4/5
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Robert Kojder There is nothing but burning love for EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert

1.5/5
I Can Only Imagine 2 (2026) Robert Kojder The Christian component of I Can Only Imagine 2 isn’t irksomehere; it’s the rest of the movie that is either off-putting, frustrating, confounding, cluttered, hokey, or boring with an overreliance on fictionalized concert performances

2.5/5
Cold Storage (2026) Robert Kojder This one should have remained in cold storage until a more visionary filmmaking team came around to really make the premise and characters pop

3/5
Crime 101 (2026) Robert Kojder Elevated by an all-star cast and solid filmmaking from Bart Layton, including spectacular, practically accomplished car chases punctuated by violent showdowns, there is just enough crime and substance to make it work

3/5
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Robert Kojder An experience as overstuffed as its clunky film title, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, that director Gore Verbinski almost makes something cohesive and epically satisfying out of this is a victory in itself

3/5
GOAT (2026) Robert Kojder Aside from the false advertising that the real GOAT, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, is nowhere to be found in a movie called GOAT, this one is mostly all net for Sony. It’s not GOATed but a winner nonetheless

3/5
Bride of Re-Animator (1990) Amie Cranswick Bride of Re-Animator is terrific fun and captures the manic spirit of the original, only slightly less so.

2.5/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Robert Kojder Emerald Fennell’s direction and the craft on display here are impeccably striking and beautiful, but it’s all in service to something emotionally flat and possibly afraid to live and die on the edge of bold as she has in the past

4/5
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Robert Kojder Nearly every sequence perfectly walks that line between stupidly and brilliantly uproarious

1.5/5
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Robert Kojder Thankfully, the journey is over for now, and we can become strangers to this failed series, erasing it from our minds
Posted Feb 07, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Moment (2026) Robert Kojder When the film is about artistic pressures, The Moment works, so it’s a shame that little else does, and no one who knew anything about the musician coming in will come away with anything more insightful, personally or professionally
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Whistle (2025) Robert Kojder Director Corin Hardy (and screenwriter Owen Egerton) blew it: Whistle, which unquestionably rips off other familiar horror ideas to an embarrassing degree, is terrible
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Solo Mio (2026) Robert Kojder The film marks a pleasant evolution in Kevin James’s talent, revealing a more sophisticated, softer, quieter, and emotional side
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Jimpa (2025) Robert Kojder The longer Jimpa goes on, the more it feels overstuffed with plot concepts and thematic ideas that are either discarded or never cohere into anything profound
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Dracula (2025) Robert Kojder The third act is by far the strongest aspect of Luc Besson’s #Dracula, as it wholeheartedly embraces doomed romanticism and expressions of centuries-long yearning. It’s a shame that the film doesn’t have much life until then
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Pillion (2025) Robert Kojder Erotic, amusing without condescension, and even sweet, Harry Lighton knows exactly what he wants to say about this kink scene, his characters, and what message to take
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Joybubbles (2026) Robert Kojder The unorthodox method of human connection on display is uniquely moving, as the documentary consistently feels as if it’s covering something greater than one man hacking telephones: a defiance of loneliness, ableism, and trauma
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Incomer (2026) Robert Kojder Welcome The Incomer with open arms, it’s a laugh-riot with earned emotions
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Bedford Park (2026) Robert Kojder Rarely does a film put as much thought and cultural complexity into why its central characters gravitate toward one another as co-editor/writer/director Stephanie Ahn’s Bedford Park
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Carousel (2026) Robert Kojder With far too many dreamlike montages of characters living their lives, some true messiness in the script, and perspective problems, Carousel gets stuck. The performances sometimes get it going again
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Chasing Summer (2026) Robert Kojder This mostly unfunny, far too broad, and rarely honest film never evolves beyond the joke of Iliza Shlesinger playing a walking disaster working in disaster relief
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) Robert Kojder The dramatic beats don’t always click, but it is vibrantly acted with equally rising musical numbers and undeniable inventiveness
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Union County (2026) Robert Kojder Adapting his short film into a narrative-docu-lite hybrid feature, writer/director Adam Meeks’ Union County is a sturdy story about the hardships of overcoming opioid addiction
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
zi (2026) Robert Kojder Aside from a couple of sweet moments here and there of authentic acting selling some of this connection alongside an inviting, picturesque depiction of Hong Kong, Zi is a meandering chore to get through
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
BURN (2026) Robert Kojder A bleakly authentic look at an unexplored Japanese subculture with, at times, a documentary-reminiscent aesthetic, writer/director Makoto Nagahisa’s depressingly moving Burn doesn’t hold back in its depiction of "Toyoko kids"
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Fing! (2026) Robert Kojder Fing! Has an off-putting start, but by the end, there is a total fing-clipse of the heart
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Take Me Home (2026) Robert Kojder It is unquestionably authentically portrayed and lived-in with a vital perspective and approach to different forms of caretaking, but it takes narrative shortcuts that feel unearned
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Josephine (2026) Robert Kojder Josephine is a shattering film in almost a million different ways, but one that sidesteps exploitation at every turn to consistently function as an engrossing, powerful look at both what trauma does to a child and their family

2.5/5
Send Help (2026) Robert Kojder Where this film eventually goes is diabolically fun with a legitimately terrific twist. Unfortunately, it needs help (either a rewrite or some cutting to a dull middle stretch of predictable mind games) to get there

Pike River (2025) Robert Kojder The film works much better when it sticks to community outrage

3.5/5
Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild] (2026) Robert Kojder There are emotional moments capturing heavy moments of repatriations, and an overall optimistic outlook despite a dehumanizing history of being denied repeatedly

3/5
Shelter (2026) Robert Kojder The latest from director Ric Roman Waugh and star Jason Statham, Shelter, is a fusion of their philosophies toward the action genre and what they do best

Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) Robert Kojder Everybody to Kenmure Street is a stirring look at what resistance looks like and what can be achieved through unity

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Robert Kojder All The Wrecking Crew does is repeatedly damage itself, destined to be another forgotten big-budget waste of algorithmic streaming space

3.5/5
The Last First: Winter K2 (2026) Robert Kojder This is another spectacular accomplishment in this subgenre visually, but this time, there isn’t much of a happy ending. It isn’t trying to give viewers a similar high, but also a reality check
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Shitheads (2026) Robert Kojder Every time writer/director Macon Blair throws a new wrinkle into the plotting of The Shitheads, sometimes switching up subgenres entirely as he is typically known to do, there are diminishing returns from the outrageously funny first act

3/5
Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) Robert Kojder It’s a hoot with a brilliant body-horror/comedy metaphor and some endearing practical effects

Mercy (2026) Robert Kojder A morally repugnant thrill ride

2/5
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Robert Kojder Director Christophe Gans understands Silent Hill so arrestingly and vividly when it comes to visual nightmare fuel that it makes it all the more frustrating that, with this story, he still doesn’t "get" what he is adapting

In Cold Light (2025) Robert Kojder Underwritten doesn’t even begin to describe it

3.5/5
The Rip (2026) Robert Kojder More than a gift to see Ben Affleck and Matt Damon reunited on screen, this is a genius stroke of casting for writer/director Joe Carnahan’s paranoia-laced crime thriller The Rip that, well, rips
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Night Patrol (2025) Robert Kojder Although the gore effects are impressive, Night Patrol is a scattered mess, sometimes too comfortable switching perspectives, even if it means killing off a main character, simply because the filmmakers have no idea what else to do with them
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Robert Kojder 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a sadistically violent bloodbath, but one with substance, unsettling beauty, feeling, and some left-field showstopping sequences as worthy as what was tonally teased
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
All You Need Is Kill (2025) Robert Kojder This take on All You Need Is Kill opts to ride the wave of the action-oriented high-concept premise for all its worth, with little story pauses and maximum thrills, aided by resplendent animation
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Killer Whale (2026) Robert Kojder Killer Whale doesn’t work as an entertaining creature feature or as a character study of grief and trauma

The Magnificent Seven (1960) Brad Cook If you haven’t seen it and you enjoy westerns and/or Kurosawa’s samurai films, you should check it out.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) EJ Moreno A perfect zombie movie, brimming with both brutality and beauty, has emerged as an early contender for one of the best horror films of 2026.

Stand by Me (1986) Oli Davis The child cast are faultless throughout.

Sleepwalker (2026) Robert Kojder By itself, sleepwalking is a frightening condition posing several possibilities for endangerment. That’s one way of saying Sleepwalker doesn’t need all the absurd nonsense writer/director Brandon Auman has in store
Posted Jan 10, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Robert Kojder The chemistry and charm from the performances rise above the familiarity of the plot. People We Meet on Vacation is both a rom-com throwback and one that uses its clichés as a strength, even for cynics coming in
