Power Ballad: John Carney Strikes Another Chord
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Power Ballad (2026) John Carney If you follow the Nate at the Movies website closely, you’d know that I actually intended to watch Power Ballad on Tuesday, but my stomach decided that wasn’t going to happen. Luckily, I’m on summer break, so pivoting to a new day and showtime was easy-peasy. I was excited for Power Ballad because of how much I adore Sing Street, and I figured that with Paul…

Scary Movie (2026): Legacy Characters and References and Meta Humor, Oh My!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Scary Movie (2026) Michael Tiddes If you made me bet at the beginning of the week which of the June 5 theatrical releases I’d see first, I would’ve lost all my money. There was no way I thought Scary Movie would be first off the list, but here we are. Sammy—who I’ve learned watched at least three of the Scary Movies—and I ventured to my favorite Regal to take…

The Breadwinner: A White Bread Movie Winning My Heart
The Breadwinner (2026) Eric Appel I’m in San Antonio for the week, and my dad wanted to orchestrate a Mando and Grogu movie night for all of us. Trouble was, I’d already seen it. Instead, we split; three of us went to The Mandalorian and Grogu, and three of us (myself included) went to The Breadwinner. I didn’t think Nate Bargatze’s film debut was going to best Mando and Grogu—and I’m not sure it did—but…

I Love Boosters: A Masterful Monochrome Mindhump
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. I Love Boosters (2026) Boots Riley A couple months ago, I watched Sorry to Bother You in preparation for I Love Boosters, and suffice it to say I was shocked by that movie. I loved it, no doubt, but it totally shifted my perception of what I Love Boosters would be. Going into tonight, I was fully prepared for the absurdist social commentary that Boots Riley excels at, and Morgan so…

The Sheep Detectives: The Best British Talking Animals Since Paddington
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Sheep Detectives (2026) Kyle Balda By this point in my movie-loving journey, I should know not to write off a movie simply because it has a silly title or premise. Just take a look at KPop Demon Hunters last year; despite its straightforward title, it absolutely rocked and won Biggest Surprise at the 2026 Nateys. The Sheep Detectives is almost a shoe-in to share the same fate. I rolled…

The Devil Wears Prada 2: High Hopes, Heels, and Praise
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) David Frankel I usually try to make sure that the first film I watch every year is a good one, and on January 2 of this year, Morgan and I rewatched The Devil Wears Prada in preparation for tonight, when the sequel came out. When this movie was first announced, it reeked of corporate desperation—it’s been 20 years, why make a new…

Mile End Kicks: Almost Almost Famous
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Mile End Kicks (2026) Chandler Levack Morgan went to San Antonio on Friday and is going to be gone for the next ten days, so you know what that means: I’m going to the theater five times this week, and no one can stop me! First up was my first of two trips to the AMC in Grapevine (tomorrow I’ll be there to see Speed Racer in IMAX)…

Over Your Dead Body: I Would Die for Jason Segel
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Over Your Dead Body (2026) Jorma Taccone All hail Jason Segel! I’ve been a fan of his since How I Met Your Mother, and I just finished Season 3 of Shrinking two days ago, so I was pretty excited for Over Your Dead Body. Sure, horror may still not be my favorite genre, but given Segel’s penchant for comedy and Jorma Taccone at the wheel, I figured this movie was…
