Wildwood: Magic, Maturity, and More Where This Came From, Please
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wildwood (2026) Travis Knight With the heightened levels of teacher exhaustion that I’ve been feeling over the last month or two, I’ve fallen into a new method of watching, logging, and reviewing movies. Usually, I’ll watch a movie one night and write my review the next day, and occasionally, I’ll write a few notes down for me to include in my review. That’s exactly what I…

Street Fighter: Knocking Myself Out in the Theater
Street Fighter (2026) Kitao Sakurai How does one top You Can See Everything? Nothing in theaters right now was going to be able to match the sheer surprise and awe that I experienced watching that documentary, and unfortunately, Street Fighter certainly wasn’t close. As someone who has never played any of the Street Fighter games, I wasn’t the target audience for this movie, but I wanted to give it a…

You Can See Everything: The Dark Side of Believing in Yourself
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. You Can See Everything (2026) Nathan Fielder, Lance Oppenheim It truly seems like every new October film is hell-bent on making me eat my words about Wildwood being the best release of the month. I watched the first few episodes of The Dropout when it came out, but beyond that, I knew nothing about Elizabeth Holmes or Theranos. I also hadn’t seen any other piece of…

The Social Reckoning: Billionaires on High Alert (But They Don’t Care)
The Social Reckoning (2026) Aaron Sorkin In a world where most money-making films are sequels or reboots or remakes, it’s not surprising that The Social Network eventually got a sequel. I’d even say it’s one of the most deserving movies of a sequel, considering how upside-down Facebook has turned our world in the years since The Social Network came out. I had high hopes for this movie when it was…

Digger: Standing in the Hole and Still Digging
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Digger (2026) Alejandro G. Iñárritu In my September Nate at the Movies newsletter (that’s read by all of 13 people, half of whom are family), I named Wildwood as my biggest-ticket movie of October. I am legitimately stoked for that movie, but Digger must have heard that I said that, because it entered the ring tonight and stole the show. Wildwood still has a chance to…

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…

Forgotten Island: Can I Get a Wapoosh?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Forgotten Island (2026) Januel Mercado, Joel Crawford Was back-to-back press screenings in Dallas on school nights the best idea I’ve ever had? Definitely not. But did I want to see Forgotten Island really bad and couldn’t pass up the opportunity? For sure! With Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado attached to direct (after the success of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish), Forgotten Island was sure to…

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…
