Young Washington

Young Washington tracks an ambitious, 22-year-old George Washington (William Franklyn-Miller) in the mid-1750s. Denied a royal commission in the British Army due to his colonial background, he secures a role in the Virginia Militia through his half-brother Lawrence.  Tasked with surveying the Ohio territory, Washington confronts encroaching French forces. His early military miscalculations lead to harsh frontier defeats—including the Battle of Fort Necessity—which spark a wider global conflict. Guided by the counsel of his mother, Mary Ball Washington (Mary-Louise Parker), and mentors like Lord Fairfax (Kelsey Grammer), the young officer must learn from his heavy losses, overcome immense odds, and find the resilience required to forge a new American identity.

This was a decent idea and effort for a historical biopic.  That's just not really my thing so my interest in this while watching was always kind of eh.   I thought it was going to be more mailed in than it was so that was a bonus that they were definitely taking themselves seriously with zero known actors and what not.   

I would recommend this to history buffs so they could either enjoy it or point out and analyze what was accurate and what wasn't but I really wouldn't recommend it outside of that.  It's not a must see by any means even though it was a decent overall watch.

The Odyssey

The Odyssey follows veteran warrior Odysseus on his grueling journey home from the Trojan War.  Facing mythical monsters and divine wrath, he struggles to return to his kingdom, where his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland) fight to save their home from ruthless suitors.

This movie was amazing on every level.   The acting from an incredible and massive cast.   The telling of two stories and bringing them together.   The set pieces and chapters of action.   And most of all the filmmaking of Christopher Nolan using no CGI in a movie that could have called for it throughout and made it much easier.   It really made the movie that much more genuine.   Did it need to be 3 hours long?   Of course not.   It could have been 15-20 minutes shorter but honestly I didn't care because it was a truly excellent movie.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It is filmmaking at its finest and really establishes Nolan as the second coming of Spielberg in my lifetime.

Moana

In Disney's live-action reimagining of the beloved animated adventure, Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean's call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the barrier reef of her island of Motunui. Accompanied by the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), she undertakes an unforgettable, action-packed voyage to recover the heart of Te Fiti, restore the prosperity of her community, and fulfill her ancestors' quest to become a master wayfinder.

This is by far Disney's biggest money grab of a live action remake.   First off - the original only came out 10 years ago and just had an animated sequel last year.   It is waaaaaaaaaay too soon to do the live action version of this and I can't help but think it was The Rock's ego needing to play the live action Maui that got this fast tracked like it was.   And then for the movie to be a carbon copy of the animated version that feels like it just came out makes it even more pointless.   But worst of all is that going from an animated movie to live action but still using so much CGI instead of all the location stuff feeling genuine at least makes it such a rip off.

I honestly wouldn't bother recommending this to people.  Just rewatch the original animated version that is much better in every way.

The Invite

Joe and Angela's marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for an evening dinner party to address the loud noises coming from their apartment, the night quickly spirals into unexpected places. What begins as a polite gesture turns into a hilarious puree of confessions, flirtations, and relationship revelations that forces both couples to confront uncomfortable truths about love, fidelity, and intimacy.

A very random and simple movies about two couples having dinner.   The chemistry between all of them felt very genuine and there were a ton of laughs coming out of the judging commentary like script.  The movie eventually got serious which knocked it down a bit because of how funny it was for a while but it still kept the genuine feeling of the couples and their relationships going.

I would recommend people checking this out.   It's a fun little watch that all seems very real.

Evil Dead Burn

After the tragic loss of her abusive husband, Alice seeks refuge and closure by joining her American in-laws for a post-funeral gathering at a dilapidated family home. Hidden away in the house is a collection of macabre occult books and artifacts left behind by the family patriarch.  When a dark, residual evil is inadvertently unleashed, the relatives transform into bloodthirsty Deadites one by one. Turning a routine family reunion into a nightmare from hell, Alice must fight the forces of darkness and gain the courage to survive until dawn.

This is quite honestly just more of the same.   Gruesome over the top violence.   The jump scares are pretty much gone at this point of the franchise and it's just the gore.   And this movie supplied plenty of it.   Even towards animals which I hate seeing.   So that was one of several times that I looked away because of how nasty it honestly got at times.   

If you are a fan of the franchise there is no reason for you not to watch this.  If you are not then there is also absolutely no reason to start now.

Minions & Monsters

The creators of Despicable Me expand their universe with this tale of the Minions, who, while attempting to make a 1920s Hollywood movie, accidentally summon real monsters using a stolen spell book. The yellow crew must now stop the resulting chaos and save the world.

I'm not really looking for something fresh or new with the Minions movies.  You either love the or you don't.   I happen to massively love and enjoy them so I figured I would like this movie regardless.  What I wasn't expecting was a very interesting storyline about making movies that made this movie better than the other Minion prequel movies.   That was an incredibly pleasant surprise.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.   It's easily the best of the Minions prequels and might be only second in the whole Despicable Me universe after the original Despicable Me.   I was shocked and how the making a movie in the 1920s bit provided such an extra spark for the movie.

Jackass: Best And Last

Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, and the rest of the gang are back on the big screen for one last ride. Embracing their middle-age maturation alongside the younger crew additions, they push their bodies and dignity to the absolute limit one final time. 

Do you really need me to review this?   It's more of the same.  You either are able to laugh at the stupidity or you would never watch something as dumb as this.   This movie is not going to change anything from decades of it that have past.   I personally had the dick and shit stuff but am able to laugh at the rest of the pranks.   And this one managed to pack in some strange sentimentality that actually worked somehow.

I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the franchise.  If not - again - why would you start trying now?

Supergirl

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

This is a bit of weird movie to review.   I liked the movie overall.  It was definitely entertaining throughout.   I think Millie Alcock is great as Supergirl.   I loved Jason Momoa as Lobo.   The action was good and the pacing was perfect and not dragged out.   But like there was a part of my brain that just kept saying how this movie had pretty much no point except to kind of show you Supergirl working through some stuff.   Like it was a random three day period of her coming to terms with stuff.   

I would still recommend people checking it out.  It was a very fun watch and I liked it but I guess it was just a very weird intro vehicle for this new/main character even though it was entertaining.

The Death Of Robin Hood

Grappling with his bloody past, an aged and weary Robin Hood is gravely injured after a brutal life of crime. Taking refuge in a secluded priory, the legendary bandit is nursed back to health by a mysterious prioress, forcing him to confront his legacy and seek hard-won redemption.

Well this was dull.   Who was asking for a Robin Hood movie that dragged and was like watching paint dry?  This was literally an old man reflecting on his life (where Robin Hood was more of a villain than a good guy) for waaaaaaaaay too long.  

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this.  It honestly was a snoozefest.

Toy Story 5

The toys face a modern-world crisis when they are suddenly overshadowed by electronics and screens. Bonnie, now 8 years old, becomes completely fixated on a frog-like smart tablet called Lilypad (Lily). As Lily begins to dictate how Bonnie spends her time, the traditional toys panic, fearing they will be permanently banished to the garage.

This was vintage Pixar.  Nothing else really to say.   I liked that they made Jessie more of a lead.   I liked that they still had plenty of Buzz and Woody stuff.   I liked that they still gave the side toys good jokes and moments.  And I really liked that absolutely spot on story line of toys vs tech.   

I very much recommend everyone checking this out.  It is an excellent watch for adults, children and an awesome family outing with tons of parental teaching moments that could help with the tech obsession.

The Furious

When his young daughter is abducted by a brutal international human trafficking ring, a humble but fiercely skilled tradesman goes on a one-man rampage to get her back. Receiving no help from the corrupt local police, he teams up with a relentless journalist on a parallel quest to find his missing wife. Together, the unlikely duo battles their way through an entire underground criminal empire in a desperate race against time to save their loved ones.

This movie was great for what it was.   A revenge martial arts movie.  The action was insane.  The different bad guy characters were developed in a way that you couldn't wait to see them get taken down by the hero.  This was like a throwback Steven Segal movie.   

I would definitely recommend people who like revenge action movies like this.   It's a very enjoyable watch for those kind of movies and the story of child trafficking is obviously something that hooks your interest in the revenge desired way.

Disclosure Day

Disclosure Day follows a cybersecurity defector and a clairvoyant meteorologist on the run from a shadow government corporation.  Racing to reveal undeniable proof of extraterrestrial life to the globe, they champion radical empathy over the fear-based secrecy pushed by ruthless corporate and federal powers.

I was trying to temper my excitement for this movie but it kept creeping in.  Even with the high expectations I was still able to love this movie.   This was vintage Spielberg.   The characters were great and hooked you, the action scenes were amazing and perfectly placed pacing wise.   The best part was that this movie just hit the ground running.   There was something about that where it made it even more of a hook instead of the usual slow and plodding set up.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  I very much enjoyed this movie.   Its a throwback glad you went to the theaters to see it kind of movie.

Power Ballad

The film follows wedding singer Rick who bonds with boy-band member Danny; when Danny uses Rick's song to reignite his own solo career, Rick sets out for the recognition he believes he deserves.

This is one of those movies that ends up kind of disappointing because of the trailer misadvertising.  Like this was hyped as a feel good movie and I was pretty excited to see it.  There was nothing feel good about this until literally like the last ten minutes.  Up until then it was honestly kind of a downer.   They could have done this is a much lighter way and I feel missed the boat on what was promoted in the trailer.

I would still somewhat recommend the movie.  It's not a bad movie.  It's just not fully what was advertised and that was very disappointing.

Masters Of The Universe

Fifteen years after the fall of Eternos, a now-adult Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) lives an unfulfilling life on Earth, working a human resources job while obsessively searching for the Sword of Power. When he finally reclaims his ancestor's sword, he is whisked back across the universe to Eternia by his childhood friend, Teela. Upon returning, he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and the kingdom, Adam must reunite with his allies—including Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba) and the Sorceress (Morena Baccarin)—unlock the secrets of his past, and embrace his destiny as He-Man: the most powerful man in the universe.

This movie could have been good . . . . . . if it wasn't 2 hours and 15 minutes long.   How you make this movie that long when you are being campy, silly and not taking yourself too seriously makes zero sense.   If this was a 90 to 1 hour 45 minute movie it would have been fine for what it was.   A movie about a classic toy line that had a throwback nostalgia feel to the 80s or early 90s.   The action was cool and the look of all the over the top characters was good again in terms of throwback 80s type movies.  But it was sooooooooooooo long and you massively felt it.

I would not really recommend people checking this movie out.   I don't see the franchise picking up and going anywhere . . . .  . unless it ends up going straight to streaming on Amazon Prime.

Scary Movie

Twenty-six years after their original, traumatizing experience, the "Core Four"—Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall—return to the Scary Movie franchise to confront a new, familiar masked killer. 

Taking a swing with this nostalgia act was worth a shot with so many swings at it being taken.  But it was a massive miss.   I think I laughed maybe once or twice through the whole movie.   The spoof scenes felt very forced and the social commentary was even more forced.  It was quite honestly trash.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  It's a huge swing and.a miss like I said and not worth the time even though its super short.

I Love Boosters

Corvette (Keke Palmer), Sade (Naomi Ackie), and Mariah (Taylour Paige) are the "Velvet Gang," three inner-city friends who survive by "boosting"—the art of meticulous, professional shoplifting. They target cutthroat, high-end stores and resell the expensive clothing at deeply discounted prices to their struggling, working-class community in an effort they dub "fashion-forward philanthropy."  Their robin-hood operation spirals into an all-out rebellion when Christie Smith (Demi Moore), a powerful and morally bankrupt fashion maven, publicly demeans the boosters while plagiarizing Corvette's own amateur designs. Seeking revenge, Corvette leads her crew on a massive mission to clean out the designer's entire inventory. Along the way, their operation inadvertently inspires factory and retail workers to build class consciousness, igniting a surreal, globe-spanning movement that attempts to overthrow the mega-rich.

This was a very weird ass over the top movie with weird visuals and stuff to cover imaginations running wild.   Like it was funny at times with the weirdness and the very insane score throughout.   But like it's a dumb as hell movie.   LOL!   

I would not recommend anyone really bothering with this . . . . .  unless you are tripping on acid.  You might really like it then.  

Pressure

In early June 1944, the largest seaborne assault in history is fully assembled on the southern coast of England. With the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, General Dwight D. Eisenhower is operating under a painfully narrow window of opportunity. The invasion requires perfect alignment of a specific low tide, lunar cycle, and clear weather. If they miss this 72-hour window, they face catastrophic failure on the beaches of Normandy or the risk of German intelligence discovering the plot.

What a snooze fest!!!   I couldn't even make it through this movie.   Like I'm sure it was well done and yada yada yada but a war movie based on the dependence of weather?   Seriously?   This was a story dying to be told?    Beyond boring.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this movie.   Ever.   Unless you are having trouble sleeping.

The Breadwinner

A supermom lands a Shark Tank deal, switching roles with her breadwinner husband. He struggles to adapt as a stay-at-home dad to their three daughters.

This was good for what it was meant to be.  A throwback family comedy about a dad struggling to do mom's job.   The kids were cute.  The chaos was entertaining.   Good first movie for Nate Bargatze following the age old first movie of most comedians from back in the day.

I would recommend people checking this out.  Its a short and enjoyable family comedy.

Backrooms

When a failed architect and struggling furniture store owner, Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), discovers a mysterious portal in the basement of his strip mall warehouse, he stumbles into a sprawling, maze-like dimension of drab, yellow-wallpapered rooms known as the "Complex". After one of his patients vanishes into this otherworldly limbo, his therapist, Dr. Mary Kline (Renate Reinsve), is forced to venture into the dangerous, uncanny wasteland to save him. Soon, she and a group of others are dragged into a terrifying cosmic horror realm where they must navigate endless liminal labyrinths and confront both unseen forces and their own frayed minds.

This is one of those tension/scary movies that kill me.  The premise was interesting as hell.   The build up for the first 3/4 of the movie was great.   I was honestly enjoying it a lot even though I had no idea where it was going.   It was very well done . . . . . . to that point.   Then the movie completely went off the rails for the last 1/4 of it.   Like completely off the rails where I was watching the rest of it with the WTF look on my face.   And that sucks because I don't want to tank the movie review wise because again I was very much digging it but it really falls off the deep end.

I would somewhat recommend people checking out the movie for the premise and the first 3/4 but you have to know that it doesn't end well.

The Mandalorian And Gorge

The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they enlist the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his young apprentice, Grogu. Spinning out of the events of the hit streaming series, the duo takes on a daring assignment to rescue Rotta, the only surviving heir to Crime Lord Jabba the Hutt, who has been kidnapped by a rival syndicate on the Outer Rim. This dangerous quest plunges them into the galaxy's seediest corners, forcing Din and Grogu to face off against dangerous criminals while uncovering the lingering shadows of a mysterious Imperial plot.

This movie is 1000000000% about expectations.  If you were looking for a Star Wars cinematic masterpiece comeback then you will undoubtedly be disappointed.   If you are cool with watching what was basically the new season of The Mandalorian on the big screen then you will be very happy with the outcome.   They didn't try to reinvent anything or make it bigger.  This straight up felt like a 6 episode season all put together into a movie and I was completely fine with it.

Any fans of The Mandalorian series should love this as should any not too over analytical Star Wars fans as a whole.  It was very entertaining throughout.

Passenger

After a young couple, Tyler and Maddie, leave New York City behind to embrace a nomadic "van life" adventure, their romantic road trip quickly derails. A few weeks into their travels, they witness a gruesome and horrific accident on a desolate highway. They stop to check on the victims and help at the scene, but they soon realize they did not leave the crash alone.

This movie was good for what it was meant to be.  It has some really good jump scares.   There was enough creepy tension building scenes.  And most importantly it didn't run too long.   Still could have been shorter but it stayed in that necessary run time window for it to not drag.

I would definitely recommend this for jump scare movie fans.   It was simple and not oversaturated like a lot of this movies can get.

The Sheep Detectives

After their shepherd is found mysteriously murdered, an extraordinarily clever flock of sheep takes matters into their own hooves. Raised on a nightly diet of classic whodunit novels, these sleuthing sheep team up with an incompetent local police officer to uncover clues, interview human suspects, and solve the crime.

This movie was exactly what it was supposed to do.  Great voice casting for the sheep with all different personalities and them trying to figure out what happened to their owner and adjust to life without him.   It was maybe a little longer than it had to be in an effort to pull some extra heartstrings/emotions but it was definitely a cute watch.

I would sort of recommend this to people - especially families/kids.  It's not a must see by any means but it was a decent watch.   

Is God Is

After surviving a traumatic childhood fire that left them with disfiguring burn scars, twin sisters Racine and Anaia discover their long-lost mother is still alive. Summonsed to her deathbed, they are given one chilling, final directive: hunt down and kill their estranged father, the man responsible for destroying their family. The sisters embark on a violent, mythic journey across the American South, confronting a brutal family history and stopping at nothing to enact their revenge.

I am feeling like this movie was falsely advertised.   I completely expected a horror/scary movie with some kind of witch like activity maybe.   This was a road trip movie with most of the violence happening off screen until the very end.   Like it was watchable but honestly incredibly pointless.   The trailer gave weird vibes and there was like zero weirdness in this movie.   Very straight forward and just kind of there.

I wouldn't recommend anyone checking this out.  It's watchable but not a must see by any means.

In The Grey

In the Grey follows a covert team of elite operatives who live in the shadows of global power. When a ruthless despot and criminal gang steal a billion-dollar fortune, the crew is dispatched to steal it back in what is effectively a suicide mission.

This was a decently fun watch.   It had a simple story, a nice short run time and felt like working your way through a mission based video game.  They planned it all out and then executed it with some dialogue scenes in-between.   I wish more movies chose this simpler route instead of overcomplicating stuff just because.

I would recommend people checking this out.  There is good chemistry and its a simple/short enough movie to just sit back and enjoy.

Obsession

When shy music store employee Bear (Michael Johnston) fails to win over his childhood friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette), he breaks a "One-Wish Willow" trinket, wishing she would love him "more than anyone in the world". The spell works immediately, but Nikki’s affection quickly mutates into a toxic, violent, and nightmarish fixation that traps Bear in his own dream-come-true. As her behavior spirals into madness, Bear realizes he has forced a grotesque, irreversible reality on them both, turning a romantic fantasy into a fight for survival.

This was one super weird movie.    On one hand it had quite honestly the worst acting I have ever seen.   The lead girl was good but the rest of the cast was like plucked off the street and it massively showed.   However, the goal of building tension and having you watch all scenes on edge about what the girl was going to do was actually really well done.   Like it made you super uncomfortable and made it that pretty much any reaction she had to something made you pull back.   So kudos to that but like the rest of it was very mailed in and made it a not really good movie.   LOL

I would sort of suggest this movie to certain people just because the manipulation of sound and tension with the obsessed girl.  But it is admittedly not a good overall movie by any means.

Mortal Kombat II

Following the events of the 2021 film, the champions of Earthrealm are coerced into battling in the official Mortal Kombat tournament. The villainous Outworld emperor, Shao Kahn, threatens the existence of Earthrealm and its defenders.

This movie was exactly what you thought it would be.   It's more of the same from the reboot a few years back and just adding in Johnny Cage pretty much.   Same kind of fighting and visuals.   I felt it was definitely longer than it needed to be but outside of that it was good for what it was meant to be.

I would recommend this to anyone that was a fan of the original.  It really is just more of the same.  If you have not watched them before why would you start now?  

Deep Water

An eclectic group of international passengers en route from Los Angeles to Shanghai are forced to make a harrowing emergency landing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The plane, having suffered an explosion in the cargo hold, breaks apart, scattering survivors across the vast, deep water.

What a huge pile of trash this was.  Remember when Renny Harlin was a relevant action director.  Now it's just this.  I mean I didn't expect much from the trailer but this was somehow even lamer than the expectations in all honesty.  Longest plane crash ever.  LOL.  And then trying to deal with starks for 45 minutes.  This would have been lame even as a Netflix movie honestly.  

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie ever.   So lame.

The Devil Wears Prada 2

Twenty years after the original film, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) faces the decline of traditional magazine publishing and shrinking influence at Runway. When a labor scandal threatens to destroy the magazine, an unlikely alliance is formed. Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), now an established journalist returning to Runway as features editor, must navigate the modern digital landscape alongside a ruthless new executive team.

With all the recent nostalgia reboots or very late sequels it really has come down to hitting or missing on the nostalgia.    This movie stuck the landing perfectly when it came to that.   It reconnected all of those great character connections from the first and you could tell that they had a lot of fun making this movie.  All four of the main characters had great storylines and call backs and the theater was very happy with the movie.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out for a fun character comedy just like the first one was.

Hokum

When reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman (Scott) retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Soon, disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw him into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

This movie was such a snooze fest.  It took forever to get to any sort of spooky stuff that you were already massively disconnected from the movie.   It also very much had a weird aesthetic that made it seem more like a made for tv movie instead of a wide release.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this.   It's honestly just there and pretty pointless.

Mother Mary

Following a catastrophic on-stage accident, pop icon Mother Mary prepares for a comeback concert but finds herself in a deep crisis. Seeking to reinvent her image, she reconnects with Sam Anselm, an estranged friend and brilliant costume designer who was once her creative force but was dropped from her inner circle without credit.

What the heck was this?   Like it very much had an overly stylish look.  But that was honestly it.  I couldn't tell if it was a "horror" movie or a drama because there really wasn't anything remotely scary even though it clearly wanted to be spooky.   And there was honestly no hook that would have been able to get through the overly stylized look of the movie.

I would honestly not recommend anyone bothering with this.   It's an overly artsy movie without much substance.

Michael

Michael (2026) is a sweeping biographical film exploring the complex life of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson (played by Jaafar Jackson). The movie covers his rise from the Jackson 5 to global stardom through the 1988 Badtour, highlighting his musical genius, demanding relationship with his father, Joseph Jackson, and the immense pressure of his stardom.

This movie was great for what it was.   If you would be interested in seeing a movie about the music and early life of Michael Jackson while he rose to superstardom this did a great job of that in a very "feel good" kind of way.   If you are looking for a complete biographical movie with the off the wall adult part of his life there was no way that was going to be in this because it was made by his family/estate.   It stopped at the Bad tour and could definitely be seen as a fluff piece but it was still enjoyable and his nephew's acting along with Colman Domingo as his father was really good (even if the latter looked like an Eddie Murphy character from Coming To America).

I would absolutely recommend this movie to fans of Michael Jackson's music.   Anyone looking for a complete biography will definitely end up frustrated by the fluff spin throughout this movie.

Normal

Ulysses (Odenkirk) takes an interim job in snowy Normal, Minnesota, finding a peaceful town that hides a deadly secret—a massive, illicit weapons and cash cache connected to the Yakuza.

Is Bob Odenkirk just like the new Liam Neeson?  This movie was just like Nobody and Nobody 2 but him wearing a cop's uniform.  Normal looking guy out of place has to fight his ass off to survive.   It's forgettable the second you are done watching it but a decent watch while you are.  LOL!

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's ultimately just there and definitely Liam Neeson replacement type casting.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy

After daughter Katie (Natalie Grace) vanishes in Egypt, parents Charlie (Jack Reynor) and Larissa (Laia Costa) are devastated. When she is found eight years later, she is mummified and nearly catatonic, only to be revealed as a possessed vessel.

Couple of things here . . . . . . . 1 - How do you put your name in the title when you have pretty much nothing to your name?  2 - How in the blue hell do you make a mummy horror movie that is 2 hours and 17 minutes long?   Like maybe if this was a 90 minute horror movie - since ZERO background/build up was needed whatsoever - this could have been somewhat watchable for a jump scare and gorefest kind of movie.  But it just went on forever and was ultimately just there.

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  It is by no means a worthy watch and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.

You, Me & Tuscany

You, Me & Tuscany centers on Anna, an American who becomes ingratiated with an Italian family after tricking them into thinking she is marrying their son Matteo. But tensions rise when Anna begins to develop feelings for the family’s other son, Michael. 

Even thought this movie was beyond cliche and predictable in every way, it really was a very enjoyable rom-com.  The chemistry between the leads was great and the role characters that filled out the rest of the cast each brought their own stamp to the movie to make it more watchable.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very fun and crowd pleasing watch.

Faces Of Death

A Content Moderator investigates a series of viral, potentially real snuff videos that mirror the 1978 "Faces of Death" film.

What in gods name was this?   So they wanted to bring back the cult classic stuff from 1978 but having someone try to re-enact the killings in like a basement movie kind of way?   This movie was actually even worse because they tried to take themselves seriously.   Like it was honestly like watching paint dry for the vast majority of it.

I would not recommend anyone ever bothering with this.   I was hoping for like a laugh at how bad it was kind of a thing and it wasn't even that.  

The Drama

As the couple prepares for their wedding in Boston, they and their friends (played by Mamoudou Athie and Alana Haim) play a dinner game, revealing "the worst thing you’ve ever done". The evening turns uncomfortable when Emma reveals a harrowing secret from her teenage past: she once planned a school shooting, even bringing a weapon to school, before deciding not to go through with it.

This was a very weird movie - especially considering the casting.   Like it was just a convo that spiraled way out of control.   That was literally the whole movie.   All sorts of over the top psychological reactions to a convo and how it massively snowballed.  And that might have been okay but the way that it was filmed in like this desperately wanting to be considered artsy way was incredibly annoying and pretty much ruined the movie.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone checking this out.   It's not even worth the time if you have it.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

After Bowser's defeat in the 2023 film, his son Bowser Jr. launches a crusade to free his father from captivity, forcing Mario and friends to travel through outer space and across new galaxies to stop him.

This was the definition of a more of the same sequel.   The animation was great, you know and love the characters from the first one and the introduce new ones that you connect with too.   The story is pretty much irrelevant.   The kids love it and you love it because of being connected to it in some way for pretty much your whole life.  So just enjoy the ride.

I would recommend people checking this out.   It will be just as big as the first one if not bigger and its worth the couple of hours.

They Will Kill You

After her sister goes missing, Asia Reaves (Beetz) takes a job at "The Virgil," a high-end apartment complex, to infiltrate the building. She finds that the elite residents are part of a cult led by the building’s superintendent (Arquette) and that the tenants are immortal worshippers of a demonic entity. Armed with survival skills, Asia must navigate the deadly building to save her sister, resulting in high-octane combat and "cartoonish brutality."

Is this now like a genre of movie?   Escape satanic cult survival with crazy gore?   This is essentially just another more off the wall version of Ready Or Not and Ready Or Not 2.   Desperate person put in desperate situation and must survive at all costs.   This one was even more off the wall than other very similar movies though.   And that very much does not mean it made it better.   LOL

I wouldn't recommend that anyone bother with this unless you are the type that can see a movie that is so bad and manage to enjoy it for its lunacy.   If that is the case then this movie is right up your alley.  

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come

Following her bloody triumph over the Le Domas family, Grace's nightmare is far from over. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come finds Grace and her estranged sister, Faith, hunted by a new, more dangerous cabal of, elites, eager to seize the High Seat of the Satanic Council. As the game returns with new, convoluted rules overseen by a mysterious "Lawyer" (Elijah Wood), Grace must transform from victim to hunter in a desperate battle to survive another night.

This movie is pretty much just more of the first.  There was nothing added except for the sister and two people being hunted instead of one.   Same kind of dark humor, gore and chaos.   If you liked the first one I don't see why you wouldn't like it.

I would recommend it to anyone that liked the mindless gore/action of the first.  If you have not seen that I have no idea why you would go anywhere near this.

Project Hail Mary

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. Waking up on a tiny ship light-years from home, with two dead crewmates for company, he must puzzle out his mission—and a solution to a cosmic threat—through fragmented memories and an unexpected alliance with an alien visitor. 

Right off the bat the movie was a little too science overall.   Like I felt like I was back in physics or whatever at times.  The movie was also WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long.   Like when you are watching scenes in a movie knowing that this could have been on the editing room floor then the movie is way too long.  Those two complaints aside - this was a really enjoyable and fun movie.   Visually at times it was incredible.  The use of the score and sound was like a powerful character in the movie.   And the bond between Grace and Rocky was very ET-like and a huge hook for the movie.

I would recommend people checking this out but I could very much see those first two complaints about it turning a lot of people off.   If you are able to get past them though this is a very enjoyable movie built on the charisma of Ryan Gosling.

Undertone

In this 2026 psychological horror from director Ian Tuason, Evy (Nina Kiri) works as a skeptical paranormal podcaster while acting as a caregiver to her comatose mother in their isolated home. Along with her co-host, Justin (Adam DiMarco), she receives a series of 10 terrifying, cryptic audio files from an anonymous sender featuring a couple, Mike and Jessa, documenting a disturbing supernatural presence. As Evy becomes obsessed with investigating the sinister messages hidden within the audio—including corrupted nursery rhymes—the demonic forces in the recordings start invading her own reality. 

This is one of those horror movies that tries to do the whole slow build to the payoff ending but drops the ball.   The build up is way to boring and fails to hook you so it doesn't matter what the pay off is.

I would not really recommend anyone checking this out.   It's another forgettable "scary" movie that was more idea than actually delivering on it.  

Reminders Of Him

After a perfect outing with her boyfriend, Kenna (Maika Monroe; The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Longlegs) makes an unbearable mistake that sends her to prison. Seven years later, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming, hoping to rebuild her life and earn the chance to reunite with her young daughter, Diem, whom she has never known.

This is another heart string puller from the Colleen Hoover books to movies train.   It is a good watch if that is your kind of movie.   However, if you saw the trailer you quite honestly saw the movie.  I was honestly so confused that I could have sworn I had seen this but it was just the exposure of the movie from the trailers and commercials that gave you everything already.

I would somewhat recommend this movie to people.  It is not a must see by any means whatsoever.  But it is a decent watch regardless.

Slanted

Joan, played by Shirley Chen, is ostracized for her heritage and uses a, at times, "grotesque" process to look caucasian, after which she is portrayed by Mckenna Grace.

I really don't know how this body horror thing has become a genre but this was the tamest entry in the genre so far.   This is like The Substance but watered down for a more teenage audience.  Nowhere near the over the top gore and grossness of other ones with a pretty decent premise but it pretty much fails to hit any marks it was aiming for.  

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.   It's a just kind of there type of movie that is very forgettable.  

The Bride!

After a century of solitude, Frankenstein's monster seeks a mate, resulting in the reanimation of a murdered woman. The Bride, however, refuses to be merely a companion, asserting her independence and initiating a violent, romantic outlaw journey.

What in the blue fucking hell was this!?!   I'm sorry but this movie was such hot garbage.  How did these actors say yeah let's do this.   The first half was like a weird genre hopping movie between horror, comedy, drama, musical.  And then the second half was literally Bonnie & Clyde but with . . . . . monsters.

I would not recommend anyone bother with this movie.  Ever.

Hoppers

What if you could talk to animals and understand what they're saying? In Disney and Pixar's all-new feature film "Hoppers," scientists have discovered how to "hop" human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals!

When I saw this trailer the first thought in my head was um . . . . . . . . isn't this just Avatar but for animals?  And it pretty much was but in a much more heartwarming way.   The fact that they actually acknowledged at one point might have been the biggest laugh in the whole movie.   But the movie was very funny with great characters and connections.  This felt very much like Pixar getting back to its roots instead of being a little too specific with their recent releases.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It was a very enjoyable watch for both adults and the kids that they bring to it.

Scream 7

When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.

This was a decent entry in the franchise.  I mean let's be honest at this point they are not reinventing anything and it's really just more of the same.  It was a decent amount of nostalgia, a good enough amount of jump scares and they actually definitely upped the violence of the kills which caught me off guard.

I would recommend any fan of the franchise checking this out.  It was a decent entry and nothing to really complain about.  

I Can Only Imagine 2

A decade after the chart-topping success of "I Can Only Imagine," Bart Millard is on top of the world, but his personal life is fracturing. When his son faces a life-altering health diagnosis, Bart is forced to confront his past to avoid repeating the mistakes of his father. Featuring new music and a deeper look into the power of gratitude, this powerful sequel follows the journey behind the hit song "Even If".

This movie was exactly what you would think it was.   A spiritual heart string puller that is a decent watch.   Very similar to the first one - these types of movies really depend on your mindset when currently watching them.  If you are open to inspiration and hope at the time they are great and very reassuring.  If you are not you watch them like get the hell out of here.  LOL!

I would somewhat recommend people checking this out.  Like I said - if you are in the right mindset it is a decent watch.

Psycho Killer

Following the brutal murder of her state trooper husband, officer Jane Thorne (Campbell) tracks a serial killer known as the "Satanic Slasher" (James Preston Rogers), revealing a deeply depraved, sinister agenda.

This movie was hot garbage.  Like absolute hot garbage.  It could have easily been a movie that was so bad that you are still able to enjoy it because of laughing at how trash it is but this movie was even worse than that because they tried to take themselves seriously.   Like how do you make a movie this lame and act like it's taking it serious level quality?  

I would recommend nobody see this.   Ever.
