The Running Man (2025) Damond Fudge Hewing much closer to the source novel than the 1987 version, Edgar Wright’s "The Running Man" is a frenetic, action-packed ride full of exciting set pieces as well as a deeper message about out of control capitalism.

Posted Aug 29, 2025  Edit critic review
The Roses (2025) Damond Fudge While not nearly as dark as its 1989 predecessor, The Roses is still a mostly entertaining and interesting reinterpretation of the source materials. It’s basically its own entity, a departure from what came before it.

Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Damond Fudge Highest 2 Lowest is Lee at his highest. The director knows his place, knows he can’t outdo Kurosawa...so he’s created a vision of the story that’s all his own.
Posted Aug 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Nobody 2 (2025) Damond Fudge Nobody 2 is a worthwhile sequel that holds up really well to its predecessor. It’s one of those sequels that knows that since all the setup for this world is now out of the way, it can simply have fun with the premise.
Posted Aug 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) Damond Fudge Weapons is a solid second film in Cregger’s solo directorial career...Yet, I don’t think I was nearly as blown away by this as I was with Barbarian.

Posted May 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Thunderbolts* (2025) Damond Fudge [It] feels like a return to the earlier, Phase One MCU films, where the concentration is on the human side of these heroes, especially their faults and doubts. Underneath all the fight scenes and heroics is a surprisingly deep examination of depression.
Posted May 02, 2025  Edit critic review
The Accountant 2 (2025) Damond Fudge With a change in tone to more of an odd couple, buddy cop vibe, The Accountant 2 is nearly as good as the original.
Posted Apr 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Until Dawn (2025) Damond Fudge It’s fun enough for me to recommend, but still…there’s something I can’t put my finger on about it that doesn’t sit well with me.

Posted Apr 11, 2025  Edit critic review

Love Hurts (2025) Damond Fudge [W]as I entertained? Yes, most assuredly. Love Hurts shows that Quan could very easily pick up the baton from Jackie Chan and make purely entertaining kung fu comedies that don’t necessarily have to be groundbreaking, just fun.
Posted Feb 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Companion (2025) Damond Fudge A superbly crafted, twisty little gem, filled with dark humor and just the right amount of gore. Not overdone, not brutally graphic, just enough to highlight the violence.
