Elio
Elio, an underdog with an active imagination, finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.
This was a textbook Pixar movie. Great for kids and adults. Great messaging for children. Cute characters and a great flow of the story telling. One of the rare movies nowadays that wasn't too long and didn't drag. The only knock I can honestly make against this is that it won't stay with you like most of Pixar's classics. It's really good but could end up being considered forgettable compared to the rest of their library.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. it's a nice and fun/simple watch for families, adults and kids alike.
28 Years Later
It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.
This was literally a movie of two halves. The first half of the move was actually really good. I liked the set up of the island and the mainland kind of thing with the limited option of how to get there, etc. I was really digging it. And then about half way through the movie turned into something completely different and dragged like hell and quite honestly sucked. Then at the very end - like literally the last two minutes they did the most random connection to the start of the movie and I guess it was nothing but a set up for sequel? It was all very disjointed and pretty disappointing - especially after how much I enjoyed the first half of the movie.
I would unfortunately not recommend anyone bothering with this. It started so good but then just went waaaaaay off the rails.
How To Train Your Dragon

However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.
Materialists
A young New York City matchmaker's lucrative business gets complicated as she finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex.
So there are few things that annoy me more than advertising a movie as something and then it not being that. This was hyped as a romantic comedy. There was literally not one laugh in this whole movie. And quite honestly there wasn't much romance in it either. I give the movie credit for being a good character drama about how matchmaking has made dating life brutal with very realistic characters and situations. BUT . . . . that was not what was advertised.
I would somewhat recommend this movie for anyone who wants to feel more hopeless about dating in today's world than they might already. But if you are looking for a comedy this is absolutely not one.
Dangerous Animals
A shark-obsessed serial killer holds Zephyr, a rebellious surfer, captive on his boat. Racing against time, she must figure out a way to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below.
How in the holy hell was this a wide theatrical release? Better question - how in the holy hell was this a wide theatrical release IN THE SUMMER? This was basically a made for tv movie. It was a somewhat decent and out there premise that absolutely did not make an entire movie. This movie was only 90 minutes long and that was honestly still an hour too long.
I would definitely not recommend anyone bothering with this. It's not even a movie that is so cheesy that it's a good silly watch. There is basically one shark attack scene and then 85 minutes of blah blah blah.
Ballerina
Ballerina is an upcoming American action thriller film that is the fifth film in the John Wick franchise, serving as a spin-off set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4.
Bring Her Back
A brother and sister witness a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
Ethan Hunt and the IMF team race against time to find the Entity, a rogue artificial intelligence that can destroy mankind.
I have been a big fan of all the Mission Impossible movies. My only knock against some of them and definitely applies to this one is that they really don't need to be THAT long. Like once you go past two hours you are running too long and can tighten them up. Getting closer to three hours like the last two entries is definitely pushing it. That being said - I still loved the movie. It still had those crazy tense scenes where you don't even realize how tense you are until they are over. It still had great action. It still had great back and forth with the team members. There were still plenty of laughs. And since it seems like they are making this the last one I thought that they did a great job with flashbacks throughout the movie connecting all the nostalgia and what not.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It definitely is too long but it was also a very fun and enjoyable ride and honestly what I have always felt going to the movie theater was all about.
Lilo And Stitch
A tale of a young girl's close encounter with the galaxy's most wanted extraterrestrial. Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small ugly "dog," whom she names Stitch. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren't in reality a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth. Through her love, faith and unwavering belief in ohana, the Hawaiian concept of family, Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart and gives him the ability to care for someone else.
I could be a little biased because of emotional connections this movie generates related to my daughter and my cat and by the fact that Stitch is pretty much my favorite Disney character but I honestly thought that this was the best live action remake that they have made to date. This movie perfectly captured the laughs and more importantly the massive heart from the original. All of the connections came through, all of the characters were carried over and done great and the kid actor that played Lilo was awesome.
I would absolutely recommend everyone checking this out. This movie is a lock for my Top 10 of 2025 and was such a really good time at the movies.

Clown In A Cornfield
Thunderbolts
Ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes -- Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker -- embarks on a dangerous mission that forces them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.
I enjoyed this movie a lot. Bucky Barnes has been one of my favorite Marvel characters. Yelena skyrocketed towards the top of the list of characters for me as soon as she was introduced and Red Guardian - while enjoyable in Black Widow - legit stole every scene that he was in during this movie. This is the first movie to really feel like one of the older Marvel movies in a while. Great pacing, great action and a ton of great laughs. The chemistry between the characters was great and the movie surprisingly had a very great story that I thought hit very well with the world today. And most importantly for me - this felt the most continuity connected Marvel movie to come out since Endgame.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. I will be rewatching this movie a couple of times and I have not been able to say that about a Marvel movie in years.
Until Dawn
One year after her sister disappeared, Clover and her friends head to the remote valley where she vanished to search for answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they soon encounter a masked killer who murders them one by one. However, when they mysteriously wake up at the beginning of the same night, they're forced to relive the terror over and over again.
This movie had a decent concept of including so many different types of horror movies into one. But it honestly wasn't much more than just a concept. It ultimately ends up just being a movie that is there and is instantly forgettable 5 minutes after it's over.
I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this. It was a good idea and nothing more.
Warfare
A surveillance mission goes wrong for a platoon of American Navy SEALs in insurgent territory in Iraq.
The Accountant 2
Forensic accountant Christian Wolff teams up with his estranged but highly lethal brother to track down mysterious assassins.
Who in the blue hell was asking for this sequel? I quite honestly remember nothing from the first movie. Like at all. This movie was pretty much the same I believe. Like okay action while watching but it is all forgotten 5 minutes after you are done. Like it's really just kind of there. Very confused about where the demand for this came from.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this. Unless you were one of the people that was hoping for this sequel to a very forgettable action movie.
Sinners
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
Drop
Violet is a widowed mother who goes to an upscale restaurant to meet Henry, her charming and handsome date. However, her pleasant evening soon turns into a living nightmare when she receives phone messages from a mysterious, hooded figure who threatens to kill her young son and sister unless she kills Henry.
This was about as unsuspenseful as a suspense movie could get. Between there being ZERO reason to care about the characters at all and the fact that the ENTIRE movie was in the trailer there was no reason to watch this movie. Like none. I actually got distracted from watching it for 10-15 minutes and when I got back to it it was legit like I had missed absolutely nothing.
This movie was a big ass turd and a total waste of 90 minutes. I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this.
The Amateur
Charlie Heller is a brilliant CIA decoder whose world comes crashing down when his wife dies in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, his intelligence becomes the ultimate weapon as he embarks on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible.
This movie was very formula in every way. Quite honestly you saw the movie by watching the trailer. Like there is very little that they held back on giving away. And the movie was definitely 20 minutes too long. All that being said - it definitely was still a better than average and enjoyable watch of a revenge type of movie.
I would recommend people checking this out but just a heads up that there are definitely pacing issues that make the movie drag at times when it shouldn't.
The Woman In The Yard
Ramona becomes crippled by grief after her husband dies in a car accident, leaving her to care for her two children alone in her rural farmhouse. Her sadness soon turns to fear when a spectral woman in black appears on her front lawn, warning her "today's the day." As the mysterious figure creeps closer and closer to the house, Ramona realizes she must protect her children from the evil woman who simply won't leave them alone.
This movie was really nothing more than a psychological premise. Thankfully it was super short because even though the premise was decent (and very true) it was beyond flawed in its presentation. I don't want to say too much because it spoils it for anyone that might see it. But it really didn't work because of the kids seeing the woman and this movie could not have been less scary if it tried.
I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this. It is nothing more than a premise and the execution is awful.
A Minecraft Movie
A mysterious portal pulls four misfits into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master the terrain while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected crafter named Steve.
Death Of A Unicorn

A Working Man
Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life of working construction. However, when human traffickers kidnap his boss's daughter, his search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined.
Literally just Jason Stratham 17. Like the same movie it has been every time. Only new thing was a scene where he fought someone using construction site materials. That is pretty much it.
If you like Jason Stratham movies then this is enjoyable. If you don't then stay far, far away.
Black Bag
When his beloved wife, Kathryn, is suspected of betraying the nation, intelligence agent George Woodhouse faces the ultimate test -- loyalty to his marriage or his country.
For a movie that was dependent on espionage and suspense, this movie pretty much had neither. The acting was great across the board but there was like ZERO hook whatsoever. This basically just made the movie a 90 minute snooze fest because you just don't really care.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this. Its a just kind of there movie that is not remotely interesting enough.
Snow White

When Scott and Teresa learn that their son, Austin, is autistic and has brittle bone disease, they initially worry about his future. However, with Scott's growing faith and Austin's incredible spirit, they become unbreakable as they find joy, gratitude and courage in the most trying times.
Was this a massive heartstring pulling movie? Yes. Was it predictable in every way? Also yes. Even with that being said, was it still incredibly enjoyable if you allow yourself to get roped in? Absolutely. I don't mind movies like this when the hook is big enough. I am not really spiritual in any way but when movies like this are done well enough it really is one of the few times that that stuff breaks through even if just for a few moments.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It honestly felt very real and genuine. It was a very enjoyable all around watch.
The Monkey
When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree, forcing the estranged siblings to confront the cursed toy.
This movie was a pretty good watch. Had some really good jump scares, some WTF moments/kills and the monkey was definitely creepy as hell. It just definitely ran way too long. Like this was based off a short story and had no business being longer than like an hour for what pretty much equalled Final Destination with a monkey deciding who dies.
I would somewhat recommend horror movies fans checking this out. It's not a must see at all but a decent watch if you have the time.
Captain America: Brave New World
Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. He must soon discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

As Dog Man learns to embrace his new identity, he must stop feline supervillain Petey the Cat from cloning himself and going on a crime spree.
This is one of those movies that was good for what it was supposed to be. A short, fun, animated movie for families and younger kids. It's from the same author as Captain Underpants and I remember reading those books with my daughter when she was younger. Some good laughs and a quick watch.
I would recommend families checking this out. It s a decent enough watch for the parents and the kids will definitely like it.
Love Hurts

Flight Risk

Sweet baby Jesus this movie was so horrible. Like I sat there for 90 minutes just groaning at how bad it was and repeatedly saying this is such crap. The story was crap. The acting was some of the worst ever. And the fact that Mel Gibson has fallen so far that his directorial list will include Braveheart, Passion Of The Christ and THIS is so insane. To make matters worse I actually saw this movie in a 4D theater so I was thrown around in the seat due to the special effect while watching it. Sore back, possible pulled hamstring and a massive 90 minute turd.
I would absolutely not recommend anyone bothering with this. Like ever. It really is that bad. Like a lock for worst movies of the year in the first month.
Paddington In Peru
When Paddington discovers his beloved aunt has gone missing from the Home for Retired Bears, he and the Brown family head to the jungles of Peru to find her. Determined to solve the mystery, they soon stumble across a legendary treasure as they make their way through the rainforests of the Amazon.
This is a good movie for what it is. If you are a family - especially with younger children you should absolutely go see this. It checks all the boxes for what it is you are looking for. The parents can be entertained and not worry about their kids seeing anything inappropriate and the kids can enjoy the cutesy story playing out. Outside of that - not really sure why anyone would be bothering with this.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a younger side family. Definitely a fun watch for them. Outside of that you can go on not knowing that this movie is even a thing.
September 5
During the 1972 Munich Olympics, an American sports broadcasting crew finds itself thrust into covering the hostage crisis involving Israeli athletes.
This was a really good movie that kind of took you into this historic moment in time and kept you hanging on to everything that was going on and all the characters involved. It was also a very short watch and I appreciated no extra pointless run time very much.
I would recommend people checking this out. It's one of those biographical movies that you can just feel is very well done all around.
