Salmokji: Whispering Water
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
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.

Bhooth Bangla
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
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.

Busboys
(2026)
|
Carla Hay
|
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.

LIK: Love Insurance Kompany

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.

Dacoit: A Love Story

Carla Hay

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.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy

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.

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.

Mother Mary
(2026)

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.

Legends of the Lost Ark
(2026)

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.

You're Dating a Narcissist!
(2025)

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.
