“With Nope, Peele himself creates a spectacle, entertaining us with stunning imagery and bloody violence that's worth going to the theater for. ” –

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
74%
“Some of its boldest choices don't fully work, but it's hard not to appreciate a Marvel blockbuster that strives to stir the pot and really lets Raimi be Raimi. ” –

Turning Red (2022)
95%
“A hilarious and energetic coming-of-age comedy which is refreshingly open about puberty, novel territory for Disney. ” –

The Batman (2022)
85%
“However bleak and disturbing the movie might be, The Batman's grittiness is in service of an unexpectedly optimistic message, and Reeves brings some much-needed glimmers of hope to this otherwise gloomy picture. ” –

Scream (2022)
76%
“While the fifth round doesn't reach the heights of Craven's first, its incisive meta-commentary offers enough reason to have brought the franchise back from the dead once more.” –

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
92%
“An all-around excellent origin story, which features among the most exhilarating action in the Marvel series, continues the franchise's trend of showcasing much better villains than it used to, and builds to a surprisingly ambitious second half.” –

The Suicide Squad (2021)
90%
“James Gunn takes what was a frantically paced mess and turns it into an off-the-wall good time that leans into hilariously brutal violence but with a surprisingly moving emotional center.” –

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
56%
“While not a horror all-timer like its two predecessors, The Devil Made Me Do It comes recommended for fans of the series and especially for those invested in Ed and Lorraine Warren as characters.” –

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
38%
“The retooling, though, feels disappointingly like a generic serial killer film that just happens to have a coat of Saw paint applied to it. It also serves as a reminder that truly memorable horror villains aren't so easily replaceable.” –

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
76%
“Mixing these movies does a disservice to both of them, leaving Godzilla vs. Kong without time to do enough with either. Combining franchises can be a joy when done right, but sometimes two monster movies aren't better than one.” –

The Rental (2020)
73%
“It's a decent horror-thriller, but one that's a little undercooked and unfocused. It turns out to be more forgettable than anticipated, leading us to wonder about the truly great, more consistent film that could have been.” –

Relic (2020)
91%
“James' debut... is a creepy, emotional haunted house feature that often takes a less-is-more approach. For the most part, it really pays off, and her confidence suggests audiences can expect more great work to come.” –

The Hunt (2020)
57%
“A misguided satire that sloppily gestures toward Our Divided Times before arriving at a muddled thesis about misinformation and partisanship that lands with a thud.” –

The Invisible Man (2020)
91%
“Boasting a killer Elisabeth Moss performance, Leigh Whannell's reboot is a clever, suspenseful horror-thriller that suggests the future of the Universal monsters isn't so dark after all.” –

Frozen II (2019)
77%
“Frozen 2 is no soulless retread but rather a much more narratively complex, visually inventive, and thematically interesting follow-up than anticipated. Its reach at times exceeds its grasp, but the effort is consistently admirable.” –

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
68%
“All in all though, bogged down by familiar plot beats and comedy cliches, Double Tap seems destined to become one of those highly-anticipated but mediocre follow-ups that fails to leave a lasting impression.” –

Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019)
86%
“[Quentin] Tarantino has the confidence to rely almost entirely on character, setting, and mood to keep a film of his afloat. And in this case, Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood sure does float.” –

Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
64%
“By giving us both the best of Annabelle and the best of The Conjuring, Annabelle Comes Home gets to have twice as much fun as it would have were it a traditional second sequel, including with callbacks to both series.” –

Toy Story 4 (2019)
97%
“Toy Story 4 is still great, and it works by respecting its predecessor's conclusive nature while offering a few additional thoughts rather than attempting to start over with a clean slate.” –
