Hoppers (2026) 97% EDIT “Hoppers has all the makings of a classic Pixar franchise. Somehow, this fantastic movie doesn't get cluttered with its themes about human-animal body swapping, environmental activism, and emotional connections with nature.” – Culture Mix Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Vishnu Vinyasam (2026) EDIT “The romantic comedy Vishnu Vinyasam is a lot sillier than it needs to be. It's a bungled and mindless story about man who falls in love with a woman whose suitors have unfortunate fates. The movie's horoscope angle is mishandled.” – Culture Mix Mar 1, 2026 Full Review Dreams (2025) 53% EDIT “Flawed but very compelling, Dreams subverts expectations on stories about two obsessive lovers who come from very different worlds. People who want this drama to be an underdog romance or a Fatal Attraction-type movie will be disappointed. ” – Culture Mix Mar 1, 2026 Full Review Bambukat 2 (2026) EDIT “A sloppily made comedy sequel with awkward acting and horrendous dialogue. It repeats 2016's Bambukat story about social class wars reduced to a motor vehicle showdown. ” – Culture Mix Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Hey Bhagawan (2026) EDIT “An incredibly tone-deaf comedy/drama that tries to make a pimp look like a hero. It's also a very cowardly film that is afraid to use the word 'brothel,' even though that's the type of business at the center of this odious and badly acted movie.” – Culture Mix Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% EDIT “With Scream 7, this franchise invites ridicule, but in a way where people are more likely to groan than laugh. The welcome return of the Sidney Prescott character is surrounded by a bunch of recycled ideas and plot holes.” – Culture Mix Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 54% EDIT “The truly awful Night Patrol is as horribly racist as the racism it's trying to lampoon, in this wretched story about gang members versus white supremacist cops. The movie is filled with atrocious dialogue and a weak plot with more gore than scares.” – Culture Mix Feb 25, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% EDIT “H Is for Hawk features commendable performances, but this drama about a grieving woman and her pet goshawk might be too slow-paced for some viewers. It's still a good story about how animals and people can help each other through tough times. ” – Culture Mix Feb 24, 2026 Full Review 2DIE4 (2026) EDIT “Dull and very superficial, the documentary 2Die4 comes across as a semi-scripted infomercial for Formula 1 racer Felipe Nasr during his experience competing in 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025. Nasr gives robotic narration from a very cliché-ridden script.” – Culture Mix Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% EDIT “This sci-fi action comedy has some impressive creativity in its story about a time traveler who recruits people to stop an A.I. apocalypse. This overstuffed movie falls short of greatness when it gets too preachy about technology addiction.” – Culture Mix Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Scare Out (2026) EDIT “Scare Out uses a lot of familiar plot developments in this thriller about a government security agency experiencing an internal investigation to expose a traitor. The engaging acting performances outweigh the movie's flaws.” – Culture Mix Feb 21, 2026 Full Review Midwinter Break (2026) 55% EDIT “Midwinter Break should be titled Midwinter Boredom. The admirably talented Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds are stuck in this lethargic drama about a married U.K. couple confronting their relationship problems during a trip to Amsterdam. ” – Culture Mix Feb 21, 2026 Full Review Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) 100% EDIT “Man on the Run is a comprehensive but not groundbreaking documentary about Paul McCartney's life and career from 1970 to 1981. Knowledgeable fans of McCartney won't learn anything new, but the movie is a crowd-pleasing delight.” – Culture Mix Feb 21, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 46% EDIT “How to Make a Killing starts with a shaky concept and then crumbles under the weight of its own foolishness. This unimpressive comedy/drama (about a disowned man who murders his relatives for a $28 billion inheritance) never looks believable.” – Culture Mix Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 12% EDIT “The moronic slasher flick Psycho Killer is a cinematic trash dump of plot holes and huge unanswered questions, in this unimaginative story about a highway patrol officer hunting down the serial killer who murdered her husband.” – Culture Mix Feb 20, 2026 Full Review The Mortuary Assistant (2026) 40% EDIT “The Mortuary Assistant is a horror flick that's dead on arrival. It's an incoherent and extremely repetitive story about a mortuary employee who tries to get rid of her demon possession by transferring the demon to dead bodies. ” – Culture Mix Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Funky (2026) EDIT “The comedy flop Funky fails to be funny with its lackluster story about a male director and a female producer working together on the same film. The jokes are tedious, the film editing is erratic, and the performances are annoying.” – Culture Mix Feb 19, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 96% EDIT “A vibrant compilation of Elvis Presley concert performances and off-stage footage. This tribute-styled documentary exemplifies how Presley's personal problems and endless parodies couldn’t overshadow his indisputable talent.” – Culture Mix Feb 19, 2026 Full Review The Observance (2026) EDIT “The Observance is a terribly made horror movie about a woman fighting to save her brainwashed husband and teenage daughter from a cult of serial killers. All the bad acting is ghastlier than the movie's weak scares. ” – Culture Mix Feb 17, 2026 Full Review O' Romeo (2026) 50% EDIT “O'Romeo is yet another bloated, soulless cesspool of nasty violence that serves no purpose but to try to make a serial killer look like a sexy hero. This movie thinks it's clever to have a woman become his assassin accomplice, but everything is just vile.” – Culture Mix Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% EDIT “The riveting drama The President's Cake takes an unforgettable journey through Baghdad in 1990. In a politically oppressed society, a 9-year-old girl is under deadline pressure to present a cake at her school to celebrate Saddam Hussein's birthday. ” – Culture Mix Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 62% EDIT “Whistle is sufficiently entertaining, as it follows a typical horror movie formula about a curse that kills people. (In this case, it's a cursed whistle.) The movie's big showdown is jumbled, but the overall story delivers scares and some unique visuals.” – Culture Mix Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 78% EDIT “The sci-fi horror comedy Cold Storage is a mix of gory and goofy in this story about a deadly green fungus that's unleashed from a Kansas storage facility. The movie also has wry observations of military corruption and worker exploitation.” – Culture Mix Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% EDIT “Crime 101 is a suspenseful thriller that doesn't always have credible scenarios but has credible characters. The movie's story about jewelry heists doesn't just focus on cops and robbers but also has the perspective of an insurance agent.” – Culture Mix Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 98% EDIT “Part mockumentary, part Back to the Future tribute, this comedy follows two hapless musicians stuck in 2008, while trying to book a gig in Toronto, with their camper van as an unexpected time machine.” – Culture Mix Feb 13, 2026 Full Review
