Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Susan Kamyab While the story is formulaic, I can appreciate the effort in character development. Anthony Mackie thrives in the title he's deservingly earned. Mackie provides depth and authenticity that humanizes his character.

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Susan Kamyab At a runtime of nearly two and half hours, it's likely audiences will get anxious. Visually Phillips succeeds in bold, striking theatrics. But sadly, any good in this movie is going to be overshadowed by the bad.

Wonka (2023) Susan Kamyab There is not a lot of depth to Wonka's backstory, but since it’s geared more to a younger audience the film chooses to tell a lighter and almost cartoon-like tale.

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) Susan Kamyab A rushed second half, struggling to explain certain character's storylines fails to make the film thrilling or fun. I would say watch "Child's Play" or "MEGAN" if you want to see a silly, but clever horror about products that shouldn't be coming to life.

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Susan Kamyab The runtime is really the only negative in this movie. "Killers of the Flower Moon" captivates you with its sensational colors, shocking brutality, and some career best performances - especially by Gladstone and De Niro.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Susan Kamyab "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" won't be the most memorable of the five films, and the runtime could be about 40 minutes shorter, however, it's got exciting action sequences, classic Indiana Jones humor, and makes for a fun theatrical experience.

Fast X (2023) Susan Kamyab I think we all expect the movies to be silly and they have always been self-aware of how ridiculous they can be with their impossible stunts. But sadly, "Fast X" just proves that the franchise is running out of gas.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Susan Kamyab The entire cast lands the comedy and conveys the heart of the story brilliantly. And even with a runtime of 2 and half hours, the film moves quickly thanks to an engaging plot, thrilling action sequences, and as always, a stellar soundtrack.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) Susan Kamyab DC has always struggled to make solid, coherent superhero movies. One of the few times they got it right was with the first "Shazam". Sadly, lightening fails to strike twice in "Shazam! Fury of the Gods".
