After a rather divisive trilogy starter and the rather disliked 28 Weeks Later, The Bone Temple took the world by storm with rave reviews. As somebody who enjoyed the first 28 Years Later film, seeing that this film had even better reviews was quite exciting! While I often have some
I have been really looking forward to GOAT since it was announced. Sony Pictures Animation rarely misses, and, well, I thought the name was cute, even if it felt like it was trying to be more clever than it actually was. While I didn't know if it would
In February 2026, I was able to check out all three romance films playing at my local Regal cinema: Solo Mio, Dracula: A Love Tale, and this new adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Unfortunately, none of them have been breakout hits. In this Reel Ranker review, I'll be delving
I knew nothing going into Solo Mio except that it was an Angel film and that it starred Kevin James. I should've realized it was a romance film by the fact that I know what 'solo mio' means. Still, I basically just went to see this
I've never been all that interested in vampires, but my goal for 2026 is to watch every new release, so I went to check out this new adaptation of Dracula! And after watching the film, it was not at all what I expected. This wasn't some
I was sick the week of February 8th and decided to use my Regal Unlimited pass to watch literally every movie in theaters that week in my attempt to rest up and get back to work. And, as somebody who really enjoys anime films (my favorite film of all time
I walked into The Moment without knowing anything about its genre or plot. For some reason, the name made me think it was a thriller or something. I know, I was being stupid. Anyway, once I was a few minutes in and learned it was a mockumentary about the musical
While it was certainly an odd choice for Whistle to be the final screening at many film festivals, I was more excited for this film than many and enjoyed its placement. While "teens get a doodad that's about to kill them" is almost its own subgenre
Iron Lung may just be the most faithful and lovingly crafted video game adaptation that has ever been brought to the silver screen. Every little detail of the film shows Markiplier's deep desire to create something that fully honors the game and its creative vision. However, is the
I was thankfully able to catch The Housemaid just before it left my local theater. It was a film I was excited for because of the glowing reviews from some of my favorite film critics, particularly Sean Chandler and Cody Leach. Yet, I simply couldn't find a good
After hearing about Jason Statham's extensive catalog of classic action movies that I've been missing out on, I was really grateful to be invited by my friend Hunter to watch this film! Shelter sounded a lot more up my alley than many other recent action flicks,
Spoilers ahead for Send Help! I will admit I didn't enjoy the trailer for this film at all. It didn't really sell me on this film being all that great, and I was mostly just going off my borrowed trust for Sam Raimi. And thank heavens
I finally built up the courage to watch this film—not because it's scary, but because film snobbery is a very valid fear of mine, and I didn't quite think it would be up my alley based on my prior studies of the film. Of course,
I've watched a lot of horror films. Yet, even with almost no gore or jump scares, Wait Until Dark is still one of the most terrifying films I've ever watched—it's simply that great at building suspense. Very few films can capture fear in
When The Village came out in 2004, a lot of people started to doubt M. Night's ability to direct a film because, well, they didn't like The Village for whatever reason. After the widespread success of The Sixth Sense and Signs, expectations for the film were
Spoilers ahead for The Great Flood! I totally agree with others... yes, this film is not at all what I expected. But, unlike many people, I found this to be to the movie's benefit, not weakness. So let's dive into why The Great Flood is perhaps
Song Sung Blue
Spoilers ahead for Song Sung Blue! Song Sung Blue was one of the most surprising and interesting films of 2025 for a plethora of reasons. This movie takes the viewer through the full range of emotions and reveals so many twists and turns atypical for a musical biopic. As such,
Zootopia
Warning: spoilers for Zootopia 2 ahead. Dang man, what the heck, as Kevin's parents would say in Home Alone: "we did it again!" This movie wasn't a complete mess, and was an actually worthy sequel! Anyway, Zootopia 2 arrived to bring us back into
Wicked
Spoilers ahead for Wicked: For Good! I hadn't really been a fan of Wicked before I watched the first film. I only ended up going to see the first film because of my mom's glowing review of the play. I thought a green witch and Ariana
Bugonia
My best cinephile friend, Hunter Haubert, once upon a time convinced me to watch Jordan Peele's Nope. And, unfortunately, I didn't like it that much. Hunter, looks like Bugonia is my Nope, and you've said Nope to Bugonia. Because this is my crazy alien
The Black Phone
Spoilers ahead for Black Phone 2! For context, I wasn't a huge fan of the first film. Maybe it was too hyped up for me, or maybe I was just expecting a different flavor of film, but it was disappointing. I still enjoyed the movie (see my review
Truth and Treason
Spoilers ahead for Truth and Treason! As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, as well as an adamant hater of all things fascism and lover of all films that deal with fighting against said fascism, I was bought in on day one for this movie.
Him
Hearing that this was produced by Jordan Peele and was a genre-bending sports horror got me really excited for this film. The low ratings didn't worry me because I often love films with lower scores... I mean, one of my favorite movies has a 0% critic score and
The Long Walk
Spoilers ahead for The Long Walk! I don't know why more people don't hail Francis Lawrence as one of the best working directors of today. I freaking love everything he puts out. Sure, most of it is Hunger Games, but that's not at all
Knives Out
I might be in the minority here, but I actually thought this was a step down from Glass Onion. Not by much, but just by a little bit. Yet, it's still a great movie. So, today, I'm going to talk about the good and the bad
The Bad Guys
Spoilers ahead for The Bad Guys 2! The original film was a pleasant surprise for me, so I was pretty excited to check out this sequel. And, as I spoiled in the title, it didn't work nearly as well for me as the original. In today's
Jurassic Park
Spoilers ahead for Jurassic World: Rebirth! I know this film disappointed many people, but me? It was exactly what I wanted from the movie, and it is undoubtedly the best Jurassic World film, even if it isn't fresher than Fallen Kingdom. And, ask me on the right day,
Jurassic Park
In a franchise known for its groundbreaking visuals and epic narratives, Jurassic Park III often gets overshadowed by the series' first entry. Debuting during a time when audiences were still captivated by the original Jurassic Park and (to a far lesser extent) its sequel, The Lost World, this film
Jurassic Park
This review is where I'm about to be crucified by Jurassic lovers and left to be eaten alive, little by little, by a group of The Lost World's tiny menaces, the Compsognathus. But, in complete honesty, this isn't my favorite movie in the franchise.
Alfred Hitchcock
Though many people accuse me of having bad taste because I am a member of Gen-Z, they obviously have never heard that my favorite director is the great Alfred Hitchcock, master of mystery, cinematography, and, of course, suspense. The Birds is one of his most intriguing films, taking place in
Co-Mix Wave Films
While I am too busy to binge-watch all the anime I'm constantly recommended to watch (I've only gotten about six episodes into One Piece), I stay up to date on anime films when I have the chance. With both Weathering With You and Your Name ranking
Scrapper
Going into this film, I had no preconceived notions or context on what the film would be about. In this day and age, it is pretty rare for me to go into a movie knowing nothing, so I appreciated the huge surprise this film offered me. Now, was I surprised
