How to Make a Killing likely won’t make a killing at the box office, but still worth checking out once it’s eventually streaming.

Goat has that same style as Spider-Verse and KPop Demon Hunters, giving us a vibrant (though familiar) world to explore.

Crime 101 had a lot of potential, undercut by poor casting and slow pacing. Still some redeeming qualities if you just want to see something in the theaters this weekend.

This movie has gotten very little buzz but if you’re interested in a romantic comedy that is both hilarious and heartwarming, this is it. Absolutely recommend.

The Wrecking Crew is a solid pick if you want some action and some laughs and happen to have Prime Video already.

As a Jason Statham movie, Shelter fails to meet expectations

Mercy is a decent time, I don’t think it’s the disaster that other critics are saying. Temper your expectations and maybe you’ll be surprised.

His & Hers is a short binge and a great choice for anyone looking for a wild mystery with a resolution that might be hard to believe.

Will Arnett gets a chance to shine here, in a surprisingly optimistic story about unhappiness and separation.

The Copenhagen Test is a unique, though complicated, story. If you can really focus on the first two episodes that set things in motion, you’ll be rewarded in the end.

Greenland 2: Migration is a sequel that I didn’t expect to get, but it’s surprisingly great?

Anaconda won’t win any awards but it’s a fun time and a creative way to reboot the franchise.

Pluribus is a fascinating show and a great first season. Perfect? No. It can be a slow burn and our lead is sometimes hard to watch, but I think the larger mystery and suspense makes the journey worthwhile.

The new Avatar: Fire and Ash is a great time at the movies, but focus more on the outstanding spectacle, as opposed to thinking about the repetitive story beats, weak dialogue, or missed opportunities with the cool new Na’vi tribe.

Hamnet is one of those movies that you only need to see once but it’s brilliant. It’s showing on very limited screens so if you’re interested in this, might be a trip for you.

Wake Up Dead Man is another amazing Knives Out mystery. You don’t need to see the others, so if you’re in the mood for a murder mystery and have Netflix, give this one a shot!

As I prepare this year’s “best of” list, here are 2024’s top ten. How many have you seen?

The Last Frontier started as an excellent first episode that slowly devolved into a rare AppleTV misfire.

Since I’ve been making top 10 lists, these are my number one picks from each year. What will top the list for 2025?

Eternity is a really interesting concept, pulled together in (almost) all the right ways.

Zootopia 2 doesn’t do anything especially revolutionary but it’s a solid time at the movies regardless. And stay through the credits for a hint of what’s to come in the third film.

All Her Fault is a great choice if you’re looking for a new quick binge and some solid mysteries.

Rental Family is one of the year’s best films, once again proving that Brendan Fraser is one of a kind.

Wicked: For Good is a necessary watch if you want closure, but go in knowing that the best is behind you.

Playdate is fine but I can’t recommend it over the many outstanding shows and movies you could be watching this weekend.

The Running Man is a high-octane adventure based on a scarily realistic potential future, anchored by a fun performance from Glen Powell. Recommended if you’re looking for something loud and fun on the big screen.

Frankenstein was a mixed bag. I think in a different movie, Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi would’ve really succeeded, but I think this movie’s inconsistent tone caused some unnecessary whiplash.

Predator: Badlands is a great outing, bringing a new energy and perspective to the franchise.

Task is an incredible show, with a very satisfying 7-episode binge.

Good Fortune works in every way, providing a lot of laughs and a lot of heart (mostly courtesy of Keanu Reeves).

Kiss of the Spider Woman is a great film, highlighted by our two leads Diego Luna and Tonatiuh. It’s best for those of you open to an artful and musical adventure that plays with our perceptions of reality.

Tron: Ares is a spectacle, if you want something to wow you. Once you start to pay attention to the story or characters though, it unfortunately starts to make less sense.

Roofman is a great outing, allowing Channing Tatum to show off both his comedic and dramatic chops.

The Smashing Machine is going to make Dwayne Johnson an award contender for sure, but I thought the movie around him wasn’t nearly as successful.

One Battle After Another is an absolute gem, blending great action, stellar performances, and a story that I wasn’t expecting. It may not be for everyone, but it’s probably for most of you!

Marvel Zombies is a really successful spinoff, giving us a creative look at an alternate MCU, though leading to a disappointing last few moments that sours the finale.

Alien: Earth is a creative take on the Alien franchise, while also being a great jumping on point for new fans.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey turned out to be a bit of a bust, falling flat for me.

The Long Walk is an interesting watch, anchored by a great cast. Where the road leads… might prove divisive.

The Roses is a fun comedy but it takes a little too long to hit its comedic potential, meaning some of you may find the pacing a little frustrating.

Caught Stealing releases next week and is a surprisingly approachable film from Darren Aronofsky, whose films are usually a little more divisive.

Nobody 2 is more of the same, but lacks the punch (intended) of the original. Still worth seeing for cool fights in cool places!

Surprise, the Amazon Prime Video version of War of the Worlds is not very good. Watch at your own risk!

Smoke is yet another worthy series to check out on Apple TV+.

Freakier Friday is fine, capitalizing on nostalgia but struggling to deliver decent jokes for most of its runtime.

Stick, Owen Wilson’s new AppleTV series, doesn’t make a super impressive debut season but it lays a foundation that I’d be interested to see more from.

Fantastic Four is good, not great, but still serves as a solid launching point for Marvel’s newest franchise and makes me hopeful for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

KPop Demon Hunters is something really unique and really special, managing to do everything right. Streaming now on Netflix!

If you’re looking for a solid and short mystery, Untamed will do it. It may not be entirely original but there’s plenty to really like!

@gameovergreggy.bsky.social Why did the kaiju toy from Superman have its guts spill out? Seems unnecessary.
