Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 5/10 “There’s a clear message of a community’s power to overthrow tyranny with the strength of the many against the few. This comes from a studio often blinded by dollar signs, despite them featuring the same message in Wish (2023), ineffectively.” – Screen Speck Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 9/10 “Fun, audacious, and gnarly, this film is a hit. ” – Screen Speck Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 8/10 “While caricaturistic, Mickey 17 works best in its emboldened mission of poking fun at the absurd nature of today’s political leaders. Caught in the crossfire of parody and drama, there’s a little bit for every viewer in Bong Joon-ho’s latest. ” – Screen Speck Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% 1.5/5 “A tiring funhouse of hopes, dreams, and desires somewhat wasted in Coppola's attempts at his own Citizen Kane odyssey, yet saved by its performances. ” – Film Posers Podcast Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 4/5 “Anora is pure fun. Perfect mix of enchantment, eroticism, and humor. It's Pretty Woman on crack. ” – Film Posers Podcast Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 7/10 “Gladiator II whisks its audience away to the past while reflecting on the present and future. Could it have improved what we’ve witnessed before beyond simply tweaking parts here and there? Yes. But it’s one hell of an entertaining show. ” – Screen Speck Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 9/10 “In essence, the film has the influential momentum of Avengers: Infinity War… but for musical theater nerds. Instantly, it transports the viewer to a world of possibilities mixed with new and familiar sights. ” – Screen Speck Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 6/10 “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a mixed bag of chills and thrills. ” – Screen Speck Oct 24, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 8/10 “The Substance begs us to love our bodies and waves a middle finger at what a “perfect” woman should be. ” – Screen Speck Aug 20, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% 3/5 “MaXXXine is great because of the creativity, but as a film itself, a standalone film at that, it falls flat. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Jul 6, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 4/5 “An adrenaline-filled thrill ride, and it's a perfect addition to the franchise. I was holding my breath throughout the entire film. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 4.5/5 “Furiosa [A Mad Max Saga] is creative, exhilarating, and perfect for fans of the saga and newcomers alike. It is refreshing and not to be missed. ” – Film Posers Podcast May 23, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% 4/5 “Challengers is Luca Guadagnino shining at his best. Justin Kuritzkes's script is incredible. What else can we say beyond flattery? But it is well deserved. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Monkey Man (2024) 89% 4/5 “Action movies are back, baby! An adrenaline-filled rush with revenge, love, culture, and politics. It has color, style, and it's a real treat. Go watch!” – Cinemania World Podcast Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Immaculate (2024) 71% 3.5/5 “Incredible performances. An intense and overwhelming horror piece about bodily autonomy. This movie would not have worked without Sydney Sweeney. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 8/10 “In all likelihood, Dune: Part Two will be revered in film history for years to come – it manages to be unlike anything we’ve seen before, yet comfortably familiar at the same time.” – Screen Speck Feb 26, 2024 Full Review TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023) 99% 8/10 “All in all, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is a cinematic milestone. While it is a money-guzzling machine, there is a genuine joy to everything this tour stands for. ” – Screen Speck Dec 26, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) 70% 4/5 “A beautiful send-off for this character.” – Cinemania World Podcast Dec 20, 2023 Full Review The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) 64% 7/10 “'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' makes it through as becoming one of the more memorable films of 2023. Despite its languish pace and a hard-to-sell romance, it’s action-packed and worthy of recognition.” – Screen Speck Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 93% 3/10 “Poor Things explicitly explores female sexual liberation. However, it’s less like a manifesto and more like an elevated sex comedy. ” – Screen Speck Nov 14, 2023 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 62% 4/5 “I'm not gonna lie, I loved The Marvels! It's the most fun I've had in theaters in a while. Iman Vellani is a superstar. ” – Cinemania World Podcast Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 4/5 “Killers of the Flower Moon sorprende. Es una película extraordinaria realizada por un reparto y un equipo igualmente de impresionante. Lily Gladstone merece cada gramo de elogio que recibirá por este papel.” – Todas PR Nov 3, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% 4/5 “Halle Bailey is a revelation. She is the heart and soul of this film, accompanied by wonderful performances by the cast all around. It is a wonderful addition to the story while still honoring the original. It is a treat!” – Filmme Talk May 27, 2023 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% 5/5 “It's up to par with all the other films in the franchise. There were moments when you could laugh. Moments where you could cry. Highly enjoyable!” – Cinemania World Podcast Apr 10, 2023 Full Review Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) 91% 4/5 “It'll leave you wanting more. We deserve more!” – Cinemania World Podcast Apr 10, 2023 Full Review
