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…

Little Gold Man Watch — My Thoughts on the 2026 Oscars Animated Short Film Nominees
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. With a final push yesterday, my 2025 Oscars Death Race is complete! I got to see both the Live Action and Animated Short Film nominees in theaters yesterday afternoon, and with just a few hours until the Oscars start tonight, I’m pressed for time to get my thoughts on these short films out to you. In the order that I watched them, let’s move on to…

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…

Sirāt: Stress in the Key of EDM
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Sirāt (2025) Oliver Laxe There was good news and bad news as I headed into my showing of Sirāt today. The good: I’m almost done with my Oscars Death Race, and after Sirāt, there would only be one more loose end for me to find. The bad: I had to drive to north Dallas to see this, meaning I spent just as much time driving to and from the…

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert: An Electric Return to the Big Screen
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Baz Luhrmann Even with my various film checklists to work on, from Star Wars and Marvel to the Oscars Death Race, this weekend was still looking pretty bare. I didn’t care about Scream 7, so instead I took a swing on EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, which had been getting good enough reviews for me to consider. I remember enjoying Elvis back in 2022, and if this doc…
