The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) 49% EDIT “Anime fans might find something redeemable here, but The War of the Rohirrim adds nothing to either Tolkien’s books or Jackson’s films, standing instead as a testament to cynical studios milking franchise IP for all its worth. ” – Willamette Week Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% EDIT “There are moments of brilliance within the mystery, but it’s too slight and unfocused to be truly satisfying.” – Willamette Week Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “There’s enough to recommend in Highest 2 Lowest that it’s worth it for fans of Spike Lee’s previous joints, but after turning in modern hits like BlacKkKlansman and Da 5 Bloods, we know Da Man From Brooklyn is capable of better.” – Willamette Week Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% EDIT “The movie comes alive when DDL gives blistering monologues about his dark backstory, reminding us why he’s one of the best to ever do it, but that’s not enough to make up for long stretches dedicated to Jem joining Ray on his everyday routine.” – Willamette Week Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 96% EDIT “Sentimental Value’s ending leaves something to be desired—a little too neat for a story this messy—but it’s a well-observed look at complicated family dynamics and the pain and beauty that can come of them.” – Willamette Week Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Paradise Records (2025) EDIT “Logic’s fans might find something to enjoy in his feature debut, but Paradise Records tries to remix a classic and ends up just looking like a pale imitation. ” – Willamette Week Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Eternity (2025) 76% EDIT “The blatant artificiality of the place hits the right note between the banal and the surreal and proves the ideal stage for such an odd yet emotional story.” – Willamette Week Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Drug Holiday (2025) EDIT “Despite its shortcomings, there’s a passion and drive behind Drug Holiday that can’t be denied and should be encouraged. ” – Willamette Week Nov 3, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “Anderson lines the story with enough gunfights and car chases to keep the audience entertained while letting the politics stand on their own without being too preachy.” – Willamette Week Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% EDIT “Feelings of pessimism, powerlessness and futility in the face of overwhelming odds lie at the film noir genre’s core. Chinatown boasts these in spades.” – Willamette Week Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Barbarian (2022) 92% EDIT “The story’s unpredictability is one of Barbarian’s greatest strengths, as Cregger thrives on pulling the rug out from under audiences and trusting them to keep up just to know what’s going on.” – Willamette Week Aug 1, 2025 Full Review All About My Mother (1999) 98% EDIT “It stands as a tragic, funny, gorgeous and uplifting tribute to mothers, actresses and women of all kinds. ” – Willamette Week Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Blazing Saddles (1974) 89% EDIT “Blazing Saddles still holds up as a riotously funny comedy that’s just as biting now as it was five decades ago. ” – Willamette Week Jul 14, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% EDIT “For those looking for a spark of magic amid the chaos of our own mortality, The Life of Chuck is a welcome escape from and a joyous appreciation of all the ups and downs that life has to offer.” – Willamette Week Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Sunshine (2007) 77% EDIT “There’s beauty in it—Boyle and his team make a near-religious experience of getting up close and personal with the center of our solar system, buoyed by an effervescent score by John Murphy and British techno group Underworld.” – Willamette Week Jun 23, 2025 Full Review The Sandlot (1993) 66% EDIT “The Sandlot is derivative, often simplistic and saccharine, but it can’t be denied just how well it works as a coming-of-age adventure appreciated by audiences of all stripes.” – Willamette Week Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Mountainhead (2025) 74% EDIT “Mountainhead has many dreadful (and accurate) things to say about the modern icons of Silicon Valley, but takes too long saying them to make for a compelling story.” – Willamette Week Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% EDIT “Friendship gives Robinson the chance to exercise his schtick in a feature-length production, resulting in a maddening cringe comedy that’s just as funny as it is uncomfortable. ” – Willamette Week Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Dogma (1999) 72% EDIT “While Smith airs his grievances with the Catholic church and the Good Book itself through his usual vernacular of curse words and pop culture references, Dogma is ultimately an affirmation of faith and the hope for a greater good watching out for us all. ” – Willamette Week Jun 6, 2025 Full Review My Own Private Idaho (1991) 81% EDIT “Reeves uses a confident, playful swagger to cover his insecurity and internalized self-loathing, but it’s Phoenix who shines brightest as our soft-spoken, vulnerable hero.” – Willamette Week May 28, 2025 Full Review To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) 89% EDIT “Live and Die remains one of the late director’s best: a neo-noir caper with a sharp script and the occasional burst of grindhouse violence.” – Willamette Week May 21, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 86% EDIT “The Wedding Banquet is a sumptuous feast—a high-wire act of dramedy that’s just as funny, heartfelt and envelope pushing as the original. ” – Willamette Week Apr 17, 2025 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 94% EDIT “My Dead Friend Zoe runs a little long in its final act, but it ultimately succeeds as an exploration of shell shock and mental health, a crowd-pleasing dramedy and a show of appreciation and brotherhood to servicemembers of all stripes.” – Willamette Week Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 18% EDIT “The script doesn’t do the film any favors. The romance part of this rom-com is rushed, and attempts at dark humor fall flat.” – Willamette Week Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% EDIT “Wolf Man doesn’t rewrite the book on one of cinema’s most revered terrors, but if you’re looking for a scary time in a cabin in the woods, you could do worse.” – Willamette Week Jan 28, 2025 Full Review
