Resident Evil (2026): Cregger Deep in His Level A Bag
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Resident Evil (2026) Zach Cregger I know what you’re thinking. You saw this on my website or my Letterboxd and thought, “Resident Evil? Has Nate even played the games? Has he seen any of the movies?”. And the answer to both of those questions would be no. I have zero experience with the Resident Evil universe, but I do have (limited) experience with Zach Cregger, and…

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…

Mayday: Third Gun From the Top, But Count Me Ass-Ass-In!
Mayday (2026) Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley Other than the opening weeks of 2026, I can’t remember a longer drought of new movies this year than the one we’re in right now. The last time I went to the theater for a new film was The Dog Stars on September 4, and I won’t be back until my press screening of Forgotten Island on the 22nd. Luckily, though, a few streamers have dropped in…

Camp Rock 3: She’s Really (Not) Good!
Camp Rock 3 (2026) Veronica Rodriguez I had a long day at school today—not bad, just long. I got there at 6:45am and didn’t leave until 5:00pm, after my students’ first choir rehearsal of the year. I got home and was absolutely spent. All I wanted to do was sit, eat, and turn my brain off, and Camp Rock 3—which I had been meaning to watch—appeared as if it would fit…

Coyote vs. Acme: In Defense of Trying and Failing and Trying Again
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Coyote vs. Acme (2026) Dave Green It’s here! It’s finally here! I understand I’ve said this about a couple movies in the past, but it applies most truly here: I have been waiting for Coyote vs. Acme for years. Since it began filming back in 2022, I’ve followed this film’s tough journey from being shelved by Warner Brothers to being freed by a mob of Looney Tunes lovers…

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…

Tony: Let Matt Johnson and Dominic Sessa Cook!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Tony (2026) Matt Johnson If you’re a loyal reader of my Letterboxd, you’d already know that 2026 has been the year of Matt Johnson for me. I’ve become obsessed with him as a filmmaker, starting with Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie in February and continuing with Nirvanna the Band the Show and BlackBerry this summer. Each of his projects have been refreshingly outside-the-box, hilarious, and heartfelt, so it…

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…
