Outcome: My Viewing Needed to Get Canceled
Outcome (2026) Jonah Hill The actor-turned-director career arc has long fascinated me, especially because we’ve been blessed with a couple really great new directors like Greta Gerwig and Bradley Cooper. I’ve enjoyed Jonah Hill as an actor on numerous occasions, and I also liked his directorial debut, mid90s, but I was less sold on everything I saw happening in the trailer for Outcome. The premise had potential, but then the negative reviews…

The Drama: In Defense of Not Sharing
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Drama (2026) Kristoffer Borgli I will be amending this error as soon as I can, but we got to the theater late tonight and missed the first minute or two of this movie. It seemed to be mostly unimportant—there wasn’t anything later in the movie that I felt like I couldn’t explain—but I’ll still use my Regal Unlimited pass to go see the opening minutes.…

Forbidden Fruits: A Delicious Return to Camp Horror
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Forbidden Fruits (2026) Meredith Alloway Though I may be a legit film critic now, I’m not at the level yet where I’m going to film festivals. That didn’t stop me from getting introduced to Forbidden Fruits, and keeping my eye on it as it did pretty well at SXSW. The cast looked great here, and I was excited to try something a bit out of my comfort…

Little Gold Man Watch — My Thoughts on the 2026 Oscars Live Action Short Film Nominees
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. With a final push yesterday, my 2025 Oscars Death Race is complete! I got to see both the Live Action and Animated Short Film nominees in theaters yesterday afternoon, and with just a few hours until the Oscars start tonight, I’m pressed for time to get my thoughts on these short films out to you. In the order that I watched them, let’s start with the…

The Bride!: Swinging for the Fences and Grounding Out
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Bride! (2026) Maggie Gyllenhaal I’ve had a pretty big Franken-week, having watched the original Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein earlier in the week in preparation for The Bride! today. I was left a bit disappointed by the titular Bride’s absence in her film debut, so I was actually kind of hopeful for this movie. I knew I’d at least see her on the screen a lot more, and she was being…

Hoppers: The Craziest Dam Movie of the Year
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Hoppers (2026) Daniel Chong Like many of Pixar’s recent releases, my expectations for Hoppers were tempered when it was first announced, but once the first trailer came out, I found myself hopeful in the project. Even with the similarities to Avatar (that they had no problem pointing out themselves), I was crossing my fingers. Then the positive reviews started rolling in, and I got excited. Could Pixar have another original…

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die: Weapons for Sam Rockwell Stans
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026) Gore Verbinski And with that, the weekend of new releases has come to an end. While not quite as big a surprise as Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was yesterday, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (a movie with an equally long title) was also quite a shock to the system. I may be a bit presumptuous, but I have a…

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie: F is for Friends Who Make Absolute Cinema
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Matt Johnson Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was the third film of my historic film-watching weekend, and it was the one that popped up on my radar the latest. It’s 4.4 rating on Letterboxd was striking, to say the least, and the trailer looked funny, so I drove all the way to Denton to see it—that was…
