Until Dawn (2025) 50% 2.5/5 ““Until Dawn” is hampered by a few too many weak spots that keep it from gelling into the killer horror experience it teases. ” – Keith & the Movies Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 67% 4/5 “It’s a little bit of John Wick mixed with a little bit of John Woo. But Evans puts his own furiously violent stamp on the action which is what gives “Havoc” its style and energy.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 4/5 “It’s a richly imagined movie dripping with cultural flavor and possessing a keen sense of time and place….At the same time, “Sinners” turns into a blood-bathed vampire movie reminiscent of Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk till Dawn”.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% 3/5 ““The Amateur” is both competently and confidently made...But it’s not without its flaws. A tighter second half and more Jon Bernthal would have done wonders for this entertaining but drawn-out feature.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3.5/5 ““Drop” is an efficient and fun date-night thriller that doesn’t ask or expect too much from its audience. It’s pure, straight-shooting entertainment and I can’t help but appreciate it for knowing exactly what it is.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% 4.5/5 “The movie's focus remains on the men in uniform, and for 93 minutes we follow them through the trenches of warfare where we're inspired by acts of heroism yet grieved at the human cost. It's the latter that makes "Warfare" such a gut punch. ” – Keith & the Movies Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Gunslingers (2025) 5% 2/5 ““Gunslingers” never quite reaches the heights of its genre potential. Nagging issues repeatedly drag the movie down, often just as it’s winning us over. ” – Keith & the Movies Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Hell of a Summer (2023) 52% 2/5 ““Hell of a Summer” has a hard time standing out in a memorable way. It can’t quite muster the same appeal as the blood-soaked genre movies it clearly admires. And it doesn’t have enough of its own flavor to come across as something original.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Séance (2024) 100% 4/5 “A thematically rich, elegantly shot, and exquisitely acted dark mystery/relationship drama that’s focused more on the spirits within its characters than any haunting specter without.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% 2.5/5 ““Freaky Tales” is a pulpy smorgasbord of genres, style choices, and characters, coagulating into an overstuffed Bay Area pastiche that has a hard time finding its footing. ” – Keith & the Movies Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 3.5/5 “The film’s ultimate interest is in skewering the uber-wealthy through an outlandish scenario that may be a bit uneven in spots, but that ultimately finds a good rhythm amid the slew of gags and gore.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Woman in the Yard (2025) 44% 2.5/5 “Sadly the last third drags the film down which is a real shame considering how well it sets itself up early on.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 3, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 2.5/5 “Statham ensures “A Working Man” remains watchable... But in the end, the filmmakers pour a lot into what is a pretty thin premise.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Wake Up (2023) 71% 3.5/5 ““Wake Up” pits a group of hapless young people against a sociopathic killer – nothing new there. But it’s the gnarly tone, the razor-sharp execution, and the gutsy all-out ending that makes the movie stand out.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 1, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 66% 3/5 “Even if you don’t know the history, there’s still enough here to pique your interest…So sit back and soak in this crazy tale. But afterwards, slip over to Wikipedia and check out the even crazier true account.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Shudderbugs (2022) 4/5 ““Shudderbugs” tells a deeply resonating story about coming to grips with loss and trying to move forward. It’s a story that’s rich with feeling, full of evocative imagery, and driven by an aching and soulful lead performance from Putnam herself.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 28, 2025 Full Review The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) 70% 3.5/5 “It doesn’t sit among Norman Jewison’s best films. But “The Thomas Crown Affair” has maintained a lasting appeal that (for the most part) still holds up today.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 25, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 40% 3.5/5 “The film hones in on a fascinating relationship set during an equally fascinating time in the history of the American Mafia. Pileggi’s script shows he has done his homework, and Levinson makes it a point to ensure the film stick close to the facts.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 65% 3/5 “While its midsection lulls bog things down a bit, there’s just enough meat on the bones of this gritty genre two-hander to hold your interest.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Ash (2025) 74% 4/5 “With its audacious visuals and masterfully managed tone, “Ash” sucks you into its forbidding far-away world, embracing several familiar conceits along the way while adding its own gnarly twists to them.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 3/5 “While its ending may clang, “Novocaine” hits plenty of good notes. It earns enough goodwill along the way, both thrilling and amusing us with its blood-soaked action slapstick while disarming us with its surprisingly big heart.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 4.5/5 “Soderbergh surrounds this tightly plotted thriller with the kind of visual craftsmanship that has become a hallmark of his movies. Toss in the delectable Fassbender and Blanchett, and you have one of the best films of this young movie year.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 14, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 2.5/5 “The Russos have created a fascinating world that feels like it’s still waiting to be discovered. And no matter how hard I tried, I never felt a connection to it.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Stream (2024) 95% 3.5/5 “Slasher movies have a style and spirit all their own.... But “Stream” doesn’t just settle for following formula. Leavy and company let their imaginations soar, taking some big original swings and having a blast doing it. ” – Keith & the Movies Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The World Will Tremble (2025) 92% 4.5/5 “Deftly handled with accuracy and urgency, Geller’s film is both a powerful testimony and a harrowing indictment...The results are astonishing. “The World Will Tremble” is the first great movie of 2025.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 11, 2025 Full Review
