Mercy (2026) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Mercy, directed by Timur Bekmambetov, is one of those movies that ends up being a solid time — but mostly because my expectations were pretty low going in. The premise is undeniably cool. In a near-future world, AI systems have been integrated into the justice system, acting as judge, jury, and executioner. When Chris…

Captain America (1979) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐☆☆☆☆ Captain America is a reminder that superhero movies were not always what they are today. And while I fully understand this was a late-70s TV production directed by Rod Holcomb, that context only goes so far. Marvel has come an awfully long way since this. Let me be clear — I love older films.…

One Battle After Another (2025) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ One Battle After Another is one of those movies where you sit down expecting a solid thriller… and end up getting an absolute rush from start to finish. I didn’t feel a single second of the runtime. Not one. It just moves. The story follows a chain-reaction conflict that keeps escalating — personal grudges…

Greenland (2020) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Greenland is one of those movies that mostly works as a survival thriller — but doesn’t quite escape the familiar pitfalls of its genre. It’s intense, it keeps you engaged, and it has moments that grip you… But it also occasionally feels too predictable to fully elevate itself above your average disaster flick. The…

F1 (2025) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ F1 is the kind of movie that reminds you why theatrical experiences still matter. From the opening moments, it’s clear this film is firing on all cylinders — not just as a racing movie, but as a character-driven drama that fully understands how to balance spectacle with heart. The first thing that hit me…

Superman and the Mole Men (1951) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐☆☆☆ Superman and the Mole Men is one of those movies that feels more like a historical artifact than a fully realized story — and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. For a film released in 1951, it’s competently made, clearly sincere in its message, and honestly more engaging than I expected it to be.…

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The Wrecking Crew is the kind of movie you throw on when you just want to shut your brain off and have a good time — and honestly, I was fully on board with that from the opening scene. Not every film needs to be dissected, analyzed, or unpacked. Movies like this serve a…

The Rip (2026) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The Rip is exactly the kind of crime thriller that reminds me why I love this genre so much. It’s tight, confident, and driven almost entirely by story and dialogue, and it proves that even familiar territory can still feel fresh when it’s executed well. I’m a sucker for single-location thrillers, and this one…

Love and Monsters (2020) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Love and Monsters is one of those movies that completely caught me off guard — in the best way. I remember enjoying it the first time I watched it, but revisiting it to show my girlfriend, I honestly liked it just as much, if not more. It’s charming, funny, surprisingly heartfelt, and way better…

The 5th Wave (2016) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐☆☆☆ The 5th Wave is a perfectly fine young adult alien invasion movie — and that’s kind of the problem. It’s not terrible, it’s not unwatchable, but it never rises above “okay,” and it never becomes as tense or memorable as it wants to be. Based on the novel by Rick Yancey and directed by…
