Marvel kicks off their exciting 2025 lineup with ‘Captain America: Brave New World’, a sequel that doesn’t break any thrilling new ground, but delivers a strong, street-level MCU film that should please fans and casual viewers.
With films under his belt such as ‘The Black Phone’, ‘Sinister’ and ‘Doctor Strange’, director Scott Derrikson should be an exciting, much talked auteur. Instead ‘The Gorge’ merely adds another film in a growing list of visually stunning yet ultimately flawed films.
Renée Zellweger gives her best and most vulnerable performance of Bridget Jones in the fourth instalment, ‘Mad About the Boy’ which pieces the titular character’s life back together in the wake of insurmountable loss.
Ke Huy Quan finally has an action vehicle to his name with ‘Love Hurts’, but his effervescent performance sadly can’t overcome the many hurdles this 83-minute-long affair is sadly stuck in.
‘Heart Eyes’ combines a Valentine’s day rom-com with a traditional slasher, but neither side of the coin creates any luck for the film.
Amy Schumer and Tyler Spindel destroy the joyful nature of screwball comedies with the horrifically unfunny ‘Kinda Pregnant’, which gets progressively worse as its eternal ninety-minute runtime stretches to unbearable heights.
Christopher Abbott’s towering lead performance elevates ‘Bring Them Down’ from petering out, but the film itself leaves a lot to be desired when it unjustifiably switches perspectives halfway through.
Walter Salles attempts to denounce Brazil’s military dictatorship in his family drama ‘I’m Still Here’ but accomplishes very little despite a committed performance by Fernanda Torres.
Mel Gibson is back in the director’s chair for his new thriller ‘Flight Risk’, a deeply disappointing and mediocre film that wastes his and everyone else’s notable talent.
Keke Palmer and SZA make one hell of a comedic duo in the uproariously funny ‘One of Them Days’, a perfect January surprise for moviegoers looking for pure escapism.
Leigh Whannell reinvigorates interest in the werewolf through his frequently thrilling ‘Wolf Man’, even if the movie stumbles as it reaches its uneventful conclusion.
Jeff Fowler, director and chief creative behind all three Sonic films thus far (as well as the ‘Knuckles’ show) got his start within the franchise early on, and it continues to pay off in ‘Sonic 3’.
While stars Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas give their all in ‘Babygirl’, the film is hindered by a severe lack of chemistry with its lead star and a profoundly miscast Harris Dickinson.
Following in the footsteps of abysmal prior efforts, ‘Kraven The Hunter’ seemingly ends Sony’s extended universe with a limp, lifeless comic book film that fails to excite or intrigue.
Tim Fehlbaum’s attempt at criticizing the normative ideals of journalistic objectivity in ‘September 5’ turns into a total and complete failure by being afraid of engaging itself with the backdrop it presents.
‘Nosferatu’ may truly be Robert Eggers’ best film yet. He fired on all cylinders here and delivered a spirited modern rendition of a classic story that belongs in the same hallowed halls as the 1922 original from which it was wrought.
William Goldenberg energetically depicts Anthony Robles' inspiring story in ‘Unstoppable’, a sports drama anchored by compelling turns from Jharrel Jerome, Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Lopez.
If you have the time, ‘Wicked’ is a totally worthy afternoon at the movies meant for family and friends. The World of Oz needed a refreshment, and perhaps this wizardly revisit is exactly what the wizard ordered.
Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans attempt to save Christmas in their big budget holiday adventure film ‘Red One’ - a holiday film that miserably fails to entertain and deliver what it easily could have.
There more than a little Monkey-business going on, as Director Osgood Perkins’ latest film, ‘The Monkey’ is certainly not on the level of his ‘Longlegs’, as the film struggles with tonal coherency.
