Mortal Kombat II
2026 · KoiMoi
Mortal Kombat II has a lot of flaws, but it remains fun throughout, especially if you are a fan of the video game franchise. The script might be the worst thing about the film; it feels full of holes, lacks connective tissue between scenes and ideas, and also starts to set up a sequel a bit too early. This is a perfect example of wasted potential, as the Mortal Kombat franchise could have really been an amazing story for the silver screen.
Project Hail Mary
2026 · KoiMoi
Project Hail Mary is a fantastic blockbuster; it is fun, insightful, and heartwarming, and it has just good vibes all around. Ryan Gosling is just amazing in the role, and his comedic timing might be the film's greatest asset.
Michael
2026 · KoiMoi
Michael is not a bad film; it is just a very superficial one, which leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The script gives the film one central conflict, that of Michael with his father, Joseph, and it all ends up in the classic abusive father kind of thing we have seen before a million times... but it is not compelling enough. Michael is an okay movie; it isn't bad, but it isn't good either.
The Devil Wears Prada 2
2026 · KoiMoi
The Devil Wears Prada 2 manages to avoid the bad sequel curse and delivers a good old fun movie with good vibes, understands the characters in it, and is willing to put them in uncomfortable situations to show that success doesn't come for free. The characters and the production values are excellent, with the movie definitely wanting to cause awe with its depiction of fashion.
Mutiny
2026 · KoiMoi
Mutiny delivers familiar Statham thrills with a predictable edge. There isn't as much action as it should be, and the feeling of having watched this movie before never leaves you.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
2026 · KoiMoi
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple serves as a fantastic sequel to last year's film and basically improves on that film in every single possible way, delivering one of the best zombie films of the last decades and elevating the horror genre to a new level.
Toy Story 5
2026 · KoiMoi
Toy Story 5 is a must-watch for fans of the series or anyone who wants just a fun animated movie. The film is hilarious, and the new angle on theme and plot feels fresh enough to be worth the trip to the cinema. Toy Story 5 cleans the stage after the fourth installment mess and makes the franchise seem relevant again.
Disclosure Day
2026 · KoiMoi
Disclosure Day keeps Spielberg working at the level he has done for the second half of his career, where he makes entertaining movies that just lack a sense of true wonder and focus on themes and ideas that, while interesting, become too cliché to create any sort of interest beyond the introduction of those ideas in the first place. Sadly, Disclosure Day doesn't break the streak of Spielberg doing films with tons of potential that don't really hit the nail in the end.
Masters of the Universe
2026 · KoiMoi
Masters of the Universe is a fun but shallow blockbuster that does too much in the wrong direction and forgets that the characters are the main engine of any story. The visual effects are inconsistent, and the movie is just too long for what it tries to do.
Mercy
2026 · KoiMoi
This film is pretty much a failure on all levels, especially as there are a couple of moments where you can see the potential, but it is squandered. The writing feels off; it never manages to feel serious enough to match the film's tone, and this hurts the rest of the picture on all levels.
Greenland 2: Migration
2026 · KoiMoi
Gerard Butler's charisma is unmatched and carries the entire thing, but the film's script is full of holes and conveniences that significantly hurt the narrative, making the film feel like it lacks stakes. This is a cash grab sequel made only for business purposes that many will watch, but few will remember.
Shelter
2026 · KoiMoi
Shelter is an enjoyable action thriller that offers us a bit of what the Jason Statham brand has been made famous for, but sadly, it lacks passion, and big moments to make the film standout. While entertaining, it is still a low point in his filmography.
Scream 7
2026 · KoiMoi
Scream 7 is just okay; it might serve as a good film to watch down the line on digital, but this is not the "once and for all" film that the tagline is trying to sell, as the writing and the direction are not up to par with that level of ambition, and as such, while the film entertains, it also lacks the punch of being just plain fun to watch.
Insidious: Out of the Further
2026 · KoiMoi · Aug 2026
Insidious: Out of the Further is not the best film in franchise, and not even the best horror film of the year, but it is a solid addition to the franchise, especially if you are interested in the lore and want to meet more of the very interesting creatures that franchise has to offer, along with solid performances and just an entertaining story as well.
Tony
2026 · KoiMoi · Aug 2026
Tony is maybe one of the best films of the year, and this is coming from someone who doesn't gel often with biopics, but here, the subject is fascinating and the team bringing his story to life is doing so in such a way that it feels genuine and full of passion. The performances are top-level, so much so that it is easy to see this being heavily awarded during awards season.
The End of Oak Street
2026 · KoiMoi · Aug 2026
The End of Oak Street is truly a fun blockbuster, just like those Hollywood used to make four decades ago; it is simple, fun, and ambitious. While it isn't perfect at all, it has enough personality to overcome those hurdles and deliver an intimate yet fantastical story in just 90 minutes.
