The Dog Stars: What Can Be Said When It’s All Said and Done?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Dog Stars (2026) Ridley Scott When I was choosing my Adaptation Appreciation books at the end of last year, Peter Heller’s The Dog Stars was in the running, purely off of the movie’s star power. I loved all three of the upcoming film’s leads and figured that, with Ridley Scott at the helm, this adaptation could hit pretty hard. I eventually sidestepped The Dog Stars book in favor of…

The End of Oak Street: The Beginning of Dino Movies’ Next Chapter
The End of Oak Street (2026) David Robert Mitchell With summer blockbuster season in the rear view mirror, my priorities have shifted to the numerous original films coming out in the next couple months. While there are bigger fish for me to fry in that time (Coyote vs. Acme has to be my most anticipated one of the bunch), I’ve been really excited for The End of Oak Street as well. I love…

Supergirl: Lost in Translation Without Gunn
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Supergirl (2026) Craig Gillespie I’ve had quite the superhero renaissance over the last few years, and it all started with James Gunn’s Superman. I saw that poster and trailer and immediately felt hope for the genre again. I felt many of the same feelings about Supergirl—my excitement most manifested in me reading the comic that this movie was allegedly based on—but those feelings waned as everyone on the…

Disclosure Day: We Came in Peace a Long Time Ago
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Disclosure Day (2026) Steven Spielberg For the uninitiated, alongside my Letterboxd, I also have a website—Nate at the Movies—where I post all my reviews. We’re slowly (and I mean slowly) building a following, but more importantly, my website earned me a coveted spot in the North Texas Film Critics Association, which I have loved being a part of. I’ve gotten to meet with people who share…

Masters of the Universe: Nicholas, Jared, and Travis Have the Power!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Masters of the Universe (2026) Travis Knight I told you I was scheduling a lot of movies! I remember when Masters of the Universe was first announced a few years ago; I immediately added it to my watchlist, only after asking, “What’s Masters of the Universe?”. I didn’t ever watch the show as a kid, but I knew who He-Man and Skeletor were in the same way that I…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu: Cute and Fun, and That’s Just Fine
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) Jon Favreau Just over a year ago, I started my latest trek through the entire Star Wars universe, this time in chronological order. It was an absolute blast getting to revisit all these iconic movies, and I even found some new favorites, both in the movies and TV shows (looking at you, Andor and Rogue One). The three seasons of The Mandalorian were pretty enjoyable, so…

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…

Project Hail Mary: Amaze Amaze Amaze!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Project Hail Mary (2026) Phil Lord, Christopher Miller This review is going to be really long, so strap in. It’s been about four hours since I got out of Project Hail Mary, and I took those four hours to really let my thoughts about this film marinate—I also ate dinner and watched some March Madness. Admittedly, I’m pretty tired as I begin writing this review, so there’s…
