Sister Midnight (2024) 96% 8.0/10 “Sister Midnight is wonderful, transfixing in its celluloid-shot cinematography, which makes its many urban-nightscape scenes particularly vibrant in their long shadows, and wonderfully acted by Apte, whose near-feral aggrievement is oddly winning.” – Paste Magazine May 16, 2025 Full Review The Four Seasons (1981) 72% “It’s more of a promising outline than a satisfying movie unto itself.” – Decider May 15, 2025 Full Review Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) 14% D- “Some older folks may have seen the standalone term “visual” used in place of “music video,” and wondered what the difference is. This is it. Hurry Up Tomorrow is not a movie, nor a music video. It is a visual.” – AV Club May 15, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 7.8/10 “The majority of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is spectacular entertainment whose in-movie absurdity is nearly matched by the technical absurdity required to pull it off behind the scenes.” – Paste Magazine May 14, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% 6.7/10 “Final Destination Bloodlines, sixth movie in the death-trap series, doesn't deepen its characters, but it mounts some terrific set pieces.” – Paste Magazine May 13, 2025 Full Review Sniper: The Last Stand (2025) “Sniper: The Last Stand isn’t bad for what it’s trying to do. But what it’s trying to do isn’t ultimately that enticing if you haven’t watched ten previous Sniper movies and are therefore potentially excited for more.” – Decider May 12, 2025 Full Review Fight or Flight (2024) 77% 5/10 “A movie this aggressively empty needs to be a lot more fun to get by.” – IGN Movies May 9, 2025 Full Review Summer of 69 (2025) 94% 6.8/10 “If the movie’s adult characters are conveniences, its evocation of teenage yearning-slash-horniness (and the ways those can get mixed up) feels pretty real, even in the more outlandish moments.” – Paste Magazine May 6, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 77% 3/5 “ The soul of the movie isn’t particularly in the human/creature relationship at its center, but in the stunning craftsmanship that surrounds (and in the creature’s case, creates) them.” – Guardian Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Murder at Yellowstone City (2022) 24% “Murder is neither here nor there; not a powerful morality tale, and not much of an exploitation picture.” – Decider Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Until Dawn (2025) 53% 6.1/10 “Though the game it’s based on is of a more recent and sophisticated vintage, the movie is closer to an arcade experience: You pump in some quarters and kill some time, until one or the other runs out.” – Paste Magazine Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 76% 6.7/10 “That’s the true power of Affleck and Bernthal’s collective charm offensive: They can make a junky story about a computer-brained savior of human-trafficking victims resemble a whimsical hangout session.” – Paste Magazine Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Land of the Lost (2009) 26% “The sets and CG creatures have a kind of what-the-hell weirdness and tactility that successful recreates the show’s aesthetic on a bigger budget, while Ferrell and McBride still have room to goof around. ” – Decider Apr 14, 2025 Full Review G20 (2025) 56% 3/10 “There's not much in the way of exciting or well-staged action. All that’s left, then, are a bunch of thriller cliches and unconvincing political details.” – IGN Movies Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 7.1/10 “Christopher Landon pushes his style into overdrive for Drop, a neo-Hitchcockian thriller that's preposterous but entertaining.” – Paste Magazine Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% B “It's charming to see Boden and Fleck find a less mechanical, less programmatic way to have fun.” – AV Club Apr 4, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% 6/10 “Thematically, A Minecraft Movie offers a pat world-is-what-you-make-it lesson, but Jack Black and Jason Momoa in particular sell it with a lot of comic enthusiasm.” – IGN Movies Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Hell of a Summer (2023) 53% 5.3/10 “The young duo has made a lightly amusing, somewhat amateurish film that’s ultimately less homage than post-it reminder: Remember to pick up an ’80s-style slasher-comedy hybrid for dinner.” – Paste Magazine Apr 2, 2025 Full Review The Woman in the Yard (2025) 42% 7.1/10 “On its terms, and especially with an ending I read as ambiguous, The Woman in the Yard is also unflinching enough to maybe count as daring, and maybe Sollet-Cerra’s most viscerally moving film.” – Paste Magazine Mar 28, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 2/4 “The movie’s steady supply of working-class posturing is a bit much, even for the genuinely and charmingly rough-hewn Statham.” – Guardian Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 39% C “Anything that comes across like a deleted scene from Scorsese provides welcome jolts of laughter to the otherwise dry proceedings. ” – AV Club Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Ash (2025) 72% 6.7/10 “It’s heavy on the red filters, flashes of faces melting, and some knockabout point-of-view shots, all designed to let the initial sci-fi trappings bleed into cosmic horror.” – Paste Magazine Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% 6.6/10 “The movie bends to Zegler’s talent not through its standard-issue imitation of what dopes will call wokeness, but by embracing its status as a musical.” – Paste Magazine Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 5.5/10 “Novocaine has a gonzo premise out of a Crank movie, yet it starts out surprisingly sweet before getting progressively dumber.” – Paste Magazine Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 8.0/10 “The experimental Soderbergh and the slick studio Soderbergh have long since merged, and Black Bag, a fusion of marriage and espionage that could have come out 80 years out with a few tweaks for content, is the perfect example.” – Paste Magazine Mar 6, 2025 Full Review
