2/5
Scream 7 (2026) Robert Kojder Scream 7 is disappointingly straightforward. It’s time to stab this franchise to death

3/5
K-Pops! (2024) Robert Kojder It’s too broad in terms of K-Pop as a cultural phenomenon of the moment, but BJ’s character growth, the celebration of music across generations, and a family repaired make K-Pops! Pop just enough

2.5/5
For Worse (2025) Robert Kojder For Worse could have been worse. It’s not exactly great, either, with a wedding one couldn’t possibly care less about and can’t wait to leave

Scream 7 (2026) EJ Moreno I’ve always said there’s never been a bad Scream movie, and after this seventh entry, I still believe that.

2/5
Scream 7 (2026) Matt Rodgers Blunting the point of a razor-sharp 30-year old horror franchise, this has enough moments to make it worthy of fun dissemination at one of Randy’s house-parties, but there’s not much else worth screaming about seventh time around.

2/5
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Robert Kojder For about 70 minutes, the film rides this wave of competently acted, moderately interesting interconnected narrative until the already invasive melodramatic elements begin to double, triple, and quadruple until the whole endeavor collapses on itself

2.5/5
Dreams (2025) Robert Kojder It’s more eye-rolling that Michel Franco apparently knows only one trick or traumatic mode to fall back on
Posted Feb 26, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Bluff (2026) Robert Kojder The Bluff is a worthy action vehicle for Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who will hopefully continue to thrive and excel in the genre

3/5
Voice of Shadows (2023) Robert W. Monk A criticism that may well come up for horror fans is that bar one or two jumps, it’s not actually all that scary. Instead, there is more of a melancholic weirdness, which, to my mind, works pretty well given the subject matter.

2/5
Psycho Killer (2026) Robert Kojder The plot here is so razor-thin, with no characterization, that one wonders if the screenwriter brought the project to David Fincher, who then rejected it, thinking even he couldn’t have done anything exciting, suspenseful, or provocative with it
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Midwinter Break (2026) Robert Kojder The proceedings here are so dull, even by travelogue standards, that it is tempting to follow Gerry’s lead and go to sleep
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
How to Make a Killing (2026) Robert Kojder Disappointingly never pops with either the dark comedy or coldhearted viciousness required (something that is also reflected in Powell's performance, which mostly settles for charming rather than pushing the actor into either of those realms)
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/5
The Dreadful (2026) Robert Kojder The Dreadful serves up a Game of Thrones reunion between stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, which is about the only thing this film has to offer, considering it more than lives up to the title
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Redux Redux (2025) Robert Kojder With an emotionally loaded look, Redux Redux confidently knows what it wants to do and say about this particular cycle of grief and revenge born from tragedy and a device allowing its user to jump across the multiverse
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
This Is Not a Test (2025) Robert Kojder Although originally published in 2012 by Courtney Summers, writer/director Adam MacDonald’s cinematic adaptation of YA zombie thriller This Is Not a Test couldn’t have come at a timelier moment

4/5
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Robert Kojder There is nothing but burning love for EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert
Posted Feb 16, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/5
I Can Only Imagine 2 (2026) Robert Kojder The Christian component of I Can Only Imagine 2 isn’t irksomehere; it’s the rest of the movie that is either off-putting, frustrating, confounding, cluttered, hokey, or boring with an overreliance on fictionalized concert performances
Posted Feb 16, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Cold Storage (2026) Robert Kojder This one should have remained in cold storage until a more visionary filmmaking team came around to really make the premise and characters pop
Posted Feb 15, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Crime 101 (2026) Robert Kojder Elevated by an all-star cast and solid filmmaking from Bart Layton, including spectacular, practically accomplished car chases punctuated by violent showdowns, there is just enough crime and substance to make it work
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Robert Kojder An experience as overstuffed as its clunky film title, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, that director Gore Verbinski almost makes something cohesive and epically satisfying out of this is a victory in itself
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
GOAT (2026) Robert Kojder Aside from the false advertising that the real GOAT, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, is nowhere to be found in a movie called GOAT, this one is mostly all net for Sony. It’s not GOATed but a winner nonetheless

3/5
Bride of Re-Animator (1990) Amie Cranswick Bride of Re-Animator is terrific fun and captures the manic spirit of the original, only slightly less so.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Robert Kojder Emerald Fennell’s direction and the craft on display here are impeccably striking and beautiful, but it’s all in service to something emotionally flat and possibly afraid to live and die on the edge of bold as she has in the past
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Robert Kojder Nearly every sequence perfectly walks that line between stupidly and brilliantly uproarious

1.5/5
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Robert Kojder Thankfully, the journey is over for now, and we can become strangers to this failed series, erasing it from our minds
Posted Feb 07, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Moment (2026) Robert Kojder When the film is about artistic pressures, The Moment works, so it’s a shame that little else does, and no one who knew anything about the musician coming in will come away with anything more insightful, personally or professionally
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Whistle (2025) Robert Kojder Director Corin Hardy (and screenwriter Owen Egerton) blew it: Whistle, which unquestionably rips off other familiar horror ideas to an embarrassing degree, is terrible

3/5
Solo Mio (2026) Robert Kojder The film marks a pleasant evolution in Kevin James’s talent, revealing a more sophisticated, softer, quieter, and emotional side

2.5/5
Jimpa (2025) Robert Kojder The longer Jimpa goes on, the more it feels overstuffed with plot concepts and thematic ideas that are either discarded or never cohere into anything profound

2.5/5
Dracula (2025) Robert Kojder The third act is by far the strongest aspect of Luc Besson’s #Dracula, as it wholeheartedly embraces doomed romanticism and expressions of centuries-long yearning. It’s a shame that the film doesn’t have much life until then

3.5/5
Pillion (2025) Robert Kojder Erotic, amusing without condescension, and even sweet, Harry Lighton knows exactly what he wants to say about this kink scene, his characters, and what message to take

3.5/5
Joybubbles (2026) Robert Kojder The unorthodox method of human connection on display is uniquely moving, as the documentary consistently feels as if it’s covering something greater than one man hacking telephones: a defiance of loneliness, ableism, and trauma

3.5/5
The Incomer (2026) Robert Kojder Welcome The Incomer with open arms, it’s a laugh-riot with earned emotions

Bedford Park (2026) Robert Kojder Rarely does a film put as much thought and cultural complexity into why its central characters gravitate toward one another as co-editor/writer/director Stephanie Ahn’s Bedford Park

2.5/5
Carousel (2026) Robert Kojder With far too many dreamlike montages of characters living their lives, some true messiness in the script, and perspective problems, Carousel gets stuck. The performances sometimes get it going again
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Chasing Summer (2026) Robert Kojder This mostly unfunny, far too broad, and rarely honest film never evolves beyond the joke of Iliza Shlesinger playing a walking disaster working in disaster relief

3/5
Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) Robert Kojder The dramatic beats don’t always click, but it is vibrantly acted with equally rising musical numbers and undeniable inventiveness
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Union County (2026) Robert Kojder Adapting his short film into a narrative-docu-lite hybrid feature, writer/director Adam Meeks’ Union County is a sturdy story about the hardships of overcoming opioid addiction

2/5
zi (2026) Robert Kojder Aside from a couple of sweet moments here and there of authentic acting selling some of this connection alongside an inviting, picturesque depiction of Hong Kong, Zi is a meandering chore to get through
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
BURN (2026) Robert Kojder A bleakly authentic look at an unexplored Japanese subculture with, at times, a documentary-reminiscent aesthetic, writer/director Makoto Nagahisa’s depressingly moving Burn doesn’t hold back in its depiction of "Toyoko kids"
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Fing! (2026) Robert Kojder Fing! Has an off-putting start, but by the end, there is a total fing-clipse of the heart

2.5/5
Take Me Home (2026) Robert Kojder It is unquestionably authentically portrayed and lived-in with a vital perspective and approach to different forms of caretaking, but it takes narrative shortcuts that feel unearned

4.5/5
Josephine (2026) Robert Kojder Josephine is a shattering film in almost a million different ways, but one that sidesteps exploitation at every turn to consistently function as an engrossing, powerful look at both what trauma does to a child and their family

2.5/5
Send Help (2026) Robert Kojder Where this film eventually goes is diabolically fun with a legitimately terrific twist. Unfortunately, it needs help (either a rewrite or some cutting to a dull middle stretch of predictable mind games) to get there

Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild] (2026) Robert Kojder There are emotional moments capturing heavy moments of repatriations, and an overall optimistic outlook despite a dehumanizing history of being denied repeatedly

3/5
Shelter (2026) Robert Kojder The latest from director Ric Roman Waugh and star Jason Statham, Shelter, is a fusion of their philosophies toward the action genre and what they do best

Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Robert Kojder Everybody to Kenmure Street is a stirring look at what resistance looks like and what can be achieved through unity

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Robert Kojder All The Wrecking Crew does is repeatedly damage itself, destined to be another forgotten big-budget waste of algorithmic streaming space

3.5/5
The Last First: Winter K2 (2026) Robert Kojder This is another spectacular accomplishment in this subgenre visually, but this time, there isn’t much of a happy ending. It isn’t trying to give viewers a similar high, but also a reality check
