In the pursuit of power and acceptance, the spoils are granted to the lovers. Predator boasts decades of rich lore, but Badlands finds its heartbeat in the story through character dynamics and growth.Posted Nov 12, 2025

A fun entry that doesn’t take itself too seriously. What we get is heart, charm, and a Predator you actually want to root for. A bold take on the franchise and it doesn’t miss.Posted Nov 12, 2025

The choice of stop-motion animation pairs well with the intrigue, playfulness and straight-up drama of the world of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads.Posted Oct 10, 2025

Stop-motion, quirky, and delightfully surreal, this show ticks all the right boxes. It takes a moment to find its stride, but once it does, it’s as weirdly wonderful as its cuys.Posted Oct 10, 2025

Paul Thomas Anderson leans heavy on the elasticity of the fictional setting, and never really commits to the rights of the very groups fighting for the innocuous diluted 'revolution'. A lot to offer visually but not enough to avert from the real world.Posted Oct 10, 2025

Entertaining and sure to get people talking, One Battle After Another shines. Peel back the veneer, though, and you find underdeveloped Black characters meant to be at the heart of the revolution, yet we see so little of their story or motivation.Posted Oct 10, 2025

Messaging and themes were frustratingly left unexplored. However, when observed through the lens of Wayan’s White, an athlete where any peak is never enough and resents the inevitable succession of his career, even the surrealism feels grounded.Posted Oct 10, 2025

Visually sharp and anchored by solid performances, HIM aims high but never quite sticks the landing. Beautiful to look at but hollow at its core, making it feel more like a mood piece.Posted Oct 10, 2025

Sorry, Baby plays more in the processing of real life as opposed to a narrative film that has the space for reflection. There is an earnestness from Eva Victor that is comforting and requires vulnerability from the audience too.Posted Oct 10, 2025

The Paper is aware and plays well in the climate for comedy in the 2020s that’s rooted in acknowledging conflicting realities, pairing well with its journalistic setting.Posted Sep 24, 2025

Punching above its weight, The Paper delivers characters that are both funny and lovable. A light, bingeable mockumentary full of chuckles, charm, and newsroom hijinks.Posted Sep 24, 2025

Played too straight to be satire and not succinct enough to be a critique, Creggers relies on his signature aesthetics for Weapons.Posted Sep 24, 2025

Polished and well-made, Weapons hooks you early with its concept and characters. But too many shifting perspectives dilute the story, leading to a final act that feels disillusioning. Still, expect it to be all the rage.Posted Sep 24, 2025

Whether through age of cast compared to the age intended for the characters or fiction that leaned more towards real life, the overall messaging and tone felt uneven at times.Posted Sep 24, 2025

While it drags in places, The Long Walk is hard to shake as it lingers after the credits roll. David Johnson is endearing, yet without more on why the Walk exists, or why it’s so readily accepted, the weight doesn’t fully land.Posted Sep 24, 2025

From Young Rock and now The Smashing Machine, Johnson’s desire to dig deep is met with a reluctance to be vulnerable. Paired with signature head-inducing Safdie storytelling, we never quite feel like we are being told the whole story, just the glory.Posted Sep 24, 2025

An emotional, Oscar-bound journey with incredible turns from Johnson and Blunt. Yet by softening the rage behind Kerr, it risks feeling too polished, raising questions about how much truth we’re really shown.Posted Sep 24, 2025
