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…

The Dog Stars: What Can Be Said When It’s All Said and Done?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Dog Stars (2026) Ridley Scott When I was choosing my Adaptation Appreciation books at the end of last year, Peter Heller’s The Dog Stars was in the running, purely off of the movie’s star power. I loved all three of the upcoming film’s leads and figured that, with Ridley Scott at the helm, this adaptation could hit pretty hard. I eventually sidestepped The Dog Stars book in favor of…

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 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…

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…

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma: Jane Schoenbrun Likes to Make My Brain Hurt
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) Jane Schoenbrun If I had a nickel for every 2026 summer movie that used an AC vent as a storytelling device, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird (nay, absolutely bonkers) that it happened twice. Given my disappointment with I Saw the TV Glow when I saw it in 2024, my expectations for Jane Schoenbrun’s next…

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…
