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. As you may know from the last year, I am absolutely loving everything I am seeing out of The Boys (2019-26). Hearing we were getting a spinoff of The Boys got me very excited to see different stories in this world. Learning it was a coming-of-age series about a bunch of "college Supes" definitely intrigued me since I am not even 10 years removed from college yet. Would it start off hot with this premiere, titled "God U.," written by Craig Ros

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

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know by now, and it is pretty well-documented over the last few years, I have had a contentious relationship with horror films. 2025 has been the best year for horror I have ever seen (coming from someone who does not see a whole lot of them), and I am hopeful we can end on a high note after a few misses. I really enjoyed The Black Phone (2022), the first film in this "new" franchise, and got both excited and nervous at the prospect of

Welcome back to the blog readers. Turns out, I am beginning to appreciate comedies more. We have already had two pretty solid ones come out this year in The Naked Gun and The Roses (both 2025), and if you consider Roofman (2025) one as well, we are getting some pretty good ones. This is a film I have had my eye on for a good while now, and I have been hopeful it will deliver as I thought it would. Question is, would the 18-month wait be worth it in the end? Stick around to fi

Welcome back to the blog readers. Crime films are just a taste as to how a certain sect of the population lives, whether their reason for crime is personal or family-related. Plus, when these films are done right, they can be a lot of fun or painful as shit to watch. This film, however, has attracted my attention in recent months, because of how absolutely absurd the real story is. Now that I finally got to see this film (a sinus infection has kind of wiped me out the last fe

Welcome back to the blog readers. One genre of film that I can be very critical of is heist films, because they have to capture you from the very beginning. One film, though a lot more fast-paced and brutal, that failed to do this is Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (2025). Hearing of this film's existence gave me hope, especially since the film competed for the prestigious Palme d'Or at Cannes back in May. Would I agree that this film was worthy of the prestige and accolades it was

Welcome back to the blog readers. I do not think I spoke on it much, but in a year when we had the premieres of Andor (2022-25), House of the Dragon (2022-), and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022-), one of the shows that premiered and won my heart from the start was Peacemaker (2022-). Its witty charm and dry humor is some of the funniest stuff I have seen on television in a while. It put Danielle Brooks on the map for me as someone I should watch out for, and s

Welcome back to the blog readers. It suffices to say the Alien (1979-) franchise has been stagnant since Aliens (1986), but it can be argued that Alien: Romulus (2024) kind of revived the franchise in a way. From the beginning, I was a little unsure of how this show would fare since we really don't get too many horror shows created by people not named Ryan Murphy or Mike Flanagan. Plus, with a franchise as loved and hated as the Alien series, and creator Noah Hawley behind th

Welcome back to the blog readers. To say that Alien: Earth is one of the best shows of the year would totally be an understatement. This series has made a nearly 50-year old franchise relevant again with some new twists and turns to put a fresh coat of paint on some tired wheels. And the results have been shockingly fascinating so far to say the least. I am so upset that we are at the end point (since I was under the assumption that this series was 10 episodes), because I hav

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know by now, action films are one of my favorite kinds of films. Over these almost three full years that I have been doing this blog, these are the films I am most critical of because I love the genre so damn much. This film has been in the back of my mind for a while now, especially with the early awards buzz it seems to be getting coming out of the festivals. Would the universal love this film is getting be enough to win this cynical
