Hamnet (2025)

A supposition of how a master artist was inspired to create a classic play. Ms Buckley masters riveting. It only takes a manner of minutes before she blows us away. A beautiful guttural actress. Mescal was passionate and romantic stuck in a dreamworld that paralleled his own without the magic or the hope. Zhao was efficient with feet planted on the ground and her head looking upwards. An uplifting end falters because it relied on mythical belief instead of the realism it suggested. 11-Jul-2026
The Mummy (2026)

Child is kidnapped in foreign country and resuscitates as a mummy 8 years later. How does a family that is established deal with that kind of return? Half and half. The showdowns were based on cliches but the child astounded and the staff was on it. The visuals were full of creativity and hauntings. I keep remembering them. I was curious, spooked and entertained. 08-Jul-2026
Undertone (2025)

A daughter cares for her comatose mother whilst hosting a mystery show that entices viewers with myths and facts. The premise only works if the source of the terror (the show) weren't so basic. I could not concoct the visuals necessary to instill fear from the audio presented. Video might have fixed that. Bumps in the night and sleight of hand make up the scares. The film was working towards authenticity but missed being that by not allowing the actors to work for it. When mama falls off the bed daughter is shown off camera helping her back. I wanted to see the struggle of an actor turning a thought into an action. It would have been inspiring. Nina Kiri carries the weight of the film because the support was invisible. Someone needed to physically free her of the constraints. The crust was decent but the pie not so much. 07-Jul-2026
Project Hail Mary (2026)

I zigzagged to the point of disappointment. The sun will cease to exist in 30+ years unless somebody figures a way to save it. A science professor that treats his students like he's Barney is earth's only hope. Sandra Huller takes charge of the project and our attention. Once the basics were revealed the flashbacks destroyed my belief. An ordinary man is tasked with saving a humanity that lacks it. The flashbacks did not move the concept forward. The rock gave me pause but I relented because Mr. Gosling was in supreme mode. I ended up resenting it and it's lack of imagination. I had a pet rock as a kid and nothing good ever came of it. I lost it when somebody threw it at me and I began to bleed and scream. The main character is the least descriptive because he was cast as a loner who had nothing to live for. Beauty has no connections? Odd. Huller's character was diminished by a lack of side story. The karaoke characterization spoke of a different spirit not evolved. For some odd reason, I kept comparing it to Armageddon but decided that was impossible. I enjoyed Armageddon. 05-Jul-2026
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)

It felt like a TV sequel of a film. The silliness tired and the action stall tactics were irresponsible. It was an unrealistic interruption to dire situations and it happened often. The sisters had a dynamic but it relied on harping about the same subject whose urgency no longer mattered. Change the subject. The film kept going around in circles which didn't help with sleep. The cast were in a fun movie I wasn't privy to. I think I stayed because I wanted to see Ms. Weaver get clean. She did and it was the only gift. 03-Jul-2026
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)

Magic is dissipating but beauty remains the same. 02-Jul-2026
Pillion (2025)

Subservience in a relationship obtains power by letting another decide one's fate in it. A master's strength is holding a position that intimidates without absorbing the frailties that can make a heart break. Love is the rarity that dissolves that type of union. The film pensively explores two men defying normality and denying the truth. Mama sheds light, the mannequin delivers and the son wakes up to a fitting end. 26-Jun-2026
The Nightmare Upstairs: Ty & Bryn (2026)

Parental battle ensues when dad sticks his finger where he wasn't supposed to during a co-parenting visit. Mother battles with betrayal but the daughter was very explicit. Brother cries "me too" and daddy visits become a chore. Overreactions are stirred and trust in a family generation is lost. The professionals made it worse by not creating a solid program. Rulings had the children partaking in daddy visits that the kids vehemently refused. The kids become scared and decide to barricade themselves in the elder's bedroom. When the mother described flattening the food so it could fit under the door I rolled my eyes and they didn't come back. I would have left them there for a day then I would have run to the internet to figure out how to protect my family legally and bust their door down. Instead, she turned the computer on to entertain us. Didn't she miss her kids? Mother-in-law makes good points but is too matriarchal and ignorant of what men can do. There is a countdown to daddy finally talking but it's just a narrative love letter to his children. It baffles, confuses and can't answer any of the questions. Sympathy can't find a place when everyone is suspicious. 24-May-2026
Black Phone 2 (2025)

Wonder Twins versus Freddy Krueger. Sister's superpower is to have 4K dreams of abused boys and brother makes public phones ring. Sibling effects after surviving catastrophe doesn't blend with their present choices. What makes them think they can help anyone when they should be avoiding mental imbalance by obsessing over teenage things. The set-up was an excuse and the love interest looked like the brother which kept jolting me awake confused as to why she was making out with her brother. The film tries tying all it's knots together but they don't hold and it gives way to Carrie/Pazuzu awakenings and It tomfoolery. Boys without dicks equal women with power. 18-May-2026
Send Help (2026)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the shot of Dylan's butt. It was just as expected. Knightwing be damned. 15-May-2026
It was a mixed bag. The story depended on actor magnetism and camaraderie. Dylan and Rachel outmaxxed their credit. When does a character become an actor's most iconic? When it suits them. Splashes of originality can't negate that it's not really a horror movie but a parody of ethics. Sloppy employee becomes stranded on an island with a wounded boss that refuses to promote her. A battle of the sexes ensues. The battle for survival is glossed over. A survivor in the making does not inherit skills so easily without some background and yelp. She learned all this from Youtube? The only way a woman can control a man is if he is unstable and there is no one else around. The coincidences were great choices that were parodied instead of being treated as dramatic arcs. The refrigerated salvation gave me poppy shudders. WTF? The biggies may have stepped out during it because that felt out of place. 15-May-2026
Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026)

I liked it, I really liked it. Please don't tell Mikey. 13-May-2026
Marty Supreme (2025)

Ambitious perfection. 05-May-2026
Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow (1959)

Before Scooby Doo there was this. An amalgamation of sitcom sensibilities, talking parrot extremes, dance and musical numbers, generation gap dissection, tom foolery, daddy perversions, money problems, stupidity and lesbians galore. Fast & Furious club are being targeted for more money because of it's reputation. Teen daughter is a drag race queen who has to concoct ways to manipulate the club and the cops from not snitching. She's a manhole on wheels. Daddy does not want his daughter fucking around with bees. Mommy needs to hear about good sex from anyone else. Drag racers are misunderstood. The men are pussies to their sometimes womanly lovers. Agatha was devine. The high is so stupid you have to laugh. Me not understanding what my parents' teenage asses said or did was hilarious and relevant. 05-May-2026
Wuthering Heights (2026)

Fennell is a diva whose use of instruments compliment her. Margot's Catherine is an untamed delicacy that can't sit still. Elordi's naughty edge was electric. Together they roar through an often told tale, commanding emotions as it rolls along. The movie is rustic, challenging and sexually explosive. Everything seems out of place except for the truth that romance is devastating. 03-May-2026
Good Boy (2025)

The dog said, "get me outta here!" whilst the humans yelled "WTF?!!!!!," just for the hell of it. 02-May-2026
It is disconcerting to think of a dog living in darkness for a good portion of its life. There were no lingering impressions that the dog was ever comfortable. Though the idea of a dog's view of a haunting is fresh and experimental, there were too many shadows to cast a good light. Even though Indy was brilliant his light should have been shared otherwise we are to think that our pets don't see us. I wanted to hug it. The scares don't cling to a mythology of substance but having a baby experience them gave it a protective chill. Effort exists but I understood the dog better than the haunt. 02-May-2026
