Normal (2025) 76% 2.5/5 EDIT “... more balance (is needed) between humor and action, stronger character development, and a film that trusted in its characters as much as its body count.” – Should I See It Apr 19, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Overall, this is a clever, immersive, cinematic "escape room" viewing experience. Fans of the game will likely love this.” – Should I See It Apr 12, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Silly, ridiculous, yet undeniably charming and a crowd-pleaser.” – Should I See It Apr 12, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 2/5 EDIT “... the film becomes so illogical and frustrating that you start to regret spending any time at all with this brand, concept, or franchise.” – Should I See It Apr 12, 2026 Full Review Hunting Matthew Nichols (2024) 94% 3/5 EDIT “... an ambitious effort - blending found-footage horror with a true crime documentary style, only to then try to scare the pants off of you.” – Should I See It Apr 12, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% 2.5/5 EDIT “By the end, this pivots from an examination of human relationships to more of an experiment in audience reaction. Overall the film feels disingenuous.” – Should I See It Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Even in its most outlandish sequences, there is an authenticity that makes this consistently engaging.” – Should I See It Mar 22, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 73% 2.5/5 EDIT “When you step back and analyze the events of undertone, the story feels oddly adrift and lacking in real depth.” – Should I See It Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “There’s a lot to like here and Hoppers is a wonderful film.” – Should I See It Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “A thoughtful examination of resilience, even if it generally plays things safely.” – Should I See It Mar 1, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% 3/5 EDIT “... a thoughtful, restrained take on the zombie film genre.” – Should I See It Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “With an audience, Primate was fun. The person behind me kept kicking my seat out of nervousness, anxiousness, and not being able to sit still. I didn’t mind.” – Should I See It Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Few actors could maintain consistency in a film like this, but Chalamet makes this high-wire act look effortless” – Should I See It Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “Whatever the future holds for this franchise, it is clear we have clearly reached the point where Avatar is struggling to justify its relevance. ” – Should I See It Dec 21, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Chu may have proven those skeptics right after all, as he delivers a (sequel) that never truly justifies its own existence.” – Should I See It Nov 24, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Rose Byrne gives a career-best performance - raw, unpredictable, and impossible to turn away from.” – Should I See It Oct 26, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Ethan Hawke gives a career-defining performance as Lorenz Hart.” – Should I See It Oct 26, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 71% 2.5/5 EDIT “I have seldom watched a movie as afraid of its own shadow as this movie is.” – Should I See It Oct 6, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “One Battle After Another feels like something of an assessment and performance review of America in its present state. Unruly and unforgettable, this is one of 2025’s defining films.” – Should I See It Sep 28, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 31% 1.5/5 EDIT “HIM ain’t it; one of the year’s most exhausting and frustrating moviegoing experiences.” – Should I See It Sep 21, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “As a casual fan of Downton Abbey, and someone who has seen all three films and worked my way through the series a few years back, I found plenty to enjoy. ” – Should I See It Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Far from Aronofsky’s best work, Caught Stealing finds the director telling stories with confidence and a bit of a swagger again” – Should I See It Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Eden (2024) 58% 2.5/5 EDIT “Eden is a curious visit, but the stay becomes interminable.” – Should I See It Aug 23, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Are we in a Lohanaissance? Time will tell. but Freakier Friday is fine enough for me.” – Should I See It Aug 9, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “The animation style is full of action, bold colors, and seldom sits still.” – Should I See It Aug 3, 2025 Full Review
