The Last Supper (2025) “Despite having the inspired casting of Robert Knepper as Judas—aka the "bad guy that audiences love"—this reimagined Jesus story is ultimately unoriginal and forgettable. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 59% “It feels almost criminal that this over-the-top dysfunctional comedy is so genuinely entertaining.” – Common Sense Media Mar 4, 2025 Full Review No Address (2025) “Taking residence in viewers' hearts, this compelling drama with themes of hope, resilience, and humanity hits home deeply.” – Common Sense Media Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Millers in Marriage (2024) 56% “Fantasizing about a "better life" while navigating a troubled upper middle-class marriage feels a lot like "rich people drinking wine" problems. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 7/10 “A fun and deranged walk down memory lane” – Raising Whasians Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Janet Planet (2023) 85% “Great acting is overshadowed by a tediously slow, thin story in this reflective drama that's not for the impatient.” – Common Sense Media Sep 3, 2024 Full Review 200% Wolf (2024) “The animation is pretty good, and the themes of acceptance, respect, and self-sacrifice are worthy, but it all gets buried in an unoriginal plot and confusing side stories.” – Common Sense Media Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Deep Impact (1998) 45% “Unfortunately, most of this film's impact is an asteroid-sized disaster -- sunk deep” – Common Sense Media Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Backspot (2023) 87% “This queer coming-of-age cheerleading drama is a viscerally dynamic teen sports film that tackles complex themes of mental health, relationships, and ambition with a healthier perspective than many previous movies about cheerleading. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 26, 2024 Full Review The Firing Squad (2024) 3/5 “An earnest faith-based movie on a mission, this powerful, inspirational story occasionally misfires on connecting with viewers authentically. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 3, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 7/10 “The foulest, filthiest, fourth wall breaking sequel ever - but at what point are we literally beating the Dead(pool) horse?” – Raising Whasians Jul 23, 2024 Full Review She Rises Up (2024) 80% “The storytelling is honest and hungry. The women's courage and perseverance is motivating. And the focus on the countries of Sri Lanka, Senegal, and Peru may help educate some viewers about global cultures, communities, and business practices. ” – Common Sense Media Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Security (2016) “This formulaic action film doesn't use Banderas and Kingsley's talents to their fullest potential. Ultimately, Security is like a low-budget Die Hard meets Paul Blart: Mall Cop, with some hokey Home Alone thrown in.” – Common Sense Media Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Something to Stand For with Mike Rowe (2024) 80% 4/5 “Something to Stand For is a reminder/plea to remember the people who've made significant sacrifices for their country -- and to perhaps reevaluate our own views on what patriotism means. ” – Common Sense Media Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 56% 6/10 “Gru and his Minions have enough laughs to keep the franchise alive - but just barely. But you shouldn't rely on the old franchise magic to keep the new sequel afloat.” – Raising Whasians Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Longing (2024) 29% “This drama about love, loss, and self-discovery distills the complexity of grief. ” – Common Sense Media Jun 24, 2024 Full Review The Imaginary (2023) 91% 6/10 “Imaginary yes, but not quite imagination-full.” – Raising Whasians Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 8/10 “Hit me and my anxiety console to the core...but not in a cathartic Bing Bong soul crushing core memory kind of way.” – Raising Whasians Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Ladybugs (1992) 14% “Ladybugs hasn't aged well since the 1990s.” – Common Sense Media Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Hidden (2015) 83% “This twist on a post-apocalyptic thriller is more mood than story-based, with tightly framed shots and a strong performance by Skarsgård helping to solidify the intimate, isolating feel. ” – Common Sense Media May 29, 2024 Full Review Escape from Germany (2024) “While Escape from Germany could easily be labeled as propaganda for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with its heavy-handed faith-based dialogue and missionary characters, it's also a WWII film without brutal war violence. ” – Common Sense Media May 28, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 7/10 “This Dystopian mayhem is revved up visually with action-packed poetry - yet is lacking some of the oomph that Fury Road achieved with reviving the franchise.” – Raising Whasians May 21, 2024 Full Review Lord of the Flies (1990) 55% “Brutally violent, with a dark, overarching theme that may be difficult for kids to process, this adaptation is the scarier, more disturbing cousin of the 1963 film. ” – Common Sense Media May 20, 2024 Full Review The Garfield Movie (2024) 37% 6/10 “...a watchable kids movie for the summer that's definitely NOT the cat-astrophy of 2004. But definitely not my first choice for family movie night either.” – Raising Whasians May 20, 2024 Full Review IF (2024) 50% 8/10 “IF is a much-needed, long overdue therapy session with the inner child within all of us.” – Raising Whasians May 15, 2024 Full Review
