Bride Hard Blu-ray
One of the worst movies of the year gets what is sure to be among the most basic Blu-ray releases of the year.
How to Train Your Dragon (2025): Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital
A perfect example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, DreamWorks’ faithful live-action remake, one of 2025’s most enjoyable and cinematic blockbusters, is now on disc.
Honey Don’t
The mysteries of “Honey Don’t” fail to come together in an inspired or fulfilling way, but the journey is fun enough not to dwell on the destination.
The Bad Guys 2
It won’t win DreamWorks their second Animated Feature Oscar nor set the domestic box office aflame, but most should find this sequel witty and agreeable.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
A legacy sequel without reverence and nostalgia, 2025’s “Summer” would practically feel at home on Lifetime or Shudder or some other service you don’t think very highly of or have access to.
Jurassic World: Rebirth
With a 134-minute runtime and a $180 million budget, Edwards gets to throw a lot on screen and, inevitably, some of it sorta works. A lot of it doesn’t.
M3GAN 2.0
There’s not enough wit or originality to match the heights of the previous movie, but enough self-awareness to keep it watchable.
28 Years Later
Director Danny Boyle reminds us he is a supremely talented filmmaker with a knack for capturing humanity.
Bride Hard
The chick flick wedding fare and action shenanigans are fused together so haphazardly that we’re never in the right mindset to enjoy either.
F1: The Movie
It looks and sounds great and does a surprisingly stellar job of holding the viewer’s attention for a staggering 2½ hours
How to Train Your Dragon (2025)
Dragons may not be real, but they absolutely feel real here.
The Phoenician Scheme
“The Phoenician Scheme” is a Wes Anderson film for Wes Anderson fans, who should heartily enjoy this sharp, witty comic adventure.
Ballerina
“Ballerina” does not recreate the weight or captivating nature of the John Wick franchise from which it spins off.
Karate Kid: Legends
Like a slice of stuffed crust, there’s more cheese in this requel than anyone could possibly need. But you’re not likely to walk away unsatisfied.
Friendship
The offbeat sensibilities of sketch comic Tim Robinson and A24 come together beautifully in “Friendship”, one of the funniest movies of the past fifteen years.
Death of a Unicorn
Writer-director Alex Scharfman’s feature debut raises some interesting notions of folklore, but disappoints with a standard-issue horror movie final act.
Heart Eyes
Whether as comedy or horror, “Heart Eyes‘” attempts to win you over feel like a chore and a bore.
Wolf Man
Leigh Whannell’s latest update of a classic Universal Monsters flick is a tepid January horror movie that has more success at making you wince than unsettling you.
Better Man
Against all odds, an abundance of candor and an excess of flair together turn this head-scratching Robbie Williams biopic into compelling cinema.
Nosferatu (2024)
One of the year’s best films, “Nosferatu” disarms with intoxicating ambience, this time bringing Robert Eggers’ distinct cinematic sensibilities to something with mainstream horror appeal.
A Complete Unknown
Director James Mangold and his cast are good enough to keep “A Complete Unknown” from settling into routine musician biopic mediocrity.
The Brutalist
Rich with history, art, and the themes of grand literature, Brady Corbet’s ambitious epic drama proves to be engaging, profound, and an instant landmark of cinema.
Conclave Blu-ray + Digital Code
One of 2024’s very best films hits physical media just in time for Christmas.
Nightbitch
Elevating the material tremendously, Amy Adams is back on her A game here.
Moana 2
This spry and polished sequel has clearly been given time to develop instead of being rushed out.
Wicked
Only those with an irrational hatred of musical theatre will be immune to this jaunty production’s considerable charms.
