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
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
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
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
Bugonia (2025)

I appreciated the concept but I have no idea what planet this movie is from. Nutter kidnaps executive because he thinks she's an alien. A cousin is his Frankenstein sidekick. The actors wrecked, the bumbling idiots had no solid plan, the cop was unnecessary, and I wished everyone was in a cohesive movie. The hype doesn't allow me to play along because the outcome is obvious. When the embroidered sacks appeared I went into hysterics. If I had been in a theater I would have had to run out before I got thrown out. Stitched rope. LOL! 01-May-2026
Panic In Year Zero (1961)

Family of four with a trailer and a teen dream set out on a camping trip. Nuclear explosions greet them on the road and they lose contact with the world. When the family find out it is war circumstances drastically change. The world doesn't bond as expected because all they want is to control their unit. Violence becomes a given, men become rapey, young girls are dangerously aromatic and daddy has to kill. It's a B movie with resonant survival skills. #1. Protect women. 2. Become violent. 3. Buy guns ammo and gear. 3. Gather food and shelter. 4. Get out of the situation you are currently in. 5. Create a home and a fortress. 6. Kill anyone that disagrees or has no conscious. 7. Trust no one that has not been victimized. 8. Kill all the bad ones! 21-Apr-2026
The Testament Of Ann Lee (2025)

Ann Lee gives up the joy of life to preach the word of god. She has godly visions that hint at something greater than what is going on. She finds a church she can marry and eventually becomes their mother. The 2nd coming of Christ as a woman. Her mental health was questioned, she was imprisoned, beat, humiliated and spat on but she kept preaching. She even preached when god let her 4 babies die. She blamed it on sex and banned it from her husband and congregants. Christopher Abbott was the heated husband whose belief in God tortured his soul. His wife was now his sister and he was horny as fuck. Heck, I wanted to do that mouth thing on him just to keep him regular. The musical segments were easy on the ears and an extra element of characterization. There are times that you want them to shut up as much the neighborhood but that was the point. Amanda Seyfried was mature, focused, captivating and entertaining. Her visions don't lead to much but her obsession is unstoppable. I thought brother deserved more insight, I enjoyed the flow, the look and I was enthralled. 01-Apr-2026
Secret Agent, The (2025)

Patience and the art of listening is required. Refugee on the run after politics and personal vendettas defame him and target him with violence. Puzzle pieces take their time dropping but they are revealed. The atmosphere was hot, survival skills can only stretch a life so much, the characters were amateur finds, it hooks, it doesn't look away but it doesn't finish satisfactorily. I wanted some hammer time. 11-Mar-2026
Blue Moon (2025)

When a collaboration is successful the power it wields is insurmountable. When a collaborator collaborates with others to greater success, the loss of power leaves a man broken. Hart is a legend hanging by his wits with only romantic notions to keep him hooked. Hawke wakes a has-been from legendary death. His commitment made the words flourish. The character was so complete that I couldn't remember what Ethan Hawke looked like. A play of sorts with historical elements that conveys the truth. Qualley's force closes the film beautifully. I saw and heard the era in her. 10-Mar-2026
Ugly Stepsister, The (2025)

Fantasies have realities that most live version films avoid. Someone figured it out. The writer must intuit the motivations behind every classic action. The cast were harmonious and rhythmic, the protagonist disrobed emotionally, dialogue made sense and the shocks were shocking. The story was realized, poeticized and scary. The pumpkin fell flat. It would have been easier to have Cinderella's admirer coach her. He would do it to woo Cinderella away from the Prince. He had to be home by midnight because he was underage. 25-Feb-2026
