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
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
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
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
Anaconda (2025)

The mugging was on hyperdrive, the script was a discarded King Kong treatment satirized to no effect and somebody's wig was freaking me out. It was very Dorothy and its texture kept changing. The beast was relegated to seconds, the other anaconda had pants on and I couldn't stand any of it. 25-Mar-2026
Zootopia 2 (2025)

The idea that mammals need to bow to serpents is ridiculous. When babies encounter venom they will hug it and die. It was beautiful, joyful, charismatic and fun. 14-Mar-2026
M3GAN 2.0 - (2025)

Logistics must be abandoned to enjoy it. It had Robocop qualities. There were robot tactics aplenty, mama drama and parental gullibility. The premise was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs until it exploded. Every iteration of M3GN was a collectible, the musical moment was inspiring and junk never looked so good. 31-Jan-2026
Mickey 17 (2025)

I watched ready to be disappointed but I was not. It was made for a future generation to fuss over and dissect. Pattinson is a beaten man who has to keep dying in order to survive. His accent and softness humanized Mickey 17 and convinced me to follow him. Pattinson's flashlight stayed on throughout even while twinning. Ruffalo's villain was way over the top. Naomi Aaki pumps the heart and kicks the ass. It's original, bonkers, nerdy and funny but the film lacked space. The supporting cast could have used it. I never stopped caring. 30-Dec-2025
In Your Dreams (2025)

The message is sweet but the idea that adults understand what children dream of is questionable. The obsession with food is gross and teaches kids to be unkempt and nauseating. A town full of talking, walking junk food "on the street" is not a banner for hygiene or a wet dream. I'm old-fashioned. Kid stories should be thoughtful, incisive, imaginative, realistic and responsible. Teach them something they can use! Food being a big part of a child's dream wish list signifies worst things than a nightmare. The art was pleasant, the voices fit and I wasn't unnerved...much. 19-Dec-2025
One Battle After Another (2025)

Teyana Taylor's soulless character stood out for all the wrong reasons. A stereotypical performance with fake bravado. I was relieved when she was done. Not only did I have to contend with a mime signing for the deaf on the corner of my screen with no off button but I was bombarded with a stubborn message that lent no humanity to either side of the argument. I sided with no one. If the solution was to keep fighting why leave their country to burden another and lose out on fixing their own? Why go to another country to hate on those people? If I had nose hairs I would have pulled them out just so I could feel something. It was an unbearable watch that had no artistic value or entertainment pursuit. Penn's walk was a major comic relief, DiCaprio went gut deep, the presentation was ugly and the slog was grimacing. I was getting punched for no reason, like riding a NY subway to work. 19-Dec-2025
Jay Kelly (2025)

They had an opportunity to strip the persona of a legendary actor and explore his reality but what caused it is more important than knowing why he acted that way. It's not his fault that the notion that a celebrity can create happy families is not attainable because absence and success are prevalent. The trip to establish a bond is fruitless. Clooney gave it as much as the script wrote but didn't add anything fresh to his repertoire. Sandler noticed that and added depth to his support. I wished it had been told by his point of view because Clooney's character was too self-involved. The Christmas Carol flashbacks added nothing. At one point, I thought, "hey, another character named Tim but younger." I must have drifted. Flashbacks are nothing without a ghost to guide you. 08-Dec-2025
Troll 2 (2026)

In primitive times God created giant trolls to balance carbon emissions. Christians came along and fucked that up. Revenge polluted the air and the trolls were abolished. A favorite scientific "fairy tale" expert is once again involved when a new troll shows up. Daddy soldier is back without a green arrow or opinions. Beautiful was as ugly as the rest and didn't deserve that name. It was useless, anyway. I spent a lot of time laughing, the dub was ridiculous and made the actors cheesy. A man finds the beast, a woman revives him, another frees him and man has to clean their shit up. 05-Dec-2025
Bring Her Back (2025)

The ritual that is supposed to bring one back from the dead is in another language that is not translated until the end. Well, then why the fuck did it take so long? Unbalanced mother inherits 2 siblings, a hormonal teenager with wet problems and a mostly blind baby sister that has a need to be acknowledged. Boy wants to run with his sister but in 3 months he can do it legally. He just needs to put up with his foster mother's psychosis. The atmosphere is constantly tight. The actors delivered more than the script gave them. Gross is not a metaphor for fright, the ritual is not logical, the actions are less so, I didn't understand Ollie's diet and I didn't appreciate all the red. 28-Oct-2025
