A sci-fi mystery about a man investigating a death using experimental memory technology, Rememory is an intriguing story with strong performances, though the narrative feels a bit loose. When it comes to science fiction films that fly under the radar, they can be very hit or miss. Sometimes you get something exciting and original, like…
A quirky crime story about hitmen caught in a time loop, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a clever, tongue-in-cheek comedy with enough charm to keep it enjoyable even as it starts to feel a bit played out. When I first saw the name of this movie, it immediately reminded me of Bob…
A visually stunning reimagining in the world of Frankenstein, The Bride! centers on female independence and features a fearless performance from Jessie Buckley. Without any planning, the last four months of my film-watching career have included three Frankenstein films. When Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein was released in November of 2025, I watched it and loved…
A science-driven adventure about a lone astronaut trying to save humanity, Project Hail Mary is charming, funny, and genuinely heartfelt, with an exciting story and two deeply lovable characters at its center. I am a huge fan of The Martian. Right after the movie was released in 2015, I read the book by Andy Weir….
A tender science-fiction drama about a household robot who begins to develop human emotions, Bicentennial Man is far sweeter and more profound than I expected. Robin Williams had an incredible career in comedy, but his more serious roles are my favorites. As husband Chris Nielsen in What Dreams May Come, he tugged at our hearts,…
A film that centers on three different stories spanning thousands of years, In The Blink Of An Eye makes you think about existence and community, but is lacking in the emotional depth department. I have seen a LOT of bad movies, so when I first glanced at the reviews for this (which are not great),…
A painfully awkward film about selfish humans who keep androids of themselves to do everything they don’t want to do, Robots purports to be a romantic comedy, but it’s just not funny. Every once in a while, you come across a movie that could be cute. You have a gut feeling that it might not…
A dystopian sci-fi thriller about a facility in which members live to avoid outside contamination and hope to win the coveted lottery, The Island is a story that gets better the longer you watch. There are some really entertaining movies about a dystopian future. The Hunger Games series, The Matrix series, The Long Walk, Snowpiercer…
A thriller about a woman who hears a crime committed while monitoring an AI stream, Kimi has some good ideas that play out poorly, yet a winning lead in Zoë Kravitz. When it comes to reliving the pandemic, I think it’s fair to say that there isn’t a huge appetite for it. Regardless of your…
A cute film about two teenagers stuck reliving the same day on repeat, The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things does a good job of highlighting the greatness of moments that usually go unnoticed. There have been a number of films released in the last two decades where individuals are stuck in a time loop. There…
A dystopian thriller about a paraplegic man who receives an implant that gives his body hyperabilities, Upgrade is a middle-of-the-road film until the ending gives it a boost. One of the best things about futuristic sci-fi films is that they can do anything they want. They can build any world that they want, create any…
A fascinating film that centers around a group of aliens that has landed in our world and inhabits a small area of South Africa, District 9 has a mockumentary feel with an interesting story to tell. There is a common saying that basically says there are no new ideas. Mark Twain is credited with the…
