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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
