Rotem Rusak Nerdist Oct 15, 2026 4/5 Do I fully know what to make of it? Not totally. But I enjoyed every minute of it. And long after the credits have rolled, I’m still pondering its many depths. Go to Full Review Whalefall (2026) 74% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Oct 13, 2026 5/5 Seeing the full version, in all its NC-17 glory, only adds to the feeling that Russell made perhaps the quintessential piece of subversive cinema. It's a masterpiece. Go to Full Review Ken Russell's The Devils (2026) 98% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Sep 16, 2026 3.5/5 If you want a fun roller coaster horror movie with loads of good scares and some gnarly body horror, Resident Evil is a blast. Just don’t expect more than that or it might be game over. Go to Full Review Resident Evil (2026) 96% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Sep 10, 2026 3.5/5 Hope is relentless action, compelling performances, and superb filmmaking. It’s also got quite ropey CGI monsters and as a whole the movie feels incomplete. Still worth watching, though. Go to Full Review Hope (2026) 80% - -

Rotem Rusak Nerdist Aug 20, 2026 3.5/5 Insidious: Out of the Further was a fun entry into the world of Insidious. At the end of the movie, we felt like we’d been thrilled, scared, moved, and, overall, had a great time. Go to Full Review Insidious: Out of the Further (2026) 58% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Aug 6, 2026 4/5 The Samurai and the Prisoner is a thoughtful, troubling, and compelling mystery with an inescapable mix of wonder and dread. It stands as yet another late-period achievement for one of Japan's most interesting filmmakers. Go to Full Review The Samurai and the Prisoner (2026) 97% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Jul 28, 2026 4.5/5 Spider-Man: Brand New Day chooses to focus on relationships and the smaller moments rather than big spectacle. Because of this, Brand New Day is finally the most "Spider-Man" Spider-Man movie. Go to Full Review Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) 90% - -

Michael Walsh Nerdist Jul 15, 2026 5/5 It’s all just so thoughtful in a way most movies, especially most blockbusters, just aren’t and don’t want to be. Go to Full Review The Odyssey (2026) 94% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Jul 8, 2026 2/5 The Evil Dead series has a very high bar for quality, and Evil Dead Burn is comfortably the worst. Go to Full Review Evil Dead Burn (2026) 70% - -

Michael Walsh Nerdist Jul 8, 2026 3.5/5 Like with How To Train Your Dragon remake, the live-action Moana is essentially a faithful cover of a classic song. It’s good for all the reasons the original song is good. Go to Full Review Moana (2026) 33% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Jun 24, 2026 3/5 It's nowhere near a bad movie, but I wanted Supergirl to bowl me over and it simply did not. Go to Full Review Supergirl (2026) 52% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist Jun 15, 2026 The Rocketeer’s set pieces have tons and tons of energy, and don’t rely on the frenetic cutting of more modern action flicks. Go to Full Review The Rocketeer (1991) 73% 71%

Michael Walsh Nerdist Jun 9, 2026 3/5 Outside of Emily Blunt’s performance, it’s just not a good movie. At least not on its own terms. But if you treat it as entertainment it is a fun one. Go to Full Review Disclosure Day (2026) 79% - -

Eric Diaz Nerdist Jun 2, 2026 3.5/5 Masters of the Universe had everything going against it, but we have a feeling that pound for pound, it’ll wind up as the sci-fi fantasy favorite of the summer of 2026. Go to Full Review Masters of the Universe (2026) 67% - -

Rotem Rusak Nerdist May 19, 2026 4/5 An uncommon patch of unadulterated escapism. A rare movie that’s pure fun without losing heart, character, and quality along the way. Go to Full Review Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) 60% - -

Kyle Anderson Nerdist May 12, 2026 4.5/5 This movie's expert deployment of dread, the uncanny valley, and nerve-shredding awkwardness infected my brain and stayed there for weeks. Go to Full Review Obsession (2025) 93% - -

Tai Gooden Nerdist May 11, 2026 4.5/5 Is God Is feels like a twisted fever dream that’s modern, vintage, chaotic, and sobering with an ending that will lodge itself in your brain for days after you leave the theater. Go to Full Review Is God Is (2026) 97% - -

Rotem Rusak Nerdist Apr 29, 2026 4.5/5 Was The Devil Wears Prada 2 the sequel movie I was expecting when I walked into the movie theater? No. But it turns out, it was so much more important than that. Go to Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% - -
