The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% EDIT “...there is rich, emotional, fertile ground that the filmmakers could have really utilized like Pixar films do... Unfortunately, this film has no interest in that kind of storytelling or sentimentality...” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Apr 6, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 78% EDIT “Many people would probably laugh at the humor here or the antics that incorporate pratfalls or cartoon-like physicality. However, the drama doesn't hit as effectively as I would have wanted.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Apr 1, 2026 Full Review A Magnificent Life (2025) 63% EDIT “This is perhaps a good introduction to Marcel Pagnol, but not as good as an honor or tribute as one might hope.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Love & Other Crimes (2025) EDIT “Director Clarito Zapanta has the potential to create a feature that could be the next Jason's Lyric in terms of the kind of erotic, hood films that dominated the 90's.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% EDIT “Project Hail Mary treats the science as if its lessons for elementary school children and it feels like it cares more about the comedy and the silly jokes, which can be entertaining, if not hollow.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 25, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% EDIT “...this film also inverts the concept of a femme fatale or creates a mystery over who the true "femme fatale" is.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% EDIT “There are things to enjoy like the genuine performances, the moments of tenderness and sweet touches, the slight humor and the graphic sexuality and nudity. Yes, this film is sexier than Fennell's [Wuthering Heights].” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% EDIT “The film is ostensibly about the romance that brews between Ledger and Kenna, but what shines through even more is Ledger's love for Scotty's daughter...” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% EDIT “It's a comedy with some really great gags. One of them comes in the animal chosen as the protagonist. Director Daniel Chong isn't as crass in his humor. A lot of the jokes come from the brutality of the animal kingdom and the food chain.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 95% EDIT “How Nora and Agnes grew up and what it was like for them in their specific household is arguably the whole point of this narrative. The opening of the film is a beautiful montage that felt like something out of Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life (2011)” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 11, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% EDIT “...70's celluloid. The film in total is very tactile. The aesthetic Filho creates nails that decade completely. He sets the film during the time of Carnival and Brazil's hot season, and Filho is effective in making us feel the heat and sweat.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 9, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% EDIT “There are slight comedic elements but the film becomes a literal vehicle to express what political prisoners experienced or what communal trauma might look like.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 89% EDIT “...his work here is a perfect recognition and acknowledgment of an artistic genius often overlooked in a style and manner that the genius himself would've appreciated.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 30% EDIT “...after not having Neve Campbell in the previous film, or having her be such a side character in the fifth Scream film, it felt so good having her back at the helm.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 89% EDIT “...this story line about Sharon [Halle Berry] and her issues at work is the best part of the narrative. The heist scenes are ostensibly the main attraction here, and those heist scenes are tense and can be energetic.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% EDIT “Verbinski amps up the dark humor, exaggerating things into a hyper-reality in order to underline the ridiculousness that Boomers and Gen Xers see in current digital technology, particularly interactions with social media.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 85% EDIT “...there is still discrimination, but this film is about overcoming them and allowing anybody to play. There's also pride from where one originates in this highly entertaining film...” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% EDIT “Hudson is lovely and heartbreaking. She also demonstrates a range that brought me to tears that if I were an Academy voter would get her checked on my ballot.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% EDIT “Fennell's monstrosity in Heathcliff undercut the epic romance that we're meant to buy... As he got more monstrous, whatever romantic appeal in his and Cathy's story dwindled.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “...deconstructing the brutal and merciless culture, established in the previous films. Trachtenberg is critiquing the machismo and solo warrior themes that certainly kicked off this franchise... more about embracing sensitivity and friendship...” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 16, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% EDIT “The story draws parallels to Beverly Hills Cop (1984) with Momoa playing the role of Eddie Murphy's Axel Foley. Momoa doesn't have Murphy's energy. Both Momoa and Bautista feel like they're sleepwalking through a lot of this.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “It seems as if the film wanted to be The Blue Lagoon meets Misery (1990), except we skip over the part where the woman is a fan of the man and we land on her simply wanting to punish him. Yet, it's not really about her punishing him.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “She's been working for over 20 years and this is probably the best performance she's given. It's also the best film she's done that has put her in the lead.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% EDIT “With all the talk about corrupt cops, we do get the impression that he [Ben Affleck] might not be one of them, but the film never expands upon JD [Ben Affleck] to give us more depth or insight into him.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 28, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “It's rare for a zombie flick to give the perspective of the zombie. DaCosta provides glimpses of Samson's perspective and of his memories, but, again, it's not nearly enough.” – The M Report (WBOC.com) Jan 28, 2026 Full Review
