Movies TV Shows
Thrash (2026) 36% 2/5 EDIT “An insanely silly and at times bafflingly bad survival thriller that still makes for decent throwaway entertainment despite its litany of shortcomings.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Preschool (2026) 3/5 EDIT “It’s a silly yet oddly endearing movie…At times it threatens to push the antics too far. But Duhamel the director keeps things wrangled together, delivering a big-hearted crowd-pleaser anchored by a fun ensemble.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 69% 2.5/5 EDIT “The results are surprisingly intriguing and at times fittingly unnerving. That is until everything threatens to crumble in a wobbly final act where absurdity undermines the big finish the film is going for.” – Keith & the Movies Apr 8, 2026 Full Review You're Dating a Narcissist! (2025) 50% 2/5 EDIT “"You’re Dating a Narcissist!" teases itself as a smart and sincere anti-romcom. But the film quickly devolves into an unrelatable, formulaic, and borderline obnoxious swing-and-miss.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “There’s no way it all should gel as well as it does. Yet it mostly clicks thanks to its lights-out cast, a wacky imagination, and a playful energy that’s only matched by its infectious charm.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 28, 2026 Full Review She Dances (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “"She Dances" hits its marks as a routinely funny comedy and a bittersweet family drama. It’s a film that surprises on many levels, never more than when its deeper themes rise to the surface.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Miroirs No. 3 (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “What starts as a beguiling mystery quickly gives way to a story about grief, healing, and the power of human connection... It turns out to be a nice fit for Petzold’s minimalist yet broadly observant style.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 2.5/5 EDIT “While "Ready or Not 2" floods us with more gore, more lore, and more mind-numbing f-bombs than before, it also features less laughs and even fewer surprises. Still Weaving and Newton give it their all, making it easier to navigate the frustrations.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The film looks amazing with its heavy reliance on impressive practical effects. Yet it’s the inescapable feel-good charm and stirring emotional core that make the film so utterly irresistible.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Wardriver (2026) 100% 2.5/5 EDIT “There are several things to appreciate about Thomas’ direction, from her choices with the camera to her trust in her actors. But the story, and more specifically the characters, are practically begging for more depth. ” – Keith & the Movies Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Containment (2024) 2/5 EDIT “Another chiller that hits so many familiar beats that you’ll immediately recognize the tune. ” – Keith & the Movies Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 69% 2/5 EDIT “There are times when Wang hits her marks. But it’s her broader critiques that fall apart, specifically in her observations on whiteness and Americanism. They’re too absurd to be seriously considered and too broad to be insightful.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead (2026) 42% 3/5 EDIT ““Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead” is a notably fresh and imaginative slice of dystopian sci-fi that manages to transport us to a fascinating new world without breaking the proverbial bank.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Bodycam (2025) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “"Bodycam" is a tense and eerie Shudder Original that breathes some much-needed new life into the found-footage formula.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 9, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 69% 4/5 EDIT “Enter "War Machine", an unashamed and unapologetic slice of military sci-fi that openly wears its influences like badges of honor.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 6, 2026 Full Review The Bluff (2026) 54% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Frank E. Flowers removes the playful, romanticized buccaneer veneer to make a high-energy, no-nonsense foray into a genre we rarely see these days.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Dreams (2025) 52% 2/5 EDIT “A strangely confounding psychodrama that seems to have several things it wants to say but no firm grasp on how to say them. It’s cold, sometimes aimless, and borderline absurd at times in its attempts to find a steady pulse.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Honeyjoon (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “An emotionally rich, life-affirming dramedy…It all makes for a strong first feature and it will be exciting to see what Mehrel does next.” – Keith & the Movies Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 30% 3.5/5 EDIT “A nice return to form for a long-running film series that needed to be reminded of what made it popular. It’s hardly groundbreaking….But it nails the basics, from its gloriously gory kills to its classic killer and all-star final girl.” – Keith & the Movies Feb 28, 2026 Full Review The Dreadful (2026) 36% 2/5 EDIT “While the movie does its title justice by conveying a steady sense of dread, neither the slow-developing character drama or the dark mystery pays off in the way they need to.” – Keith & the Movies Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “"The Whole Bloody Affair" is Quentin Tarantino’s uncut, unrated, and unleashed magnum opus. It’s the fulfillment of a former video store clerk’s dream and a virtuosic showcase for one of the most defining auteurs of our time.” – Keith & the Movies Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 9% 2/5 EDIT “"Psycho Killer" falls well short of its potential due to its scattershot storytelling, some mind-boggling choices, and an ending that feels yanked from another movie entirely.” – Keith & the Movies Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Midwinter Break (2026) 63% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s a movie that’s not afraid to deal earnestly and honestly with its themes, while treating an underserved adult audience the kind of offering they rarely get these days. It's intimate, nuanced, emotionally textured, and remarkably restrained.” – Keith & the Movies Feb 21, 2026 Full Review The Mortuary Assistant (2026) 37% 2/5 EDIT “You can see all the ingredients for a wickedly entertaining chiller…But the too frequent “Let me explain” moments bog things down while the ‘dream versus reality’ aspect grows more repetitive than revelatory.” – Keith & the Movies Feb 20, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% 3/5 EDIT “There’s not much in "The Wrecking Crew" that will catch you by surprise...But Momoa and Bautista bring enough of their charisma and chemistry to make this by-the-book buddy action-comedy click.” – Keith & the Movies Feb 19, 2026 Full Review
