Thunderbolts* (2025)
88%
8/10
“In a franchise increasingly defined by diminishing returns and fan service fatigue, Thunderbolts* offers a rare moment of self-reflection, and a detour that feels meaningful in a way that most MCU films haven’t felt in years.” –

Yadang: The Snitch (2025)
91%
7/10
“When Yadang is working — which is most of the time — it’s because the film seems less concerned with moralizing and more interested in spectacle and personality, and Kang Ha-neul is the film’s biggest asset in that regard.” –

Havoc (2025)
67%
6/10
“Havoc doesn’t quite cohere as a story, but as a vehicle for pure, unrelenting action, it mostly succeeds. Those who appreciate the rhythm of well-executed violence, and don’t mind the excess that comes along with it, will find more than enough to satisfy.” –

Drop (2025)

7/10
“A tight, slightly ridiculous, occasionally stressful movie about a woman trying to survive the worst first date of her life, Drop knows exactly how far to push its premise before the whole thing breaks apart. ” –

Queen of the Ring (2024)
72%
7/10
“Queen of the Ring succeeds in making Mildred Burke feel like the icon she was... She’s not just fighting for the future of women’s wrestling, she’s fighting for herself, her son, and the career she refuses to let anyone take away from her. ” –

Blue Moon (2025)

8/10
“Hawke, ever a master of his craft, captures Hart’s sharp humor and bruised ego in equal measure, turning him into both the life of the party and its saddest spectacle... even the character’s most acidic moments feel deeply human.” –

No Beast. So Fierce. (2025)
5/10
“With a striking visual style and a commanding lead performance from Kenda Hmeidan, the film is undeniably ambitious. But much like its lead character, too much ambition turns out to be its eventual downfall.” –

The Light (2025)

4/10
“There are some striking visuals, and occasional glimpses of a sharper, more effective film buried within, but The Light‘s overindulgent running time and meandering execution will likely have audiences reaching for the switch.” –

Mickey 17 (2025)
77%
9/10
“Mickey 17 is about the small, stubborn act of asserting one’s own worth. It’s a story about survival, not just physically, but philosophically; it's not just about staying alive, but about refusing to be erased.” –

Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
47%
5/10
“Not a disaster, but also far from the bold, defining chapter that Sam Wilson deserves. Mackie does his best with what he’s given, but the script’s insistence on serving the greater MCU prevents the story from reaching its full potential. ” –

Wolf Man (2025)

4/10
“Wolf Man’s biggest misstep is its inability to balance its weighty themes with the inherent ridiculousness of the werewolf genre. Perhaps it's time for Universal to give this franchise the Old Yeller treatment.” –

Grand Theft Hamlet (2024)
93%
7/10
“The film leans heavily into the absurdity of its premise: watching a player-controlled Danish prince deliver his “to be or not to be” soliloquy while an in-game cop car smashes into the scene is a unique kind of hilarity. ” –

The Prosecutor (2024)

7/10
“The Prosecutor does a commendable job of bridging the gap between hard-hitting action and thoughtful (if sometimes overwrought) drama, reaffirming Yen as a force to be reckoned with, both in front of and behind the camera.” –

“With a healthy combination of action, atmosphere, and heart, and a thrilling climax that might feel a bit heavy-handed were it not based on historical record, Harbin succeeds as a gripping thriller that sheds light on a pivotal moment in Korea’s history.” –
