EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “It’s the energy, the excitement, the emotional mojo of watching Elvis so clearly, so up close and personal, curling his lips into that megawatt smile and making you feel like you’re right there with him. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 60% 3/5 EDIT “An overheated, overcooked, overstuffed and overwrought exercise in campy style over solid substance, a toxic-relationship tale pairing an eye-candy couple of Hollywood hotties.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Still Hope (2026) 2/5 EDIT “By dividing screen time between Hope’s hellish ordeal and her victory-in-Jesus recovery, the movie feels like a TV crime procedural sandwiched between slabs of church-pew homilies, kinda like a 'CSI: Sunday School.' ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “An immersive, hyper-visual, wildly imaginative arthouse-movie experience, suggesting that watching a film is a lot like dreaming, seeing into other worlds, viewing experiences that aren’t our own.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Jan 20, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Scratch your head-banging zombie itch with a big-screen toast from a goblet of plague-fest freakshow grog in yet another tale of unhinged terror set in a gritty Brit-centric future that’s a million miles away from Downton Abbey.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “It’s all fast, fun and friskily a-swirl with surprises. Like a game of pong, you never know just how, or where, the balls are going to bounce.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “"Amanda Seyfried gives her all here, pouring herself into the character of the 'woman preacher' whose zealotry launched dozens of Shaker communities with thousands of followers."” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “A Christmastime gem of a musical biopic to lift your holiday spirits, get your toes tapping, and make you smile through the melancholy…even if you don’t know your Neil Diamond from your Neil Sedaka. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “It's a mega-load of deep-dish sci-fi on steroids, but it also has some resonant real-world themes about spirituality, family, the mysteries of nature and creatures great and small. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 16, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “Steamy little potboiler pries open a Pandora's box of secrets and sets up a tangled romantic triangle built on lies, schemes, sex, misdirection and manipulation. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A story of love, anguish, grief and guilt, all ultimately channeled—plausibly enough—into a towering work of art, a tragedy that becomes a triumph.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Zesty afterlife romcom makes you laugh, makes you think, tugs at your heartstrings and sends you home with a smile.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hits home with its themes of loneliness and emotional need, wherever home might happen to be, and whether we need a bit of drama to spice up our lives or just "someone to look us in the eye and show us we exist."” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Another explosion of expensive-looking color and visual wowza, filled with songs and powerhouse performances sure to become new faves for faithful fans.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “A wonderfully woven story about life’s wide-ranging journey, told through an inside-Hollywood prism. Clooney is charming and spot-on-perfect, but Sandler is a revelation. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 19, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “Its high-octane mix of satire, drama, cautionary-tale messaging and explosive action doesn’t always mesh. It sometimes feels like 'Blade Runner' crossed with 'Mission: Impossible' and 'Survivor,' with a razzle-dazzle-y dab of 'America’s Got Talent.'” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3/5 EDIT “This durable movie property reappears yet again to remind us just how much razzmatazz entertainment can be found in a star-packed bag of tricks. ” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 11, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “A visually splendid, fabulously engaging “kids adventure” with a surprising amount of heart.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “With this impressive retooling, the epic, time-honored tale of Mary Shelly—and its messages about men and monsters, and playing God—lives on, in gloriously grand fashion. And it may just break your heart.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 2/5 EDIT “The original 'Black Phone' was a big box-office success. But maybe it was best just to let it rest in peace, rather than bring it back with a story that feels like a strained hodgepodge of horror-show cliches and stereotypes.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 15, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 3/5 EDIT “It’s not a feel-good movie, by any means. It challenges you to watch, listen, think and stew along with its characters.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 14, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “A colossally jarring wake-up call about the fragility of our very existence…and about a time—and a day, in a span of minutes—that we can only hope never comes.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Most strikingly, it shows how Dwayne Johnson has found the other side of the showbiz coin, as a serious actor in a substantial role, a smashing success at playing a real person instead of exaggerated, often cartoonish caricatures.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Oct 1, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 3/5 EDIT “A clash of the titans, a gladiatorial battle to the death, an angels-and-demons war exposing the ruthless soul of a sport that many Americans openly “worship.” And somehow, it makes sports mascots even creepier than they already are.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “A posh, sumptuous-looking period piece festooned with rich details...a fancy ball, a day at the races and a county fair where the two “classes” meet on common ground, a merry-go-round movie metaphor as Great Britain heads into its future.” – Neil's Entertainment Picks Sep 10, 2025 Full Review
