It Ends With Us (2024) |

Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie (2024) |
Everything is so lifeless. It feels like watching the reanimated corpse of a beloved TV show puppeteered around by corporations who see necromancy as a cash cow rather than the abomination against nature they’ve created. - But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Despicable Me 4 (2024) |
Despicable Me 4 is too stuffed with characters and plots to reach the same level of satisfaction as the original, but it’s packed with enough good jokes and relationships that land that it can float by as a decent family flick.

This Closeness (2023) |
They spend more of the movie fighting than anything else. So much of what comes out of both of their mouths is either mean, immature, or just asinine. This is annoying at first, but by the time This Closeness hits its flow, it becomes a great asset. - But Why Tho? A Geek Community

A Part of You (2024) |
A Part of You is a powerful depiction of a teenager coping with sudden and horrific loss. But the movie itself is drawn out and disinteresting, let alone often quite frustrating.

My Name Is Loh Kiwan (2024) |
My Name is Loh Kiwan stumbles by trying to have too many plots simultaneously. But it succeeds with its central plot and romance. It’s easy to feel invested in both Kiwan and Marie as individuals and as a couple who have so much to overcome together.

Kill Me if You Dare (2024) |
The idea for the movie is ridiculous, but there’s no personality in this rendition to make the premise pop. Unfortunately, Kill Me if You Dare (2024) is a total miss.

Sixty Minutes (2024) |
