CHRISTY (2025) has good pieces, including a strong performance from Sydney Sweeney. But while the biopic doesn't sugar coat its darker subject matter, the overall result is strangely conventional. My review.

Despite starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, DIE MY LOVE is not even remotely a commercial film, but I think it's really onto something in how it explores the subject of postpartum depression.

Dare I say that PREDATOR: BADLANDS is probably the best entry in the entire franchise? I do dare.

DIE MY LOVE (2025) is an ambitious undertaking from director Lynne Ramsay and actors Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. But I'm not sure taking such a big swing makes it entirely successful. My review.

Although by no means terrible, NUREMBERG easily ranks as one of the year's biggest disappointments.

I'll tell you why in my review, which you can read here: aisleseat.com/nuremberg.html

KAREN KINGSBURY'S THE CHRISTMAS RING is the perfect movie for people who thought REGRETTING YOU was too subtle. Kelsey Grammer and Jana Kramer star. It hits theaters later this week.

REGRETTING YOU has so many plot threads that it doesn't need a director so much as it needs a traffic cop.

Movie Review: BUGONIA
dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/bugo...
Another Yorgos Lanthimos knockout that uses our biases and what we think of as "common knowledge" against us in this dark, absurdist comedy.

A shot from Yorgos Lanthimos' new film, BUGONIA. Two men in protective suits bend over to observe a woman with a shaved head on a cot.
