Heretic (2024) Vera Wylde Don't make the mistake of, like Hugh Grant's character, thinking there's more thought put into this than there is. But there is some, and I thought they pulled it off pretty well.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Vera Wylde I know suggesting something might be the best Disney animated sequel is kind of a dubious honor... we're grading on a curve here. But yeah, this is pretty solid.

Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Vera Wylde (Dan Trachtenberg) is really good at what he does. And this is quite good.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Vera Wylde Boy, Predator... that is a franchise on a roll lately.
Posted Dec 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Companion (2025) Vera Wylde It's a smart script in a very non-show-off-ish way.
Posted Dec 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Vera Wylde (I feel) this is a middling Benoit Blanc mystery, but that's still better than most mysteries.
Posted Dec 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Fortune (2025) Vera Wylde It feels spawned from the exact same energy and arrogance that brought us that "Imagine" video from the start of the lockdowns, early in the pandemic... this feels like it's birthed from the exact same messed up, out of touch, tone deaf instincts.

House of Games (1987) Vera Wylde Maybe part of the problem is that (Mamet's) roots are in theater... This is something that could actually make for a decent remake... It begs for a stronger stylistic hand in the presentation, and it just doesn't have that.

The Life of Chuck (2024) Vera Wylde I think this managed to balance its elements and hold onto its themes through an unconventional narrative to tell what is ultimately a very simple story on a grand scale. I really adored this movie.

The Naked Gun (2025) Vera Wylde It is often a heretical thing to say that you liked a remake better than the original... but here we are.
Posted Oct 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Thunderbolts* (2025) Vera Wylde There was one moment that just hit so wrong... anyways, rest of the movie's really good.

Superman (2025) Vera Wylde What you've heard is true: it's good.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Venom: The Last Dance (2024) Vera Wylde I enjoy these movies for what they are, which is dumb fun.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Vera Wylde I want more.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Babygirl (2024) Vera Wylde You know some day one of these movies is going to be made by somebody who actually understands kink and BDSM dynamics, and I look forward to that day.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Nosferatu (2024) Vera Wylde Being familiar with the story really let me appreciate and drink in what Eggers does with this.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Vera Wylde I went in with basically no expectations... and boy did this meet them.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Sinners (2025) Vera Wylde This did such a great job at getting me invested in these characters and this setting long before the vampires show up.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution (2024) Vera Wylde While it's not the deepest thing in the world, it's a good foundational start to go more into (queer comedians).
Posted Jan 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Inside Out 2 (2024) Vera Wylde It was well made, it was well thought out as an expansion, continuation, and growth of what the previous one was. I just personally will never watch it again, because I can't handle cringe.
Posted Jan 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Moana 2 (2024) Vera Wylde Both the original and this movie end with the song "We Know the Way." Do you though, Disney? Do you really?
Posted Jan 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Emilia Pérez (2024) Vera Wylde It’s a trashy B grade plot that thinks it’s deep... It’s a crass and shallow look at transness that thinks it’s breaking new ground when it’s wallowing in the tropes and cliches actual queer artists have been trying to move on from for decades.
Posted Jan 25, 2025  Edit critic review
The Platform (2019) Vera Wylde If you're a fan of single setting movies like Cube, or Exam, then you definitely should seek this out.
Posted Nov 05, 2024  Edit critic review
Abigail (2024) Vera Wylde It's good. Not amazing, but good.
Posted Nov 05, 2024  Edit critic review
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) Vera Wylde This entire revived Apes series has been really good, and this is a really worthy entry.
Posted Nov 05, 2024  Edit critic review
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Vera Wylde I was going to say that this feels like a first draft script, but it doesn't even feel like that. This feels like two or three first draft scripts stitched together.
Posted Nov 05, 2024  Edit critic review
The Wild Robot (2024) Vera Wylde This is definitely Dreamworks hitting their stride, this was made on one of their "on" days. They have their off days and on days, this was from an on day.
Posted Nov 05, 2024  Edit critic review
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) Vera Wylde I think this is probably the correct direction for the Monsterverse and American Godzilla movies to go. Which is that this is very stupid, and it knows it is, and it rolls with it.
Posted Sep 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Godzilla Minus One (2023) Vera Wylde This is easily, by a pretty wide margin, the best human movie that's ever been in a Godzilla movie.
Posted Sep 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Vera Wylde It's more or less what I was afraid it was going to be based on the trailers.
Posted Sep 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Vera Wylde It was fun (but) it's too long. I felt like I was watching the extended director's cut.
Posted Sep 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Alien: Romulus (2024) Vera Wylde Alien: Romulus is about as good as Alien movies are going to be at this point. And take that as the very backhanded compliment it sounds like.
Posted Sep 23, 2024  Edit critic review
The Marvels (2023) Vera Wylde If you want something a little bit on the more frivolous side for fun, give it a shot. Couldn't hurt. But it's hard to recommend to anybody who takes this stuff more seriously.
Posted May 14, 2024  Edit critic review
Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda (2024) Vera Wylde It is exactly the kind of celebration I hoped it would be of these people, of these voices, of this community.
Posted May 14, 2024  Edit critic review
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Vera Wylde I think you can find fun here. I think you can find good here. It's just not going to turn you around if you come in thinking it's a bad idea.
Posted Jan 12, 2024  Edit critic review
Older Gods (2023) Vera Wylde If you like Lovecraftian horror in general, if you have an appreciation for lower budget tension filled movies, yeah I'd say give this a go.
Posted Dec 19, 2023  Edit critic review
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Vera Wylde Scientifically designed in a lab for the broadest possible appeal and the least offense that could possibly be made.
Posted Dec 19, 2023  Edit critic review
Nimona (2023) Vera Wylde I would have given anything to have a story like this when I was young. But I'm glad it's here now.
Posted Jul 15, 2023  Edit critic review
My Father's Dragon (2022) Vera Wylde I think that My Father's Dragon is the closest to a more traditional kid's story in terms of tone and where it's going (that Cartoon Saloon as done)... but there is still more stuff in there.
Posted Jun 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) Vera Wylde It's darn good!
Posted Jun 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Vera Wylde The original "Into the Spider-verse" has a lot of moments that I love. But I think this one actually has more moments that I love.
Posted Jun 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Vera Wylde There's a whole bunch of nit-picky stuff that kept pulling me out of the movie, that I may well be the only one who cares about it, and the only one whose viewing experience was particularly hampered by these things.
Posted Jun 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) Vera Wylde "We're gonna make this fun." "Oh, but what's the added depth?" "No, no, no, shut up. Fun!" I feel like we don't get that all that much anymore.
Posted Jun 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Vera Wylde I thought this was fun, entertaining, visually interesting, the characters worked well, and the villain is spot on. Is it amazing? Is it top tier? No, I don't think it was ever going to be. But I don't regret my time with it.
Posted Feb 28, 2023  Edit critic review
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) Vera Wylde The dude just makes parody songs, and is pretty chill. What kind of movie are you going to make out of that? A pretty dang entertaining one as it turns out.
Posted Feb 13, 2023  Edit critic review
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Vera Wylde There's already something kind of special about a movie that's largely about grief being made as an act of grieving.
Posted Feb 12, 2023  Edit critic review
Barbarian (2022) Vera Wylde If you like intense, incredible stressful horror films, this is right up your ally.
Posted Feb 12, 2023  Edit critic review
Hellraiser (2022) Vera Wylde This does not exceed the best entries in the original franchise (those being the first two). But it does repackage them in a way that goes down really quite well.
Posted Oct 12, 2022  Edit critic review
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) Vera Wylde I can't promise everyone will like it, because it is so weird. But it's so unique I feel like everybody should give it a shot.

RRR (2022) Vera Wylde If there is a single word to describe this movie it is "extra."
