The Legend of Ochi (2025) 80% 4.5/5 “It's hard not to get a bit sentimental thinking about the kids who are about to discover The Legend of Ochi. This is the kind of original, family-focused fantasy adventure that doesn't get made anymore, and it's more than worth seeing on the big screen.” – Discussing Film Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 4.5/5 “Sinners is Ryan Coogler's most audacious work yet, creating a fresh spin on vampire horror stories to express deeply rich themes of stolen culture and appropriation. ” – Discussing Film Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3.5/5 “Christopher Landon's versatility is on full display in Drop, bringing a clever thriller premise to life with cunning visuals and tons of fun energy. ” – Discussing Film Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 4.5/5 “If Parasite was a commentary on how capitalism is the root of classism and social inequality, then Bong Joon-ho's satirical Mickey 17 is a hilarious yet poignant look at a future where that same capitalist greed has bled people dry of all humanity.” – Discussing Film Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 2/5 “Anthony Mackie deserves a better script and a more competent studio at his back, rather than yet another half-baked effort like this. The golden days of Marvel Studios are long gone, and something needs to change to secure its future.” – Discussing Film Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 97% 4/5 “The Ballad of Wallis Island is an effortlessly charming comedy that beautifully talks about the dramatic highs and lows of clinging to the past, while giving Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan a chance to show off their great folk singing chops. ” – Discussing Film Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3/5 “Barry Jenkins crafts some inspired visuals in trying to adapt to photorealism, but the animals are still a bit too uncanny. This leads to a prequel that's just okay and won't win over any new fans. At least some of Lin-Manuel's new songs are catchy!” – Discussing Film Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 1/5 “As the last movie in Sony's Universe of Spider-Man villains, Kraven the Hunter couldn't have closed things out on a more pathetic note. This isn't like Madame Web where you can at least laugh at how bad it is. Just a total waste of time.” – Discussing Film Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 4/5 “Gladiator II doesn’t reach the same emotional heights as the original movie. However, for all the highly entertaining madness it has going for it, this legacy sequel is more than worthy.” – Discussing Film Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 2.5/5 “While Venom: The Last Dance does try to give an emotional goodbye to Eddie Brock and Venom's hilarious "bromance," too much of Tom Hardy's comedic charm is buried under Sony's unnecessary franchise setup.” – Discussing Film Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% 4.5/5 “Transformers One is exactly what the franchise needs right now. Director Josh Cooley delivers a riveting original story told with great reverence and a level of maturity that will bring fans of all ages together. ” – Discussing Film Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Your Monster (2024) 77% 4.5/5 “Your Monster is unafraid to alienate viewers. The film is confident in its themes and ends on a note so high that makes you wish we would get more bizarre genre blends as brave as this.” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Sasquatch Sunset (2024) 72% 4/5 “Sasquatch Sunset highlights how endless natural wonders are hiding in plain sight, and you don’t need to be a Bigfoot to realize that. ” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% 4/5 “Lisa Frankenstein is a colorful new entry in the “Good For Her” canon of horror films. It’s got the marks of an inspired director and a script that refuses to conform. Whatever small hiccups that are present can easily be forgiven because of this.” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Madame Web (2024) 11% 2.5/5 “Madame Web is destined for endless memes and the “so bad it’s good” treatment. People tried to do the same with Morbius, yet in this case, we have a movie that you can tell had a unique vision at first but was stumped by Sony’s usual studio antics.” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 4.5/5 “It almost feels like a miracle that Denis Villeneuve got to make a Dune adaptation this bold and daring in the current studio system. ” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) 71% 4/5 “While it may not be quite as amazing as the first two films, the inspired craftsmanship and sincere messages of Kung Fu Panda 4 make up for its few flaws.” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) 54% 3.5/5 “Here we have a kaiju film that is so confident and unashamed of its ambitions that even the fans who don’t prefer this style can at least say, “It’s not for me, but I can respect it.” ” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Abigail (2024) 83% 4.5/5 “Abigail knows exactly what it wants to be and how to achieve it, you’re either riding on its wavelength or not. This type of sheer confidence is what the modern horror genre often lacks. ” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% 3.5/5 “Despite a few hiccups, director Wes Ball successfully takes the Planet of the Apes franchise in a direction that’s filled with untapped potential. Aside from advancing the visual effects, this was the real test that Disney needed to accomplish.” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% 4.5/5 “When so many modern horror films often find themselves afraid of pushing barriers to avoid being labeled as exploitative, either with violence or subject matter, MaXXXine proves that you can do so in a way that brings out something valuable in the genre.” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 5/5 “George Miller defies all expectations with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a prequel that cements itself as a crucial piece of the Mad Max mythos. It’s hard to think of another modern prequel that significantly compliments its predecessor like this one does.” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% 5/5 “Writer-director Osgood Perkins leaves a mark on modern horror with a picture that’s so disturbing that it will make you look twice the next time you’re by a dark corner. All signs point to Longlegs being a true classic. ” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 4/5 “Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters is a disaster movie with a genuine heart and cinematic swagger that cannot be easily replicated. It's way more than a cash grab or just any other legacy sequel. ” – Discussing Film Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 3.5 “Alien: Romulus relies too much on nostalgia at times, but when director Fede Álvarez does present enough of his own fresh ideas, it takes the franchise to exciting new heights. ” – Discussing Film Aug 14, 2024 Full Review
