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

Welcome back to the blog readers. Ladies and gentleman, we have finally made it to the end. The series that has become a cultural phenomenon over the last near decade has finally come to an end, and that show is of course Stranger Things (2016-25). We have come to know and love these characters, and we have basically watched our core kids grow up before our very eyes. This is also a momentous occasion for my blog since this is the first time I have ever reviewed an episode of

Welcome back to the blog readers. 2025 was undoubtedly the best year in horror that I have ever seen. We got great films like Sinners, Together, Weapons, and The Monkey (all 2025), and I am looking forward to seeing what 2026 will offer in that department. We are starting off the year with two high-profile horror projects that will each deliver their own thing, but how would my first film of the year fare? Stick around to find out. Primate was directed by Johannes Roberts fro

Welcome back to the blog readers. We are approaching the end of the road when it comes to Stranger Things (2016-25). There are two episodes left in the show that has taken over the industry over the last near-decade, and this fifth season has been filled with great character work, great spectacle, and so many more questions to be answered in the final 3 hours and 14 minutes of this show. How would we get ourselves ready for the end of the line with this penultimate episode, t

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you guys have gotten to see for the last year and a half, I have fallen head over heels in love with the series The Boys (2019-26). Ever since I got to see Billy Butcher, Hughie Campbell, Annie January, Homelander, etc., I have been so intrigued about the world that Eric Kripke and friends have delivered for us. I know I was very late to the game, and I definitely regret it because I will not be caught up by the time everybody else watches

Welcome back to the blog readers. I have been absolutely loving Gen V (2023-) thus far. It has greatly expanded the universe of The Boys (2019-26) in a way that was totally unexpected. A show about college students that is focused on the characters while only showing brief ties to its parent show? Sign me up. I am so saddened that we have reached the finale for two reasons: because I have to wait an unspecified amount of time to watch the show again, and because I will never

Welcome back to the blog readers. I'm not sure about you guys, but I am very much enjoying this final season of Stranger Things (2016-25). The performances have been stellar in my estimation and I really have been enjoying the story we have been getting. I am very much looking forward to seeing how this all ends. Now that we are revving up towards the end of the end, how would I feel about this sixth episode, titled "Chapter Six: Escape from Camazotz," written by Kate Trefry,

Welcome back to the blog readers. I think it is safe to say that Netflix films are pretty hit and miss. I do my best to try to avoid most of them because I do not have the power to sit through a lot of crappy films. Since this film is from one of my favorite director duos, I had faith that this would be one of the rare exceptions where I liked an original Netflix film. Would my hope be proven to be true, however? Stick around to find out. The Electric State was directed by Jo

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you all know, science fiction is one of the genres that I love the most because it allows for us to explore some familiar tropes and questions with new ideas and ways to think about the mortal world we live in. One of the staples of the science fiction genre over the last century plus would have to be War of the Worlds, a novel that has been adapted into every possible medium: television series, television film, radio show, and theatrical

Welcome back to the blog readers. One of the big surprises for me would absolutely have to be Gen V (2023-), a show that lives in the universe of The Boys (2019-26) and is not afraid to prove it. This is a far more character-focused show than The Boys is, and I believe that is why I have fallen in love with this show as hard as I have. Now that we are approaching the end of the first season, what is in store for us with this penultimate episode, titled "Sick," written by Chel

Welcome back to the blog readers. Now that I am approaching the three-year anniversary of this blog, there should at this point be a small group of people who do not know at this point that I love Timothée Chalamet. While I may or may not be joking about him being the love of my life (we will never know), I really do believe he will be the next Daniel Day-Lewis. With this oddball film being his next film, would it move him closer or further from my proclamation? Stick around

Welcome back to the blog readers. While all of you idiots had to wait a whole month to find out what happens next in the final season of Stranger Things (2016-25), I only had to wait a week because of this blog and my inability to binge. The first four episodes left us on a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) cliffhanger with so many more questions to be answered. With only four episodes left, would we get all of those answers? Time will tell, but at least we could bide our time and

Welcome back to the blog readers. One of the franchises that really grabbed my attention when it comes to spectacle, wonder, and awe has been the Avatar (2009-) franchise. I was very late to the franchise, having watched Avatar (2009) three months before the release of The Way of Water (2022) (both films I really enjoyed by the way). Now that we are three films and a video game into this franchise, would it justify continuing or would the returns be dead on arrival? Stick aro

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you could probably tell by now, I am not the biggest fan of book-to-screen adaptations because they normally can never capture the same magic that the book does. Now I am no reader, but I can tell based on the reactions that I see from people that have read the source material. And of course I make my own judgment, but what would that judgment entail for this book-to-screen adaptation? Stick around to find out. The Housemaid was directed b

Welcome back to the blog readers. Stranger Things (2016-25) has been a show that has been in the cultural zeitgeist for just about a decade, and its place in the pantheon will never be denied. The fifth season has been the most raw and honest one yet so far, while also being dark and brutal. Now that we have approached the end of the "first volume" of the final season, how would this thing end, and what would this episode, titled "Chapter Four: Sorcerer," written by Paul Dich

Welcome back to the blog readers. One of the biggest surprises I have had as a fan of film and television is how good Gen V (2023-) has been. I have fallen in love with our characters (including Marie, Andre, Emma, Sam, and others), I have fallen in love with the story, and I am absolutely in awe over the visuals we have gotten. We have three episodes left (including this one), and I cannot wait to see where this story goes. Would this episode, titled "Jumanji," written by La
