Longlegs★☆☆☆☆
Longlegs promises horror but delivers a sluggish nightmare of missed potential, with Nicolas Cage’s wild antics and Maika Monroe’s blank stares failing to inject life into this plodding supernatural thriller that’s more cringe than creepy.
Quo Vadis ★★★★☆
Quo Vadis is a gloriously over-the-top Hollywood epic where Nero burns Rome for fun, Christianity battles decadence, and Peter Ustinov steals the show as the maddest, most flamboyant emperor ever put to screen.
The Haunted Mansion ★★☆☆☆
Disney’s Haunted Mansion (2023) has all the charm of a well-decorated Halloween bash—but with jokes that land flat and a tone that’s as wobbly as a ghost in need of a guiding light, it’s more forgettable than frightening.
MaXXXine ★★★☆☆
Mia Goth shines as a gritty dreamer in MaXXXine, a wild, neon-drenched conclusion to Ti West’s horror trilogy that slices through Hollywood’s 1980s underbelly with a grim sense of humor—even if it sometimes gets lost in its own glitzy chaos.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ★★★☆☆
Indiana Jones takes one last swing at adventure, but this time, he’s battling Nazis, time travel, and the weight of nostalgia.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ★★☆☆☆
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 reaches for heartfelt closure but lands in heavy-handed territory, transforming a lively space saga into a somber, overextended farewell.
Midsommar ★★★★☆
Midsommar is a hauntingly beautiful dive into grief, rebirth, and ritualistic horror—a breakup movie taken to grotesque, daylight-drenched extremes.
The French Dispatch ★★★★☆
The French Dispatch is a vibrant love letter to print journalism, brimming with meticulous detail, quirky characters, and Wes Anderson’s signature charm.
Under the Silver Lake ★★★☆☆
Under the Silver Lake is a surreal, conspiracy-laden trip through LA that’s as baffling as it is mesmerizing.
No Country For Old Men ★★★★★
No Country for Old Men is a haunting Coen Brothers masterpiece where fate hunts without mercy, embodied by Javier Bardem’s chilling Anton Chigurh. In a brutal Texas landscape, this tense, scoreless thriller grips viewers with its unyielding pace, stark visuals, and unsettling reminder that control is often just an illusion.
A Man Called Otto ★★★☆☆
“A Man Called Otto” mixes Tom Hanks’ signature warmth with dark comedy and tender moments, creating a film that touches on grief and redemption through community, even if it feels like a Hallmark card for grumpy uncles.
Leave The World Behind ★☆☆☆☆
Leave the World Behind squanders its talented cast and promising premise with heavy-handed social commentary, chaotic visuals, and a disjointed plot that leaves viewers more frustrated than thrilled.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves ★★★☆☆
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a chaotic, heart-filled fantasy heist that nails the humor and camaraderie of a true D&D campaign, offering plenty of laughs and action, even if the world-building feels a bit thin.
Nobody ★★☆☆☆
Nobody trades intrigue for relentless violence, offering a dad-bod twist on John Wick that’s entertaining but lacks depth, leaving viewers with a hollow, midlife-crisis-fueled action flick that never quite hits the mark.
Raging Bull ★★★★☆
Raging Bull dives into the self-destructive psyche of Jake LaMotta with unflinching intensity, delivering a bruising, operatic journey through violence, jealousy, and raw human frailty, anchored by De Niro’s unforgettable performance.
Ricky Stanicky ★★☆☆☆
Ricky Stanicky aims for outrageous buddy comedy but falls short, blending recycled gags with juvenile humor that feels more forced than funny, despite John Cena’s committed performance.
Roadhouse ★★★☆☆
Road House (2024) flexes big muscles and brawls with style, delivering a fun, if shallow, remake that’s more about grit and chaos than emotional depth—perfect for a late-night action fix.
Ex Machina ★★★★☆
If tech billionaires already give you a certain creep factor, “Ex Machina” cranks that discomfort up to eleven, serving up a cerebral thriller that asks: "What happens when your Alexa has feelings, but your CEO doesn’t?
Dream Scenario ★★★☆☆
Dream Scenario is a surreal, darkly comedic dive into viral fame’s nightmarish side, with Nicolas Cage delivering a hilariously tragic performance that captures the terrifying randomness of internet-fueled celebrity.
