A ★½ review of Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025)
Now You See Me: Now You Don't ★½ 35/100 - There's just no level of disbelief suspension that will ever allow me to like these movies. The 'Now You See Me' franchise dives too deep into the territory of "stupid" for my taste. I love wild, whacky, and out-there movies, but am willing to accept being a curmudgeon over this franchise about magicians... or wizards... or whatever they are supposed to be.
A ★★½ review of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025)
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere ★★½ 59/100 - I am a massive Bruce Springsteen fan, so this was a tough one for me. 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' doesn't work on a multitude of levels, and I think that holds up even when I set my fandom aside. It's a valiant effort from Jeremy Allen White, and there is an attempt to do something a little different here, but it can't avoid falling into countless holes of music biopic cliches.
A ★★ review of A House of Dynamite (2025)
A House of Dynamite ★★ 40/100 - This movie was a huge letdown and could have been so much better. I won’t spoil how it ends… but WOW… to essentially tell the story three separate times, and do that? Rough. Dare I say this could have been, as currently structured, a decent mini-series? The biggest issue with ‘House of Dynamite’ comes down to characters and failing to connect or care about anyone as an audience member.
A ★★★ review of The Smashing Machine (2025)
The Smashing Machine ★★★ 65/100 - This just simply didn't work for me. Story, plot, character, you name it, I left the theater wondering exactly what I had just watched. It's shot well, edited with care, and the acting is superb (The Rock is really good, just not sure if it's Oscar-worthy), but the movie is disjointed, and at times boring & repetitive. Nothing felt fleshed out or developed enough to amount to much of anything.
A ★★★★★ review of One Battle After Another (2025)
One Battle After Another ★★★★★ Liked 95/100 - Happy to report that Paul Thomas Anderson cooked with this one. The movie gets out of the gate a little wobbly and too chaotic, but once it gets its feet squarely set, this movie is absolutely fantastic. Everyone in the cast shines, but, in this short form review, the highest praise has to go to the psychotic, captivating role played by Sean Penn.
‘Weapons’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
Weapons ★★★★½ Liked 92/100 - After making a surprise hit in 'Barbarian' a few years back, Zach Cregger sharped his skills and delivered an even better movie in my eyes. 'Weapons' is suspenseful, fucking wild, filled with fights, and is a fantastic time at the movie theater. This is the type of genre-blending that makes you go "oh yeah, they have the sauce" about a director. The storytelling format might turn some people off, but it worked perfectly for me.
We Have A New "Worst Movie Ever" Candidate: Ice Cube's 'War of the Worlds' Remake
ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! A new "worst movie of all time" has entered the chat! Do you like the 'WAR OF THE WORLDS' property? Books? Movies? The one with Tom Cruise? Have you ever said to yourself, "man, I wish they took this iconic piece of literature, and turned it into a movie viewed only through computer and phone screens"?
A ½ review of War of the Worlds (2025)
War of the Worlds ½ 00/100 - Jaw-dropping in the worst way possible. One of the five worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life. This also features one of the grossest examples of product placement ever put into a movie or tv show. Baffling. Holy hell. 2025 Movie Rankings year_2025 genre_reboot/remake streaming_amazon prime original 000/100 profile
‘The Naked Gun’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
The Naked Gun ★★★★ Liked 85/100 - Comedies, are they back!? In a world where the traditional, old-school pure comedy has all but died in terms of being exhibited in theaters, 'The Naked Gun' (2025) is an unexpected breath of fresh air. It's incredible what happens when funny filmmakers respect their audience and deliver a fast-paced & creative comedy.

A ★★★½ review of The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
The Fantastic Four: First Steps ★★★½ Liked 84/100 - Never has the term "good, not great" stung so much for me walking out of a movie. There is a ton to love with the first successful Fantastic Four movie (that's the good news), but there is a very clear lack of realized potential with the finished product. The characters are fun thanks to great casting, the aesthetic of the environment is great, and the score (and theme song!) is elite.
‘Eddington’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
Eddington ★★★★½ Liked 93/100 - This movie is brilliant, and people will either love it, or absolutely despise it. The story is meant to ruffle some feathers, offend you while offending the opposing viewpoint at the same time, and perfectly represent the dread & chaos of the world that was during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It's a tad over-baked in terms of ideas, but I can excuse that because there was a clear intent from Ari Aster (a genius) to muddy the waters of the story a bit.
‘Superman’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
Superman ★★★★ Liked 89/100 - Superman! I'm not even sure how else to begin putting my thoughts down. This is an awesome movie, and everything just explodes off of the screen. The performances (unreal casting efforts; Corenswet, Brosnahan, Hoult, Fillion, etc. all crush their roles) are great, the visual style is infectious, the score rips, it was funny yet touching, and overall, this is a slam dunk arrival for the re-birth of on-screen Superman and the new DCU. Now, is it perfect?
The Best & Worst Movies of 2025, So Far (According To Jeff D Lowe)
We are halfway through 2025, so there's no better time than now to check look at the best & worst of the big screen, so far. Let's start off by stating some important: PLEASE GO TO THE MOVIES. Don't wait for streaming. Get your ass to a theater, pay for a movie, and enjoy it how it was meant to be seen. I advocate for going to the theater as many times as possible. It's an experience we cannot lose… EVER. Now, with that said, I can't quite call 2025 a great year for movies (so far, at least).
A ★★½ review of Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)
Jurassic World Rebirth ★★½ 67/100 - Sigh. A chance to reboot the franchise, and do something worthwhile, and they managed to make a quintessential bland, safe, soft reboot that doesn't even come close to moving the needle. If the studio wanted a Jurassic movie that is "not the worst," they definitely succeeded, because it does enough to hold your attention before immediately leaving your mind. There will be fans of this, as it is a beloved franchise, but talk about forgettable.
‘M3GAN 2.0’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
M3GAN 2.0 ★★½ 69/100 - Fun in spots, 'M3GAN 2.0' tries some different things compared to its predecessor, which is commendable, but it can never capture the same magic. The first movie was such a strange phenomenon and, while I'd argue the sequel is better than it has any right being, I am not sure we should've expected anything great from the sequel. 2025 Movie Rankings genre_sequel franchise_m3gan year_2025 069/100 profile
‘F1 The Movie’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
F1 The Movie ★★★½ 82/100 - This was really great... until it wasn't. There is a story choice made in the back half of the movie, honestly as last as the back third, that took me right out of the movie. While much of the movie leans into sports cliches, it still delivers on a really good sports movie experience. Everything from the visuals to the music was badass and had me gripping my seat... but this one character undoes so much of it.
‘Ballerina’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
★★★½ 84/100 - A month before release, I would've gladly accepted this movie being anything other than "dead on arrival." Yet, somehow, someway 'Ballerina' has proved itself to be a fine addition to the John Wick Universe. Now, with that said, it's clear what the "somehow, someway" ended up being: Chad Stahelski saving the day. What they did to right the ship with the movie worked, and then some.

‘Bring Her Back’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
★★★★ 85/100 - When I left the theater, an audience member turned back to me and simply said, "that was fucked." Spot on my fellow moviegoer, spot on. The Philippou brothers, who burst onto the scene with 2023's 'Talk To Me', clearly have the horror sauce. I would have preferred a little more leaning into the story over the shock value, but that's a nitpick. It's also worth noting too that Sally Hawkins, and everyone involved, adds another layer to this movie with their performances.
‘Friendship’ review by Jeff D Lowe • Letterboxd
★★★★½ Liked 90/100 - Tim Robinson finding a way to take his character(s) from 'I Think You Should Leave' and seamlessly work him into a dark dramedy with actual emotional weight is fucking impressive. Inside all of the silliness are some relatable & humanizing moments in this that elevate the movie to an unexpected height. 'Friendship' will be one of those comedies that ages well over time and picks up a following. Bravo! 2025 Movie Rankings genre_comedy genre_dramedy year_2025 090/100 profile
A ★★★★ review of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)
★★★★ Liked 87/100 - Long in the tooth at times, 'Final Reckoning' seizes the moment in the back half of its runtime with "wow" moment after "wow' moment. Heavy exposition early on eventually flows right into some of the wildest action set-pieces you will ever see, along with an incredibly satisfying storyline that pulls out all types of emotions, from a bunch of laughs to edge-of-your-seat anxiety.
