The Death of Robin Hood: An Emotional Turnaround A Bit Too Late
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Death of Robin Hood (2026) Michael Sarnoski No matter what movie I saw today, it was going to be hard for it to follow Toy Story 5, which I absolutely adored. The challenger up to that task was The Death of Robin Hood, which I foolishly prepared for last week by rewatching the original animated Robin Hood. I could’ve gleaned this from the trailer, but these two Robin…

Toy Story 5: Holding On and Letting Go (for Kids!)
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Toy Story 5 (2026) Andrew Stanton The Toy Story franchise has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember—Sammy and I had Woody and Buzz toys as kids—and I’d also confidently say the original Toy Story trilogy is one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time. My feelings on Toy Story 4 had teetered between “great but unnecessary” and “antithetical to Woody as a character” since it…

Power Ballad: John Carney Strikes Another Chord
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Power Ballad (2026) John Carney If you follow the Nate at the Movies website closely, you’d know that I actually intended to watch Power Ballad on Tuesday, but my stomach decided that wasn’t going to happen. Luckily, I’m on summer break, so pivoting to a new day and showtime was easy-peasy. I was excited for Power Ballad because of how much I adore Sing Street, and I figured that with Paul…

Pressure: Weather or Not to Storm the Beaches
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Pressure (2026) Anthony Maras There wasn’t going to be a single thing I could do today to get that heart-wrenching Spurs loss out of my mind, not the least of which a new WWII movie in theaters, but that didn’t stop me from ending up there today. I didn’t have too many expectations for Pressure, but I figured it would be decent if Andrew Scott and Brendan…

Disclosure Day: We Came in Peace a Long Time Ago
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Disclosure Day (2026) Steven Spielberg For the uninitiated, alongside my Letterboxd, I also have a website—Nate at the Movies—where I post all my reviews. We’re slowly (and I mean slowly) building a following, but more importantly, my website earned me a coveted spot in the North Texas Film Critics Association, which I have loved being a part of. I’ve gotten to meet with people who share…

Masters of the Universe: Nicholas, Jared, and Travis Have the Power!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Masters of the Universe (2026) Travis Knight I told you I was scheduling a lot of movies! I remember when Masters of the Universe was first announced a few years ago; I immediately added it to my watchlist, only after asking, “What’s Masters of the Universe?”. I didn’t ever watch the show as a kid, but I knew who He-Man and Skeletor were in the same way that I…

Tuner: A Music Fan’s Dream and Nightmare
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Tuner (2025) Daniel Roher I’m back in Fort Worth, so you know what that means: let’s schedule an insane number of new movies to go see! First up was Tuner, which looked cheesy the first time I saw the trailer and then more legitimately interesting every time I saw the trailer after that. From the outside, it seemed like this movie was made for me, given its…

Scary Movie (2026): Legacy Characters and References and Meta Humor, Oh My!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Scary Movie (2026) Michael Tiddes If you made me bet at the beginning of the week which of the June 5 theatrical releases I’d see first, I would’ve lost all my money. There was no way I thought Scary Movie would be first off the list, but here we are. Sammy—who I’ve learned watched at least three of the Scary Movies—and I ventured to my favorite Regal to take…
