Hoppers

★★★★☆

105 min | PG | March 6, 2026 | Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

March 13, 2026

Reminders of Him

★★★☆☆

114 min | PG-13 | March 13, 2026 | Universal Pictures

Colleen Hoover’s best adaptation is still just a Colleen Hoover adaptation.

March 6, 2026

Scream 7

★★★☆☆

114 min | R | February 27, 2026 | Paramount Pictures

Kevin Williamson returns to the director’s chair and proves the franchise still has a pulse. Not exactly fun, but it hits all the right notes.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

★★★★☆

134 min | R | February 13, 2026 | Briarcliff Entertainment

February 22, 2026

How to Make a Killing

★★★☆☆

105 min | R | February 20, 2026 | A24

A family thriller that doesn’t moralize about its villains. Smarter than it looks.

February 16, 2026

Solo Mio

★★☆☆☆

100 min | PG | February 6, 2026 | Angel Studios

Kevin James does something unexpected. The movie buries it under everything else.

February 15, 2026

Wuthering Heights

★★★★☆

135 min | R | February 13, 2026 | Warner Bros. Pictures

Emerald Fennell adapts Emily Brontë with raw carnality and visual opulence. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi destroy each other across the Yorkshire moors. This is not your grandmother’s period drama.

Crime 101

★★★★☆

140 min | R | February 13, 2026 | Amazon MGM Studios

Bart Layton adapts Don Winslow’s novella into a Los Angeles crime thriller that feels like it was made in 1995. Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry anchor a film about desperate people making irreversible choices.

February 10, 2026

Shelter

★★★☆☆

107 min | R | January 30, 2026 | Black Bear Pictures

Statham does what Statham does best. Kills people beautifully in beautiful places. The kid nearly steals the whole thing.

February 5, 2026

Send Help

★★★☆☆

113 min | R | January 30, 2026 | 20th Century Studios

Raimi’s survival horror has committed performances and inventive gore, but the plotting is a mess. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien carry the film despite narrative confusion.

February 4, 2026

Melania

★☆☆☆☆

104 min | PG | January 30, 2026 | Amazon MGM Studios

A vanity project that mistakes access for insight. The most revealing thing about it is that no one in Trump’s orbit had the courage to say this was a bad idea.

February 2, 2026

Anaconda

★★★☆☆

100 min | PG-13 | December 25, 2025 | Directed by Tom Gormican

TLDR: Jack Black and Paul Rudd remake their favorite childhood movie in the rainforest and stumble into genuine heart. The slapstick lands, the sentiment earns it, and the whole thing works way better than it should.

February 1, 2026

Hamnet

★★★★☆

126 min | PG-13 | November 26, 2025 | Focus Features

A grief story that earns every tear without manipulating you into them. The rare prestige period piece that trusts its audience.

January 26, 2026

Mercy

★★★☆☆

100 min | PG-13 | January 19, 2026 | Amazon MGM Studios

Minority Report meets Judge Dredd meets GenZ phone addiction. Interesting premise undermined by a telegraphed twist and too many cop movie tropes.

January 24, 2026

Greenland: Migration

★★☆☆☆

98 min | PG-13 | January 9, 2026 | STX Entertainment

Big plot holes, small investment, performances that are unearned and characters barely worth knowing. But a few good shots and interesting plot devices make this “something.”

January 17, 2026

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

★★☆☆☆

109 min | R | January 16, 2026 | Sony Pictures

Watched most of this through the cracks in my fingers. Strong world-building for the “28 Years” universe, but a gaping plot hole sinks whatever story they were trying to tell. Bonus points for releasing close enough to the first film that I didn’t need a refresher.

January 16, 2026

Dead Man's Wire

★★★☆☆

105 min | R | December 12, 2025 | Rowk Presents

Hip and fast-moving melodrama that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Lots of nice visual touches, and a really strong performance from Colman Domingo as the DJ. Glows up the based-on-true-life characters as Dread Pirate Cary Elwes and It-clown Bill Skarsgard. Not exactly airy but still light enough to not take too seriously.

January 11, 2026

Song Sung Blue

★★★★☆

132 min | PG-13 | December 25, 2025 | Focus Features

A Neil Diamond tribute act sounds like a punchline, but Jackman and Hudson sell the hell out of it. Surprisingly tender family drama underneath the sequins and chest hair. Craig Brewer knows exactly how much schmaltz he can get away with.

Is This Thing On?

★★★★☆

121 min | R | December 19, 2025 | Searchlight Pictures

Will Arnett doing halting crowd work and mid-life crisis comedy? I’m there. Charming and real, with Laura Dern delivering a powerhouse turn as the wife balancing pride in parenthood against the quiet grief of setting aside who you used to be. Never saccharine, even when you see the beats coming.

December 28, 2025

Marty Supreme

★★★☆☆

150 min | R | December 19, 2025 | A24

Timothee Chalamet commits fully to a ping pong obsessive, but the pacing and tonal whiplash keep this from greatness. Strong supporting turns from Kevin O’Leary, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Odessa A’zion can’t quite save the slapstick detours.

December 21, 2025

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants

★★★★☆

96 min | PG | December 19, 2025 | Paramount Pictures

Derek Drymon sends SpongeBob into the deep sea searching for his missing parents. The animation is gorgeous. The emotional stakes are real. This is SpongeBob at his best.

December 20, 2025

Avatar: Fire and Ash

★★★★☆

198 min | PG-13 | December 19, 2025 | 20th Century Studios

Cameron delivers again. Three hours of visual spectacle from an obsessive perfectionist. Still can’t explain why nobody talks about these movies a month later.

December 18, 2025

The Housemaid

★★★★☆

131 min | R | December 19, 2025 | Lionsgate

A domestic thriller that actually earns its twist. Amanda Seyfried is the reason to show up.

December 9, 2025

The Running Man

★★★☆☆

133 min | R | November 14, 2025 | Paramount Pictures

Edgar Wright’s Stephen King adaptation has style to spare but asks too much of your suspension of disbelief.

December 7, 2025

Rental Family

★★★★★

110 min | PG-13 | November 21, 2025 | Searchlight Pictures

Brendan Fraser as a too-big-for-Japan American finding himself through pretend families. My favorite movie of the year.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

★☆☆☆☆

104 min | PG-13 | December 5, 2025 | Universal Pictures

Emma Tammi returns to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza with a sequel that drowns in convoluted mythology and forgotten character. The animatronics look great. Everything else is a mess.

December 3, 2025

The Secret Agent

★★★★☆

161 min | R | November 26, 2025 | Neon

Brazil’s military dictatorship gets the thriller treatment it deserves. The parallels to the present are not subtle. They don’t need to be.

November 28, 2025

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

★★★★★

145 min | PG-13 | November 26, 2025 | Netflix

Rian Johnson sends Benoit Blanc into a religious community to solve an impossible murder. Daniel Craig leads an ensemble that includes Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, and Josh Brolin. This is mystery filmmaking at its finest.

Eternity

★★★★☆

114 min | PG-13 | November 26, 2025 | Focus Features

David Freyne asks who you choose when you die and meet everyone you ever loved in the afterlife. Elizabeth Olsen anchors a romantic comedy about impossible choices.

Zootopia 2

★★★★☆

108 min | PG | November 26, 2025 | Walt Disney Pictures

Jared Bush and Byron Howard send Judy and Nick undercover into new corners of Zootopia. The animation is stunning. The mystery is sharp. Disney Animation remembers what made the original special.

November 14, 2025

Train Dreams

★★★★☆

102 min | PG-13 | November 7, 2025 | Netflix

Denis Johnson’s novella gets the adaptation it deserves. Edgerton finally gets the role he deserves. Everybody wins.

Sentimental Value

★★★☆☆

133 min | R | November 7, 2025 | Neon

Tender family drama with strong performances that never finds the gear it keeps reaching for. Cannes loved it. I liked it fine.

November 10, 2025

Die My Love

★★☆☆☆

119 min | R | November 7, 2025 | Neon

Jennifer Lawrence descends into postpartum madness in rural Montana. The performances work but the jagged edges make it a tough sit.

November 9, 2025

Predator: Badlands

★★★★☆

107 min | PG-13 | November 7, 2025 | 20th Century Studios

Dan Trachtenberg makes a Predator film from the Predator’s perspective. Elle Fanning plays a synthetic ally to an exiled Yautja. This is the boldest swing the franchise has taken.

Nuremberg

★★★★☆

148 min | PG-13 | November 7, 2025 | Sony Pictures Classics

James Vanderbilt dramatizes the psychological battle between U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley and Nazi war criminal Hermann Göring. Rami Malek and Russell Crowe circle each other with intelligence and menace.

November 7, 2025

Anniversary

★★☆☆☆

111 min | R | October 29, 2025 | Lionsgate

A political thriller that forgot to include either politics or thrills. Strong cast wasted on a story that refuses to commit.

October 26, 2025

Bugonia

★★★★☆

119 min | R | October 24, 2025 | Focus Features

Lanthimos and Stone do their weird thing again. It works. Oscar bait, sure, but the kind that actually earns it.

October 24, 2025

Frankenstein

★★★★☆

132 min | PG-13 | October 17, 2025 | Netflix

Del Toro finally makes his Frankenstein and it’s gorgeous. Too bad most people will watch it on a phone.

October 19, 2025

Black Phone 2

★★★★☆

114 min | R | October 17, 2025 | Universal Pictures

Scott Derrickson returns to the Black Phone mythology with a sequel that expands the horror intelligently. Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw anchor a film about trauma that lingers.

Good Fortune

★★★★☆

108 min | PG-13 | October 17, 2025 | Netflix

October 12, 2025

TRON: Ares

★★★☆☆

121 min | PG-13 | October 10, 2025 | Walt Disney Pictures

Joachim Rønning sends a program from the Grid into the real world. Jared Leto plays AI made flesh. The visuals are stunning. The story is hollow.

After the Hunt

★★☆☆☆

139 min | R | October 10, 2025 | Searchlight Pictures

Luca Guadagnino makes a campus thriller about accusations and secrets. Julia Roberts anchors a film that gestures at important themes without committing to difficult truths.

October 1, 2025

One Battle After Another

★★★☆☆

162 min | R | September 26, 2025 | Warner Bros.

PTA’s Pynchon adaptation is a tonal mess wrapped in prestige packaging. Great performances buried inside a film that can’t decide if it’s a comedy or an epic.

September 14, 2025

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale

★★★★☆

125 min | PG | September 12, 2025 | Focus Features

Simon Curtis brings the Crawleys into the 1930s for a final chapter about scandal, financial ruin, and the end of an era. Julian Fellowes writes with precision and heart.

The Conjuring: Last Rites

★★★☆☆

112 min | R | September 5, 2025 | Warner Bros. Pictures

August 17, 2025

Nobody 2

★★★★☆

93 min | R | August 15, 2025 | Universal Pictures

Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell on vacation with his family. Violence finds him anyway. Timo Tjahjanto directs with brutal efficiency.

August 12, 2025

F1

★★★☆☆

156 min | PG-13 | June 27, 2025 | Apple Studios

A Brad Pitt racing movie had no business being this watchable. The supporting cast elevates what could have been a vanity project into something with actual depth.
