The Only Living Pickpocket in New York: Time Cannot Be Stolen Back
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) Noah Segan I was at one of my students’ volleyball games yesterday, and after it was over, her dad and I were talking about Halloween plans. I told him that we didn’t get any trick-or- treaters at our apartment, so I’d be going to see a movie, and he asked me, “Do you go see pretty much everything in theaters?”, and I…

Wild Horse Nine: Trade Out Your Bullets for Horses
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wild Horse Nine (2026) Martin McDonagh That may be the last school night press screening that I do for a while. Don’t get me wrong; I really love going to press screenings, and tonight’s movie was fantastic. But driving 80 minutes from Roanoke to downtown Dallas on a Tuesday night for a 110-minute movie? Not the most fun way to spend an evening. For as much…

Clayface: The Makeover Superhero Movies Needed
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Clayface (2026) James Watkins So that’s the difference between an R-rated DC movie and an R-rated Marvel movie! The new DC got off to a rocky start—Superman became one of my favorite superhero movies ever, and Supergirl charmingly fell on its face—so I was interested to see where the studio would go from there. Enter Clayface, which from the first trailers looked markedly different from its…

Primetime: I Saw the CCTV Glow
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Primetime (2026) Lance Oppenheim A press screening on a school night? Where you have to drive all the way across DFW? Is that a good idea? These are the things I know you’re asking yourself of me, and I hear you. I also need you to know that, for Primetime, I would have driven to Austin on a school night. Morgan and I were equally stoked…

The Rivals of Amziah King: We Bee-long Together
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Rivals of Amziah King (2025) Andrew Patterson Color me absolutely shocked that the best movie that I’m seeing during Coyote vs. Acme Week may not be Coyote vs. Acme! I had middling interest in The Rivals of Amziah King—I like Matthew McConaughey as much as the next guy—but then I kept seeing people rave about the story and the music on Instagram and I thought I should check it…

Pressure: Weather or Not to Storm the Beaches
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Pressure (2026) Anthony Maras There wasn’t going to be a single thing I could do today to get that heart-wrenching Spurs loss out of my mind, not the least of which a new WWII movie in theaters, but that didn’t stop me from ending up there today. I didn’t have too many expectations for Pressure, but I figured it would be decent if Andrew Scott and Brendan…

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…

Tuner: A Music Fan’s Dream and Nightmare
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Tuner (2025) Daniel Roher I’m back in Fort Worth, so you know what that means: let’s schedule an insane number of new movies to go see! First up was Tuner, which looked cheesy the first time I saw the trailer and then more legitimately interesting every time I saw the trailer after that. From the outside, it seemed like this movie was made for me, given its…
