3/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Mathew DeKinder "The Bone Temple" completes its assignment of getting us excited for the next film while being daring and surprising enough to leave us with no idea what to expect the next time we see these characters.

5/5
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Mathew DeKinder Craig has now settled into the role of Blanc like a comfortable tweed jacket in a story that wrestles with matters of faith and brilliantly holds space for believers and nonbelievers alike.

Jay Kelly (2025) Mathew DeKinder The movie "Jay Kelly" is about as good as you can hope for when Hollywood looks in the mirror.

2.5/5
The Running Man (2025) Mathew DeKinder "The Running Man" almost makes it across the finish line based on Powell’s charisma alone.

3/5
Nuremberg (2025) Mathew DeKinder In spite of the film’s shortcomings, any movie that meets baseline competency and gives a platform to this invaluable historical documentation is worthy of your time and attention.

2.5/5
Bugonia (2025) Mathew DeKinder I tip my cap to “Bugonia” out of respect, but not for anything else.

2.5/5
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Mathew DeKinder “Deliver Me From Nowhere” is only interested in a one-note Springsteen, and he’s kind of a drag.

4/5
Good Fortune (2025) Mathew DeKinder A comedy that wears its heart on its sleeve while it pokes and prods at our modern condition is a difficult needle to thread, but Ansari makes it look so easy, it makes you wonder why more comedies can’t be this good.

3/5
TRON: Ares (2025) Mathew DeKinder “Tron: Ares” cements the Tron trilogy as an odd little cinematic anomaly that has just enough going for it to make it a pleasurable experience for those who stumble across it, but flawed enough that those who miss it won’t have anything to be upset about.

4/5
The Smashing Machine (2025) Mathew DeKinder Even though it winds up being a little on the lightweight side, “The Smashing Machine” is still the best-possible version of what this movie could have been. That counts as a clear victory by knockout every time.

4/5
Superman (2025) Mathew DeKinder In a lot of ways, watching “Superman” is like picking up a random issue of a comic book and diving right in.
Posted Jul 10, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Mathew DeKinder “Jurassic World: Rebirth” marks a glorious return to mediocrity. It’s serviceable plot and workman-like performances no longer distract from the whole point of why we’re here – to see dinosaurs do cool stuff!

4/5
28 Years Later (2025) Mathew DeKinder Boyle’s signature style is here with quick edits and exciting needle drops. But there is also a lot of innovation here too, as most of the movie was filmed on an iPhone which makes the film feel intimate and grounded.

2.5/5
Death of a Unicorn (2025) Mathew DeKinder I admire “Death of a Unicorn” for taking some chances and daring to be different in a movie landscape full of sequels and spinoffs.

3/5
Gladiator II (2024) Mathew DeKinder At the very least, you will walk out of “Gladiator II” entertained – but you won’t be much else.
Posted Nov 22, 2024  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Wicked (2024) Mathew DeKinder While it’s easy to be dazzled by the glitz and grandeur of Oz, “Wicked” works best when it is at its simplest and the focus is on the chemistry between Erivo and Grande and their vocal talents.

4/5
Heretic (2024) Mathew DeKinder What is impressive about “Heretic” is how tidily and entertainingly it clips along even though the vast majority of the film is just three people in a room talking.
Posted Nov 08, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Saturday Night (2024) Mathew DeKinder But more than anything, it’s about the uncertain buildup to the cathartic moment a generation found it’s voice with the bellowing of, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
Posted Oct 04, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Mathew DeKinder All of those ingredients make “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” good, but because we’ve seen a lot of it before, it can’t match the daring originality that made “Beetlejuice” great.

4/5
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Mathew DeKinder This is a movie of little consequence, packed with action, laughs and cameos.
Posted Jul 25, 2024  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Twisters (2024) Mathew DeKinder “Twisters” may not wind up being as culturally relevant as “Twister,” but it does wind up being a slightly better movie.
Posted Jul 19, 2024  Edit critic review
5/5
Inside Out 2 (2024) Mathew DeKinder There’s a comfort in knowing that we’re all a little crazy. That’s what makes this movie so special.
Posted Jun 13, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
The Fall Guy (2024) Mathew DeKinder “The Fall Guy” is a silly movie that exists solely to entertain the audience and call attention to the eye-popping stunts that happen throughout the film.
Posted May 04, 2024  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Mathew DeKinder “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” reassembles most of the original cast along with the cast of “Afterlife” in a craven “just play the hits” Ghostbusters retread that lacks any of the joy or originality that made the original film so beloved.

3.5/5
Road House (2024) Mathew DeKinder At any rate, it might be worth making this version of “Road House” your regular, Saturday-night thing.
Posted Mar 22, 2024  Edit critic review
5/5
Dune: Part Two (2024) Mathew DeKinder “Dune: Part Two” allows writer/director Denis Villeneuve to examine some weighty things like religion, politics and destiny in the middle of a sweeping, epic, visually stunning film. Plus, sandworms!

2/5
Drive-Away Dolls (2024) Mathew DeKinder “Drive-Away Dolls” has a lot of spirit, it just gets lost along the way.
Posted Feb 24, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
Bob Marley: One Love (2024) Mathew DeKinder The music is the ultimate star of the show and while the storytelling in “Bob Marley: One Love” may be bland and conventional, the beat remains mighty powerful.

2/5
Argylle (2024) Mathew DeKinder “Argylle” fails to deliver despite all of its promise and while it doesn’t leave a completely terrible taste in your mouth, you definitely won’t be coming back for seconds.
Posted Feb 01, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
The Marvels (2023) Mathew DeKinder The takeaway from “The Marvels” for Marvel Studios is that it’s ok to make a stand-alone movie that’s nothing more than an entertaining romp through space with enjoyable characters. Sometimes simpler is better.

4/5
Priscilla (2023) Mathew DeKinder “Priscilla” is successful at portraying a young woman swept up by the allure of celebrity and glamor and struggling not to lose herself in the process.

5/5
The Holdovers (2023) Mathew DeKinder In “The Holdovers,” Payne finds the perfect balance between comedy and melodrama that he has been searching for his entire career.

3.5/5
The Killer (2023) Mathew DeKinder Even still, Fincher fans will find plenty to love about “The Killer,” as it plays like his greatest hits while taking us on a zippy and entertaining ride.

5/5
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Mathew DeKinder If “Killers of the Flower Moon” did nothing more than make people aware of this sad, true chapter of American history, then it would be a success. But it goes beyond, exposing the very best and worst of the human spirit on the grandest scale possible.

4/5
Dumb Money (2023) Mathew DeKinder But what it does do well is champion the little guy and, from the music to the memes to the masking, “Dumb Money” amplifies all those little details that made being alive in 2020 and 2021 so cuckoo, bonkers crazy.

2/5
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) Mathew DeKinder This is not a very good movie. But just as it is hard to be a grouch at a wedding, even with this movie’s shortcomings, I did not have a bad time watching it – thanks mostly to the charming cast and the beautiful Greek countryside the film is set against.

2.5/5
Strays (2023) Mathew DeKinder But outside of some solid observational dog humor, your enjoyment of “Strays” entirely depends on how funny you find pooches saying and doing outrageous things.

3/5
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) Mathew DeKinder “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” doesn’t arrive in port fully intact, but it does work as a scary little summertime distraction.

5/5
Oppenheimer (2023) Mathew DeKinder “Oppenheimer” is a master work from a filmmaker at the top of his craft; respective of the past as it is contemplative of the future. It is a sight to behold.

4.5/5
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) Mathew DeKinder This is summer-blockbuster moviemaking at its best. It’s a thrill ride that, at its best, will make you marvel at the effects and stunt work that’s been committed to film.
Posted Jul 12, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Mathew DeKinder But some clunky CGI and glaring plot holes aside, the heart of the series which is delivering a rip-roaring good time still beats strong and makes saddling up for one last archeological adventure totally worth your time.

4/5
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Mathew DeKinder What takes “Across the Spider-Verse” to the next level is the way it takes advantage of the medium of animation to deliver a visually-spectacular feast for the eyes.

3/5
The Little Mermaid (2023) Mathew DeKinder Still, the positives outweigh the negatives and there are some nice touches that make this reimagining of the classic film worth your time.

4/5
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Mathew DeKinder “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” hits all the quirky, comedic and heartfelt notes that made the first two movies such a blast.

3/5
Renfield (2023) Mathew DeKinder Enough of the jokes land to make 'Renfield' an enjoyable time at the movies even though, from a plot standpoint, there’s just not much meat on the bones.

3/5
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Mathew DeKinder The importance of this movie to play the hits and get off of the stage (runtime is a cool 92 minutes) was huge for Nintendo to safely and securely establish its own cinematic universe. In that regard, it’s mission accomplished.

3/5
Creed III (2023) Mathew DeKinder “Creed III” stands on its own and Jordan proves that Adonis is still a character worth rooting for.
Posted Mar 02, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Cocaine Bear (2023) Mathew DeKinder Look, there’s no mystery here. If you want to see a cocaine-fueled bear rip people to shreds in a movie that winkingly revels in its ridiculous premise, then “Cocaine Bear” delivers on its title. If not, then move along.

3.5/5
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Mathew DeKinder The future of the MCU is as uncertain as ever, but “Quantumania” has the train back up on the tracks and (hopefully) headed in the right direction.
Posted Feb 16, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Fairways to Happiness (2022) Mathew DeKinder But taken on the whole, “Fairways to Happiness” is a net positive that portrays the human experience as inherently beautiful and profound if viewed through the proper lens.
