Run Hide Fight: Infidels (2026) - Rated 21 Sep 2026
It's a mashup of The Room and Birth of a Nation. Only those two movies aren't nearly as cringeworthy. Sweet Baby Jesus.

A Soldier's Story (1984) - Rated 06 Sep 2026
At times, it’s up there with In the Heat of the Night, with a plot where a cultured Black Northerner comes to the South to solve a murder. My problem is the stage play theatricality, particularly in the joyful, comedic, and musical moments, which don't translate well cinematically. Still, the social-thriller elements work, particularly in the racial components of the mystery. And Adolph Caesar is amazing, as evidenced by his being sampled by rappers and impersonated by Mos Def. Recommended.

Obsession (2026) - Rated 10 Aug 2026
As someone who isn't necessarily a fan of comedians becoming horror directors, I have to say this is a "good job, good" effort of a debut. The story gets enough out of the premise to make things cool even if the first two-thirds are a bit one-note and could mine the conflict for more creative tension. But that's made up for by the lead actress continually escalating things. I just wish there was some emotional reflection in the ending. Still, recommended & a good Double Bill with It Follows.

Scary Movie (2026) - Rated 08 Aug 2026
The Wayans are no Mel Brooks when it comes to spoofs--either in their reference pool or filmmaking skills. Still, I could forgive that if the film were like In Living Color's Men on Film sketches and poked fun at recent horror movie concepts & trends. But they often fall back on lame '90s subjects: sex, farts, weed, simplistic racial takes, and a dated OJ reference. It got 2 laughs out of me: a riff on a viral video and a trans kid insulting a villain. But that's not enough for a recommendation.

They Will Kill You (2026) - Rated 07 Aug 2026
It's a cute attempt to merge the horror of Get Out (but with class consciousness instead of race) and the action of Kill Bill. But it isn't as deep as either. The quiet drama scenes lack conviction, the interracial couple storyline is silly by comparison, and the Idiot Ball decisions had me yelling at the screen. I also don't buy the complications in the third act. At most, I'd give it a marginal recommendation to teenage boys for the first big fight & Zazie Beetz's gams. Otherwise, avoid.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) - Rated 30 Jul 2026
It doesn't feel like a Spider-Man movie--either as a comic adaptation or a continuation of the film series. Instead, it's Marvel's version of Stranger Things: with young people caught up in government conspiracies involving psychic powers. It's also overwrought, with too many characters (from earlier movies, MCU shows, and other franchises), no memorable action, and several predictable plot points. Based on the last film's ending, I went in with high expectations but walked out disappointed.

The Odyssey (2026) - Rated 16 Jul 2026
The reactionary online nerds are hating this movie's release for no reason. It's Nolan's Greatest Hits: artistic cross-cutting, Big Lies, cool action scenes, a great soundtrack, & fantastic visuals. More than any of his previous films, it has a deep message: it's a Spiritual Sequel to Oppenheimer, exploring the PTSD of creating a weapon of war & a society's rationale for using it. Plus, Matt Damon has three fantastic scenes. Highly recommended. I plan on seeing it in theaters again.

Supergirl (2026) - Rated 26 Jun 2026
Look, it's fun. The toxic fanboys on the internet are going to be upset that the storyline isn't centered around them or Sydney Sweeney isn't playing Supergirl. But that's their loss. It's a good mix of True Grit and Mad Max: Fury Road that shows a kid looking for revenge tagging along with a hero in a dystopian patriarchy. My only complaints are the lack of humor and only one exceptional fight scene. But it's good fun and has a nice pop-punk cover near the end. Recommended.

Forbidden Fruits (2026) - Rated 24 May 2026
I dug the premise and about two-thirds of the execution. At its best, it blends the dark satire of mean young women (like Heathers) with the feminist commentary of Rosemary’s Baby. The four leads are excellent, and I was into both the creative turns and its critique of how female friendships turn toxic. Then the final act starts and it abandons a supernatural tone for something that comes out of left field and an ending that was...odd. Still, it is bold and creative. Recommended.
