Welcome back to the blog readers. Romantic films are a kind of film that I could never really get into all that much because they are almost all predictable. Each film in the genre almost feels like a glorified Lifetime film with their campy and unoriginal nature. Hearing about this film's release really confused me, because I do not recall ever really needing to see another adaptation of the novel, but alas, here we are. Given what we got, would the film at least be enjoyabl

Welcome back to the blog readers. The world has long been missing director Gore Verbinski since he directed the film A Cure for Wellness (2016) and, as the kids say nowadays, dipped for a decade. Hearing about this film absolutely intrigued me since I am very much against the use of artificial intelligence at all, and I love a good amount of people in this film. Would my expectations be met or would I wind up being disappointed? Stick around to find out. Good Luck, Have Fun,

Welcome back to the blog readers. Crime thriller is a genre that I can be a real big fan of, especially if the film is done right. I remember hearing about this film from my main man John Campea, who went to CinemaCon in April and saw footage from this film. Obviously, since I did not go to Vegas, I had no idea what to expect from this film. Would I come out of this film happy or disappointed? Stick around to find out. Crime 101 was written and directed by Bart Layton, based

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you may know, I am on my soon-to-be annual marathon of watching all of the Best Picture nominees that I call my "Best Picture Expedition." This year, I have also decided to watch every single acting nominee, which is normally a bit difficult but this year is different. Watching all the Best Picture nominees (and already having seen Weapons (2025)) will get me to seventeen out of the twenty. For the odd three, this is one of the films that

Welcome back to the blog readers. Wonder Man (2026) has been such a delight to watch over the last few weeks. The satirical look at Hollywood and the struggle that actors face every day is not as prevalent as something in say, The Studio (2025-), but it still works. The chemistry between our two leads is stellar and all the more reason to want to watch this show. I know I am only two episodes in, but I buy it almost immediately. Going into this episode, titled "Pacoima," writ

Welcome back to the blog readers. In case you have not been around for the last few weeks, I have begun to fall in love with the newest series in the Game of Thrones universe titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-). The setting is perfect for another show in this world, the characters are all bright and colorful, and the main chemistry between "Dunk" and "Egg" is off the charts. Now that we have made it to the second half of this show and everyone's true colors have bee

Welcome back to the blog readers. Now that the dust has settled on the Academy Award nominations, I get to start up my Best Picture Expedition proper. In case you were not around last year, the Best Picture Expedition is where I venture to watch every film nominated for the highest honor: Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Watching this film was going to put me at halfway since I had already seen F1, Sinners, Marty Supreme, and One Battle After Another (all 2025). Would this

Welcome back to the blog readers. I have to say that I really enjoyed getting to watch the dynamic between Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery in the newest Marvel series Wonder Man (2026). Even though we only briefly saw them, it truly feels like we are watching two people that are incredibly close friends. The story of the last episode was solid and created a good foundation, but I am really curious to see where we go next. Would this second episode, titled "Self-Tape," writ

Welcome back to the blog readers. I have really been enjoying the newest series in the Game of Thrones universe titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-). While it may not be as flashy as something like House of the Dragon (2022-), it is different enough to warrant enjoyment for me. The chemistry between our two leads has been beautifully stellar and the atmosphere has been light but not too light. Now that we are halfway through this season, would we begin to crack the p

Welcome back to the blog readers. If you were following me throughout 2025, then you would know that I have a love/hate relationship with horror films. Last year was the best year for horror films that I have ever been a part of, and 2026 is getting off to a pretty decent start. This film has been on my radar ever since I heard about it since I love who is in the director's chair. The reviews were very kind to the film and I got hopeful I would have a fun time. Would my hope

Welcome back to the blog readers. It has been a minute since I got to watch a Marvel series, with the last one being the very disappointing Ironheart (2025). I was hoping for a series that I could really sink my teeth into, and I had a feeling that this series was going to be a big swing (especially since this show has many people I like in it). Would the premiere, titled "Matinee," written by Andrew Guest, and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, be able to get us started on t

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know by now, I am a fervent fan of the content that we have gotten in the Game of Thrones universe. While I may love House of the Dragon (2022-) more than Game of Thrones (2011-19), I cannot deny that this universe can tell us some pretty amazing stories. The first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-) showed a real lot of promise with the potential for more. Would this episode, titled "Hard Salt Beef," written by Aziza Bar

Welcome back to the blog readers. One genre of film that has never really sat right with me would have to be the screenlife genre. To be honest with you all, I really do not get why the genre exists in the first place. It feels like a lazy way to save money on a budget, but they all feel the same, especially that terrible War of the Worlds (2025) film from last year. Hearing this film would be coming left me intrigued and nervous at the same time since I love the stars of the

Welcome back to the blog readers. This is not something I have had the opportunity to really talk about on this blog, but I have been a fan of Stranger Things (2016-25). It has been a very fun throwback to the best of the 1980s while pretty much becoming a cultural phenomenon. The world has fallen in love with these characters and it has created some major stars in the business: Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, David Harbour, and Joseph Quinn, just to name a few. I was very

Welcome back to the blog readers. We have finally arrived at my favorite time of the year (aside from when Avengers: Doomsday (2026) wins Best Picture next year): when Oscar nominations are revealed. It makes me very happy when we get to this time of year, because the chaos and insanity really begins. As I do every year, I want to talk about and react to some of the Academy Award nominations, and give my two-sense as to who I think will take home some of the major categories.

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you may know by now, I was very excited for 28 Years Later (2025) from the trailers, but found myself somewhat disappointed with the film. However, one of the main positives was without a doubt the breakout performance of Alfie Williams, who gave one of my favorite performances of the year. He is the main reason I was even planning on seeing this film in the first place, and I was hopeful that this would be a better film than the first. Wo

Welcome back to the blog readers. If you know me in real life, you would know that I am a fan of Game of Thrones (2011-19), but not as big a fan as a lot of people are. But House of the Dragon (2022-) is absolutely one of the best shows on television right now. Getting a first-hand look at the Targaryen civil war has been fascinating. Now, we have a new kind of Game of Thrones show, in the sense that we are getting smaller with the focus being on one pair of characters. Would

Welcome back to the blog readers. Now that 2025 is officially in the books and we have looked back on the best and worst that Hollywood gave us over that 365-day period, one of my favorite times is finally upon us. And that time is when I look at what is to come in the next calendar year to give us something to look forward to. There are fourteen films I want to talk about specifically, and all twelve are my most anticipated of this coming year. What are they and how much am

Welcome back to the blog readers. Holy hell, time is flying. It feels just like yesterday that I was talking about Conclave (2024) being my pick for Best Picture and was putting the final touches on my best and worst lists of 2024. Now, we have reached the end of 2025, and I think it was yet another incredible year for films. Now that we have reached the end, I want to take this time and rank my top 25 films of the year. Which would be my favorite? Will your favorite film app

Welcome back to the blog readers. Another year is officially in the books, and another set of films have graced our senses and tickled our imaginations. We experienced yet another great year for film, but not everything is meant to be sunshine and roses, as evidenced in the chaos that is unfolding around us. There were some unequivocal stinkers that came out this year, and we unfortunately do have to talk about them. So with that being said, what would top the list of the wor
