My Lockbox review takes on Daniel Stamm’s possession thriller, where Carla Gugino grounds a strange, escalating horror story that gets its hooks in early. https://joethemnmovieman.com/2026/08/05/lockbox-review-2026/
My One Night Only review: twelve hours, two soulmates, and one perfect New York bubble that forgot to invite everybody. https://joethemnmovieman.com/2026/08/05/one-night-only-review-2026/

Read my The Invite review as Olivia Wilde directs a witty, uncomfortable dinner-party comedy elevated by Penélope Cruz's sensational performance.

Jackass: Best and Last Review: One Last Tap
Knoxville and the crew are fearless with their bodies but bashful with their feelings in raucous farewell Jackass: Best and Last.

My Minions & Monsters review: Pierre Coffin drops the yellow guys into 1920s Hollywood for a campy, color-soaked, big-hearted summer blast.
My Couture review finds Angelina Jolie lighter and sharper than she’s been in years, leading Alice Winocour’s elegant Paris fashion drama.
Norway makes a creature feature worth the swim. My Kraken review covers the fjord views, the practical effects, and one very big sucker.
My Dust Bunny 4K review digs into Bryan Fuller’s wild monster fable on Lionsgate’s ultra-wide UHD disc. Gorgeous, strange, and a Stream First for newcomers.
My Supergirl review revisits the 1984 cult flop: Helen Slater soars, Faye Dunaway camps it up, and Jerry Goldsmith's score is a true classic.
The Death of Robin Hood review: Sarnoski reimagines the legend as a brutal, beautiful reckoning. Jackman is great, but the film keeps you at arm's length.
My Voicemails for Isabelle review: Zoey Deutch shines in a Netflix rom-com that's secretly about sisterhood, grief, and loving yourself first
Another huge @warnerbrospictures.bsky.social film skips screening for our MN Critics. I LOVE this studio, but this consistent ignoring of our state wide contribution is a radical dismissal of our voice as Midwest critics. It’s so disappointing.

Toy Story 5 Film Review: Playtime, Perfected
Toy Story 5 gives Jessie her finest chapter yet, trading nostalgia for a tender, funny story about toys, tech, and the ache of growing up.

My The Furious review: a pan-Asian fight summit of hammers, ladders, and fury, powered by Xie Miao and Joe Taslim at full throttle.
My Stop! That! Train! review: RuPaul’s first big-screen disaster spoof is cheap, tacky, and one of the most gleefully fun times at the movies.
My Difficult People Blu-ray review: Universal collects all 28 episodes of the sharp, fearless Hulu comedy that only looks smarter a decade on.
My Private Benjamin Blu-ray review: Warner Archive's new 4K-sourced restoration gives Goldie Hawn's 1980 landmark comedy a dazzling high-def debut at last.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves 4K review covers Arrow's Limited Edition with both cuts, Dolby Vision, and a feature doc. Shelf Worthy without question.
Red Sonja 4K review: Arrow Video gives a notorious 1985 misfire a Dolby Vision restoration and stacked extras. Stream First, then maybe buy.
Soldier 4K review: a generous supplement package for a film most viewers should sample first. Anderson and Russell completists will want this one.
Arrow Video's The Birthday 4K review: Corey Feldman's favorite performance, restored from the original negative by the director.
