4/10
Scream 7 (2026) Andrew Parker At this point it becomes clear that Scream 7’s particular brand of humour has become the thing series detractors have been saying for a long time. It’s smug.

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) Andrew Parker Even if viewers aren’t fans of Wings or McCartney’s 1970s output, it’s an easy watch with the man himself giving a lot of insight and hindsight into where his head and heart were at during this period.

Kokuho (2025) Andrew Parker Sang-il treats every character, development, and bit of tradition with respect and a delicate touch, all without feeling like a boring history lesson or a monotonous lyrical poem to forgotten traditions.

Jimpa (2025) Andrew Parker The result is a film that’s trying desperately to overwhelm the viewer into feeling a lot of different things at once, when it would be much better suited to focusing on the obvious, singular thread that gives Hyde’s film the greatest meaning.

In Cold Light (2025) Andrew Parker The script from Patrick Whistler is a standard crime melodrama, but Giroux brings it to vibrant life at every turn.

This Is Not a Test (2025) Andrew Parker This is Not a Test is a meat and potatoes kind of horror movie with just enough of a powerful hook to keep things interesting.

The President's Cake (2025) Andrew Parker It adds a layer of dramatic manipulation that’s hard to fully shake, but the film itself offers a nice reflection of its protagonist. It gets the job done by any means necessary.

The Bluff (2026) Andrew Parker t’s a mildly enjoyable movie for what it is, even if the scope of the whole thing suggests it could be a lot better.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Andrew Parker No matter what one thinks of his biopic, it’s clear that Luhrmann has a great affinity and respect for The King. He gets his stage presence and the man behind the music like an actual scholar, and this is just further evidence of that.

Sirāt (2025) Andrew Parker There’s a fascinating question at the heart of Sirat: if the world was ending, would we realize it was happening at first, or would we be so caught up in our own problems that any other dangers would barely register until it’s too late.

Montréal, ma belle (2025) Andrew Parker The vulnerability, warmth, and underlying desire that radiates from Feng is achingly portrayed by the [Chen], who has never shied away from roles that require her to examine the fraught nature of sexual attraction.

Midwinter Break (2026) Andrew Parker Much of Stella’s quest to lead a more devout life feels borne from boredom, almost like a midlife crisis where someone has run out of things to do so they just decide to find religion again.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Andrew Parker [It's] obvious that Powell has a certain leading man comfort zone that he’s not yet willing to leave, which is a detriment to a film that should be playing as a more empowering take on something like American Psycho and not a bland, half-speed comedy.

5/10
Psycho Killer (2026) Andrew Parker Entire swaths of the movie appear to have been excised in a bid to make this a much dumber and more conventional horror movie, one where the viewers know less about many of the Satanic Slasher’s victims than the hapless teens in a Friday the 13th movie.

7/10
Finch & Midland (2025) Andrew Parker Although they are connected mostly by geography and ethnicity, that’s surprisingly enough to keep Finch and Midland together as a cohesive whole.

3/10
Cold Storage (2026) Andrew Parker Jonny Campbell’s sense of pacing is way off, with much of the movie coming across as a time killing drag, offering up little in the way of humour or horror until nearly the halfway point.

Crime 101 (2026) Andrew Parker There are many examples of this kind of movie out there, but Crime 101 more than stakes its claim to being a part of a great cinematic lineage.

7/10
Pillion (2025) Andrew Parker The chemistry between Melling and Skarsgard is off the charts. They look at each other with such pronounced love and affection that many viewers will likely forget that so much of their relationship revolves around bondage and dominance.

9/10
My Father's Shadow (2025) Andrew Parker Davies captures the time period perfectly, and My Father’s Shadow balances expressionistic flourishes with the raw human emotion that goes hand in hand with being raised by a distant, difficult to understand parent.

The Moment (2026) Andrew Parker It’s not as original or boundary pushing as some might be expecting from Charli XCX, but overall, The Moment captures a cultural… well, moment, from a darker perspective.

Sway (2024) Andrew Parker Don’t let it’s modest appearance fool you. Sway is as deadly as they come.

A Poet (2025) Andrew Parker But even as it stands in its shaggy form, A Poet is the kind of crowd pleaser that’s made for audiences that can’t stand crowd pleasers.

3/10
Dracula (2025) Andrew Parker It’s not the least effective take on Stoker’s classic, and it certainly isn’t Besson’s worst film, but Dracula makes viewers wonder why anyone needed or wanted this thing to happen when there are so many better takes out there.

Chasing Summer (2026) Andrew Parker The unlikely, but inspired pairing of boundary pushing director Josephine Decker and writer/star Iliza Shlesinger turn in one of the finest and funniest romantic comedies in recent memory.

Shelter (2026) Andrew Parker While the plot of Shelter is as predictable as these things tend to get, the film as a whole keeps things entertaining and refreshing by actually allowing its cast members to give well crafted performances amid some nifty action sequences

6/10
Send Help (2026) Andrew Parker Although it takes a roundabout and not always emotionally logical way of arriving at its destination, Send Help is a fun, nasty, and rousing bit of wish fulfilment for anyone who has felt picked on or bullied in the workplace by an idiotic boss.

A Private Life (2025) Andrew Parker Zlotowski deals with a lot of loaded topics ripe for emotional explanations and payoffs, but none of them offer much in the way of primal or intellectual impact.

Charlie the Wonderdog (2025) Andrew Parker Charlie the Wonderdog is a whole lotta nothing. It’s not bad enough to be offensive, creative enough to be interesting, or anything at all worth talking about. It’s just there. It exists.

All You Need Is Kill (2025) Andrew Parker [T]he kind of pop art story that doesn’t want to drag things out or bog things down. It offers up the barest necessities for one’s enjoyment and doesn’t let up on the gas unless absolutely necessary.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Andrew Parker Straddling the odd, primal line between being highly entertaining and upsetting, this follow-up to its comparatively subdued predecessor from last year... goes for pure overkill and succeeds.

76 Days Adrift (2024) Andrew Parker It’s Callahan’s recounting of a lengthy, life threatening scenario that makes this one so compelling and riveting; less so the construction of the documentary itself.

DJ Ahmet (2025) Andrew Parker DJ Ahmet is cinematic comfort done well, with Unkovski preferring quiet moments to saccharine sweetness or an abundance of grand, sweeping gestures.

The Plague (2025) Andrew Parker Polinger’s approach to a bleak time in the lives of many young people is as unsettling as it is delicate; refined as it is revolting to sometimes watch.

We Bury the Dead (2024) Andrew Parker It’s not a consistently assured film, especially down the stretch, but We Bury the Dead has a lot of good ideas, notions, performances, and smart writing to keep things engaging.

The Housemaid (2025) Andrew Parker It’s the perfect antidote for heavier awards fare and bloated, inescapable studio blockbusters. Sure, it’s a popcorn movie at heart, but sometimes The Housemaid is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Andrew Parker Although Avatar: Fire and Ash is yet another gorgeous looking technical achievement from director and co-writer James Cameron, this third instalment in his boundary pushing franchise is a major letdown on every other level.

Peter Hujar's Day (2025) Andrew Parker Even if the viewer doesn’t have prior knowledge of any of the figures, luminaries, and acquaintances being brought up in conversation, Sachs and Whishaw find ways of making everything accessible amid such an experimental concept.

Dust Bunny (2025) Andrew Parker It’s a niche film and a crowd pleaser at the same time; a studious exercise in genre homage that seeks to give audiences a chaotic mash-up the likes of which they’ll never see again.

La Grazia (2025) Andrew Parker Maybe Sorrentino has gone soft as of late. Or maybe he has just figured out how to better modulate his impulses and fetishes and turn them into stories that have just as much substance as they do style.

Cutting Through Rocks (2025) Andrew Parker This could benefit from some additional external perspective, but as a series of well observed moments that resonate on a level that most viewers will be able to understand, Cutting Through Rocks is worth the struggle.

Measures for a Funeral (2025) Andrew Parker It sounds dry, and at points it can be, but Bohdanowicz has crafted a work about the art of research that’s finds warmth in all things academic.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (2025) Andrew Parker There’s a lot to like about Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, but it’s essentially a feature length commercial catered towards die hard fans who want to see these characters on the big screen and/or they can’t wait for the new series to drop early next month.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Andrew Parker With the holiday season ramping up, Zootopia 2 is a safe, solid, and likeable bet that the whole family can enjoy with ease.

Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Andrew Parker A rollicking, blood soaked thrill ride that takes the best elements of the first 2022 outing, cranks them to maximum speed, and watches the gleeful carnage.

Zodiac Killer Project (2025) Andrew Parker It’s not 100% successful as a film on its own, but then again, neither was the project Shackleton set out to make in the first place. Zodiac Killer Project is confounding, but also unique in its willingness to admit defeat.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Andrew Parker There’s a welcome level of honesty with the audience in these movies that sets them apart. They tell you that there’s magic afoot. And what you get is magic.

Being Eddie (2025) Andrew Parker The tone of Being Eddie is "some things happened in my life and I’m grateful for almost all of it," which is fine, but a bit dull unless all you want to hear about are the hits and high points.

Playdate (2025) Andrew Parker It’s the kind of “movie” that gives “content” a bad name. It’s not a movie you watch to enjoy. It’s something that happens to you.

Nuremberg (2025) Andrew Parker Nuremberg keeps the spectacle of the courtroom drama at bay as long as it can, with Vanderbilt preferring to focus on a small number of key players and their individual roles in a larger picture.

Predator: Badlands (2025) Andrew Parker It’s fine if all you want is a movie about a swarthy antihero slicing and dicing his way through an interplanetary jungle, but don’t expect much more than that.
