Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% 2/4 EDIT “To watch this ... fall into ... familiar patterns ... becomes increasingly disappointing as it goes.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Mountain (2024) 91% 2.5/4 EDIT “[W]hile this is meant to be a bittersweet little story, the bitterness of the reality underneath it comes through no matter what sweetness may be on the surface.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Mabel (2026) 3/4 EDIT “Mabel is a bit more complex than it initially seems in terms of its characters and the message it has to offer.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Everyone Is Lying to You for Money (2025) 3/4 EDIT “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money is a fine primer on the subject, made by someone who lets us figure it all out alongside him...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Eagles of the Republic (2025) 73% 3/4 EDIT “Eagles of the Republic keeps it light at first, perhaps, so that the weight of everything ... feels as heavy as it does here.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Brothers Under Fire (2026) 2/4 EDIT “At times competent in its action sequences, Brothers Under Fire is otherwise unnoteworthy.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Ballistic (2025) 60% 2/4 EDIT “[I]t's not necessarily the material itself that's the issue. It's how the movie frames that story.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Amrum (2025) 96% 3/4 EDIT “[T]his film is less about what happens and more about the particular mood, spirit, and conflict in this specific place at this time of great change.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Cal McMau's directorial debut ... shows that the experience in prison must have changed ... but the dehumanizing cruelty of the place certainly remains a constant...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Panda Plan 2: The Magical Tribe (2026) 1/4 EDIT “[I]t's irritating in just how desperate and incompetent it is.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Bob Odenkirk plays ... such a believable, grounded figure that it almost doesn't matter that the film changes gears so suddenly and extremely.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Mile End Kicks (2025) 87% 2.5/4 EDIT “[F]or whatever reason, this movie keeps pushing an odd and unconvincing romantic triangle into the mix.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Mārama (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Here's a symbolic haunted house tale that becomes quite disturbing, while also remaining righteous in its outrage and anger.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo) (2025) 89% 3/4 EDIT “The story here may be simple ... but these characters aren't.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Lorne (2026) 67% 3/4 EDIT “After about 50 years, he [Michaels] has found his place, and it's fascinating to hear the broad story of him getting there...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Erupcja (2025) 85% 2/4 EDIT “The movie's shortcomings ... are too evident and result in a story that feels hollow to the core.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% 3/4 EDIT “It's a chilly, almost cold comedy ... The surprise, though, is how warm and affectionate the material becomes...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Blue Heron ... undoubtedly works as a thought exercise about memory, which does make the film worthwhile, but it still comes up short as an emotional experience.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Balls Up (2026) 28% 1.5/4 EDIT “[M]any of these [jokes] feel like a stretch...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 15, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 65% 2/4 EDIT “[T]he easily resolvable complications and easily correctable misunderstandings matter much more than the characters.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Thrash (2026) 43% 1.5/4 EDIT “Wirkola is clearly going for some over-the-top thrills and macabre laughs with Thrash. It and its characters are far too dull for either of those efforts to succeed.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 28% 3/4 EDIT “Reeves is almost certainly at his best in this role...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Bunnylovr (2025) 63% 2/4 EDIT “Bunnylovr gets bogged down by just how much story the writer/director attempts to incorporate into [it]...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Steal This Story, Please! (2025) 92% 3/4 EDIT “[W]atching Goodman and her colleagues over the years and decades ... it's some reason for a bit of optimism...” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Hunting Matthew Nichols (2024) 94% 3/4 EDIT “It's sometimes difficult to believe the conventions of this sort of movie, but the filmmakers here have, in a very clever way, worked their way around a lot of those doubts.” – Mark Reviews Movies Apr 9, 2026 Full Review
