Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 84% C+ EDIT “There are...some choice bits along the way.... But it's less clever than it aims to be, and in the end proves somewhat more grueling than amusing.” – One Guy's Opinion Feb 13, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 81% C EDIT “Aspires to be a slam-dunk celebration of b-ball that’s both soulful and fun, but its familiar themes and overjuiced style make for a middling kidflick. ” – One Guy's Opinion Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 60% C EDIT “The fabled romance of Catherine and Heathcliff boiled down to its simplest form and served up with more flash and relish than genuine passion. ” – One Guy's Opinion Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 60% C- EDIT “It doesn’t go for a tongue-in-cheek feel in revisiting the teens-in-supernatural-danger template.... But despite the straightforward approach, you’ll probably find yourself laughing at it. ” – One Guy's Opinion Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 52% C EDIT “While Besson’s movie is certainly not faithful to its source, his wacky reimagining of the old story is at least different....it wallows in lushness and Gothic romanticism, and ends up rather turgid, more goofy than scary. ” – One Guy's Opinion Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Teacher's Pet (2025) C EDIT “Like a Lifetime movie on steroids, [it] takes the old standby plot of an educator obsessing over a student but ratchets it up several notches.” – One Guy's Opinion Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% C EDIT “A step up from Statham’s recent solo vehicles, but it’s still just a routine actioner whose predictable beats aren’t sufficiently offset by the interesting locations. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% B EDIT “Sam Raimi returns to his gonzo, blood-drenched roots with this horror comedy...which twists a premise that might have served for a bland romantic comedy into something ghoulishly funny.” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% B EDIT “An engaging recreation of a truly strange episode in American criminal and broadcast history...though it’s a bit anonymous from the perspective of [Van Sant's] best work, it’s still mightily enjoyable. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% B+ EDIT “A harrowing recreation of an episode that encapsulates the horror that the Israeli reaction to Hamas’ brutal attacks of October 7 unleashed on the population of Gaza...the visceral power... is undeniable. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% C+ EDIT “Stunning, but one can be stunned into either admiration or stupefaction.... But love it or hate it, you’ll probably be fascinated by its self-indulgent eccentricity. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Magellan (2025) 88% C EDIT “The sort of film that’s easier to respect as an expression of a directorial point of view than respond to as a satisfying historical drama...the static mise-en-scène and turgid pacing can be positively suffocating. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 26, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% B+ EDIT “Raw and passionate filmmaking, accomplished under conditions those of us in what purports still to be a democracy can barely understand.” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% D EDIT “The pacing...is relentless—understandable given the need to obscure the utter implausibility of the plot...By riding roughshod over the logical absurdities Bekmambetov and his troika of editors aim to divert viewers from realizing how ridiculous [it] is. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 22, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% C EDIT “A handsome but misguided misfire, a comic thriller that works as neither....It’s debatable whether [it] will make you laugh or simply squirm in discomfort. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% C- EDIT “Except for a stellar but indifferently used cast, Joe Carnahan’s movie is a totally undistinguished specimen of a tired genre.” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 19, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% B+ EDIT “A franchise that, in this reboot phase, has actually improved substantially over the original two installments. 'The Bone Temple' is so satisfying that it makes one look forward to another helping in the series.” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 68% B EDIT “An elegiac tribute to the transcendent power of music in the most terrible of times...Bennett’s facility in amusing dialogue and Hytner’s skill with his cast make the film both charming and poignant. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 89% B- EDIT “[An] unfussy but affecting drama...bolstered by strong performances from newcomer Shou and particularly Liu.” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% B EDIT “There have been many films about bullying, but few have gotten quite so far under the skin as this dark fantasy about the cruelty perpetrated by adolescent boys at a sports camp.” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 7, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% B- EDIT “A contemplative reflection on the relationship between the "undead" and those who have survived the catastrophe that created them...a mournful take on troubled survival rather than a scare-fest. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% B+ EDIT “Material that could be dismissed in other hands as soap operatic...because of Trier’s lucid writing and probing direction, and the collaboration of an exceptional cast,...becomes a remarkably moving experience.” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% C+ EDIT “Sweet but rather sappy... The initial chapters are amusing, if lightweight, and...rather touching. But in the last half hour the assault on the tear ducts grows overwrought, and the film becomes cloying and maudlin. ” – One Guy's Opinion Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% B+ EDIT “Always compelling, sometimes diverting and genuinely surprising,,..Mendonça’s film makes a striking, if very different, complement to Walter Salles’ 'I’m Still Here,' also set in the days of the Brazilian military dictatorship.” – One Guy's Opinion Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% C EDIT “While the zest Jackman and Hudson bring to [Diamond's] songs is infectious...the beats and plot turns are so contrived and melodramatic that the picture strains credulity from start to finish.” – One Guy's Opinion Dec 25, 2025 Full Review
