The Assessment (2024)

6/10
“ I applaud the ambition of the film and some of the attempts to shock the audience, but it is not as fully realized to work as a satire, allegory, or indictment despite wanting to be all three. ” –

The Luckiest Man in America (2024)
66%
7/10
“This fascinating story keeps you guessing the whole way. By the end, I had hoped for a little more substance to the story, but the decision to keep this take on the story focused on the game show itself gives the story a sense of urgency.” –

“ Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is a perfect rom-com that should be playing on the big screen this weekend instead of on Peacock, but I have no doubt many couples will be streaming this from home on Valentine’s Day.” –

Love Me (2024)

“The concept itself is a humbling one that really shows how small we are in the grand scheme of the universe while still showing that our experiences go beyond time and space. Love Me may not work for everyone, but it is an exceptionally original attempt.” –

5/10
“Michelle Yeoh cannot save Section 31 from being a bad project from start to finish. This movie will debut and disappear just as quickly, and hopefully, it will not put a damper on better ideas coming through the franchise in the years to come.” –
