#NowWatching: THE ROSES In Dolby

CAUGHT STEALING suffers from complete tonal whiplash. The real saving grace is Austin Butler for carrying the material as best he could. Without him, the whole thing would fall apart much faster than it already does. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/08/29/c... #CaughtStealing

Fall film festival season is here! So I thought I'd run down my top 25 most anticipated movies playing at this year's major film festivals. silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/08/26/t... #Venezia82 #TellurideFilmFestival #TIFF50 #NYFF63

NE ZHA 2 is really that good! My review for the highest grossing animated film of all-time here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/08/21/n... #NeZha2

#NowWatching: NE ZHA 2 In IMAX 3D Saw it three times during its initial release, so curious to see how the English dub holds up.

HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is full of tremendous highs, with a small handful of lows. The ways in which Spike Lee deviates from Akira Kurosawa's HIGH AND LOW are absolutely thrilling. My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/08/14/h... #Highest2Lowest

#NowWatching: HIGHEST 2 LOWEST

FIXED is a mixed bag for me. It's fun when Genndy Tartakovsky leans into his chaotic absurdism, but it's attempts at shock value feel tired. Not as funny as SAUSAGE PARTY or STRAYS, but a more creative look at dog life than THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS. boxd.it/aIEExF

ICYMI: My review of WEAPONS, in theaters now. silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/08/06/w... I cannot stop thinking about this movie and how much I loved it! #WeaponsMovie

WEAPONS is a must-see horror event and one of the best films of the year so far. Go in knowing as little as possible! My spoiler-free review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/08/06/w... #WeaponsMovie

#NowWatching: WEAPONS Somehow managed to avoid all trailers for this movie!

I did not expect to be completely won over by THE BAD GUYS 2. The first one was solid fun, but this sequel is an improvement on every level. It made me excited to see more! boxd.it/aA3nnx

#NowWatching: THE BAD GUYS 2 In 3D

I'm bummed that TOGETHER wasn't my jam. Was really looking forward to this one. boxd.it/azWSa1

#NowWatching: TOGETHER

THE NAKED GUN is hilariously hilarious hilariousness. If I could give it 444¼ stars, I would. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/07/30/t... #TheNakedGun

#NowWatching: THE NAKED GUN

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS stops short from earning a fantastic four stars, but it does earn a recommendation. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/07/25/t... #TheFantasticFourFirstSteps

#NowWatching: THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS In Dolby (Also here for the AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH trailer)

#NowWatching: SUPERMAN Round 3 In IMAX Back in NY for my birthday so I figure I'd make the trip to the AMC Lincoln Square while I'm here!

I was not a fan of EDDINGTON, which can be best summed up as ‘member berries for 2020. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/07/18/e... #Eddington

#NowWatching: EDDINGTON

#NowWatching: SUPERMAN Round 2 In Dolby

"By the time we hear humanity across the globe call out for Superman, I was right alongside them, cheering him on." My ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review of SUPERMAN here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/s... #Superman

SUPERMAN lives! A blockbuster that fully embraces the playfulness and optimism of comic book origins. Yes, the action is ridiculous amounts of fun, but it's the heart that shines brightest. This is a Superman that perfectly embodies being both super *and* a hero. I loved it!

My quick thoughts tonight at midnight EST. Full review tomorrow at 3pm EST. #Superman

#NowWatching: SUPERMAN In IMAX

JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH may not be as atrocious as the other WORLD films, but only because it's not trying so hard. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/30/j... #JurassicWorldRebirth

SORRY, BABY is every bit as great as you have heard it is. One of the most harrowing, yet hopeful films of the year. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/27/s... #SorryBaby

ELIO is no WALL•E, but it is also no LIGHTYEAR. A charming family film even if it was more than capable of going to infinity and beyond. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/19/e... #Elio

#NowWatching: JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH In Dolby

28 YEARS LATER is a wild watch that refuses to play it safe with sequences that are destined to infect your mind for many days, weeks, and perhaps even years later. My spoiler-free review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/18/2... #28YearsLater

#NowWatching: ELIO In 3D

F1® THE MOVIE may not soar quite as high as TOP GUN: MAVERICK, but it is still a pulse pounding thrillride. My ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/17/f... #F1TheMovie

F1® THE MOVIE is a lot of fun. Joseph Kosinski brings his thrilling spectacle and fantastic understanding of stakes to the many riveting racing sequences spanning its admittedly overlong runtime. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it looks and sounds spectacular. Damson Idris!

#NowWatching: F1® THE MOVIE In Dolby

ICYMI: My review of MATERIALISTS, which hits theaters today. Celine Song follows up PAST LIVES with a moving, funny, thoughtful look at modern dating and the contrast between relationships as a transaction and as an emotional bond. silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/m... #Materialists

ICYMI: My review for the live-action remake of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, which opens in theaters today. It does not try to surpass the animated masterpiece, but proves that its beautiful story works no matter the medium. silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/h... #HowToTrainYourDragon

One of my favorite things to do every year is to predict the fall festival lineups. So this year, I wanted to look at *50* films that I think could show up at Venice, Telluride, TIFF, or NYFF. silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/5... I had so much fun putting this together!

Celine Song has a lot that she wants to tackle with MATERIALISTS and while not all of it comes together smoothly, it soars quite high when at its best. My ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/m... #Materialists

MATERIALISTS thoughtfully and sensitively explores relationships as a transaction and an emotional connection. Its resolution feels too neat, but Celine Song packs the film with a lot of heart and laughs. Loved the trio of performances, but Chris Evans in particular blew me away.

#NowWatching: MATERIALISTS

Yes, not all of it works. Yes, the original is much better. And yes, even in live-action, I still like HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. My ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/h... #HowToTrainYourDragon

No one does it like Chad Stahelski, and what a relief he came in to do whatever reshoots they needed to do on BALLERINA because it's all the better for it. My review here: silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/06/05/f... #BallerinaMovie

#NowWatching: BALLERINA In Dolby

#NowWatching: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON In IMAX

ICYMI: My review for THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, which hit limited release today and goes wide next Friday. Top-tier Wes Anderson and one of the best films of the year so far. silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/05/18/t... #ThePhoenicianScheme

ICYMI: My review of BRING HER BACK, which hits theaters today. A film where I really admire the craft and performances, but was so deeply disturbed by its pummeling bleakness that I felt numb by the time it was over. silverscreenxpress.wordpress.com/2025/05/16/b... #BringHerBack
