This month, we’ll take a look at three films, one a couple years old and two newer releases. Two of the three are well worth your time!

They say crime doesn’t pay. And it usually doesn’t (because you will eventually get caught and go to prison). But what crime does do is make for an entertaining movie genre.

This July, we’ll take a look at three independent, low-budget films. Two are horror movies that performed far better than anyone expected at the box office. The third is a romantic crime thriller. All three are worth considering as now streaming titles to watch.

Sometimes horror movies take off and become major successes despite relatively small production budgets. Two of the most impressive films at the box office in 2026 fall into that category: Obsession and Backrooms. But what about quality horror movies that don’t take off the same way?

Whether you’re in the mood for horror, a war drama based on a true story, or a lighthearted musical comedy, this roundup features three films that are all worth watching.

Mind-bending movies are some of my favorite types of films. In some cases, they force viewers to question what’s real and actually going on. In other instances, a story can be mind-bending through the ideas or concepts it presents.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a horror comedy that’s neither scary nor funny. When you consider that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie’s 2019 predecessor, Ready or Not, Ready or Not 2 is a major disappointment.

This April, let’s take a look at three newly streaming 2026 releases. Are any of these films really worth checking out in your allotted movie-viewing hours?

This month, we’ll review two recently streaming releases along with a film that’s over a decade old that you might have missed.

This February, we’ll take a look at a trio of newly streaming titles. Featured in this month’s films: the trials and tribulations of a musical duo, an employment situation that’s quite a bit off the wall, and a chimpanzee that goes bananas.

Technically, a period piece is just any film set in a past era. When I think of period piece movies though, I usually first think of films set at least a hundred or so years ago. More specifically, I personally think of movies set in Europe around the years 1700-1900.

In our first movie roundup of 2026, we’ll take a look at a trio of films from last year. These movies might all have two-word titles, but when comparing these three films to one another, the similarities basically stop there.

Predator: Badlands… more like Predator: Bad Movie.

It’s been a while since I enjoyed a movie less than I did Predator: Badlands. It’s not even bad in a “fun-bad” way; it’s like watching an overlong video game cutscene.

It’s hard to believe that 2025 has come to an end. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday everyone was in a panic because all of the world’s infrastructure was going to shut down because of the Y2K bug. Now we’re suddenly a quarter done with this century.

As the year nears an end, let’s take some time to review three more 2025 films. Are any of these titles worth checking out before we head into 2026?

Wake Up Dead Man, the third entry into writer-director Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series, is far from awful, but, considering the critical acclaim it’s received, is a major disappointment and extremely overrated.

There are plenty of movies to choose from when you’re looking for a new film, but finding something of quality can be harder than you’d expect. Luckily, these three 2025 releases are all available to stream currently and are each well worth a watch!

What happens when everything goes very, very wrong? In this month’s movie reviews, we’ll take a look at three films that takes a look at this very question, each in a different time period and under a unique set of circumstances.

Get ready for a bonus roundup of three more movie reviews for September. However, unless your tastes are quite different than mine, only one of these films is likely worth your time.

This month’s movie reviews run the gamut in terms of genres; we’ve got everything from heartfelt drama to action-thriller and horror. Amongst these three summer releases is also my favorite new release of the season so far.
