Funny, heartbreaking, and genuinely awe-inspiring, Project Hail Mary is the best sci-fi film of 2026 and one of the great crowd-pleasers of the decade. A slightly overlong middle keeps it from perfection — but Rocky alone is worth the ticket. Directors Phil Lord & Christopher … Read more

The evidence — Bobby Baccalieri’s warning (“You probably don’t even hear it when it happens”), the shot structure showing everything from Tony’s point of view, the Godfather-echoing man in the Members Only jacket, and creator David Chase’s own slips (he once called it “the death scene”) — points to … Read more

Verdict: 4/5 — A handsomely crafted, slow-burn historical drama elevated by two powerhouse performances. Russell Crowe is genuinely chilling as Hermann Göring, and Rami Malek gives the cat-and-mouse game real psychological weight.

Verdict: 4.5/5 — A sprawling, deeply upsetting, darkly funny horror epic that confirms Zach Cregger as the genre’s most exciting director.
