Salmokji: Whispering Water (2026) EDIT “Salmojki: Whispering Water uses some typical jump scares in this horror movie about a ghost that haunts a reservoir. However, the movie has good acting performances and gripping suspense in this story about a road-view crew trying to solve the mystery.” – Culture Mix Apr 18, 2026 Full Review Bhooth Bangla (2026) EDIT “Bhooth Bangla lacks imagination in recycling the same old tired horror comedy concept of a bachelor stuck in a haunted mansion, as family secrets are revealed. The movie's slapstick scenarios are mindless and cliché, while the acting is uninspired.” – Culture Mix Apr 18, 2026 Full Review Busboys (2026) EDIT “The only thing more dimwitted than the two loser protagonists in Busboys is this entire cinematic trash dump that's trying to pass as a comedy film. The jokes are as limp and shabby as the awful mullet wig that David Spade wears in this dull movie.” – Culture Mix Apr 18, 2026 Full Review LIK: Love Insurance Kompany (2025) EDIT “Love Insurance Kompany is a terribly mishandled comedy/drama about the negative effects of artificial intelligence choosing love partners for people. This predictable long-winded movie fails in every way possible.” – Culture Mix Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Dacoit: A Love Story (2026) 25% EDIT “A potentially compelling story about an unlikely duo of robbers and a revenge scheme for wrongful imprisonment turns into increasingly preposterous action scenes that nearly ruin the movie. A sentimental conclusion cannot redeem this garbage.” – Culture Mix Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 45% EDIT “This idiotic horror movie, which is obsessed with vomit, tries to be unique by having a teenage girl as the main villain mummy, but it copies too many ideas from The Exorcist and Evil Dead movies.” – Culture Mix Apr 16, 2026 Full Review #Skyking (2026) EDIT “The documentary #SkyKing gives empathetic perspectives of Richard 'Beebo' Russell and his mental health crisis that led to him stealing a Horizon Air plane (with no passengers on board) in 2018. Most of the people interviewed are his loved ones.” – Culture Mix Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% EDIT “This pretentious and dull drama intends to make a big statement about the connected souls of a pop star and a fashion designer. It’s more like a stylish but overly talkative therapy session influenced by fashion shows, music videos, and horror movies.” – Culture Mix Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Legends of the Lost Ark (2026) EDIT “More entertaining than educational, this well-edited documentary film doesn't offer any definitive new discoveries when presenting theories about where the biblical Ark of the Covenant could be buried. However, the movie is cohesive and detailed.” – Culture Mix Apr 13, 2026 Full Review You're Dating a Narcissist! (2025) 55% EDIT “You're Dating a Narcissist! is a misguided and irritating comedy about a neurotic mother who meddles in the love life of her 22-year-old daughter. This inept and tiresome movie tries to be cute and clever with plot twists that look utterly phony.” – Culture Mix Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Hunting Matthew Nichols (2024) 94% EDIT “Hunting Matthew Nichols doesn't do anything groundbreaking in the ‘found footage’ horror genre. However, it's a solidly suspenseful movie about a woman making a documentary about searching for her missing brother.” – Culture Mix Apr 12, 2026 Full Review Beast (2026) 85% EDIT “Beast is slightly better than the average movie about fighters in mixed martial arts. This sports drama's ending is predictable, but other parts of the movie are not so formulaic.” – Culture Mix Apr 11, 2026 Full Review Newborn (2026) EDIT “Newborn starts as a potentially riveting portrayal of how a wrongfully convicted man adjusts to life after he has been released from prison. This disappointing drama turns into a repetitive mush of hallucinations and ignores the rehabilitation process.” – Culture Mix Apr 11, 2026 Full Review For Worse (2025) 77% EDIT “The romantic comedy For Worse often looks like skits strung together in a loosely conceived plot. However, writer/director/star Amy Landecker brings a lot of appeal and emotional authenticity to this movie about a divorced mother who starts dating again.” – Culture Mix Apr 10, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% EDIT “Cloying and superficial, it’s like an outdated 2000s rom com, but with mid-2020s technology. It’s filled with mindless dialogue, stupid scenarios, and embarrassing ethnic stereotypes. Great scenery does not make a good movie.” – Culture Mix Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% EDIT “This slasher flick begins with an interesting meta horror concept about a serial killer recreating scenes from the 1978 fake snuff movie Faces of Death. But the 2026 version of Faces of Death devolves into idiotic junk with some terrible acting.” – Culture Mix Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% EDIT “The Christophers is a deliciously witty psychological thriller and dark comedy about greed and creative value in the London art scene. Some parts of the movie are easy to predict, while others parts have clever surprises.” – Culture Mix Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 73% EDIT “Forbidden Fruits is a horror comedy that strains to be funny and doesn't deliver anything scary until the last 15 minutes. It's a sluggishly paced, meandering movie about a coven of emotionally immature witches who work at a Dallas clothing store.” – Culture Mix Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 92% EDIT “Exit 8 is a faithful adaptation of the video game, but the movie requires patience and curiosity to see how it ends because the scenes can get repetitive. It's an artistically made story about a man trapped in a subway station with some mysterious people.” – Culture Mix Apr 6, 2026 Full Review David (2025) 79% EDIT “The faith-based animated film David is a re-imagining of an ancient religious tale as much as it is a war story that is presented in a family-friendly movie. The visuals and voice performances are above-average in this movie crammed with conflicts.” – Culture Mix Apr 5, 2026 Full Review Biker (2026) EDIT “Too predictable to be completely enjoyable, Biker is a convoluted sports drama/action flick that drags with dull personalities, unimpressive acting, and an overstuffed plot about a father and a son who are former motocross racers seeking redemption.” – Culture Mix Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 77% EDIT “Tow sometimes gets caught up in a sitcom tone that lowers the quality of this comedy/drama that's based on a true story. However, Rose Byrne shines in the role of a woman fighting to get back her towed car that was her residence.” – Culture Mix Apr 4, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% EDIT “The Drama presents a darkly comedic look at a couple affected by a shocking and scandalous confession made just days before the couple's wedding. This intriguing movie is an effective satire of oversharing and keeping secrets.” – Culture Mix Apr 3, 2026 Full Review The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson (2026) EDIT “This true crime documentary effectively balances journalistic reporting of the murder of cyclist Moriah Wilson with a compassionate story of who she was and the genuinely positive impact she had on others.” – Culture Mix Apr 2, 2026 Full Review A Great Awakening (2026) 71% EDIT “An awkward biographical mashup of Benjamin Franklin and evangelical preacher George Whitefield. This uneven drama pushes an agenda that the U.S. government should have a Christian bias, which contradicts U.S. Constitutional rights.” – Culture Mix Apr 2, 2026 Full Review
