The Cat in the Hat (2026): There’s More Than One Way to Write a Cat
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Cat in the Hat (2026) Erica Rivinoja, Alessandro Carloni After a few days at home to rest (and to, you know, go to my day job), I was back at the theater tonight to take in another string of new releases! Did I feel a little silly going into my opening night showing of The Cat in the Hat in my local Regal’s biggest auditorium…

Wicker: A Real Basket Case, Am I Right?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wicker (2026) Eleanor Wilson, Alex Huston Fischer The weekend of new releases continues! Morgan’s been unavailable for most of the weekend due to clinicals, but she was free tonight, so we had to go see a movie. We decided to check out Wicker—because I had “checked out” everything else myself already—and I was surprised by the entire experience. I was expecting an odd, raunchy romantic-comedy, and…

Wildwood: Magic, Maturity, and More Where This Came From, Please
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wildwood (2026) Travis Knight With the heightened levels of teacher exhaustion that I’ve been feeling over the last month or two, I’ve fallen into a new method of watching, logging, and reviewing movies. Usually, I’ll watch a movie one night and write my review the next day, and occasionally, I’ll write a few notes down for me to include in my review. That’s exactly what I…

Street Fighter: Knocking Myself Out in the Theater
Street Fighter (2026) Kitao Sakurai How does one top You Can See Everything? Nothing in theaters right now was going to be able to match the sheer surprise and awe that I experienced watching that documentary, and unfortunately, Street Fighter certainly wasn’t close. As someone who has never played any of the Street Fighter games, I wasn’t the target audience for this movie, but I wanted to give it a…

Forgotten Island: Can I Get a Wapoosh?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Forgotten Island (2026) Januel Mercado, Joel Crawford Was back-to-back press screenings in Dallas on school nights the best idea I’ve ever had? Definitely not. But did I want to see Forgotten Island really bad and couldn’t pass up the opportunity? For sure! With Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado attached to direct (after the success of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish), Forgotten Island was sure to…

Buddy: It’s a Horrible Day in the Neighborhood
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Buddy (2026) Casper Kelly It seems that I’m making my return to the theater sooner than I anticipated! While Forgotten Island is still on the schedule for the 22nd, three movies have been added to the docket, including Buddy today. I’ve become more and more game for indie horror movies like these recently (see my love of Obsession, or my opening day ticket for Backrooms), but…

The Magic Faraway Tree: The English Have Such Active Imaginations!
The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) Ben Gregor My weekend of kind of average movies continues! I didn’t really vibe with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma yesterday, and then I chased that with the lesser Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Seeing Tony on Thursday feels like a distant memory, so I was hoping to right the ship with The Magic Faraway Tree today. I’m a big Andrew Garfield fan, so even if the movie ended…

The Odyssey: An Epic Destined to Please the Gods
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Odyssey (2026) Christopher Nolan My personal film-loving renaissance began in 2022 under pretty silly circumstances (that aren’t important to this story, so I’ll save them for another time), and as my love of film grew, one of the big events I remember early in that development was Barbenheimer in the summer of 2023. I was determined to see both Barbie and Oppenheimer in order to…
