Primetime100

Pattinson cracks him wide open. He twists, bends and crumples in Hansen’s skin, embodying the moral tensions as his show crosses a line and begins to dictate what law enforcement should be doing.

Resident Evil63
Sep 23, 2026
Resident Evil is almost great. It’s a clever (if heavy-handed) metaphor for Cregger’s own fears for fatherhood, but its fatalism goes down like a bitter shot. Strangely enough, it might have been better as a video game.

In purely aesthetic terms, "Raise the Red Lantern" is breathtaking.

As gorgeous as it is, "Raise the Red Lantern" never achieves any momentum or weight.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day75
Jul 28, 2026
Brand New Day is a messy but largely successful attempt at remembering what makes Spider-Man special: that his greatest battle isn’t about villains, but the balance between his humanity and his job as a superhuman. Isolation and punishment don’t need to come with that responsibility.

Disclosure Day88
Jun 9, 2026
It’s a spectacular tale about what we see, what we hear, and how both can change what we believe and how we treat each other. By the final frame of this beautiful, immersive film, you realize it’s a plea.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie63
Apr 1, 2026
The movie loses many opportunities for stronger emotional resonance — the Sonic the Hedgehog films succeed far better because of their strong focus on character relationships. Yet, while watching this movie, I was reminded of the beginning of cinema.

Holding Liat63

The resulting film offers a unique and revealing — but fundamentally incomplete — perspective on the ongoing war in Gaza.

Dracula25
Feb 5, 2026
Dracula is one of the most confounding, and worst, movies I’ve seen in a long time.

The sheer earnestness of director Ugo Bienvenu’s elegiac, even mournful tale feels as appealingly anachronistic as its lush 2D animation.
