28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Dan Scully What we find here is a tale of science vs. faith, of humility vs. ego, of memento mori vs. cult of personality.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Dan Scully Good news for people who want to hear ol’ Gerry Butts yelling a word that’s wholly incompatible with his mouth (it’s "marauders"), but bad news for anyone looking for anything beyond surface level thrills.

Dead Man's Wire (2025) Dan Scully Compelling, but it doesn’t necessarily merit a big screen adaptation.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Dan Scully All the familiar beats of a music biopic are hit: addiction, tragedy, finding strength and redemption through song — yet the way the film hits these beats breaks the formula in novel ways, and does so without feeling contrived or manipulative.

Marty Supreme (2025) Dan Scully I’m not lying when I say the film’s final moment brought forth unexpected tears, and not just because of the sudden deceleration from a movie that cruised along at 500 mph for 2.5 hours.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Dan Scully Very little new ground is covered with any of the characters or their relationships. It’s just a series of excuses to throw yet another battle sequence on screen and let it rock our world for a few minutes (which it never fails to do).

Zodiac Killer Project (2025) Dan Scully A much needed deflation for what has become an increasingly sensational (and stale) genre.

The Running Man (2025) Dan Scully It’s a credit to Wright that the massive ensemble and sprawling plot never feel unwieldy. I just wish that he risked some behind-the-camera unwieldiness — this is an uncharacteristically safe movie.

Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) Dan Scully The imagery is all familiar, but here its synthesized into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Posted Nov 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Barrio Triste (2025) Dan Scully A portrait of a chaotic life; a life where nothing is ordinary, and thus the extraordinary is as accepted and expected as anything else.
Posted Nov 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Primate (2025) Dan Scully A non-stop cavalcade of tension, brutality, and absolutely killer practical effects.

Frankenstein (2025) Dan Scully Del Toro manages to put his own spin on the material. Namely, he tones down the “playing God” aspect of the text and replaces it with a “playing Dad” thematic element, mostly to great success.

Nouvelle Vague (2025) Dan Scully It’s like traveling through time to be a fly on the wall of film history.
Posted Oct 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Blue Moon (2025) Dan Scully Theater nerds will adore every second of this film, which is chock full of Easter eggs and industry references, but not so much that a casual viewer can’t appreciate its charms.

The Mastermind (2025) Dan Scully A story about a guy who wanted exactly what he got, and quickly discovered that he never should have wanted it in the first place.

LifeHack (2025) Dan Scully Who says you need slick outfits and an EMP to steal a ton of money with your buddies?
Posted Oct 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Dead Giveaway (2025) Gary M. Kramer Writer/director Ian Kimble’s debut feature Dead Giveaway—expanded from his short—is more playful than scary, which works in its favor.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Hysteria (2025) Dan Scully This is a film that rewards a patient viewer. It’s the “frog in boiling water” metaphor in cinema form.
Posted Oct 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Dan Scully One hopes that Johnson continues to make these movies in perpetuity, but that with the next entry he attempts to break the mold.
Posted Oct 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Bugonia (2025) Dan Scully The interstitials which show imagery of an increasingly flattened Earth remove any thematic subtlety — and let’s face it, subtlety is not in the Lanthimos playbook.
Posted Oct 15, 2025  Edit critic review
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Dan Scully It’s parenthood as psychological horror, and it’s one of the most difficult movies I’ve seen in quite some time. I highly recommend it, and no, I will not watch it with you. I’ve had my fill of stressors for the week.
Posted Oct 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (2024) Dan Scully By the time the wheels are off and blood is spraying and limbs are getting chopped and everyone is chanting, well, who could resist?
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Head Like a Hole (2024) Dan Scully A showcase of how clever staging and an imaginative concept can transcend budgetary barriers.
Posted Oct 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Mooch (2025) Dan Scully The laughs come regularly and quickly, and the mystery compels. At no point does the story’s convolutions feel contrived.
Posted Oct 10, 2025  Edit critic review
TRON: Ares (2025) Dan Scully An intermittently exciting chase flick that has nothing interesting to say about artificial intelligence, capitalism, or anything, really.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Anything That Moves (2025) Dan Scully There’s an open-mindedness that is lovely to behold: just about every permutation of age/gender/body type is represented.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Oracle (1986) Dan Scully A true “lost” gem that features everything genre enthusiasts love all under one roof.
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
The Smashing Machine (2025) Dan Scully An exercise in crafting a biopic that is neither hagiographic nor condemnatory — a mode that suits Safdie’s overall style/tone of storytelling.
Posted Oct 02, 2025  Edit critic review
V/H/S Halloween (2025) Dan Scully One of the most consistent hit ratios so far — every segment is a banger.
Posted Sep 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Boy (2025) Dan Scully Instead of a perilous, shrieky vibe, the unique POV gives the film more of a curious and inquisitive tone.
Posted Sep 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Sincerely Saul (2024) Dan Scully As a portrait of an increasingly common type of young man, Tripp’s film is as alarming as it is enlightening. As a comedy, well, I don’t know who to recommend it to, but if you’re the type to get this sort of thing you’ll surely giggle as much as I did.

Bone Lake (2024) Dan Scully By the time the film reaches its manic third act I was squirming and cheering in equal measure. This one belongs on the big screen, hopefully with an engaged crowd.
Posted Sep 30, 2025  Edit critic review
One Battle After Another (2025) Dan Scully One of the great cinematic experiences of all time.
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Eli Roth Presents: Jimmy and Stiggs (2024) Dan Scully If you’re not the type to be wowed by DIY craft, some of its charms may be lost in translation. But I also get the sense that if you’re the type to press play on this one, or to attend a screening, then you’ll likely find something to enjoy here.
Posted Sep 20, 2025  Edit critic review
HIM (2025) Dan Scully An exercise in waiting for what we all know is coming if we’ve ever seen a movie before.
Posted Sep 20, 2025  Edit critic review
The Long Walk (2025) Dan Scully Yet as misanthropic as all of this sounds, the script finds a level of hope that (if memory serves) is absent from the novella.
Posted Sep 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Caught Stealing (2025) Dan Scully It’s thrills for thrills’ sake, and at the end of a filmography positively dripping with thematic depth and cruel pathos, it’s fun to see Aronofsky operating on a pure entertainment level.
Posted Aug 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Honey Don't! (2025) Dan Scully It’s one of those “they’re having fun, so we’re having fun” movies that Ethan Coen has more than earned his right to make.

Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Dan Scully A solid middle entry in the breadth of Lee’s filmography.
Posted Aug 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) Dan Scully A satisfying and marvelously functional film that never stops being entertaining for even a second (doubly so with a good crowd), chock full of some of the best performances I’ve seen all year, and bolstered by electrifying direction and sound design.
Posted Aug 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Tinsman Road (2025) Dan Scully This isn’t a film that leans into jump scares or shrieky moments, but there’s a veil of dread that hangs over the narrative which, when mixed with the real-world accessibility of the story and setting, is frequently quite chilling.
Posted Jul 27, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Dan Scully What makes the film feel so unique is that it’s unabashedly a comic book movie. There are no attempts to frame anything as if it were happening in the real world, and there is no time wasted trying to make any of the science realistic or believable.

Eddington (2025) Dan Scully It ruined my night and maybe my week. Loved every minute of it. No notes.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Dan Scully Perhaps the best compliment I can give the film is this: It made me want to be a better man, because that’s what Superman would do.
Posted Jul 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Dan Scully It is thematically appropriate that Spielberg made a masterpiece, inadvertently creating a monster that grew out of his control and won’t stop until it destroys itself and everything around it.
Posted Jul 01, 2025  Edit critic review
F1 The Movie (2025) Dan Scully An exciting, dumb film that feels like a throwback to old-school crowd-pleasing blockbusters in both good and bad ways.
Posted Jun 24, 2025  Edit critic review
28 Years Later (2025) Dan Scully In a world replete with nostalgia-fueled cash-in projects, it feels like this film is committing some sort of beautiful crime, tricking the powers that be into eating their veggies when they clearly ordered ice cream.
Posted Jun 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Drop (2025) Dan Scully It’s an expertly paced affair that showcases Landon’s unique directorial eye, as well as a roster of superb performances.
Posted Jun 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Bark (2023) Dan Scully Takes your standard single location thriller and elevates it through strong filmmaking and exceptional performances, while also providing plenty of food for thought after the fact.
Posted Jun 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Materialists (2025) Dan Scully A romantic comedy made for adults, and which isn’t pointed at any one gender. It’s also just a downright well made movie.
