Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 20, 2026 3/5 I Have Proof takes the Frailty approach of addressing whether Alex is crazy and this is all in his head or if it's legitimate. It features some gnarly appendage removal and a predictable ending that is still somewhat satisfying. Go to Full Review I Have Proof (2026) 92% - -

Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 20, 2026 4.5/5 You Can See Everything is genuinely tense and deceptively riveting. It takes the audience on a remarkable journey full of outrageous revelations, and yet the biggest secrets are never revealed. Go to Full Review You Can See Everything (2026) 98% - -

Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 18, 2026 3/5 The film prioritizes Elliot mending his relationship with Cath over establishing a terrifyingly palpable atmosphere or a high body count. For the sake of the story, it makes sense, but it causes the film to suffer when it comes to being memorable. Go to Full Review Play House (2026) 100% - -

Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 16, 2026 3/5 Kung Fu Deadly is an action comedy that doesn't quite work. The humor caters to immaturity but never gets past silly, forgettable moments. Most action sequences are edited in a way to make it look like characters hit someone when they likely didn't. Go to Full Review Kung Fu Deadly (2026) - - - -

Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 10, 2026 2.5/5 Beware Boiúna is chock-full of jerky camera movements jittering to an obnoxiously loud sound mix. At least it isn't stingy when it comes to butchering people in countless slimy and slithery ways. Go to Full Review Beware Boiúna (2026) 58% - -

Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 10, 2026 4/5 Most of McDonagh's films have had a mean or sad streak buried under their comedy. Wild Horse Nine is a solid balance of both, but it also feels like a strange appreciation of life. Go to Full Review Wild Horse Nine (2026) 93% - -

Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 10, 2026 4/5 The film utilizes what made the games so entertaining and memorable, but it revolves around a unique story with original characters. Meanwhile, the film is horror on the surface, but it's also funny, has a lot of action, and is incredibly thrilling. Go to Full Review Resident Evil (2026) 96% - -

Chris Sawin Bounding Into Comics Oct 10, 2026 2/5 Digger is brilliant when it comes to its artistry, craftsmanship, and powerfully magnetic performances. But it is purposely disjointed and awkwardly paced. It is heartbreaking to say that Digger isn’t worth the braggadocious journey. Go to Full Review Digger (2026) 53% - -

Chris Sawin Video Librarian Magazine Oct 6, 2026 3/5 Judith Barsi is tragically exceptional, as she outshines everyone in the film with her charm and innocence. The ending basically rips your heart out, and All Dogs Go to Heaven is more memorable because of it. Go to Full Review All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) 48% 63%

Chris Sawin Bounding Into Comics Oct 6, 2026 4.5/5 The clunky ending does drop its otherwise action-packed masterpiece status down slightly, but Hope effortlessly blends so many genres with stellar performances, impressive gore, and intensely riveting action sequences.

Chris Sawin Bounding Into Comics Sep 12, 2026 2/5 Tokyo Burst: Crime City feels like a bland imitation of The Roundup with off-brand action flavor. As a film, Tokyo Burst is watchable, but it lacks the extravagant and captivating asskickery that makes The Roundup films so awesome. Go to Full Review Tokyo Burst (2026) - - - -

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 28, 2026 4.5/5 As a horror film, it feels fresh and original with not only its comedic roots and psychological elements but also because it thrusts the audience into a bloodthirsty wonderland ruled by a demented orange unicorn eager to twist your head off.

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 26, 2026 2.5/5 Legend of the White Dragon capitalizes on Green and White Ranger nostalgia and turns it into something new. But the film is plagued by stiff acting, a familiar superhero story, and the tease of a franchise that will never properly materialize. Go to Full Review Legend of the White Dragon (2024) 8% - -

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 24, 2026 1/5 The only thing worse than Steven Seagal slapping dudes in the middle of karate chops, looking up in slow-motion, and Ja Rule's obvious stunt double that cleary isn't him is Seagal's durag that nobody ever acknowledges.

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 19, 2026 3/5 Coyote vs. ACME is worthwhile for its ingenuity in both its homage to old cartoons and its clever storytelling, and seeing where your favorite Looney Tunes character fits into this wacky universe. Go to Full Review Coyote vs. Acme (2026) 96% - -

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 14, 2026 1.5/5 Old man butt cheeks and a pretty view are all The Birthday Party has to offer. Willem Dafoe does what he can, but is surprisingly forgettable. Sofia’s party is extravagant and fruitless, which is also the perfect definition of the film. Go to Full Review The Birthday Party (2025) 30% - -

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 12, 2026 3.5/5 Part pool party, part masquerade, part barbecue, and part Peter Stormare getting shot in the crotch with a laser. Bruiser is as objectifying as it is intriguing. Go to Full Review Bruiser (2000) 70% 32%

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 7, 2026 3.5/5 The Samurai and The Prisoner plants the seeds of an intriguing mystery that is worthy of Kiyoshi Kurasawa’s involvement. However, the film builds and builds for two and a half hours, and the conclusion doesn’t justify such a long buildup. Go to Full Review The Samurai and the Prisoner (2026) 97% - -

Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Aug 5, 2026 4.5/5 Spectacular performances, sensational action choreography, an amazingly mesmerizing story, and some of the most astonishing web-slinging sequences of any Spider-Man film to date help solidify Brand New Day as one of the best Spider-Man films ever.
