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.
Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish
Hit Me Hard and Soft is Billie Eilish at her most haunting and raw, balancing eerie intimacy with emotional gut punches in an album that demands you feel every whisper and beat—it’s dark, tender, and utterly unforgettable.
No Hard Feelings by The Chainsmokers
The title’s honest—there are certainly “No Hard Feelings” here, because there are hardly any feelings at all.
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.
Reasonable Woman by Sia
Reasonable Woman is a polished but uneven return for Sia, blending emotional ballads and glittery pop bangers into an ambitious yet scattered album that struggles to find a clear identity.
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.
Cold Visions by Bladee
Cold Visions drowns in its own distorted chaos, delivering 30 tracks of repetitive noise and emotionless autotune that even the most loyal Bladee fans might struggle to endure.
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.
The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology by Taylor Swift
The Tortured Poets Department is Taylor Swift at her most raw and self-aware, blending biting wit, emotional wreckage, and sonic experimentation into a darkly addictive album that feels like heartbreak reimagined as performance art.
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.
We Still Don’t Trust You by Metro Boomin and Future
We Still Don’t Trust You is an overstuffed, underwhelming slog that leans on recycled ideas and bloated production, proving that even Future and Metro Boomin can run a good formula into the ground.
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.
Ramona by Grace Cummings
Ramona swings for emotional and theatrical grandeur but ends up feeling overproduced and disjointed, with Grace Cummings’ powerful voice often drowning in a sea of mismatched arrangements and missed opportunities.
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.
Cowboy Carter by Beyoncé
Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé at her most daring, blending country, folk, and experimental sounds into a sprawling exploration of identity and Black history that’s as bold as it is uneven.
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?
JPEG RAW by Gary Clark Jr.
Gary Clark Jr.’s JPEG RAW is a bold, messy experiment that swings for the fences, blending blues, hip-hop, funk, and soul into a genre-defying ride that’s as thrilling as it is uneven.
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.
Currents by Tame Impala
Currents flips the script on Tame Impala’s usual hazy guitars, trading them for a synth-soaked, danceable dive into heartbreak and self-discovery that hits harder the more you let it in.
