Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% “Brave New World feels like the latest entry in a universe that’s rapidly running out of steam, and not the inauguration of a new era (even a dystopian one!) that its title might imply.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 100% “Made up almost entirely of police bodycam footage, The Perfect Neighbor is a strikingly effective and thoroughly engrossing documentary about what happens when neighbors seem set on a collision course against each other.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 85% “[W]hat it lacks in production value in makes up for with some trenchant commentary on the tropes that True Crime shows/films use, and how much of what we see on screen is manufactured to manipulate us.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% “What was it about Chris Hansen’s To Catch a Predator that transfixed America? David Osit’s Predators attempts to explore these challenging questions while turning the camera on himself.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 62% “If you’re looking for a sequel that’s similar in tone to Den of Thieves, I think you’ll leave Pantera sorely disappointed. Pantera is much more laid back and it’s all about the European vibes — a follow-up akin to Ocean’s 12. ” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Jan 12, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% “Every fight has some kind of interesting twist on it that makes it feel fresh and inventive. I wish I could say the same thing about the script, which is mostly a remix of the first film but somehow feels edited to shreds in the final cut.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon - Part One: Director's Cut (2024) 53% “"The movie has just begun but it’s already clear what these new director’s cuts represent: They are bloodier, meaner, nastier, longer, and deeper versions of the Rebel Moon films that have already been released."” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Sep 1, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% B+ “Romulus brings the Alien franchise back to its roots: There’s a scary thing on a spaceship and it’s slowly killing everyone on board” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Trap (2024) 57% B “Hartnett is a revelation. Every single line, every mannerism, every micro-expression is perfectly calibrated.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% A- “Didi puts you in the mindset of a protagonist who’s struggling to figure out how to make friends and be “normal” and it’s not always as easy as it seems, especially as an Asian-American male.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% B “[Deadpool & Wolverine is] a biting love letter to all the films that brought us to the point we are today.” – Decoding Everything (Substack) Jul 23, 2024 Full Review The Brothers Bloom (2008) 68% 9/10 “With The Brothers Bloom, Johnson has unequivocally shown that he has the capacity to transcend the complex moodiness of Brick and deliver a full-blown crowd-pleaser. I can't wait to see what he does next.” – Slashfilm May 15, 2009 Full Review
