The Wild Robot
The Wild Robot isn’t your average animated film. It’s rare to find a story that skips the predictable laughs and easy crowd-pleasers to focus on something deeper and more meaningful for both kids and adults.
Troop Zero
Although quite unbelievable, it's hard not to be swept away by the wit and charm of Troop Zero.
Harold and the Purple Crayon
While Harold and the Purple Crayon tries to sketch an imaginative story, it occasionally struggles to stay inside the lines of engaging family entertainment.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
I went into Frozen Empire cautiously optimistic, especially after hearing some mixed buzz, but it turned out way better than I expected.
It’s What’s Inside
It’s What’s Inside might just be one of the most entertaining films I’ve seen this year. Sure, it’s not flawless, but it has this undeniable charm that would make it a favorite for younger audiences.
I Saw the TV Glow
I found myself in the rare position of being stunned—not by awe, but by how much I just didn’t enjoy I Saw the TV Glow.
Pretty Woman
From beginning to end, Pretty Woman is a joy ride through romance, comedy and some surprising grit.
Will & Harper
Will & Harper is a heartfelt journey that isn’t just about the miles traveled but about the deeper spaces explored in friendship, identity and acceptance.
The Menendez Brothers
The Menendez Brothers isn’t a black-and-white documentary; it raises tough questions, especially about the complexities of abuse, justice and remorse.
High Fidelity
High Fidelity is a fantastic, fun film. It’s a love letter to anyone who adores art and loves talking about art.
Kinds of Kindness
Kinds of Kindness is not the most straightforward film. Lanthimos always challenges his audience, and I found myself scratching my head, trying to decipher what he was really trying to say. But that’s part of what makes him such a brilliant director.
The 40-Year-old Virgin
Much of the The 40-Year-Old Virgin's success comes from Steve Carell's outstanding performance, supported by an equally stellar ensemble cast.
Dream On
Dream On is a captivating three-part documentary that dives deep into the inspiring story of the 1996 U.S. women's basketball team. As a huge sports fan, I thought I had a solid grasp on the basketball landscape, but I was surprised to discover how little I knew about this fascinating team.
We Bought a Zoo
We Bought a Zoo is a movie that never fails to bring on the tears, no matter how many times I’ve watched it.
Untold: Sign Stealer
Untold: Sign Stealer is an entertaining ride, even if it doesn't fully satisfy that craving for the nitty-gritty details.
The Instigators
The Instigators doesn’t exactly break new ground, and its ending feels a bit rushed, but it compensates with impressive car chases and some intriguing political commentary on heroism and the armed forces.
Fiddler on the Roof
Fiddler on the Roof starts with a toe-tapping, lighthearted charm but gradually deepens into a poignant tale of tradition and change.
Deadpool & Wolverine
The stakes in Deadpool & Wolverine felt low, and in the end, it was a good time, but not groundbreaking.
Young Woman and the Sea
Young Woman and the Sea is an unexpected gem that deserved more than a quiet release on Disney+.
