One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 (2025) A EDIT “An emotional farewell to the series. This documentary highlights the blood, sweat, and tears of the crew. While it doesn't fix all the finale's plot holes, seeing the passion behind the scenes provides closure. A good tribute.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 9.5/10 EDIT “Park Chan-wook delivers another masterpiece. Lee Byung-hun stars in this dark, violent satire about a desperate man killing his competition for a job. It’s bloody, twisted, and morally complex. A thriller you won't forget.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 10/10 EDIT “Brendan Fraser gives a heartwarming performance as a down-on-his-luck actor working for a Japanese 'rental family' service. It’s funny, touching, and captures Japanese culture beautifully. A unique, feel-good gem.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 74% A- EDIT “An unmissable anime Hamlet reimagining. Mamoru Hosoda blends 2D and photo-real visuals in a violent, bloody, yet deeply emotional story about rage and forgiveness. A stunning experience.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 8.5/10 EDIT “It's a well-done film that thrives by breakdown the different dichotomy and thresholds of relational interaction. Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling are amazing and fully committed.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 84% A- EDIT “It's a beautiful story that flows seamlessly with top-tier animation and a great sound design. They handle both sides of humanity in a specific, poignant way. It’s an insane journey and an easy recommendation.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 87% 8.5/10 EDIT “It's engaging cinema that hasn't been touched in a while. It builds to a very precise thriller with excellent cinematography, editing, and choreography. It's a very entertaining film that I'd definitely recommend.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 52% 8.5/10 EDIT “Glenn Powell is doing a really good job... it's witty enough and engaging enough, and when it needs to be emotional, it is. Even though interesting things happened in the climax, I really enjoyed this and I recommend you go check it out.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Feb 20, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 68% B+ EDIT “Ralph Fiennes leads this beautiful WWI drama about a choir in a small British town. It captures the community's despair and hope perfectly. With great humor and a strong ensemble, it’s a touching film about resilience.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 78% 7.5/10 EDIT “I had low expectations but was won over. The chemistry between Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding is great, and it balances insane gore with self-aware humor perfectly. It’s a fun, entertaining slasher.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% 8/10 EDIT “Visually stunning with incredible tension. Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner are amazing, grounding the story in human tragedy rather than typical horror. It’s violent and gory but functions more as a great drama.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Good News (2025) 91% A EDIT “Good News is a dark, satirical gem on Netflix. The lead, 'Mr. Nobody,' is brilliant—playing the fool while outsmarting everyone. It balances violence with genuine hilarity perfectly, even in a confined plane setting. An engaging film you shouldn't miss.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 9.3/10 EDIT “I found Bugonia to be a visceral, psychological masterclass. Plemons steals the show as a conspiracy theorist in a story that brilliantly blurs reality. It’s violent, deplorable, yet utterly engaging—one of Lanthimos’s best.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jan 26, 2026 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 37% B+ EDIT “Kogonada has created a film that feels like a Broadway stage play brought to life. With its stunning colors, choreographed moments, and amazing song cues, this is a truly unique cinematic ride. Robbie & Farrell are absolutely captivating. Enjoyed!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Heads of State (2025) 68% 9/10 EDIT “It's a fun, action-packed, and hilarious action-comedy with great chemistry between Cena and Elba. Priyanka Chopra steals the show! The action is well-choreographed, and the story is engaging. I highly recommend it!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jul 9, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 92% 10/10 EDIT “I loved the high-quality, "Spider-Verse"-like animation and the catchy K-pop soundtrack. The characters were well-developed, and the story explored themes of responsibility. It was a fun, engaging watch with sequel potential! Best film soundtrack of 2025!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 10/10 EDIT “Gunn has done something that I only thought possible in Animated form, he not only made us believe a man could fly but made us believe a person could TRULY care about preservation of ALL LIFE. Hoult is the best film adapted Lex. An unmissable experience!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jul 8, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 9.5/10 EDIT “It has it all, amazing camera work, astonishing racing scenes and locations, a great cast, & electric chemistry from Idris and Pitt! This film is truly one of the best films this year & one of the best racing films of all time. Will leave you breathless!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jun 21, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 7.5/10 EDIT “Initially, I wasn't sure about Thunderbolts, but I ended up truly enjoying the film. I enjoy Lewis Pullman's performance as Sentry and the tonal shift of the film exploring mental health and human connection in second half of the film. It's a good one!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS May 19, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 75% 9/10 EDIT “As a dad with a autistic son, I'm connected. Loved the first one, and this sequel delivers more action with a body-cop twist with brothers. Affleck handles autism with great care. Bernthal's portrayal is key as the neurotypical brother trying to connect.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS May 19, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% 5.5/10 EDIT “Evans is a master of action, he delivers in action here, but the story lacks depth. Characters are forgettable, though the fight scenes are top-notch. Not his best, but still a fun watch. Gangs of London & The Raid films are still his masterpieces.” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS May 19, 2025 Full Review Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) 14% 7.5/10 EDIT “Stunning visuals & great performance by Ortega & The Weeknd elevating this artsy exploration of an artists life and suffering/sacrificed required along the way. Not for everyone, but I do this film truly” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS May 19, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% 10/10 EDIT “WARFARE is one of the most intense and yet essential pieces of war cinema you’ll ever witness. Sound design, camera work, acting, all there! With a trusted sense of devotion to those who serve & a precision to cinematic immersion never seen. GREAT!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Apr 20, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 10/10 EDIT “Top-tier cinematic achievement! Best seen in IMAX, the music & storytelling from Coogler/Ludwig is so well interwoven one cannot exist without the other. Powerful performances especially Jordan's dual roles. Even end epilogue is next level. A Masterpiece!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Apr 20, 2025 Full Review The Shadow Strays (2024) 92% A EDIT “The Shadow Strays is a high octane action, bone crushing violence, & yet emotionally resonant with characters & the world Timo Tjahjanto has created! Only regret is not all will see on big screen. This is a must see action film for 2024!” – JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Oct 19, 2024 Full Review
