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)…

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.…

Wuthering Heights: Steamy, Surreal, and A Bit Short of “Heights”
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wuthering Heights (2026) Emerald Fennell Pardon the wordplay, but my Valentine’s Day Weekend is about to be a movie. Starting tonight, I’m seeing a 2026 release every day of this weekend through Monday, and Wuthering Heights had the distinct honor of going first. Liz and Gabe joined us for this one—we’ve earned quite the reputation for roping them into weird movies—and while I certainly enjoyed Wuthering Heights, it sounded…

Song Sung Blue: Good Times, Hard Times, and Songs That Stick
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Song Sung Blue (2025) Craig Brewer Just kidding about the “last theater visit of 2025” thing from before! With an abundance of time in Kansas City before the Roos basketball game this evening, half of our group ventured to Screenland in Kansas City (by the way, one of the coolest theaters I’ve ever been to, and with a great chicken bacon grilled cheese to boot!) to…

Eternity: The Good Place Plays This Movie
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Eternity (2025) David Freyne My Thanksgiving Break has become surprisingly full with travel and weddings and dinners, so I’m having to puzzle together all of these movies I want to see as well. Eternity was one that I was plenty interested but Morgan wasn’t, so today—when Morgan’s out shopping in Fredericksburg—was the perfect day to go see it. Predictably, it crushed. What interested me most about Eternity when I first heard…

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey: This Really Should’ve Worked
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Kogonada After being disappointed by HIM yesterday, I was hoping that A Big Bold Beautiful Journey would be able to defeat its lackluster Letterboxd rating, and for honestly some of the same reasons, it couldn’t get the job done. It boggles my mind a little bit that the Colin Farrell, Margot Robbie-led sweeping romance didn’t work out, because it totally should have. Where the…

The Roses: Now I Know What Not to Do!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Roses (2025) Jay Roach I’m back on the proverbial movie horse after a week away from film, and while I excited to see The Roses today (the trailers made it look very promising), I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. The main source of this surprise was in its exceptional balance between comedy—which is possesses in spades—and realistic and tragic relationships. Many of the…

Materialists: Checking Boxes Left and Right (Though That’s Not Everything)
Materialists (2025) Celine Song After enjoying Celine Song’s debut feature in 2023, I was obviously excited to see her return with a love story told by three of the most attractive and admired actors in the business right now, in my cinematic opinion. Materialists promised to be dramatic and quick and passionate in its trailers, but the level of depth that Song pulled out of this story and cast was impressive, though…
