I vow to keep track of the movies I watch in 2026. I started doing these little mini-reviews for 2025 movies and it’s turned into a great way to remind myself to search for moves as they arrive on streaming. I’ve seen so many good movies that I might have missed otherwise! So here we go for 2026. I’ll include movies I love, those I hate, and the many that fall somewhere in the middle.
Is there something that I haven’t seen yet that you loved? Leave a comment so I can put it on my to-be-watched list!

Project Hail Mary
Main Cast: Ryan Gosling, James Ortiz
Directors: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
5 Stars
Actually went to a movie theater for Project Hail Mary! I’m glad I did because it’s visually fabulous. But there’s enough other great stuff here that it will be very fun even on a smaller screen once it’s streaming. I’m also interested now in reading the book by Andy Weir.
I loved the movie. You can read my full review here.
I watched Project Hail Mary in the theaters.
The Rip
Main Cast: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck
Director: Joe Carnahan
3 Stars
A team of narcotics cops find their trust tested by a huge drug house cash stash. The Rip is a loud, violent action thriller based on a true story. It isn’t terribly great from a story perspective but is full of good actors who give strong performances, lifting it above similar films.
I watched The Rip on Netflix.
Sue reads a lot, writes a lot, edits a lot, and loves a good craft. She was deemed “too picky” to proofread her children’s school papers and wears this as a badge of honor. She is also proud of her aggressively average knitting skills. TV and indie movies are her jam.
