lets up. By the end you're amped up for more in this world.
Posted Jun 05, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Wick Is Pain (2025) Sean Chandler An insightful documentary not just about the making of the John Wick franchise, but also about movie making in general. It makes the more boring details of filmmaking - financing - fascinating by injecting it into the struggle to make John Wick.
Posted Jun 05, 2025  Edit critic review
C
Karate Kid: Legends (2025) Sean Chandler Karate Kid: Legends is superficially entertaining, but it's Karate Kid for the Tik Tok generation. It feels more interested in flying through plot points than letting the moments breathe. Chan and Macchio feel tacked onto the end of the film.
Posted Jun 05, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Broke (2025) Sean Chandler Broke feels like a blend of To Build a Fire and a sad country song. Wyatt Russell shines as a rodeo rider stranded in a blizzard, reflecting on lost love, pain, and purpose. A quiet, emotional western drama worth checking out for genre fans.

B
Not Just a Goof (2025) Sean Chandler A heartfelt and insightful look at A Goofy Movie and the underdogs that made it.
Posted May 15, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Havoc (2025) Sean Chandler While the plot may be boilerplate, when the action kicks in, it's some of the most exhilarating action I've seen in a while.
Posted May 15, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Absolute Dominion (2025) Sean Chandler While you can constantly feel the limitations of Absolute Dominion's budget, it's an interesting enough blend of tournament fighter, dystopian future, and religion. It doesn't all work, but enough works to recommend to genre fans.
Posted May 15, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
Thunderbolts* (2025) Sean Chandler The MCU's Earth-bound version of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Once again, Marvel makes us fall in love with a group of losers. In addition to the usual Marvel fun and action, Thunderbolts* actually explores themes of depression, loneliness, and purpose.

C
Disney's Snow White (2025) Sean Chandler Snow White has a few nice touches, but the film feels misguided, miscalibrated, and obviously reworked in post. Torn between staying faithful to the original or reimagining it, it leaves us with the worst of both worlds.

A
Warfare (2025) Sean Chandler One of the most immersive, intense, and authentic war films I've ever seen.
Posted Apr 19, 2025  Edit critic review
A
Sinners (2025) Sean Chandler Sinners is a bold, soulful and original vampire crime drama set in the Prohibition-era South. Ryan Coogler blends horror, blues, and racial themes into a genre-bending film led by a career-best Michael B. Jordan. A bloody, bluesy, unforgettable film.

C+
Wolf Man (2025) Sean Chandler A disappointing and surprisingly straight forward remake from the director of Upgrade and The Invisible Man (2020). While it has it's moments, it lacks the sharp, well crafted script of the director's previous two films.
Posted Mar 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
The Accountant 2 (2025) Sean Chandler An effective sequel which may dial back the actual accounting, but it cranks up the fun by partnering Affleck and Bernthal.

A-
Novocaine (2025) Sean Chandler A charming action rom-com which delivers laughs, plenty of squirm inducing action, and a surprisingly large amount of heart.
Posted Mar 13, 2025  Edit critic review
C+
Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Sean Chandler Another frustratingly mediocre MCU film. It has its high points, but all throughout the runtime you're constantly reminded of better films in the franchise. And your brain keeps coming up with a better version of this film than the one they delivered.

B+
Queen of the Ring (2024) Sean Chandler An engaging sports biopic which hits all the right notes. The genre may be familiar, but it tackles a fascinating window of time not previously explored in film.
