A worthy toy, buried under too many boxes. Jessie finally gets her due as the emotional core of Toy Story 5, even if Pixar can't quite let go of Woody and Buzz long enough to let her story breathe.

A familiar light in the sky, dimmer than before. Spielberg returns to aliens with gorgeous craft and John Williams back at the score, but Disclosure Day plays almost like a remake of Close Encounters, minus the emotional core that made the original a classic.

The Wayans return, but the jokes don't. Scary Movie (2026) starts promisingly then loses focus entirely in a second act of disconnected parody skits that can't replicate the sharp wit of the original.

A prodigious debut that trusts its mystery more than its message. Kane Parsons turns his YouTube horror into a gripping, claustrophobic debut feature that announces a major new filmmaking talent.

A brazen act of revisionism dressed up as a biopic. The Jackson estate delivers a sanitized greatest-hits listening party that tells us nothing about who Michael Jackson really was. Colman Domingo is the only one doing interesting work.

A heartwarming film that has no right being as good as it is. Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and a flock of sheep solve a murder mystery in rural England — and somehow deliver one of the most genuinely moving family films in years.
