“It’s easy to root for this crew. Even though they’re knock-off Avengers, they’re ones that people can better relate to than Norse gods, WWII legends or millionaire scientists with the resources to purchase small nations. ” –

Neighborhood Watch (2025)

“Neighborhood Watch has a conventional motif: the unlikely duo who can barely stand each other, who team up and discover something about themselves that transcends their original goal. It may be formulaic, but there’s comfort in its predictability. ” –

The Accountant 2 (2025)
77%
B
“In the end, The Accountant 2 isn’t any better or worse than its predecessor. It’s predictable but entertaining, unrealistic, but that doesn’t affect things much. A more feel-good vibe is injected this time in a story with lots of guns and an epic battle. ” –

Warfare (2025)
92%
A-minus
“What’s striking is there is no political message or jingoistic sentiment. The film doesn’t offer commentary about the war, nor does it ostentatiously venerate veterans. It's just a memory-driven record of what happened, and it's shockingly successful.” –

Fog of War (2025)
C
“Given all that’s wrong with the film, what’s really disappointing are all the hints that spoil the mystery. The plot-signaling makes Fog of War a film that compels you to fast-forward to the end just to see if your guess was right. Spoiler alert: It was.” –

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024)

A
“There’s a glaringly exaggerated abandonment of personal safety, a shocking dependence on the employment of over-sized mallets and flagrant disregard for the forces of gravity and other laws of physics. In other words, pure fun.” –

My Dead Friend Zoe (2024)

“Sonequa Martin Green has never been more real in a role than she is in this film. Known for The Walking Dead and lately, Star Trek: Discovery, this is a role that taps into her range of emotionality and roots her solidly in the bedrock of high drama. ” –

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- (2025)
C
“Hey, I’m one for science-fiction, battling giant robots, and adventures in space. But what about balancing things so the backstory doesn’t take up more than 60% of the film’s run-time and it takes less than an hour to introduce the hero?” –

Star Trek: Section 31 (2025)

C
“What is recognizably Star Trek is underplayed and in the background, like something planted to legitimize the show. Even Discovery fans will have to admit this spin-off is weakly told. The characters are contrived and even Michelle Yeoh can’t save it. ” –

“Probably the best production of the litany of Tolkien pre-Ring stories to come to the big screen, including The Hobbit. Some parts drag, some are campy but this is definitely something to see on the big screen. ” –

Blitz (2024)

“Blitz is a powerfully emotional story built on a foundation of surprising historical accuracy. It’s a story of heroism at the level where it wouldn’t be perceived as heroism; simply people doing their jobs as best as they can, given the circumstances.” –

Frankie Freako (2024)

“The puppeteering is done well enough. After all, Frankie, his buddies and the denizens of Freakworld are examples of the puppeteering technology of the 1980s, and this is in line with the story setting. It’s just not especially entertaining.” –

The Invisibles (2024)
A
“Does a life of experience have greater value than a life of avoidance? The way director/writer Andrew Currie (Fido, Mile Zero) lays it out is provocative and vivid. Invisibility is the metaphor for accepting that the joys of life come at a cost.” –

“There was anguish in the ’94 film born of a true sense of suffering and loss. This version throws out that core and substitutes clumsy gore, a schmaltzier love story and a treatment of the supernatural that’s too vague to follow or swallow.” –
