Kokuho: In Pursuit of Greatness, for the Umpteenth Time
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Kokuho (2025) Sang-il Lee Another Saturday, another extended drive to catch a film showing nowhere near me. Last week it was Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, and today it was Kokuho, which I knew literally nothing about going in. Just before the movie started, I saw that it had a 3-hour runtime, which made me only a little nervous, and while I definitely felt that runtime,…

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…

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie: F is for Friends Who Make Absolute Cinema
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Matt Johnson Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was the third film of my historic film-watching weekend, and it was the one that popped up on my radar the latest. It’s 4.4 rating on Letterboxd was striking, to say the least, and the trailer looked funny, so I drove all the way to Denton to see it—that was…

GOAT: Steph Curry 4, LeBron James 1
GOAT (2026) Tyree Dillihay Day 2 of the Valentine’s Day Weekend Theater Crawl has come and gone, and GOAT was second on the docket. I’d actually become more and more excited about this one since it was announced last year. At that point, it seemed gimmicky and simple, but my tune changed once I turned my brain back on and remembered that Sony’s has been on fire lately. With their stellar, experimental…

Wuthering Heights: Steamy, Surreal, and A Bit Short of “Heights”
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wuthering Heights (2026) Emerald Fennell Pardon the wordplay, but my Valentine’s Day Weekend is about to be a movie. Starting tonight, I’m seeing a 2026 release every day of this weekend through Monday, and Wuthering Heights had the distinct honor of going first. Liz and Gabe joined us for this one—we’ve earned quite the reputation for roping them into weird movies—and while I certainly enjoyed Wuthering Heights, it sounded…

The Secret Agent: Style, Substance, and Struggling to Synthesize
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Secret Agent (2025) Kleber Mendonça Filho After seeing Arco at the Cinépolis in Euless yesterday, I guess I could’ve just stayed there overnight, because my next movie started 17 hours later in the auditorium across the hall! No one joined me this time for The Secret Agent, but I am proud to say that, even with little fanfare, I have now seen all of the 2026 Best Picture…

Arco: A Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Arco (2025) Ugo Bienvenu After my depressing trip to Dallas earlier today for The Voice of Hind Rajab, I needed a cinematic pick-me-up, and Arco with Liz and Gabe was the perfect prescription. I’d had this movie on my watchlist since like September, so it was great to finally see it and check off the last of the Best Animated Feature nominees for this year. I’m glad to report…
