I Swear is funny, heartfelt, and deeply human. Robert Aramayo delivers a performance full of honesty and respect, bringing a powerful story about living with Tourette’s to life. My review 👇 #ISwearMovie thecinemen.com/2026/04/24/i...

A bomb. A heist . And a whole lot of double- crosses. fuse keeps you guessing and builds real tension- even if it doesn’t quite stick the landing. My review 👇 #FuzeMovie thecinemen.com/2026/04/24/f...

Mother Mary comes alive like a dream as it is visually intoxicating and honestly, haunting as it feels like ever minute of this film is carefully crafted as it finds ways to explore unresolved pain in the most beautiful way #MotherMary

Desert Warrior looks like a classic epic-huge scale , real stunts, and a massive third act. The journey there is a bit slow, but the finale makes it worth it. My review 👇#DesertWarrior thecinemen.com/2026/04/23/d...

#MichaelMovie delivers the music and moments-but not much beneath the surface. Jaafar Jackson shines, but the film plays it safe when it should dig deeper. my review 👇 thecinemen.com/2026/04/22/m...

#MichaelMovie is for the fans, as there are moments that make you want to dance in the aisle, and while Jaafar Jackson is great , once you get past the feel good moments, the movie becomes shallow, and lacks any humanity, and never reaches the nights of its subject.

I really hope this is the Thriller that I want it to be, if not I will beat it out of here #NowWatching. #Michael

In this edition of Criterion Corner we journey to the mysterious island of Dr. Moreau filled with manimals, mad scientists, the panther lady, and Bela Lugosi! Join me on “Island of Lost Souls”, the best adaptation of the classic H.G. Wells novel. thecinemen.com/2026/04/17/c...

Bob Odenkirk, action star , just keeps working , Normal is funny , brutal, and a fresh spin on a familiar formula. Not perfect , but Odenkirk makes it a blast. my review 👇 #NormalMovie thecinemen.com/2026/04/17/n...

The Mummy looks great , but for all it does visually , it really doesn’t do much more than that ,as it lacks in scares and the narrative is spotty at best , and while it is a nasty movie , in the best ways , its over stuff runtime and other faults make it hard to get behind.

Thrash delivers exactly what it promises- hurricanes,sharks,and chaos. Easy, entertaining fun. My review 👇 #Thrash thecinemen.com/2026/04/10/t...

Riz Ahmed goes all in with Hamlet-raw,intense, and hard to look away from. The film isn’t always visually smooth , but the performance alone makes it worth seeing. My review👇 #Hamlet thecinemen.com/2026/04/10/h...

It’s formulaic,sure- but You, Me and Tuscany still works. Charming leads, beautiful setting , and just enough heart to win you over. My review 👇#YouMe&Tuscany thecinemen.com/2026/04/10/y...

Faces of Death is a rather satisfying reboot and while It is a little light on the gore , it still delivers a visceral experience that has some effective moments that really has a lot to say about what social media has done to our society. #FacesofDeath

The Drama has a cloud of unease that hangs around it, though most of its runtime and while the movie never goes fully into its premise , it is bound to set up some fabulous conversations after the credits roll. #TheDrama

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is filled with nostalgic references , and an all star cast , as the movie reminds me of a jelly doughnut, with too much jelly , sure it gets messy , but in the end you are still eating a jelly doughnut, and that’s a hell of a lot of fun .

I did now expect Mike&Nick&Nick&Alice to work , but does it ever . This film really is a blast and balances the fun and action very well, but what makes it work so well is the cast, but for me Jimmy Tato steals the show . #MikeNickNickAlice

Pretty Lethal has some pretty impressive action scenes , there ultimately doesn’t feel like the movie has much direction and lacks really any foundation to support what it wants to be  ,and instead of something flawless, we get we get something that mostly feels out of stepped #PrettyLethal

They Will Kill You is messy,violent,and ridiculously entertaining. Zazie Beetz =total badass. my review 👇 #TheyWillKillYou #MovieReviews #FilmTwitter thecinemen.com/2026/03/26/t...

Beast Race is bold, action-packed, and easy to get wrapped up in. The races are electric and the world-building really shines. My review 👇 #SXSW #FilmReview thecinemen.com/2026/03/20/b...

Undertone is a slow burn , that really pays with its final act ,this movie is simple and I love everything that Tuason squeezes out of this as he maximizes the sound design to take you to dark places , and making you afraid of the dark just a little more .

I got to sit down with Brian Tetsuro Ivie about his new film Anima , that premiered at #SXSW , you can watch that interview 👇 thecinemen.com/2026/03/20/i...

Project Hail Mary blends heart and big ideas into one grand cinema spectacular as the combination of a thrilling and entertaining story with a performance by Gosling , that proves he is the movie star we need , all together it equals a move experience you must have #ProjectHailMary

What if the “college experience” isn’t about partying-but figuring yourself out ? Poetic license surprised me , funny,warm,and more heartfelt than I expected. Leslie Mann is fantastic. My review 👇 #SXSW #FilmTwitter #MovieReview thecinemen.com/2026/03/19/p...

I love the effort put into And Her Body Was Never Found , and it really is something to go completely blind into , and it is filled with tension and is such a unique film, that is is sure to leave you your own questions in the end. #sxsw

Poetic License is a refreshing and ambitious rom-com, that feels genuine with is funny and heartfelt story how it is never too late to reinvent yourself. The cast is fantastic , especially Mann, who shines so brightly is this movie that has something for everyone. #sxsw #PoeticLicense

Odenkirk shows who’s boss in Ben Wheatley’s latest Normal, as it’s as funny as it’s bloody , and while there might not be much depth , the fun time and the action , lead to a breezy good time at the movies. #sxsw #Normalmovie

The premise really stands out in Wishful Thinking , and thanks to Pullman and Hawke are spectacular and when you add the the comedic beats, you get something that is quite fresh and charming ,but it’s the romance that stays with you the most #sxsw

Chasing Summer is a fun throwback rom-com that while its narrative can be all over the place at times , works because Shlesinger is so damn charming and funny in it, and proves you can still and a fresh feeling story about going home . #sxsw

They Will Kill You is equally fun and weird, as Beetz gives quite the physical performance, and while you see the Influences of Samurai movies, it makes its own path , and delivers one hell if a cinema ride #sxsw #TheyWillKillyou

Leviticus uses horror to explore something deeply personal-and it works. It’s tense,emotional,and at times hard to watch, but in the best way. A story about identity,faith,and fear that lingers long after it ends. Review 👇 #sxsw #leviticus thecinemen.com/2026/03/17/l...

Beast Race is Brazilian Hunger Games, but with a lot more action, as contestants have to punch and parkour their way to victory, the action set pieces are great l, and while the slow downs bring the movie down a little , the entertainment never stops #sxsw

He Bled Neon glows in neon and has one of the better opening credits sequences I have seen in awhile , and while it starts off like a rocket ship , it starts to hit some bumps with its final act, but even with that , Kirsch shows plenty of promise #sxsw

Buddy is weird and fun horror movie that you will likely not forget, as it’s often hilarious, and at times unsettling , and while it might be imperfect, and has quite a few uneven patches , it’s worth the time , if anything just to say you saw it. #sxsw #buddymovie

A stoner comedy about two college kids trying to go down two flights of stairs to pick up a pizza? Yeah .. I was in immediately. Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney’s Pizza Movie is chaotic,ridiculous,and consistently throwing jokes at the wall my review 👇 thecinemen.com/2026/03/16/p...

Never After Dark reminds us , how great a good ghost story can be, as this slow burn delivers the chills that somehow delvers with the unexpected , including a movie that looks good and a stand out lead performance #sxsw #NeverAfterDark

Anima is a movie that is full of introspection and empathy while being filled with genuine human emotion, that also comes with some great needle drops and gorgeous cinematography   As this is a movie for the now , one that reminds us of the importance of of human connection. #sxsw #Animamovie

Drag could have easily been a one note movie , but thanks to come great chemistry by Caplan and DeVito and the sustained tension and edgy humor , the movie never drags , but instead delivers one entertaining movie . #sxsw #dragmovie

It looks like the Bacons had one hell of a good time making Family Movie and that good time is shared with the audience, as it knows what it wants to be and really delivers both the blood and the laughs , as this is meta horror done the right way #sxsw #FamilyMovie

Over Your Dead Body is one of those remakes that is actually as good as the original , thanks to a great cast and its ability to balance the any laugh out loud moments with gore and grit. #sxsw #overyourdeadbody #ifc

Some movies feel like a warm hug.John Carney’s Power Ballad is full of great music,charm,and heart. Another reminder that nobody blends story and song quite like he does. My review 👇 #sxsw #powerballad thecinemen.com/2026/03/15/p...

Leviticus is a tense and atmospheric that can be very unsettling, but still pack a emotional punch , as this coming of age horror film knows what it wants to do and delivers in that and not only will it scare you , it will spark some great conversations as well . #sxsw #leviticus

Brian is a heart warming and laugh out loud funny , as it knows exactly the coming of age story it wants to tell and it does it really well l, with Ben Wang giving an brilliant performance, don’t miss this one . #sxsw #brianmovie

The Saviors has a “ Burbs” vibe to it and Adam Scott and the always magnificent Danielle Deadwyler are all they can be , and while there are things that work , it ultimately takes too long to get where it wants to go, that ultimately weighs the movie down. #sxsw

Pizza Movie is the perfect movie to put on with your friends and just let it engulf you and go for the ride , as it never pretends to be anything more than a good stoner movie, one that feels fresh, that will leave you both laughing and wanting to order pizza after. #sxsw #pizzamovie

There are few,if anyone doing horror better than Damian MaCarthy,and with Hokum he delivers the gothic scares you want that will only serve as nightmare fuel as you will never look at dark hallways the same ever again. #hokum #sxsw

Relationships are messy. Joe Swanberg’s The Sun Never Sets leans right into that mess. Anchored by a fantastic Dakota Fanning performance,it’s raw and honest look at love,doubt,and the moments that change everything. My review 👇 thecinemen.com/2026/03/14/t...

Boots Riley doesn’t make movies ..he makes experiences. I Love Boosters is chaotic,funny,political,messy,and completely its own thing.I walked out not even sure if I liked it ..but hours later I couldn’t stop thinking about it. My review 👇 #sxsw thecinemen.com/2026/03/13/i...

After three Colleen Hoover adaptations, I’m starting to see the pattern. Reminders of Him wants to be a powerful story about grief and redemption… but ends up feeling like a melodrama that doesn’t trust its audience. Maika Monroe deserves better 👇 thecinemen.com/2026/03/13/r...

Eriupcja is breezy with its no frills story as it takes on on a adventure through Warsaw via its own character turmoil and its beautiful and feels quite genuine and i love. how it all comes together by the end #sxsw
