Irish Wish (2024) |
Despite the lovely chemistry between Speleers and Lohan, Irish Wish did not rattle my preconceived notions — if anything, it’s the worst version of my hated tropes. - Polygon

Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) |
Kung Fu Panda 4 has enough solid scenes to make it an acceptable fourth entry in a franchise, but the plot doesn’t come together in a way that would elevate it to the franchise’s earlier heights. - Polygon

Lisa Frankenstein (2024) |
Even though this movie is sometimes haphazardly stitched together, like a dismembered hand added onto a corpse, Lisa Frankenstein is shocked back to life by magnetic visuals, engaging chemistry, and deliciously escalating motives. - Polygon

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) |
The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes shows us what happens if we get too carried away by propaganda, luxury, and the promise of safety. In that way, it’s a fitting end to the franchise — and a fitting end to the way the genre evolved into a beast of its own. - Polygon

The Little Mermaid (2023) |
What makes The Little Mermaid isn’t whether the fish look good, or what exactly fuels Triton and Ursula’s feud. It all comes back to Ariel and her journey, which is fueled by the central romance between her and Eric. - Polygon
