Send Help is a hilarious, gross-out, thrill ride that has something more to think about than its surface values.
'A Private Life'-Is a Middling Psychological Essay
There’s simply not much for this film to leave itself to remember by other than Jodie Foster speaking fluent French for two hours.
'Boogie Nights' 4K UHD Has Some Nice Swing
If you happened to lose your two-disc DVD of Boogie Nights, then PTA has you covered with one of the best re-releases I’ve seen in the last two years.
'28 Years Later: The Bone Temple'-Hate Done Effectively
DaCosta does what she can from the foundation that Danny Boyle built. DaCosta is more of a traditional, methodical filmmaker with commercial sensibilities. The result is an engrossing success. If not for that pesky ending.
'Greenland 2: Mid-Gration'
This is a disaster film after all, so have some fun with it instead of taking everything so darned seriously. It’s not like the world is actually ending. Oh, wait, never mind.
'Rosemead'-Goes Out With a Bang
Don’t let the poster that’s all smiles fool you. This is not an uplifting story. We’re led to believe this might be one, but reality is much sadder than we care to admit.
'Dead Man's Wire' is a Dull Dog Afternoon
Where the movie should have begun or met its halfway point, it ends. Kind of like what Gus Van Sant did with Milk.
'The Testament of Ann Lee'-Has The Spirit of The Lord
Director Mona Fastvold makes even the non-religious understand the logic behind a religion.
'Anaconda' Has a Sharp Bite to the Funny Bone
The movie is loaded with great scenes that earn laughs. If you’re looking for a feel-good time at the movies during Christmas, this would be your best bet.
'Avatar: Fire and Ash'-Strong Heart, Weak Script
Avatar is getting old, making you feel like you're aging as the story keeps repeating the same beats for three+ hours.
The Best Movies of 2025-According to Some Guy
You’ll hopefully agree with my pics. Some on the list almost didn’t make it, yet prevailed in the end. Find out which ones!
'Is This Thing On?' Performs a Decent Set
It's certainly not a Best Picture contender, no matter how hard Cooper and Netflix try to push it. It's merely okay, which is pretty much the state of Bradley Cooper's directorial career.
'Marty Supreme' Will Rock Your Nerves Like a Bouncing Ball
For a boring subject like table tennis, Josh Safdie turns the material into a nonstop thrill ride where you'll mostly forget about the movie's monster 2.5-hour length
'Wake Up Dead Man' Is Filled With Life
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery does everything a murder mystery should do. Secondly, the Knives Out films does everything right that The Last Jedi got wrong.
Why 'Hamnet' Will Break and Repair Your Heart
For a common fool like myself, unable to even comprehend most of Shakespeare's old English, Hamnet profoundly makes you understand his work.
'Wicked: For Good' Doesn't Understand the World of Oz
There's nothing more wicked than tampering with the source material.
'Jay Kelly' Has More Ego Than Heart
Maybe we should worship doctors and teachers more than movie stars. Sadly, we don't live in a culture like that.
'The Running Man' Is More of a Jog Than a Sprint Toward Revolution
The Running Man sprints towards mediocrity.
'Predator: Badlands' Is Worth Hunting Down Tickets For
Thanks to a loveable performance from Elle Fanning, an awesome lead character, and a tribalistic score that slaps, Predator: Badlands is a hunt worth taking.
'Hedda' Is a Slight Cut Above The Typical Evil Rich People Movie
With a little more work in the editing room and motivation other than greed from Tessa Thompson, Hedda could be even more notable than it already is.
