‘The Social Reckoning’ Review: Facebook Sequel Hits Enough of the Right Notes
As far as legacy sequels go, it doesn’t get much more high-pressure than following up one of the greatest films of all-time. “The Social Reckoning” is a standalone sequel (being marketed as a “companion piece”) to the 2010 film “The Social Network,” and follows the 2021 Facebook leak by employee Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison). Jeremy Allen White…
‘Digger’ Review: Tom Cruise Leads a Messy but Ambitious Satire
For as divisive as this film will inevitably be, it’s just nice to see Tom Cruise doing some non-blockbuster acting again. “Digger” follows an oil tycoon (Tom Cruise) who races to control the narrative after one of his rigs causes a global catastrophe.

‘Primetime’ Review: Another Amusing Performance from Pattinson
When we look back at Robert Pattinson’s 2026, it will be cited alongside Jim Carrey’s 1994 and Thomas Mitchell’s 1939 as one of the most successful single years an actor has ever produced. “Primetime” follows the television host Chris Hansen (Robert Pattinson) as he tries to get his show “How to Catch a Predator” to the…
‘Practical Magic 2’ Review: Not Enough Charm to Justify Returning
A nearly 30-years-later sequel to an already not-that-great first film; what can go wrong? “Practical Magic 2” is the sequel to the 1998 cult classic, and features Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprising their roles of the witch Owens sisters. Still under the curse that traps the women of the family to never find love, the…
