Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters is the most original and audacious movie of 2026. A cinematic shot of energy, color, and creativity with big ideas and an even bigger vision. It’s as unique, entertaining, thought-provoking, and fun as movies get. Keke Palmer stars as Corvette, an aspiring fashion designer, down on her luck. She lives in an abandoned fried chicken restaurant and makes her money stealing clothes and selling them for a lower price. Her…

  There is one thing you need to know and one thing you need to remember before going into Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. What you need to know is that you do not need to have watched The Mandalorian Disney+ show to understand what is going on.

  Carolina Caroline is a Southern-soaked Bonnie and Clyde road trip movie about love, passion, crime, and greed. Samara Weaving stars as the titular Caroline, a seemingly simple young woman living on the outskirts of Texas with her father (John Gries).

    There is something refreshingly straightforward about Daniel Roher’s crime drama Tuner. The film follows Niki (Leo Woodall), a young man who was once a gifted pianist, only for him to be diagnosed with hyperacusis. This condition essentially makes him allergic to loud noises. He wears specialized earbuds all day and puts on larger ones when he’s around louder noises like sirens. Niki has perfect pitch and works as a piano tuner with Henry…

  I first saw Olivia Wilde’s The Invite at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and I loved the film. It was one of my favorite movies at this year’s festival and exceeded the buzz built around it throughout the festival. But was it truly a great comedy? A comedy solidifies its greatness with repeated viewings, confirming whether the jokes still land when you know what they are, and whether the film remains entertaining even knowing…
