Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% EDIT “Nuisance Bear is worth it alone for the incredible footage of polar bears on the run, but the film evolves into something thornier about our relationship with nature and an old world against the capital machine of tourism that drives the new one.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Time and Water (2026) 92% EDIT “Preserving our nature shines a light for our future; Time and Water does commendable work to encourage us not to lose it.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Oldest Person in the World (2026) 87% EDIT “People of all ages should give this encouraging documentary a spin; its well-lived lessons applicable from 0-99. What a gem.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Seized (2026) 100% EDIT “A crackling small-town gossip bakes into the crust of Sharon Liese's moving tribute to hyperlocal journalism and small-town life.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Joybubbles (2026) EDIT “Sometimes, a great documentary just needs the perfect subject and just enough aura to match that person's vibes. ” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review zi (2026) 75% EDIT “Kogonada will always thrive when he's merging liminal spaces with sweeping emotions, zi a stellar return to form for the Columbus and After Yang auteur. ” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) 93% EDIT “Part Mighty Boosh, part Hunt for the Wilderpeople, The Incomer warms your heart and puts your funny bone through the ancient paces of becoming a true gull.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Musical (2026) 62% EDIT “The Musical is a nasty little spitfire of a comedy, a dastardly wedgie suited to offend your senses without much room to wiggle.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 97% EDIT “Josephine is a great film, an extremely difficult watch to be sure but an immensely needed one.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) 100% EDIT “Surreal images of Greek mythology and mysterious young men with their arms stretched out in flight dance around Thompson-Hernández's coming-of-age firework of a picture. His talent is explosive; the impact is unforgettable.” – For the Win at USA Today Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% EDIT “Just like all the generational films often do, Marty Supreme leaves you ready to run through a wall and leave it all on the court.” – For the Win at USA Today Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Avatar: Fire and Ash plays like the kind of delightfully and aggressively indulgent spectacle Hollywood only reserves for the titans of yesteryear.” – For the Win at USA Today Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% EDIT “If you love movies, you must seek Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair out while it's playing near you.

It's got a good heart. It's just reverential enough without beating you over the head with callbacks to the original. ” – For the Win at USA Today Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) 62% EDIT “The world is a better place when [Adam] Sandler is making comedies like this. Hubie Halloween felt like a nice change of pace, and Happy Gilmore 2 feels like the grand return to that high-wire fire hydrant style of Sandler funny business.” – For the Win at USA Today Jul 26, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “It's sleek, sturdy and sentimental, but it drives with a strict governor that prohibits it from ever being more than just satisfactory. ” – For the Win at USA Today Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “Superman is a vibrant, heartfelt joy ride with real teeth. [Gunn] found a way to highlight the character's good heart and civic duty while staying true to his kaleidoscopic wackadoodle comic energy.” – For the Win at USA Today Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “After Jurassic World: Dominion maxed out whatever legacy sequel juice was left in Spielberg's original masterwork, Jurassic World Rebirth plays like a refreshing purification exercise.” – For the Win at USA Today Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Beau Is Afraid (2023) 67% EDIT “Beau is Afraid is, without question, one of the best movies ever made about mental health. Hell, it might just be one of the best movies ever made.” – 615 Film Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Titanic (1997) 88% EDIT “Those shots of the boat sinking — the grand terror of it all — goodness gracious, man…the swooning, doomed romance…Garber by the clock…Leo the damn movie star…cinema! Cinema, I say! Cinema!” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Knock at the Cabin (2023) 67% EDIT “The world is a better place when Shyamalan just goes out there with a concept like this and does the damn thing.” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Your Place or Mine (2023) 31% EDIT “I’m a little concerned Your Place or Mine might be the first movie ever written by ChatGPT.” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% EDIT “It feels like Marvel is starting to spin its wheels a bit, with this Ant-Man movie a weird blend of refried Guardians of the Galaxy and a far-less interesting extension of what Loki was doing with all the multiverse hubbub.” – 615 Film Feb 19, 2023 Full Review A Man Called Otto (2022) 70% EDIT “It’s the kind of schmaltzy, big performance studio drama that used to get a billion Oscar nominations, and darn it, I kind of miss those being in vogue.” – 615 Film Feb 2, 2023 Full Review
