Swapped: Freaky Fly-Day is a Win for Skydance
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Swapped (2026) Nathan Greno Animation fans have been blessed over the last decade. I hate to simplify too much and give all the credit to the Spider-Verse films, but since Into the Spider-Verse came out in 2018, animation has been the medium of creative risk and experimentation. Though it feels like every major animation studio has been pushing the envelope for the last ten years, there are a few whose…

The Devil Wears Prada 2: High Hopes, Heels, and Praise
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) David Frankel I usually try to make sure that the first film I watch every year is a good one, and on January 2 of this year, Morgan and I rewatched The Devil Wears Prada in preparation for tonight, when the sequel came out. When this movie was first announced, it reeked of corporate desperation—it’s been 20 years, why make a new…

Mother Mary: An Exorcise in Patience
Mother Mary (2026) David Lowery For the four years that I’ve had Letterboxd, Mother Mary has sat on my watchlist for three of them. From when the movie was announced, I was excited for Jack Antonoff to write songs for an Anne Hathaway-led music movie, and I had relatively high hopes for this one, too. I really enjoyed my first David Lowery movie, A Ghost Story, last month, so imagine my disappointment when…

Michael: Have Some Fun or Beat It
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Michael (2026) Antoine Fuqua Up until a few days ago, I thought I knew what to expect going into the Michael Jackson biopic. I was expecting, as Jonathan Fujii very eloquently put it, “the most generic music biopic formula that continues to plague the 21st century and the best songs you’ve ever heard in your life”, but then the embarrassingly low Rotten Tomatoes score came out, and I…

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)…

Over Your Dead Body: I Would Die for Jason Segel
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Over Your Dead Body (2026) Jorma Taccone All hail Jason Segel! I’ve been a fan of his since How I Met Your Mother, and I just finished Season 3 of Shrinking two days ago, so I was pretty excited for Over Your Dead Body. Sure, horror may still not be my favorite genre, but given Segel’s penchant for comedy and Jorma Taccone at the wheel, I figured this movie was…

Outcome: My Viewing Needed to Get Canceled
Outcome (2026) Jonah Hill The actor-turned-director career arc has long fascinated me, especially because we’ve been blessed with a couple really great new directors like Greta Gerwig and Bradley Cooper. I’ve enjoyed Jonah Hill as an actor on numerous occasions, and I also liked his directorial debut, mid90s, but I was less sold on everything I saw happening in the trailer for Outcome. The premise had potential, but then the negative reviews…

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.…
