Peter Martin DallasFilmNow.com Sep 4, 2026 2/5 From a certain point forward, By Any Means falls into fantasy territory ...

Peter Martin DallasFilmNow.com Aug 14, 2026 3/5 Feeling very much like an unholy melding of a 1950s dinosaur movie set in 1980s suburbia, The End of Oak Street is utterly ridiculous, even if it is a ton of dumb fun, if you’re in the right mood for it.

Peter Martin DallasFilmNow.com Aug 6, 2026 3/5 Milly Alcock is quite good as Kara, though less convincing as Supergirl.
