Rapid Movie Reviews: June 2026

Summer movie season is in full swing. Here's what you missed from my Letterboxd reviews...

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ⭐️⭐️1/2

Adequately scratches a nostalgic itch but the inconsistent tone and overloaded themes make you scratch your head.

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wonder how much Sigourney was paid for a week’s worth of filming this extra-long episode of a Disney+ series I never watched.

SCARY MOVIE ⭐️1/2

1.5 stars to generously reflect how many times I had a decent chuckle. That said, if you enjoy lazily written humor that appeals to 14-year-old boys (and certain bros) and hasn’t evolved SINCE you were a 14-year-old, then have at it.

DISCLOSURE DAY ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

“Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know.” Spielberg’s thesis behind his latest sci-fi thriller is meant to speak to a 2026 world, yet the execution, though sharp and skillful, feels a little 2006. Blunt and O’Connor are terrific while navigating a script that tries hard to weave in our sociopolitical moment with religion and other *universal* themes. Meanwhile, Colman Domingo serves as an emcee for empathy, and Colin Firth is a Big Bad who’d fit right in on a season of the X-Files reboot. 

STOP! THAT! TRAIN! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The new Scary Movie wishes its jokes were as funny as the ones in this dragtacular joyride. 

TOY STORY 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

A wonderfully rendered reminder of the power of imagination. And get this: tech has feelings too (but not in a creepy AI way). Overall, TS5 doesn’t have the emotional gut-punch of TS3 but it does make up for 2019’s cash-grabby TS4.

SUPERGIRL ⭐️⭐️

You might have fun…if you can get past the reheated GOTG and Mad Max leftovers and a tediously derivative script that turns our gal Kara into a disaffected Gen Zer who can’t be bothered while touring bland landscapes in between uninspired action sequences and butting heads with a sex-trafficking villain who stepped out of a straight-to-DVD flick from 2002. Milly Alcock carries it all, for sure, but someone else needs to carry the DCU elsewhere.

LEVITICUS ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

It’s what you’d get if Heartstopper were a horror flick commenting on the insidious abuse of religion, set in a bleak factory town that’s even more oppressive for our main character who’s on the verge of literal twink death.
