Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats (2024) |
If you know Rogan, you know exactly what you’re getting with this special … even if the special’s title might need to be clarified for those not familiar with the idiom it offers. - TheWrap

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) |
The movie is vulgar and hyper violent with Reynolds' signature fourth wall breaking in almost every scene. It's fun to see Jackman back as Wolverine and obviously having fun with the character in a tribute to Marvel and the X-Men franchise. - Matinee With Matt

Block Pass (2024) |
The premise is a bit tired but also a little fascinating, given the athleticism theme throughout the movie. It’s a standard coming-of-age drama with a bit of a twist that keeps the story grounded. - Next Best Picture

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) |
Furiosa is undoubtedly chaotic in the best possible way. Anyone who's watched any of the "Mad Max" films will note how hyper-energized all of these films in the series are, largely due to Miller's directorial style, which incorporates high-octane action. - Edge Media Network

Megalopolis (2024) |
The film is meant to be a warning for what our current political state of affairs might produce, but the message is completely drowned out by Coppola's overblown, and outdated, CGI usage and miscalculated dialogue. - Edge Media Network

Oh Canada (2024) |
The film is thinly veiled and lacks the depth its characters deserve. Still, it's an acceptable compass for political resistance, owning up to the sins of the past, and coming to terms with mortality. - Next Best Picture

Wild Diamond (2024) |
Encapsulating almost every frame, Khebizi holds true to the downward spiral her main character takes and doesn’t let up, even when Liane is at her lowest. Riedinger’s direction provides a shaky framing that speaks to Liane’s chaotic trajectory. - Next Best Picture
