War Machine, streaming now on Netflix, is a fun watch that you probably won’t ever think about after watching.
If you’ve been following my reviews, you know I’m a sucker for excellent animated movies, and Hoppers is another must-see.
How to Make a Killing likely won’t make a killing at the box office, but still worth checking out once it’s eventually streaming.
Goat has that same style as Spider-Verse and KPop Demon Hunters, giving us a vibrant (though familiar) world to explore.
Crime 101 had a lot of potential, undercut by poor casting and slow pacing. Still some redeeming qualities if you just want to see something in the theaters this weekend.
This movie has gotten very little buzz but if you’re interested in a romantic comedy that is both hilarious and heartwarming, this is it. Absolutely recommend.
The Wrecking Crew is a solid pick if you want some action and some laughs and happen to have Prime Video already.
As a Jason Statham movie, Shelter fails to meet expectations
Mercy is a decent time, I don’t think it’s the disaster that other critics are saying. Temper your expectations and maybe you’ll be surprised.
His & Hers is a short binge and a great choice for anyone looking for a wild mystery with a resolution that might be hard to believe.
Will Arnett gets a chance to shine here, in a surprisingly optimistic story about unhappiness and separation.
The Copenhagen Test is a unique, though complicated, story. If you can really focus on the first two episodes that set things in motion, you’ll be rewarded in the end.
Greenland 2: Migration is a sequel that I didn’t expect to get, but it’s surprisingly great?
Anaconda won’t win any awards but it’s a fun time and a creative way to reboot the franchise.
Pluribus is a fascinating show and a great first season. Perfect? No. It can be a slow burn and our lead is sometimes hard to watch, but I think the larger mystery and suspense makes the journey worthwhile.
The new Avatar: Fire and Ash is a great time at the movies, but focus more on the outstanding spectacle, as opposed to thinking about the repetitive story beats, weak dialogue, or missed opportunities with the cool new Na’vi tribe.
Hamnet is one of those movies that you only need to see once but it’s brilliant. It’s showing on very limited screens so if you’re interested in this, might be a trip for you.
Wake Up Dead Man is another amazing Knives Out mystery. You don’t need to see the others, so if you’re in the mood for a murder mystery and have Netflix, give this one a shot!
As I prepare this year’s “best of” list, here are 2024’s top ten. How many have you seen?
The Last Frontier started as an excellent first episode that slowly devolved into a rare AppleTV misfire.
Since I’ve been making top 10 lists, these are my number one picks from each year. What will top the list for 2025?
Eternity is a really interesting concept, pulled together in (almost) all the right ways.
Zootopia 2 doesn’t do anything especially revolutionary but it’s a solid time at the movies regardless. And stay through the credits for a hint of what’s to come in the third film.
All Her Fault is a great choice if you’re looking for a new quick binge and some solid mysteries.
Rental Family is one of the year’s best films, once again proving that Brendan Fraser is one of a kind.
Wicked: For Good is a necessary watch if you want closure, but go in knowing that the best is behind you.
Playdate is fine but I can’t recommend it over the many outstanding shows and movies you could be watching this weekend.
The Running Man is a high-octane adventure based on a scarily realistic potential future, anchored by a fun performance from Glen Powell. Recommended if you’re looking for something loud and fun on the big screen.
Frankenstein was a mixed bag. I think in a different movie, Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi would’ve really succeeded, but I think this movie’s inconsistent tone caused some unnecessary whiplash.
Predator: Badlands is a great outing, bringing a new energy and perspective to the franchise.
