Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 30, 2026 B+ If "Fatherland" scores Oscar nominations, as expected, it will largely be due to Łukasz Żal, arguably the finest cinematographer working today, and Sandra Hüller, incomparable at conveying strength and vulnerability in one of her best performances.

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 30, 2026 A- Labeling Noah Segan’s "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York" a quintessential Big Apple flick might be hyperbolic, but I challenge anyone to disagree. Go to Full Review The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026) 98% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 23, 2026 B+ What’s here delivers a giant chef’s kiss, a living history lesson in which Renaissance alums reminisce, pontificate, analyze, and debate their invaluable contributions not just to Black pride but to the creative arts in general.

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 23, 2026 B McAvoy lets us experience the exhilarating joy of finally being seen and valued. Two things that rarely happen to two boys from the Dundee projects. You gladly cheer them on, even though you know their chicanery will ultimately hurt many.

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 23, 2026 B "Stunning" best describes the animated wonder that is "Wildwood." It’s easily the finest stop-motion work I’ve yet seen. Go to Full Review Wildwood (2026) 98% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 23, 2026 A From a clever script dripping with delicious double entendres to a superb cast fronted by Oscar-winner Olivia Colman, this delightful adaptation of Ursula Wills’ acclaimed short story, "The Wicker Husband," is all about giving, and getting, "good wood."

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 16, 2026 B Yes, "Musk" is often heavy-handed. And for a comprehensive movie, it’s surprisingly incomplete. It does, however, accomplish its purpose: to scare the bejesus out of voters before they head to the polls next month. Go to Full Review Musk (2026) 96% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 16, 2026 C+   There are some obvious bugs in "Crawlers," but it’s hard not to get even a little bit entangled in its sticky web of jump scares and gross-out sight gags as it cashes in on our shared arachnophobia.  Go to Full Review Crawlers (2026) 59% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 15, 2026 C- It offers no new insight into the devastation COVID wreaked or into the grieving process in general. It’s just one woman’s martyrdom used as an excuse to mount a travelogue full of sights and sounds sans substance. Go to Full Review Love of Your Life (2026) 80% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 9, 2026 C- You’d be hard-pressed to cite a twist or turn you didn’t see coming a mile away.

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 9, 2026 D This is easily Affleck's most deficient directorial effort. It’s flat, boring and lacking suspense. There’s neither affinity for the characters nor conviction in the movie’s subtle condemnation of how wealth and power have infected our political system. Go to Full Review Animals (2026) 30% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 2, 2026 B It’s satire at its most cunning. Go to Full Review The Scout (2025) 92% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Oct 2, 2026 B+ Brimming with intense action, droll comedy, and unnerving terror, it’s a jaw-dropping, head-scratching blast that seldom loses its je ne sais quoi. Go to Full Review Ghost in the Cell (2026) 93% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Sep 25, 2026 B A well-deserved curtain call that makes you wish you'd been seated at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre during that blessed summer of '72, when multiple hall-of-fame careers were born and the new comedy genre of improv dawned.

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Sep 25, 2026 C- An intriguing story exists deep within the Netflix production of "Unabomber." But director Janus Metz never quite discovers it, resorting instead to tired police-procedural tropes and the dimmest dime-store psychology. Go to Full Review Unabomber (2026) 24% - -

Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Sep 25, 2026 B- What entices you has little to do with Dean’s underwritten script, but with the appeal of stars Emilia Jones and Nick Robinson, who lend authenticity to what proves an affecting tribute to the joys and heartbreak of first love.
