Not Just a Goof (2025) “The film really shines as it showcases never-before-seen footage and highlights its heartfelt influence on fans, especially within the Black community.” – Pop Culture Planet Apr 23, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 80% “Saxon delivers a visual marvel with The Legend of Ochi that calls to mind old-school fantasy adventures from Amblin, Jim Henson, and Studio Ghibli. [...] Unfortunately, the film falters when it comes to story, world building, and character development.” – Pop Culture Planet Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% “Snow White offers a fresh spin on the classic tale that is elevated to the realm of a new original musical thanks to tracks by Pasek and Paul. [The film] stands on its own merit as one of the better live-action Disney adaptations.” – Pop Culture Planet Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Picture This (2025) 45% “Picture This film didn’t necessarily feel like a rom-com, but more of a self-love story. While I like this cast and believe in the empowering messages, this film didn’t do anything that stands out in the rom-com genre or makes you go back for a re-watch.” – Pop Culture Planet Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “Mickey 17 is a quirky, absurd dark sci-fi laced with political satire & existential commentary. A wild & poignant exploration of how society treats those it deems disposable — and what happens when you allow it because you feel you deserve that treatment.” – Pop Culture Planet Mar 10, 2025 Full Review La Dolce Villa (2025) 75% “The European adventure has a sweet and charming Hallmark-style energy that you can’t help but fall in love with. By the end, you’ll be ready to book your own Italian vacation.” – Pop Culture Planet Feb 21, 2025 Full Review You're Cordially Invited (2025) 48% “You’re Cordially Invited is a fun wedding romp with a cast that works well together. With a tighter script and giving some players a little more to work with comedically, they could’ve taken the story to the next level.” – Pop Culture Planet Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% “Companion is a breath of fresh air, solidifying itself as the first great film of 2025. [...] Equal parts thrilling, deranged, and empowering, this feminist opus has the makings of a new horror classic. ” – Pop Culture Planet Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% “This vibrant and whimsical documentary is unconventional in the best way as it takes you through the life of the hitmaker from his childhood in Virginia through to his success in music. ” – Pop Culture Planet Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% “The jump scares got me and I enjoyed the atmosphere and visuals from the POV of the monster, but you’ll see the twists and turns coming from a mile away. All in all, Wolf Man is fine, but extremely predictable.” – Pop Culture Planet Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Back in Action (2025) 28% “But half way through, Back in Action loses its energy. The supporting characters and their motivations get lost in the shuffle and the plot drags along until it reaches its formulaic ending.” – Pop Culture Planet Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% “Moana and Mau are back like they never left! While I could take or leave some of the new characters, they really up the stakes in this adventure. The animation is truly magical as it centers around a story of unifying people.” – Pop Culture Planet Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% “Wicked is a masterpiece. The way Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo transform in these roles gave me chills. They make such strong and distinct acting and singing choices that truly make these characters their own. I was absolutely blown away!” – Pop Culture Planet Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% “Red One is an action-packed holiday showdown. [...] They level up the holiday magic we know and love, while adding a fresh perspective with mythological characters we don’t often see represented. A blast for the whole family!” – Pop Culture Planet Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Your Monster (2024) 77% “Their odd chemistry works and has you rooting for the unlikely pair. Barrera is pitch perfect as usual. [...] This genre-bending rom-com isn’t afraid to take big swings — and it’s all the better for it. ” – Pop Culture Planet Oct 22, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “The heightened and surreal environment adds to The Twilight Zone-esque tale of beauty standards and body horror. [...] The makeup and effects team deserve all the love for really transforming both actors throughout the film in bold and grotesque ways.” – Pop Culture Planet Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% “It's disturbing and gory, with Scott proving she’s a scream queen on the rise. Between her blood-curdling screams and the realistic terror behind her eyes, this is a career-best performance for the actress.” – Pop Culture Planet Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Carved (2024) “Unfortunately Carved won’t be a new Halloween classic. The script is long-winded and the story grows stagnant. The chemistry is lacking within this ensemble of actors and the special effects come across cheesy at times.” – Pop Culture Planet Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Girl Haunts Boy (2024) 92% “If you like your spooky movies with a more wholesome vibe, you don’t want to miss Girl Haunts Boy. Cimino anchors the ghostly romance with his charm and warmth, while List brings a free-spirited wit to her role.” – Pop Culture Planet Oct 22, 2024 Full Review The Wild Robot (2024) 96% “The Wild Robot is full of stunning visuals and a heartwarming tale of "mother" and son. The messages of kindness and the power of saying “I love you” are moving and will relate to all kinds of families. The tears got me in the final act!” – Pop Culture Planet Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Never Let Go (2024) 58% “This is my favorite type of thriller that keeps you guessing and makes you analyze everything. Chilling, unsettling, creepy… this is the most stressed I’ve been in a movie theater in years.” – Pop Culture Planet Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Uglies (2024) 16% “Uglies would’ve been an absolute hit in the early 2000s, but, as much as I love these actors, it feels outdated. The script is awkward and the social commentary is stale. I wish they took bigger risks and updated the source material.” – Pop Culture Planet Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Subservience (2024) 49% “Megan Fox fully commits to her role as the eerie and sensual Alice in this formulaic film. Its less of a thriller and more like 50 Shades of AI. [The] film leaves room to expand, but I don’t think it has the legs to become a cult classic worth continuing.” – Pop Culture Planet Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% “Speak No Evil is the best Blumhouse movie I’ve seen all year. James McAvoy’s acting range is unmatched. He’s so charming and psychotic in the best ways. My theater was both roaring with laughter and screaming at the screen. It’s an absolute blast!” – Pop Culture Planet Sep 14, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% “My Old Ass is a funny, moving, and relatable story of making the most of the time you have with the people you love. Maisy Stella is an absolute star, delivering one of the best performances of the year.” – Pop Culture Planet Sep 14, 2024 Full Review
