A House Of Dynamite (2025)

Bigelow juggled personalities and situations like a master. White House experts are tasked with securing lives when catastrophe strikes without alarming the outside world. The castmates shared a vision that usurped suspense and did well by it. The thrill becomes exhausted when the finale refuses to enact it. I understand the choice but the audience doesn't get to say goodbye to invested characters. 10-Jan-2026
Train Dreams (2025)

The historical life of a logger explored and how life politics and choices detoured his path to happiness. Loss is a pain whose wound never heals. It remains in memory banks of hope. Robert Granier is categorized by an actor that added honor to sympathy. Edgerton owned it. Life is simpler than I thought and harder. 09-Jan-2026
Presence (2024)

The camera substituting for the presence was a great idea. It unsettles whilst causing anticipation. The household consists of interracial parents having preference for their teenage son and or daughter. The gender divide was lightly explained and suffered from awkward dialogue that did not strengthen character purpose. The scares were organic but weren't enough to create a classic horror. The presence has no I.D. It meanders slowly on repetitive angst but it doesn't get to the heart of it. It was drama. The no character close-ups put me on edge. If they would have only added them for the climax it would have jumpstarted some fear. It was curious, well acted, unique and experimental. The ending fit. It was the middle that sabotaged it. 06-Jan-2026
Stranger Things (2016-2025)
It was all heart and I loved it. 01-Jan-2026
I enjoyed this season because I accepted what it was instead of what it should be. 09-Dec-2025
If this were an enjoyable season I wouldn't have talked about their hair. The retro lab visit was every mythological idea the auteurs and their fan pages dreamed up during video chats. It met everywhere but the middle. Russian prison was an excuse to keep actors that can't stand each other apart. (The audience likes them together.) The prison chapter peaked when daddy shaved his hair. He won Best Hair. The extra stuff put me to sleep. Too much. 01-Jun-2022
S4E5. I was surprised how much I had forgotten and remembered. Old people don't have time to look back. There isn't much time. The hair is horrendous. A guaranteed 80's do is brushing it forwards, teasing it, spraying it and letting it go. Instant throwback art. El is a super dork with boy crushes, the token of leftwing communist bullying and delicate. She's a dehumanized weapon. Comicbook El would have found gifts of other strength to make her cope and conquer. Why would she become Carrie? Some of the characters were hard to bear. It zooms away from sense, piles for representation and exemplifies fandom exhaustion. The hair. Worst ever! 30-May-2022
PS: I spent most of the season wanting to comb everybody's messy hair. 08-Aug-2019
The magic dissipated in #3 but unity, bromance, and a pulverizing ending held it up. 06-Aug-2019
#2 gratified every sense with throb and tenderness. 29-Nov-2017
There can't be much to disconcert when with every dedication and homage you are dealt original cards with likeable imprinted players and a perplexing with soul reflexing game.
Wynona is unwavering in motherhood vs sanity as David Harbour is papa Bear strength. The kids are inherent, funny and affecting. Millie Bobbi Brown is tasked with conveyance of eye speak and she handles it beautifully.
Success is achieved through inspiration not impersonation. 29-Aug-2016
Life Of Chuck, The (2024)

It's sweet but reserved. A man's life is explored by the people he touched and inspired him. The main facets of a person's life told out of order with much respect. Does the universe die with you when you go? The actors were easy to like and most eloquent. Hiddleston's time is short but he made the best of it. His dance was joyous, drummer girl rocked, the children were well taught, Hamill made it understood and Mia was glorious. It's Stephen King from the heart. 31-Dec-2025
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
Companion (2025)

Robot malfunctions when man's animal instincts unleash and cause chaos. I admire the film for triggering my imagination. The environment is fresh but by exploring only the sympathetic sex, the general message becomes exclusive. Why not make it a male robot that is programmed heterosexual and misinterprets male seduction as hostile? That's a spin that a robot could misinterpret. Violently. There is a lack of tech in a movie about artificial intelligence. My capacity to accept that robots can have feelings and act exactly like humans is too far out. AI glitches. The companion could have been a little more robotic. Half the fun in watching human actors play synthetics is their interpretation. Acting like themselves does not convince anyone that it's a robot. A robot's personality progression should be gradual and the enlightenment, godly because a human programmed it. I think having the robot become more human as the humans become more robotic could have amped things up. 23-Dec-2025
Great Flood, The (2025)

It wasn't something I expected but am very pleased that it turned out that way. Patience begets understanding, information and the importance of acting as a whole instead of as an individual. I presumed that our leads gave a great performance in their native language but I chose dub and the acting was horrible, esp. the adorable child. It didn't matter because talking wasn't necessary. There are only so many words one can blurt out in an end of life scenario. It haunted, it accelerated and broke a few hearts. 23-Dec-2025
It: Welcome To Derry (2025) 


S1E8. It survives because of memorable shots. The fog, the gumption, It's eyes sparkling, It skipping, It doing anything. The solution seemed too simplified for such an extravagant showcase. 18-Dec-2025
It was the most frightening yet. S1E7. The best way to honor culture is to be honest and inquisitive. I do not understand what It is, more than when I read the book as a child. It was a hefty book. I read on because a beast's rape of a boy sounded familiar to me. I was born to it. I think Bill betrayed his Pennywise character by acting like a kid pretending to be an adult as a human. It was a letdown. The culture clash is not storytelling but stoning. How is one group better than the other? I kept thinking, if we nixed the adult footage would it matter, more?
PS: when soldier mama asked the accused to get undressed I was confused. How did she hide a black naked man in her car with her underage son from the army? 08-Dec-2025
The babies don't step on cues and are willing to make their characters heart-born. I always resented Charlie Brown for cancelling adults but it should apply here. Every time the children were not present, the momentum faltered. The prequel suffers from grandiosity when it needed to be more intimate. It's how gradually works. It never starts better. Where were these military bastards in the future? I'm confused. Is anybody going to explain why dead boy proclaimed that It sleeps all day and feeds all night? I say, "then why is It terrorizing them during the day? Constantly!" The only acceptable answer is, "he was lying." If all doors to a fantasy are left open, it would create chaos. I suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the story but I can't tolerate the nonsensical. The prequel boggles the part of the imagination I would need to believe. TMI. 29-Nov-2025
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)

The best horror movies stay close to home. Why else would it be scary? Nobody cares WTF goes on in Mars. The frights were well placed and the drama was amped up. That is a good thing. The actors worked hard to insure the consequences were high. I was never scared but I was full of thoughts and respect. 13-Dec-2025
Wake Up Dead Man: Knives Out (2025)

Josh O'Connor was an Exorcist "Dimmy" dream. Josh Brolin was a Monsignor undie dropper. Jeremy Renner reached. Mila did well. Daddy Scott was still pinchable but backdoored. No one can light a room like Lady Close. Kerry explored and was successful. I laughed through most of it because it was funny, interesting and dynamic. Daddy superior still has issues with a hypocritical accent. I found a way. Have Super Daddy proclaim that he was faking it for legal reasons. The story was fun, the pace delightful and the performances were sublime. 13-Dec-2025
Heated Rivalry - (2025)

S1E3. Just as I was pondering the point of the series, a beautiful compact hombre appeared to shut me up. 13-Dec-2025
S1.E2. Two of the best asses that gay television can provide to gay men dreaming of eating one. 10-Dec-2025
Beast In Me, The (2025)

Claire Danes characterization starts askew. I wanted her to get a fix on her Karen neurosis. It was exasperating. A woman that writes about people should be more insightful about people. Brittany Snow stood out more than the script allowed her. Daddy Wreck wrecked but didn't inspire. The last two episodes established what the rest should have been, enjoyable. 25-Nov-2025
Sebastian Maniscalco: It Ain't Right (2025)

Daddy Pants needs to rock cooler pants or none. TG his charisma kept him funny. 24-Nov-2025
Frankenstein (2025)

Del Toro kept me in awe and made imaginative choices. Oscar was an excitable Victor, full of verve, vigor and craft. Mia cast a bright shine whenever she appeared and her dresses were resplendent. Elordi lent the creature beauty and humanity. There were times where I saw the actor underneath but it was only an x-ray. The man was fully invested. The story was inspiring, the style elegant, the horror realistic and the action pulsating. 09-Nov-2025
