Sinners (2025) 98% 7/10 “Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s latest has much on its mind while offering the Hollywood power team an opportunity to play in the IMAX-worthy horror film sandbox.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Apr 12, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 3/10 “It’s a generic Mad Libs approximation of what a big-budget film intended to start a franchise—although, to its credit, it’s pretty closed-ended—tentpole should look like while lacking individuality, specificity or even the scale that might set it apart.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Magazine Dreams (2023) 80% 6/10 “The "fallen" star is terrific in this otherwise small-scale drama which saw its value as a likely Oscar nominee undercut by skewed "real life imitates art" circumstances.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 6/10 “ In a creative sense, the Paramount release is the kind of movie that used to sustain studios and create stars. In a commercial sense, it’s from a time when “good enough” was “good enough.”” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 7/10 “'Mickey 17' plays like a *very good* Bong Joon-ho mix tape.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 7/10 “Steven Soderbergh and David Koepp’s latest is “What if Harry Palmer was a bad-ass mf-er who is a sex machine to exactly one chick (who was cooler than him) while together they treated British spy craft as a cosplay of The Thin Man?”” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 5/10 “This potential unintentional camp classic is livelier and less dutifully dull than the likes of 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'The Little Mermaid'. But that's not saying much.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 53% 6/10 “A spectacular ensemble cast engergizes a fun creature feature that yearns to be of a time when movies like this had the budgets and tools needed to really cut loose.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 4/10 “'Brave New World' is very bad. Imagine that Roger Moore's first 007 flick was 'A View to a Kill.' It's a lazily-retrofitted and dumbed-down hybrid of 'Winter Soldier' and 'Civil War' that trades present-tense topicality for 'Incredible Hulk' nostalgia.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 7/10 “A Paddington flick that merely isn't as good as Paddington 2 is still a pretty damn good Paddington flick.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 4/10 “A strained and inorganic attempt to recapture the magic of 'Invisible Man', this 'Wolf Man' lacks nards. ” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 85% 5/10 “SONIC THE HEDGEHOG was surprisingly decent, while SONIC 2 was legitimately good. The busier, more frantic, action-focused SONIC 3 comparatively disappoints by merely being "Okay, I guess."” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 6/10 “Barry Jenkins' prequel is better than Jon Favreau's Lion King' remake and closer in spirit to Disney's "better than they need to be" mid-2010s tentpoles (like Jon Favreau's 'Jungle Book') than their recent nostalgia-chasing, culturally timid rehashes.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Thelma (2024) 98% 8/10 “It’s a thoughtful, nuanced and compelling character study that’s as much about specific relationships as the gee-whiz notion of our elderly heroine “protecting the hive.” It’s a showcase for June Squib and a well-deserved swan song for Richard Roundtree. ” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 7/10 “Jon M. Chu's first "act" succeeds - with terrific turns from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande - as a satisfying fantastical musical tragedy that doesn't feel like half a movie. =” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 6/10 “The Venom series began as a lazy, cynical IP cash-in born from the wrongheaded notion that moviegoers want cinematic universes and superheroes in the abstract. It is now oddly innocent and specific, even compared to the brand it tried to emulate.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% 4/10 “Disney ruled the 2010s because they made toons as good as Zootopia. They are now “ruling” the 2020s because… they once made toons as good as Zootopia.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Juror #2 (2024) 93% 6/10 “I *like* movies like this. Warts and all, I'd still would rather sit through more like this (alongside offbeat near-misses like Book of Henry or Collateral Beauty) than pretend to be excited about Princess Diaries 3, Alien 10 or Transformers + G.I. Joe.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% 5/10 “Amazon's would-be theatrical tentpole, starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, is better when it prioritizes Christmas cheer instead of generic action spectacle.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 5/10 “Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator' follow-up is timely and appropriately angry, but its reverence for the original film's protagonist eventually undercuts its narrative and its convictions.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% 6/10 “Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis is a fascinating “mess,” existing primarily as an epic, must-see, PLF-worthy ode to its own existence.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Y2K (2024) 42% 3/10 “Y2K lacks engrossing characters, a compelling thematic throughline or clever comedy while only containing enough premise-specific setpieces to cut a promising trailer.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% 6/10 “Even amid Oscar season, good is not the enemy of perfect. Yes, Tully is better, but Nightbitch is still pretty good.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 4/10 “Kraven pulls off the trick of being overlong (127 minutes, the longest of Sony’s live-action “SSU” flicks) and seemingly stitched together in the editing room, with little coherent storytelling beyond Sony’s franchise Mad Libs manual.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) 48% 3/10 “You'll be bored of these 'Rings'.” – The Outside Scoop (Substack) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review
