#MollywoodTimes had the potential to be a sharp industry takedown, but it crumbles under the weight of its own ambitions midway through, leaving Naslen's decent performance as its only takeaway.

After decades of development hell, Amazon MGM Studios spent big on reviving one of Mattel’s IPs and… largely faltered.

With fantastic production design, expertly crafted horror and two noteworthy leading performances, #Backrooms is a triumph for Parsons and another win for A24.

With such a mediocre thriller script, this would have been an average outing for #JeethuJoseph under any other circumstance.

In the end, #Patriot is a film with ambition but little control.

In what could have been easily a nostalgic cash-grab of a sequel, director David Frankel deliver a better-than-expected follow-up that evolves with the times while maintaining the charm of the 2006 original.

With insane body horror, a gnarly third act and incredibly entertaining scares, Lee Cronin’s #TheMummy is a more than competent horror flick.

Thanks to Midhun’s unnecessary flourish, it ends up feeling like an unfinished film when it definitely deserved a better ending.

The long-awaited movie follow-up brings #CillianMurphy’s Tommy Shelby’s arc to a competent end.

#ReadyorNot2 can easily be summed up as ‘more of the same’, though the final product isn’t as slick and surprising as the first instalment was.

#ProjectHailMary is not only the best film 2026 has to offer so far, but may be one of the most impressive science fiction outings we’ve had this decade.

A no-nonsense #AlanRitchson leads Patrick Hughes’ military action and sci-fi thriller combo.

Maggie Gyllenhaal goes for a radical take on #TheBride of Frankenstein story but comes up short.

Director Andrew Stanton’s second foray into a live-action feature has once again failed to recapture the same moviemaking magic seen in his superior Pixar animated features.

Set against the procedural urgency of the adults who surround her, a little girl’s search for reassurance becomes an ordeal in itself.

Óliver Laxe’s directorial control denies comfort and bends both characters and viewers to ordeals that feel less staged than inescapable.

@firstshowing Apple prioritizes quality over quantity. Also, most of their content is for adults and not kids. It will be on the list in the future.

#Crime101 tells a very familiar story, but proves that things that aren’t broken don’t need to be fixed.

The new season crafts a narrative that is gripping without being sensational, attentive to the shadows that violence casts long before the crime itself occurs.
