Resident Evil
4 outta 5 Resident Evil by Weapons director Zach Cregger is an intense movie of unrelenting chase and monster scenes with a lot of unexpectedly funny bits. It isn’t exactly the most faithful adaptation of the Resident Evil games, but neither were the first six films. The one faithful Resident Evil adaptation was Welcome to…

Onslaught
3 outta 5 Onslaught is a horror siege gore action film that tries to say something about veterans and PTSD. This may have good intentions but clashes harshly with undead chainsaw wielding zombies like something out of Evil Dead. There’s also introspection from an isolated and hard-drinking single mother who has difficulty dealing with her…

Coyote vs. ACME
4 outta 5 After being stuck in a tax hole void for a few years, Coyote vs. ACME has finally been released and it is a very fun time with the Looney Tunes gang in a live-action and animation hybrid with smart meta-commentary about the eternal struggle of Wile E Coyote and commerce. Battling a…

Toy Story 5
4 outta 5 Toy Story 5 provides another solid Toy Story entry even though, honestly, Toy Story 3 had a fairly definitive ending. However, the specials, shorts, Part 4 and Part 5, all deliver fun continuing adventures of the Toy Story gang. Their plastic life is different now with their former leader leaving, and being…

The End of Oak Street
4 outta 5 The End of Oak Street may be a high-concept idea, but it ends up being a pretty straightforward survival movie featuring dinosaurs, with some really gnarly horror action involving folks being eaten by dinosaurs. This movie is primarily scenes of either dinosaur attacks or family melodrama. Adding a 1980s visual sheen is…

Spider-Man: Brand New Day
5 outta 5 Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the 4th Spider-Man film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is probably more of a character drama than previous MCU Spider-Man movies. Considering that Homecoming is a high school coming-of-age comedy, Far From Home is a full-on sitcom road trip movie and No Way Home is a…
-
The Odyssey
5 outta 5 Director Christopher Nolan bounces around genres and his films are unique and compelling. Now his adaptation of the epic Greek poem The Odyssey is appropriately epic. This is still a uniquely Nolan movie except set in ancient times and also has fantasy and horror elements. The Odyssey is a cool way to…

Evil Dead Burn
3 outta 5 It doesn’t seem possible, but Evil Dead Burn may actually be the goriest entry in the Evil Dead series. The excessive violence and cackling dismembered Deadite heads fit the tone of the last few installments. The 3rd film, Army of Darkness and the TV show Ash vs Evil Dead are much more…
-
Supergirl
3 outta 5 Supergirl is the second film of the once again rebooted DC Universe after 2025’s Superman but tonally it could have fit into the old DCEU Snyder-verse. More than anything, this movie feels of a piece of director Craig Gillespie’s previous output like I, Tonya, Cruella, Pam and Tommy and Fright Night. His…

Disclosure Day
4 outta 5 Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg going back to space aliens, a topic he excels at, with 2005’s War of the Worlds so far sitting at the top of 21st Century Spielberg movies. This movie is less about murderous aliens and more about unknowable awe and possessed folk of Close Encounters of the…
