2/5
The Wizard of the Kremlin (2025) Robert Kojder While it may seem as if the likes of Paul Dano as Vadim Baranov and Jude Law as Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin would be an oddly distractive misstep, the real issue is just how dull the proceedings are

3/5
Driver's Ed (2025) Robert Kojder A surprisingly sweet flick with an abundance of care for its characters, often to the point that trying to be funny itself feels secondary

2/5
Magic Hour (2025) Robert Kojder The performances aren’t enough to give Magic Hour the depth it strives for in its exploration of loss and moving on. It becomes clear early on that there is little magic here and that this will quickly become tedious

The Punisher: One Last Kill (2026) Ricky Church The Punisher: One Last Kill, which was written by both Bernthal and Green, is a great spotlight on one of the MCU’s most interesting and tragic characters.

4/5
Obsession (2025) Robert Kojder Led by Inde Navarrette, a revelation giving her all to a role that demands nothing less than 150% no-hesitation all-in commitment, Obsession is, usually all at once, revolting, jarring, and disturbingly hilarious, with plenty of surprises and swerves

3.5/5
Is God Is (2026) Robert Kojder Is God Is good. It’s vengeful bloodshed and humor benefit from an insightful story about both sisterhood and finding a voice as an othered individual

4.5/5
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Robert Kojder As wonderful a human being and celebrity as the entirely enveloping performer she aspires and succeeds at being, Billie Eilish still has everyone in the palm of her hand, now redefining concert films with extraordinary dynamism and immersion

2/5
Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) Robert Kojder What does work here is offset by the trappings of a story more concerned with hacky surprise twists than deepening its characters and their relationships

3.5/5
Tuner (2025) Robert Kojder Perfectly fine-tuned, approaching crime from a new angle. As for Daniel Roher, it’s known that he can make an absorbing documentary; now it turns out that narrative features are perhaps one of his hidden talents

Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Matt Rodgers With Billie Eilish possessing such a singular don’t avert your eyes energy, her performance feels perfectly suited to such a straightforward concert movie in which the focus is purely on her and the music.

2.5/5
Mortal Kombat II (2026) Robert Kojder Mortal Kombat II simply can’t shake its boneheaded desperation to be taken seriously as epic, never fully kommitting to the dumb fun that works despite some atrocious visual effects; the kourse-korrection is almost there

3.5/5
Leviticus (2026) Robert Kojder A horror film that is as terrifying as it is romantic, sometimes all within the same scene, or flipping a switch instantly from one to the other

3.5/5
Power Ballad (2026) Robert Kojder There are genuinely subversive qualities in how this story unfolds, where it goes, and where it ultimately ends up, not to mention another winning tone from John Carney at the center

3.5/5
I Want Your Sex (2026) Robert Kojder With daring performances, it’s uproariously funny and effective at challenging the uptight to stop being so sex-shy in modern times

3.5/5
The Invite (2026) Robert Kojder Accept the invitation; this one is a laugh-riot with its outstanding quartet, effortlessly matching one another

3/5
Swapped (2026) Robert Kojder Swapped finds its familiar messaging about the power of unity and living a day in the shoes of someone else elevated by vibrant, meticulously detailed and colorfully striking art design

Mortal Kombat II (2026) EJ Moreno The perfect adaptation of one of the most influential video games ever. This is how you kick off a summer movie season!

5/5
The Quake (2018) Olly Krizan All in all I thoroughly enjoyed and would wholeheartedly recommend this picture. Equal parts art film and blockbuster movie with a pinch of wonderfully nuanced performances and a score to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.

3/5
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Robert Kojder The Devil Wears Prada 2 deserves credit for doing something most legacy sequels struggle with: a modern, timely way in that instantly grabs attention and justifies catching up with these characters

1.5/5
RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) Robert Kojder The dreadful One Spoon of Chocolate is ludicrous in the context of "how did anyone think this was a good idea," crossing the line from Blaxploitation to outright exploitation and stupidity. And that’s when the movie isn’t as dull as dirt

3/5
Deep Water (2026) Robert Kojder It is a welcome reprieve that there are filmmakers putting fear back into a subgenre that has essentially become synonymous with junk
Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Animal Farm (2025) Robert Kojder The shattered bones of Animal Farm are here, but the bite and soul have been cast out for your standard run-of-the-mill, low-brow, juvenile, animated talking animal nonsense

3.5/5
Hokum (2026) Robert Kojder The direction is strikingly confident, propulsively eerie, and certainly makes entertaining use of the numerous ingredients. Hokum is fiendishly fun

3/5
The Sheep Detectives (2026) Robert Kojder A sweet and smart family-friendly film that isn’t stupidly pandering to children, but rather engages them with worthwhile messaging and tools to draw on and apply to more adult-oriented whodunnit books and movies
Posted Apr 29, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Apex (2026) Robert Kojder So much of Apex looks fake, and when something is clearly real (to an extent), it only reinforces how choppy and frustrating large portions of the film are, and how little palpable peril they contain

2.5/5
Fuze (2025) Robert Kojder The potential explodes like a bomb in the face of these filmmakers as they make a mess of this

Mother Mary (2026) Robert Kojder A two-hander about art with excellent performances, David Lowery remains such a gifted filmmaker at translating his ideas and themes into hypnotic visual imagery

3/5
Over Your Dead Body (2026) Robert Kojder The staging of each burst of comedic action is darkly crowd-pleasing, with some pitch-perfect line delivery
Posted Apr 23, 2026  Edit critic review
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) Brad Cook This is a movie full of funny moments and endlessly quotable lines of dialogue that live on as GIFs all over the Internet, but it’s also one with its heart on its sleeve the whole time.
Posted Apr 22, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Michael (2026) Robert Kojder An incomplete film, the aspects of Michael’s life that deserve to be in conversation with one another are apparently being saved for the next chapter. I’m already feeling defeated; Michael is bad, it’s bad!

2/5
Desert Warrior (2025) Robert Kojder With aspirations of being a historical epic harkening back to blockbusters of yesteryear, Rupert Wyatt’s seventeenth-century Arabia tale is about as generic and epically dull as one would expect from a film plainly titled Desert Warrior

Roommates (2026) Will Hume Competent, controlled, and confined.

1/5
Balls Up (2026) Will Hume Balls Up is exactly the kind of workable Hollywood premise that back in the day would be reserved for D-List actors like Pauly Shore or one of Adam Sandler’s buddies.

Lorne (2026) Robert Kojder It’s another documentary from Morgan Neville that finds a clever way into studying the subject befitting of who they are and what they are known for
Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Robert Kojder It’s overlong and overly ambitious, but when the filmmaker is doing what he is best at, which is impersonating Sam Raimi, no easy feat to begin with, it’s a cruel delight

4/5
Blue Heron (2025) Robert Kojder With two distinct halves for past and present, Blue Heron is a truly original work that takes the exploration of a condition and a child’s initial experiences around it into something profound regarding memory, time, sibling bonds, and systemic failings

3/5
Mile End Kicks (2025) Robert Kojder A coming-of-age story told through the scene of aspiring indie rock music journalism, writer/director Chandler Levack’s Mile End Kicks confidently rolls with inside baseball storytelling without alienating outsiders

3.5/5
Wasteman (2025) Robert Kojder This is fiction with a dash of documentary, each with bracing importance. It’s enough to ensure the film doesn’t go to waste for its minor shortcomings

2.5/5
Normal (2025) Robert Kojder There are countless abnormal ideas thrown at the wall in Normal; few of them stick, hurting the momentum, urgency, and excitement of the action beats in the process

2/5
Erupcja (2025) Robert Kojder There are no sparks in this romance, let alone an eruption, a metaphor too obvious and simplistic to maintain investment, even at the scant 71-minute run time here

4/5
Departures (2025) Robert W. Monk With genuine emotion, authentic break-ups, and fantastic fun, this is a film that will likely be treasured by both the gay community and beyond.

Thrash (2026) Robert Kojder Thrash is barely 80 minutes of confident absurdity

You, Me & Tuscany (2026) Robert Kojder Tuscany is the only worthwhile character here

2/5
Outcome (2026) Robert Kojder Everything in Outcome either feels a bit too forced, misguided, uneven in tone, flailing humor, or narratively lost, wasting the meta aspects until one no longer cares about the outcome

2.5/5
Hamlet (2025) Robert Kojder The filmmakers themselves are somewhere between a straight remake and a re-imagination, having apparently not asked themselves what to be or not to be

3.5/5
Exit 8 (2025) Robert Kojder Exit 8 successfully immerses the viewer in a gameplay loop through a film, while capitalizing on its guilt-driven premise for some unsettling psychological freak-outs

3.5/5
The Christophers (2025) Robert Kojder The performances, alongside what the film has to say about art and what it wants to leave viewers thinking about, make that circular storytelling and this minor Steven Soderbergh effort worthwhile
Posted Apr 08, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Faces of Death (2026) Robert Kojder Smartly, the serial killer film isn’t using that meta-textual aspect solely to earn some points with fans, but more so as a plot device and vessel to explore the current state of Internet horrors and psychological effects of its consumption
Posted Apr 07, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Drama (2026) Robert Kojder This absorbing, darkly funny film seems to exist to challenge the limits of empathy. It makes for multi-layered characters and drama worth revisiting

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) EJ Moreno Like the MCU in its heyday, the Super Mario sequel nails its world building and lore expansion. It’s over-the-top, fun, and so very Nintendo!
