“The Devil Wears Prada 2” successfully revisits beloved characters, with Anne Hathaway’s Andy navigating the evolving fashion industry alongside Meryl Streep’s iconic Miranda. While it misses some of the original’s sharpness and features flat cinematography, the film maintains charm, appealing to nostalgic fans and offering insights into modern media culture.
Best way I can summarize this film is that I tapped my foot a lot, but don’t feel that I learned anything. “Michael” is the story of singer Michael Jackson’s, following his start as a child performer in the Jackson 5 to the peak of his fame in the 80s. Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson portrays… Continue reading ‘Michael’ Review: Good Songs and Thin Script
“Project Hail Mary,” directed by Lord and Miller, features Ryan Gosling as a biologist sent into space to save humanity from a dying sun. It’s visually impressive and showcases Gosling’s charm, though lacks emotional depth, failing to convey the high stakes of its plot.
“The Bride!” offers a unique take on the Frankenstein mythos, featuring Jessie Buckley as the titular character revived by a scientist in 1930s Chicago. While visually appealing and ambitious, the film struggles with its narrative coherence and leaves several threads unresolved, resulting in mixed results.
It’s like they say in “The Dark Knight:” you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the sort of film your franchise set out to make fun of. “Scream 7” is the seventh installment of the 30-year-old slasher franchise, and follows a new Ghostface killer targeting the family of Sidney… Continue reading ‘Scream 7’ Review: Some Fun, but Many Missed Opportunities
“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” serves as a sequel to the acclaimed “28 Years Later.” This installment shifts focus from zombies to the nature of evil within humanity. With standout performances from Jack O’Connell and Ralph Fiennes, the film offers intense sequences and a fresh take on the Rage Virus lore, continuing the franchise’s unpredictability.

Nick Nolte, Lakeith Stanfield, and Sissy Spacek also star, while Lynne Ramsay directs. 2025 has been a pretty darn good year for movies but it… Continue reading ‘Die My Love’ Review: A Deranged Glimpse into Parenthood
At this point, I’d be concerned if Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone made a film together that *wasn’t* unhinged. “Bugonia” is a remake of the 2003 film “Save the Green Planet!,” and follows two conspiracy theorists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) that kidnap a pharmaceutics CEO (Emma Stone), convinced that she is an alien planning… Continue reading ‘Bugonia’ Review: An Uncomfortable, Thrilling, and Funny Sign of the Times
This film is going to do numbers in high school history classes for years to come. “Nuremberg” is based on the infamous trials of the same name, which tried the Nazi high command following World War II. It follows a military psychiatrist (Rami Malek) who is tasked with determining the competence of German officials, including… Continue reading ‘Nuremberg’ Review: An Effective, If Not Uneven, Historical Drama
Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” featuring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, reimagines Mary Shelley’s classic with a visually stunning narrative rich in detail. While it has a few pacing issues, the film showcases emotional performances, particularly Elordi’s duality as the Creature. Though not del Toro’s best, it promises engaging revisits.
