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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Murder mystery is a genre I never really thought could be good because it almost always never works out in the end. Just look at Murder on the Orient Express (2017). But Knives Out (2019) and Glass Onion (2022) are perfect examples of murder mysteries that just work. A likable lead, a likable ensemble, and a mystery with so many twists and turns that leave you winded and wowed. Now that we are on the third installment of this franchise, how c

Welcome back to the blog readers. If there is one person whose films I have been desperate to get into, it would absolutely be Quentin Tarantino. One of the most creative and brash filmmakers we have working today, Tarantino definitely has a style about him. Despite some crude things that were just said about Paul Dano, I decided to make the trek out to see this film that combines both Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) and Vol. 2 (2004). Would this film live up to the immense hype it h

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you should know by now, I am not entirely the biggest fan of musicals on the face of the planet, so much so that I have never seen a Broadway show. So, when Wicked (2024) defied gravity and became a box-office smash, I fell in love with that film real fast. I even said that Ariana Grande should have won Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars this past March. Knowing that the conclusion of the popular (see what I did there?) show was imminen

Welcome back to the blog readers. If there is one person in the industry that I have come to absolutely love, it would have to be Brendan Fraser. This guy has completely reinvented himself since being wrongly blacklisted from the industry, and it turns out that he had the last laugh when he came back and promptly won a deserved Academy Award. Now, I was curious to see what Fraser would do next, and hearing it would be a project like this had me doubly intrigued. Would the int

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you may know by now, probably the most influential person to the world of film over the last 5 decades has been author Stephen King, whose work has given way to some of the best films over this period. King fans are eating good this year with four solid adaptations of his work: The Life of Chuck, The Long Walk (both 2025), and It: Welcome to Derry (2025-). Knowing this film was coming gave me excitement, because I know how good the book ha

Welcome back to the blog readers. This is a very special post to me, because Back to the Future (1985) is one of the films that truly defined my childhood and my teen years. I have loved the film from the minute I first saw it on my television, and I have long desired to see it on the big screen. Now, that time has come and I feel as the film turns 40 years old (holy shit, by the way) that this was a better time than ever to talk about my thoughts on the iconic film that has

Welcome back to the blog readers. You may know by now that biographical films are some of the most intriguing ones to watch for their fictionalized depiction of past events. You would know this since one of them is one of my favorite films of all time in Oppenheimer (2023). Knowing one was going to focus on the Nuremberg trials instantly hooked me, since it was terrible and evil people getting their just desserts. Would this film about events that set international precedent

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you should know by now, I love me my science-fiction films, especially if they introduce us to new worlds, new concepts, and new stories that we can sink our teeth into. This is a big reason why I love the game The Outer Worlds (2019) and am loving its 2025 sequel. Not having seen a Predator film before got me intrigued at the franchise's new direction for sure, but would I come out of it for the better or the worst? Stick around to find o

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know, we have been graced in the last decade with some pretty fire musical biopics (or films that are like musical biopics). Some of the ones that come to mind include Bohemian Rhapsody (2018), Rocketman (2019), and Elvis (2022) (one of my favorite films of 2022). Hearing that the Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen, would be getting the biopic treatment, I got excited because he is one of the most legendary men in the business. Would I en

Welcome back to the blog readers. By now, I have begun going into the "Mystery Movie Mondays" expecting each film to be pretty poor, since I have not loved a single one I saw. I only partially liked Spirited (2022), but I did not like Dead of Winter or The Mastermind (both 2025). So, I decided to give it a gamble this week, and I have come out of it on the other side. Would I finally like a "Mystery Movie Monday," or would it just be the same old shit? Stick around to find ou

Welcome back to the blog readers. One of the film genres that I have grown to sort of dislike in the past is book-to-film adaptations, especially films that come from romance novels. Most of the time, the appeal of the novel is lost in translation and we never really get to see an imagining of the original author's work. I felt like that was not the case with It Ends With Us (2024), and I was hopeful it would not be the case with this film? Would I be proven right, or would t

Welcome back to the blog readers. I may have been alive when Tron: Legacy (2010) came out, but that was a film that was well before my time as a film lover (or a cinephile). I never really even had any interest in watching that film or the first film in this franchise: Tron (1982). You know I love me a good science fiction film, so I kind of got excited to see this upon the release of the trailers earlier in the year. So, would my hype in this film be rewarded with a good tim

Welcome back to the blog readers. Musicals are normally considered an escape from the outside world and the struggles we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, but not all of them have resonated with me in the same way. Some are good, some are superficial, and others are The Greatest Showman (2017), which a lot of people have been sleeping on recently. Hearing that this film was coming got me intrigued, especially because the last musical I saw was not good (and that was Em
