  • The Long Walk (9.2/10)

    I think I liked this one more than most people did, but I really loved it. The mix of rising stars with veterans like Mark Hamill and Judy Greer worked perfectly. The story felt unique and intense, and I especially appreciated the themes and sharp dialogue during the walk. The filming and acting were both great! "Teens participate in a grueling high-stakes contest where they must continuously walk or be shot by a member of their military escort."

  • Nobody 2 (6.8/10)

    As expected, the action delivers — intense, well-choreographed, and consistently engaging. However, this sequel struggles to justify its existence beyond the first film. The story feels tired midway through, and the ending becomes predictable far too early. While the action sequences keep it entertaining, the narrative lacks freshness or depth. Ultimately, the original film remains the only one in the series truly worth watching. "Workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell takes his family on a much-needed vacation to the small tourist town of Plummerville. However, he soon finds himself in the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator, a shady sheriff, and a bloodthirsty crime boss."

  • Chaperone (5.7/10)

    This new drama/romance film presents an unusual concept, supported by strong cinematography and competent performances. However, the plot felt underwhelming, and the ending failed to deliver the character development the story seemed to promise. It has 100% critics score on rotten tomatoes which means these critics might be a bit pervy because I felt uncomfortable watching this film. "Misha, a 29-year-old woman alienated by friends and family for her lack of ambition, finds a dangerous acceptance in a bright 18-year-old athlete who mistakes her for a fellow high school student."

  • Doin' It (7.4/10)

    This was a surprisingly solid film. While some of the humor veers a bit too far into the silliness, the overall tone remains light and engaging. It offers a fair share of genuine laughs and is supported by well-paced story. "Moonlighting as a high-school substitute teacher, a 30-year-old virgin gets in over her head when she's assigned to teach sex education."

  • The Lost Bus (8.0/10)

    This is a new thriller starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. McConaughey delivers a stellar performance, and Ferrera feels like the right choice for the lead, though at times her character is written to be a bit too irritating. The story, based on true events during the 2018 wildfires, is intense. The visuals of the fires are impressively done, though the heavy smoke makes the film quite dark visually. I recommend watching it at night to get the full cinematic effect . " A white-knuckle ride through one of America's wildfires as a wayward school bus driver and a dedicated school teacher battle to save 22 children from the inferno."

  • A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (4.9/10)

    This was a huge letdown. I remember seeing so many trailers for this romance/drama starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, and it looked really promising. Visually, the film is awesome, I liked the cinematography and the overall style, but it was just hard to get through. The pacing is painfully slow, and the story never really grabs you. " Through a surprising twist of fate, single strangers Sarah and David get to relive important moments from their respective pasts, illuminating how they got to where they are in the present."

  • Silent Zone (5.2/10)

    This is a new zombie movie on Hulu that was pretty predictable and not revolutionary. The acting was some of the worst I have seen in a while but it was still entertaining. " In a zombie-ravaged world, a resourceful teen, and her protector fight for survival, facing relentless dangers and testing the limits of hope and loyalty."

  • Preparation for Another Life (8.3/10)

    This new drama is intense, slow-moving, and deeply emotional. It tells a story that makes you truly feel for its characters, who deliver powerful and heartfelt performances. The narrative is unique and filled with raw emotion, though it unfolds at a deliberate, slow-burn pace, so if that’s not your style, this might not be the right fit. " A Uyghur woman moves to New York City where she finds herself laboring in Chinatown's underground kitchens. She fatefully encounters Skinner, a young American soldier who's just returned from three tours in the Middle East. As they start to fall in love, they discover the possibility of a better life together than the ones they believed they were destined to live alone."

  • Kneecap (7.6/10)

    Rotten Tomatoes has this at 96% critics and a 95% audience score, so maybe I’m missing something here. I thought it was a good movie and I really liked its message and meaning. I loved the camera work for this indepent film as well. I had a hard time with the accents. I could barely understand a word. Subtitles are a must for this Irish film. " When fate brings a Belfast teacher into the orbit of self-confessed "lowlife scum" Naoise and Liam Óg, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other. Rapping in their native Irish language, they soon lead a movement to save their mother tongue."

  • The Descendants (7.8/10)

    This 2011 George Clooney drama was a solid film overall. The acting was strong, but I found myself wanting a bit more from the story. There was plenty of emotion throughout, yet I felt Clooney didn’t quite capture the depth of it as fully as he could have. Shailene Woodley delivered the standout performance of the movie. " Native islander Matt King (George Clooney) lives with his family in Hawaii. Their world shatters when a tragic accident leaves his wife in a coma. Not only must Matt struggle with the stipulation in his wife's will that she be allowed to die with dignity, but he also faces pressure from relatives to sell their family's enormous land trust. Angry and terrified at the same time, Matt tries to be a good father to his young daughters, as they too try to cope with their mother's possible death."

  • The Knife (6.4/10)

    This mystery-thriller didn’t quite deliver on the “thrill.” Despite being a short film, it felt like a slow burn. The storyline was solid and had potential, but the acting and dialogue fell short, making it hard to stay engaged. The ending offered a bit of a surprise, the kind of twist you hope for in a mystery, but it wasn’t enough to redeem the film or raise its score in my book. "A family's life gets thrown into disarray when they find a mysterious woman in their new home. By the time the police arrive, the intruder is lying unconscious on the floor with a knife in her hand. Questioned by a detective, the couple and their two children try to safeguard one another's secrets. However, the choices they make soon lead to consequences even more graver than they could have imagined."

  • The Naked Gun (2.3/10)

    Liam Neeson’s new film mixes slapstick and deadpan humor, but its overly literal approach to comedy makes many scenes feel awkward rather than funny. The jokes often fall flat, and the tone never quite clicks. I only managed about thirty minutes before calling it quits. " Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr becomes a police officer like his legendary father and must save the police department from shutting down by solving a case."
