- HEART OF THE BEAST an unexpected soul-filler
by Gover
Director David Ayer is a veteran of the trade who knows how to plant seeds along the way in order to maximize the audience’s experience.
- Hawke stellar in THE WEIGHT
by Gover
This film transports the audience to The Great Depression and is a riveting story with relatable characters. That’s all great but Ethan Hawke is the feather in THE WEIGHT’s cap.
- MAN OF WAR surprises as heart-pounding military flick
by Gover
Too often in this genre, the flow of action feels contrived and scripted. Director William Kaufman provides the opposite here and it’s a welcome change.
- OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD doc an insightful look at Jimmy Buffett, 70’s era
by Gover
Director John H. Cunningham could’ve rested on the hits but, thankfully, OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD provides an interesting look at Jimmy Buffett far beyond the singles.
- MUTINY just a run-of-the-mill action flick
by Gover
Directed by Jean-François Richet, MUTINY offers very few enhancements over the usual genre offering. Anybody could’ve directed this movie and it would’ve turned out exactly the same.
- THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE an instant family classic
by Gover
Elementary at times but clever overall, this is a must-see for all families with young children.
- McConaughey stellar, LookingGlass a discovery in AMZIAH KING
by Gover
McConaughey should be applauded for his strong return, LookingGlass should be applauded for bursting onto the scene with an unforgettable performance and Patterson should be applauded for sticking to his vision.
- ONE NIGHT ONLY completely carried by Barbaro
by Gover
A fun flight of fancy but clumsily executed, ONE NIGHT ONLY is saved by Monica Barbaro, plain and simple.
- COOKIE QUEENS should make parents furious, proud
by Gover
There is no denying the determination, resourcefulness, creativity and drive of these amazing young girls and COOKIE QUEENS allows us to witness that on-screen.
- SPIDER MAN: BRAND NEW DAY a departure from MCU style
by Gover
A faithful continuation of the Spider-Man (and Marvel) saga but, more than that, it may be the best movie in the history of Spider-Man films.
- Barbie Ferreira lifts MILE END KICKS
by Gover
While MILE END KICKS doesn’t call for the same emotional range as BOB TREVINO LIKES IT, Ferreira proves, once again, that she’s one of her generation’s greatest actors.
- MOTOR CITY surprises despite minimal dialogue
by Gover
We beg filmmakers and studios all the time to show us something different. MOTOR CITY absolutely shows us something different and it should be applauded for that.
- SNIPER: NO NATION just an amateur Mission Impossible
by Gover
The question continuously asked throughout the film is “Where’s Brandon Beckett?”
Nobody cares.
- The Odyssey Earns Its Scale
by untitledfilmprojectpodcast
Nolan Turns 3,000 Years Old Into 2026’s Biggest Movie
- THE ODYSSEY is everything filmmaking should be
by Gover
The grand scale, the epic stories, the deep characters, the large sweeping (real) landscapes. This is why we go to the movies.
- Live action MOANA a completely unnecessary remake
by Gover
We didn’t need this. 10 years doesn’t allow for the generation who grew up on the beloved animated version to want to take their own kids to the live-action remake.
- The Invite: Dinner Party, Meet Your Breaking Point.
by untitledfilmprojectpodcast
The Invite is a comedy of manners, until it isn’t.
- Despite the hype, MINIONS & MONSTERS could’ve been a TV special
by Gover
I’m never going to argue about another MINIONS offering. It’s like the Star Wars franchise. You put it out, I’m going to watch it. But MINIONS & MONSTERS could’ve been an hour-long TV special.
- WARRIORS OF THE WASTELAND an amateur attempt at MAD MAX
by Gover
This is what happens when you give an amateur filmmaker who’s a super fan of the genre a multi-million dollar budget and say “go make a movie.”
- NIGHT NURSE a curiously artsy, twisted psychoerotic thriller
by Gover
While it has it’s drawbacks, NIGHT NURSE is an artsy psychoerotic thriller that provides enough twists and turns to deliver on its premise.
- AGENT ZETA an over-complicated momentum killer
by Gover
An unnecessarily complicated action film that loses momentum with every flashback.
- The Top 10 Movies of 2026! (so far)
by untitledfilmprojectpodcast
While very few have been “elite,” we’ve had a ton of solid movies so far. These are our Top 10 of the first half of 2026…
- Alcock great, writing weak in SUPERGIRL
by Gover
Alcock gives it her all and is a joy to watch but the writing, CGI-heavy fight scenes and directing choices regress SUPERGIRL to the mean.
- COUTURE a must-watch for cancer patients/survivors
by Gover
The side characters have something to say too but they’re so severely overshadowed that they become obstacles in the way of what you’re there to experience.
- GIRLS LIKE GIRLS stellar example of coming-of-age genre, relationships
by Gover
From social awkwardness to grief to vulnerability to abandonment to falling in love to heartbreak, da Costa nails it, regardless of the emotion the character calls for.
- Disclosure Day Leaves You Wondering: Where’s The Wonder?
by untitledfilmprojectpodcast
Emily Blunt soars in this uneven dud. Should Spielberg get a pass for failing to deliver a blockbuster, the genre he created?
- DISCLOSURE DAY lives up to the hype
by Gover
What we have here is another all-timer on a resume of all-timers for Steven Spielberg.
- THE FURIOUS an exhausting adrenaline rush
by Gover
Make plans to see it on the big screen but pack an IV drip. You’re going to need all the stamina possible to get through this one.
- SCARY MOVIE 6 hilarious at times, tired in others
by Gover
A ton of these ideas are perfect for sketch television, to the point where SCARY MOVIE really makes you wish IN LIVING COLOR was still on the air.
- SEVEN SNIPERS an intense flick with so much potential
by Gover
Because it has a great premise, because the acting is solid and because it’s so intense, SEVEN SNIPERS begs for a higher score.
- JACK RYAN: GHOST WAR a carbon copy of Mission: Impossible
by Gover
A slightly-better-than-average action movie that features good-but-nothing-special performances and a recycled plot from a superior franchise.
- THE BREADWINNER a winner… for the whole family
by Gover
Parents and grandparents of all ages can take kids at any stage of life and everyone will enjoy THE BREADWINNER to some degree.
- Backrooms is all dread. No destination.
by untitledfilmprojectpodcast
Kane Parsons can build a room. He just can’t build a movie. Yet. Backrooms is a first person, existential dread fest for thos raised on internet.
- PRESSURE a war epic with one Major problem
by Gover
Scott is outstanding as Stagg, somehow bringing intensity and momentum to the even keel, hardly-ever-rattled character, and Condon is a force to be reckoned with any time she’s on the screen.
But then there’s Fraser.
- TUNER plays all the right notes
by Gover
TUNER has heart, intrigue and a sense of awareness, weaving many genres into one (in the best way). You can’t ask for much more in two hours.
- LIFEHACK raises the bar of the screenlife genre
by Gover
Most screenlife projects end up being laughable or boring because they can’t maintain the novelty of the creative intrigue early on.
Thankfully, LIFEHACK succeeds where so many fail.
- THE SHEEP DETECTIVES a welcome surprise
by Gover
If you’re a parent who’s looking to take your kids (eight and older?) to a movie that you’ll actually enjoy — as opposed to endure — THE SHEEP DETECTIVES is a tremendous choice.
- Pull the plug on MORTAL KOMBAT II
by Gover
MORTAL KOMBAT II is completely unnecessary, offers the audience absolutely nothing unique and could very well be the death knell for the franchise.
- THRASH a cliche-filled joke
by Gover
THRASH, basically, has every lazy convenience, stereotype and cliche an amateur would think is clever enough to write.
- OVER YOUR DEAD BODY campy, bloody fun
by Gover
Writers Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher take ultra-relatable themes such as nagging, pet peeves and lack of appreciation and turns a fun premise into an irreverent comedy that will have legs long after it leaves theaters.
- MICHAEL a mesmerizing look at MJ, psychology
by Gover
This is a borderline masterclass in psychology. You feel his desperation for friendship, you feel his childhood ripped away from him, you feel his internal struggle of family vs. self and you feel his giving heart.
- BUSBOYS a comedy but without the comedy
by Gover
Like when a sports team assembles a super roster but falls short of a championship, BUSBOYS is a great example of how two hilarious comics can still fall flat despite combining powers.
- ROOMMATES harkens 90’s comedies in the best way
by Gover
Netflix has a comedy-for-comedy’s-sake movie on it’s hands that’s relatable and will be played in every college dorm room from coast to coast for years to come.
- Charm, laughs aplenty in YOU, ME & TUSCANY
by Gover
Director Kat Coiro delivers a sweet, charming and hilarious film here and, if you love the genre, YOU, ME AND TUSCANY is not to be missed.
- THE AI DOC a call to action for both sides
by Gover
While it was a blast to see in a theater, it’s not necessary. The important thing is that you see it at all. So, once it comes to streaming, you have no excuse.
- WAR MACHINE starts strong, peters out
by Gover
Entertaining? Yes. Riveting? No. WAR MACHINE is that great idea on paper but average at best in execution.
- TWO PROSECUTORS packed with power
by Gover
Having filmed his scenes when he was 79 years old, the acting ability exhibited here makes you wish Filippenko had been discovered by American audiences decades ago.
- Beetz is a bad ass but THEY WILL KILL YOU misses the mark
by Gover
On the surface, it seems like a creative, campy project. As you get more and more immersed, however, it becomes less and less imaginative.
- THE FORBIDDEN CITY a fun, adrenaline-filled ride
by Gover
If you love the JOHN WICK series, you’ll love THE FORBIDDEN CITY.
- The Bride: A Masterpiece or The Worst Film Ever?
by untitledfilmprojectpodcast
Gyllenhaal’s The Bride Is a Brain Attack You Won’t Want to Survive
