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 up their shit. 05-Dec-2025
It: Welcome To Derry (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
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
Final Draft (2025-)

My first reaction was, come on, why are they always so nice? Then I realized they didn't enter the competition to beat their competitors but themselves. The challenges were grueling, athlete bodies were supe-worthy and togetherness was everywhere. The competitors enjoyed the spectacle as much as I did. 16-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
Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

Thing's eyes got lost under heavy make-up and his mouth movements were hesitant. The beard. I didn't know bricks can grow hair? Fantastic held back. Torch had no life. Very little reminded me of the 60s. Sue Storm's hair was droopy instead of groovy. The baby plot line needed work and Shala-Bal didn't amaze or intimidate. They didn't sprinkle the magic evenly. It was a countdown to a finale that didn't deliver fantastic. Galactus was robbed. Supe capabilities were constrained. 06-Nov-2025
Weapons (2025)

Intriguing premise outdone by nonsensical resolutions. 29-Oct-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
Substance, The (2024)

Every time Quaid did anything on screen I balked. He was an obnoxious asshole providing disgusting chews and bringing the vibe down. All men window dressed and were not awarded the opportunity to become nothing more than buffoons. The guy with the hairy ass was an exception. The ladies were put through hell but the performances kept them alive. The writing would have succeeded further if it wasn't so questionable. How did she pay for The Substance, what happened to the maid, why didn't she have friends or family, why did she tell the neighbor that the original had moved out but still comes and goes every other week, how could she run when she couldn't walk and why did no one realize it was a mask? I saw Kubrick (the halls and bathroom,) Rosemary's baby (claustrophobic spaces,) and Brian De Palma (the Carrie finale.) The director exhibited art but yucked up the ending. It went too far and became unbearable. There is only so much red paint we can take. It accomplished uniqueness and conversation. 10-Oct-2025
Monster: The Ed Gein Story (2025)

Hunnan's depiction is the main reason we anticipate. He was pitch perfect and sublime. A Joker in the making. Lighting made him appear like a a tight Peacemaker sometimes, at others, detached and always anybody but himself. Casting was challenging. The actor portraying Hitch sounded better than he represented. It was Hitch on Ozempic. Anthony Perkins was tall, skinny as a toothpick and had nervous characteristics that glued him to a psychopath. That was not apparent to the actor portraying him or the one who hired him. Tobe Hooper was unwound? Adeline had moments. Christine Jorgensen was spot on. A man can create life but only a woman can guide it. The frills were sometimes burps between segment changes. It's eeriness was special, the thoughts were well constructed and the monster breaks our heart. Is that right? 07-Oct-2025
28 Years Later (2025)

It was unique in prioritizing emotional impact. Young boy is being indoctrinated by his community. A hunt will open his eyes and a kill will make him a man. The rules are established during his training and dead mythology was properly explained. Goals, powers and limitations prepared us. Human escape was suspenseful, the town was slightly defined, the bonds were on and off, credibility began to wallow and the "last minute saves" were unwelcome. A character in a difficult situation has the responsibility to save themselves and gift the audience a survival skill. Dad was a gorgeous asshole that got blamed for everything. Boy forgot he too was a man. A bedridden mother goes on an adventure to cure her mental illness. Dude, she's bedridden! I don't understand how the son could go on such a quest after an intense first hunt. Watching parent cheating sex does not make you fearless. The doctor was an unnecessary paradox. The showdown was sour, the actors were wasted and cliches dissolved reasoning. The boy went on a quest to do something dangerous that he could have calmly done at home. 24-Sep-2025
Superman (2025)

It promises a lot that it doesn't deliver. It celebrates itself before we get a chance to absorb any of it. Beating Superman like a desperate housewife does not bring humanity to his persona and establishing himself as a victim of puny super abuse is not consistent with his mythology. Gunn did not utilize kryptonite because it limited action but embraced creating sun out of everything. It's a willing cast except for the Clarks. They were very hillbilly stupid. The big bad was existential with a personal vendetta and no superpowers to start a fight. The last half goes silly, corny and festive. Fillion's silver bowl hair distracted from his personality. It was also ugly. Mr. Terrific made most of his time by being cool whenever possible, Hawkgirl was miscast as a girl. She's a woman. A Gorilla Grodd would have introduced freshness to the tired and true. A drunk Supergirl was irresponsible and out of place. Does Clark also fuck Lois in the air? The film is just an introduction. 21-Sep-2025
The Girlfriend (2025)

The beginning contains many surprises and shifts and entices the audience into believing it is a banger. A psycho with empathy is a conundrum. The talent is wasted, the mystery is excruciating and the characters shift personality too often. I doubt a clenched mother would be friends with such active and critical people. I zigzagged on whom was right and then realized they both can be wrong. The production missed an opportunity to switch it up by not making the son the evil one. 20-Sep-2025
Lilo & Stitch (2025)

I thought that the human Pleakley was Jonathan Groff. After comparing butts I was less assured. Magnusson was great. My coordinates kept getting fucked up. The film succeeds with humanity, culture and respect. Animation and live art expand its universe. Is it Nani or Noni? My game says Noni whilst the new say Nani which sounds like nanny no matter how you slice it. 13-Sep-2025
