The AI Doc: It’s the End of the World As We Know It
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) Daniel Roher, Charlie Tyrell As I’ve expanded my film history knowledge, I’ve learned that there was a bygone time when theatrical releases for documentaries were commonplace. What happened? I mean, I know what happened, but we should get back to that. The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist may be as good a place as any…

Forbidden Fruits: A Delicious Return to Camp Horror
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Forbidden Fruits (2026) Meredith Alloway Though I may be a legit film critic now, I’m not at the level yet where I’m going to film festivals. That didn’t stop me from getting introduced to Forbidden Fruits, and keeping my eye on it as it did pretty well at SXSW. The cast looked great here, and I was excited to try something a bit out of my comfort…

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…

The Bride!: Swinging for the Fences and Grounding Out
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Bride! (2026) Maggie Gyllenhaal I’ve had a pretty big Franken-week, having watched the original Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein earlier in the week in preparation for The Bride! today. I was left a bit disappointed by the titular Bride’s absence in her film debut, so I was actually kind of hopeful for this movie. I knew I’d at least see her on the screen a lot more, and she was being…

Hoppers: The Craziest Dam Movie of the Year
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Hoppers (2026) Daniel Chong Like many of Pixar’s recent releases, my expectations for Hoppers were tempered when it was first announced, but once the first trailer came out, I found myself hopeful in the project. Even with the similarities to Avatar (that they had no problem pointing out themselves), I was crossing my fingers. Then the positive reviews started rolling in, and I got excited. Could Pixar have another original…

In the Blink of an Eye: If Here and Project Hail Mary Had a Dog
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Andrew Stanton At this point in my cinephile evolution, not a lot of movies really sneak up on me. Usually I’ll see trailers, posters, or cast announcements well before the news is mainstream, but such was not the case for In the Blink of an Eye. You’d think that I would’ve heard about an Andrew Stanton-led science fiction movie at…

How to Make a Killing: Killer Charm and Charming Killers
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. How to Make a Killing (2026) John Patton Ford I’m sorry, did you say Glen Powell AND Margaret Qualley? How had I not heard about this movie sooner? As you can probably imagine, I was quickly interested in How to Make a Killing once I saw that first star-studded trailer. Between the endless amounts of charm oozing from Powell and Qualley and the very interesting premise, I was…

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die: Weapons for Sam Rockwell Stans
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026) Gore Verbinski And with that, the weekend of new releases has come to an end. While not quite as big a surprise as Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was yesterday, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (a movie with an equally long title) was also quite a shock to the system. I may be a bit presumptuous, but I have a…
