[Solid Rock Fist Up] Lord and Miller strike again. Project Hail Mary is one of those “that movie”-type movies. It’s smart, funny, surprisingly emotional, and built around the radical idea that science itself can be cinematic. Director Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (the Spider-Verse movies, the Jump Street movies) take Andy Weir’s dense, problem-solving novel […]

[Rating: Minor Rock Fist Down] This one stings. 2025 has been a pretty great year for horror. Unfortunately, this one fails to meet even the expectations set by the first flick. But that’s the way it goes, right? Some sequels know exactly what made the first movie work and get right to it. Then there […]

[Rating: Minor Rock Fist Down] Does anyone really even understand this property anymore? I’m pretty sure Disney does not. I thought I did, but maybe I don’t. Either way, someone needs to sit down and figure out the “rules” of Tron, because I’m pretty sure somewhere inside Tron: Ares is the potential for a mind-bending […]

[Rating: Solid Rock Fist Up] Sometimes the best “based on a true story”-type movies sound like they were dreamed up by a drunk screenwriter hoping he’s the only one with access to the internet. Roofman is one of those movies. It’s a movie that seems just too silly and stupid to have actually happened. Watch […]

[Minor Rock Fist Down] “The Rock” wants you to know he can act. The problem? All that effort can’t hide the fact that his movie is predictable, inert, and never makes a convincing case for why Kerr’s story deserves two hours of your time. Unfortunately, every once in a while, a sports biopic comes along […]

‘Nobody 2’ delivers lean, brutal action with Odenkirk’s grit, Stone’s wild villainy, and wasting no time with a 90 minute run time. Thanks Nobody.

‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ does just enough to keep the brand alive but can’t quite escape the fossilized footprints of Spielberg’s original masterpiece.

‘F1: The Movie’ guns the engine where it counts. Most won’t notice how goofy it is because…it’s fun as hell to watch.

Director Dean DeBlois has delivered what might be the best live-action remake yet, proving that a strong story doesn’t need to be reinvented. The film features a committed cast, including a physical Gerard Butler as Stoick, and stunning visuals that bring the world of Hiccup and Toothless to life.

[Minor Rock Fist Up] From the title, it’s obvious this franchises can’t let go of the boogeyman. Len Wiseman’s Ballerina spins a mostly unnecessary groove into that tight narrative alley between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, and it does so with all the subtlety of a grenade launcher. The film plants […]

‘Novocaine’ is fast and at times funny, thanks to a solid performance from Jack Quaid, but it struggles to stay interesting beyond the movie’s gimmick.

Matthew Vaughn shoots for the moon in ‘Argylle,’ one of the oddest, dumbest, absurdly entertaining yet predictable movies of the year—so far, I guess.

[Rating: Solid Rock Fist Up] Only in Theatres. It’s slightly crazy they’ve made something like 6 or 7 (who’s counting??) Transformers movies, at least 3 G.I. Joe movies, including that awful Snake Eyes spin-off a few years ago. I know — all of those movies are awful — also there is a Monster High movie. […]

‘Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One’ is a non-stop thrill ride with unbelievable action pieces that work overtime to make it the best action movie of the year.

Despite ridiculous plot motivations by the film’s antagonist, ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ is a fun, predictable thrill ride into nostalgia.
