The Accountant 2 (2025) 76% 7.5/10 “O'Connor himself has referred to it as "Rain Man" on steroids, and he's not entirely wrong. It's at once a fun and crowd-pleasing picture in that classic's vein as well as an extrapolation of what worked so well in the last outing. ” – Looper.com Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 7.5/10 “The film is a gargantuan undertaking and its heights will reverberate through pop culture for the foreseeable future. But some of its bigger swings don't quite connect and suggest that it is possible for a movie to try to be too many things at once.” – Looper.com Apr 15, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 6/10 “...may have reached a new low in seeing how boilerplate a premise can be while still leading to a satisfying moviegoing experience.” – Looper.com Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “As fun as “Mickey 17” is, it’s in these fleeting moments of ecological despair that it rings the truest and in its brief bursts of justifiable rage at the state of the world around us.” – The Baltimore Beat Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 8.5/10 “It's a sharp, sexy, and intoxicating drama that has more in common with Patrick Marber's play "Closer" than with most spook stories. And did we mention it's only 93 minutes?” – Looper.com Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% “...the first capital G-great film of the post-DEI era. ” – The Baltimore Beat Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 47% 7/10 “Plays like a rhyming piece with the Russo brothers' work on "Winter Soldier." But for anyone hoping for more than secondhand nostalgia — a 2025 film homaging a 2014 film homaging a broad simulacrum of the 1970s — "Brave New World" will likely disappoint.” – Looper.com Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% “If someone of Jenkins’s pedigree can’t, with all this budgetary power behind him, best some poster on Elon Musk’s X typing “lions fight on mountaintop epic” into Sora, then Hollywood is truly cooked.” – The Baltimore Beat Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% 5.5/10 “There's a tender, wholesome story buried underneath all the unoriginal repetition, and it could have been a welcome balm for audiences living in murky times.” – Looper.com Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Juror #2 (2024) 93% 7.5/10 “A comforting reminder of Eastwood's sturdy film craft and his lighter touch behind the camera. But some minor nagging issues hold it back from being something truly memorable, the sort of picture that would thrive in reruns on TNT. ” – Looper.com Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 7/10 “"Venom: The Last Dance" is the closing chapter of an unlikely trilogy, a springboard for further IP mining, and a touching send-off to the hero some of us didn't even want but will now surely miss. ” – Looper.com Oct 23, 2024 Full Review It's What's Inside (2024) 79% ““It’s What’s Inside” mines a well-worn horror set-up for a thrilling and inventive mystery that’s as crowd-pleasing as it is disorienting. ” – The Baltimore Beat Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Rebel Ridge (2024) 95% ““Rebel Ridge” rejects expectations for the kind of film it is presented to be, for better and for worse.” – The Baltimore Beat Sep 25, 2024 Full Review The Killer (2024) 59% “Whether or not it’s as good as the original is beside the point; it’s worth the price of admission alone to watch one of global cinema’s most significant living masters work within the strange new streaming normal and still pull out something of value.” – The Baltimore Beat Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% 7.5/10 “The humor and tension are plenty filling on their own, keeping the mind busy until the proceedings devolve into the requisite carnage American audiences will be salivating for.” – Looper.com Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Trap (2024) 57% 8/10 “At its worst, a fun premise devolved into an incoherent puzzler. At best, a strangely moving exploration of parenthood and work/life balance.” – The Armchair Auteur Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% “But on the first watch, it’s difficult to shake the feeling that we’re watching both a celebratory coming-out party for Perkins as a director and empirical proof that his screenwriting requires more polish” – The Baltimore Beat Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 6/10 “"Deadpool and Wolverine' seems to exist only as Kevin Feige’s desperate attempt to clutch some much needed “we’re so back” from the jaws of “it’s so over” defeat.” – The Armchair Auteur Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 7/10 “"Twisters" can't quite recapture the magic of its predecessor, but setting aside the Herculean task of clearing that high bar, it is nonetheless an entertaining and heartfelt attempt...” – Looper.com Jul 17, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% ““MaXXXine” is a film whose metatextual, cinematic preoccupations hold it back from greatness.” – The Baltimore Beat Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 56% 6/10 “As a fun way to kill 95 minutes with your family, "Despicable Me 4" is an unassailable success, even if anyone hoping for more than clearing that low bar may be left wanting.” – Looper.com Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% ““Hit Man” ascends into something special” – The Baltimore Beat Jun 19, 2024 Full Review I Saw the 온라인카지노추천 Glow (2024) 84% ““I Saw the 온라인카지노추천 Glow” is a heavy rumination on an element of being trans that ought to speak to plenty of cis folks, too: having the sense that something about your life is very wrong, but being trapped at the precipice of doing anything about it. ” – The Baltimore Beat Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) 65% 7.5/10 “"Bad Boys: Ride or Die" may be short on actual ambition, but it's long on ticking all the necessary boxes for moviegoers.” – Looper.com Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% ““Challengers” feels like a time machine back to an era where seeing a handful of talented and photogenic actors unravel interpersonal relationships was enough to get butts in seats at the multiplex. ” – The Baltimore Beat May 21, 2024 Full Review
