Nate at the Movies: September 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back another month of movies. Let's find you something worth watching. 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies Forgotten Island (2026) One of the craziest movies of the year (animated or otherwise), Forgotten Island was powerful and fun and has been criminally underseen so far—get out there, moviegoers! "Forgotten Island was another DreamWorks masterclass in emotional storytelling and gorgeous animation, but the passion for such...

Nate at the Movies: August 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back another month of movies. Let's find you something worth watching. 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies The Rivals of Amziah King (2025) The Rivals of Amziah King was hardly on my radar to begin the month, but I was wrong to doubt Matthew McConaughey. Bee movies have made some noise over the last few years, and the unabashed joy and intensity oozing from this movie was sweet as honey. "Between the touching family and community...

Nate at the Movies: July 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back to another month of movies. Let's find you something worth watching. 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies The Odyssey (2026) You don't need me to tell you to go see The Odyssey—everybody and their mom (and my mom!) has seen it. Whether it's one of Nolan's best is up to you, but between the impossible scale, amazing practical filmmaking, and the deafening sound, I'd say "Nolan's best" is within reach. "Imposing, intense, emotional,...

Nate at the Movies: June 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back another month of movies. Let's find you something worth watching. 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies Disclosure Day (2026) This was the first movie since Project Hail Mary in March to really arrest me while I was watching. No bathroom break, no checking the time, no leaning over to Morgan to talk. I'm not sure why everyone else is more split on this movie, but this was Spielberg summer blockbuster at its finest. "No one shoots a...

Nate at the Movies: May 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back another month of movies. Let's find you something worth watching. 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies The Sheep Detectives (2026) I didn't expect a talking animal movie to move me to the edge of tears, but that's what the end of the school year, Hugh Jackman, and Lord and Miller will do to you. That's back-to-back years now with a movie with a silly little title being absolutely great. "The Sheep Detectives accomplished exactly what...

Nate at the Movies: April 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back to another month of movies. Let's find you something worth watching. 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies Over Your Dead Body (2026) Usually I put my top-ranked new release from the month here in the primo spot, but everyone already knows about Michael. This is a great space to talk about the incredibly creative, funny, and snappy Over Your Dead Body, which is going to get slept on and it's a darn shame. Jason Segel at his finest,...

Nate at the Movies: March 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back another month of movies. Let's find you something worth watching. 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies Project Hail Mary (2026) Loyal readers know I've been hyping up this movie for at least a year, and it delivered on all fronts. I saw this twice this month, because it's the best sci-fi movie to come out since Interstellar, in my opinion. If you want a movie with stellar humor, heart, and visuals, Project Hail Mary won't...

Nate at the Movies: February 2026 Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back to my monthly roundup—let's go find you a movie or two to check out! 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Easily one of the best comedies of the decade (or ever?), Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was the shock of the year so far, and if the closest theater to me showing it wasn't in Denton, I would have already seen this again. And probably a third time. "This was hilarious,...

Nate at the Movies: Month/Year Roundup 🍿 Hey, Reader! Welcome back to my monthly roundup—let's go find you a movie or two to check out! 🌟 This Month's Must-See Movies The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Though technically a 2025 release, January usually means catching up on the best of what I missed, and Ann Lee was just that, featuring a powerhouse performance from Amanda Seyfried and a bunch of surprising tunes that I haven't gotten out of my head yet. "I would be lying if I didn’t say I was...
