Supergirl (2026)

The wrong way to introduce a character. Supergirl is a rebellious mess whose disgust of earth is not quantified. Her debut should have consisted of what brought her to a callous state full of filth and horror. I found no good reason to understand why she hated earth. The story belonged to a much later sequel serving as an arc to redemption. Flashbacks held no resonance or emotional pull. Supergirl's character strength made me realize that Superman lacks authority. I'm surprised he didn't whine. The soundtrack doesn't fit or inspire flight. The action was as dismal as the setting and the production didn't create much with love. 13-Sep-2026
Mom Knows Best (2026)

Mothers secretly bet on the choices their children will make in a camouflaged competition. The kids live in a faux game show created to instill family conflict and keep championship mentality alarmed. The mothers are pampered as they watch their children compete in challenges that mean nothing and dispute ideas geared to opening wounds that make people uncomfortable, esp. parents. 06-Sep-2026
My Adventures With Superman (2023-)

Drinking half and half with my coffee. Its goofy flavor detracts from a robust finish. 09-Sep-2026
Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

A movie about a bounty hunter and the adorable little baby that are bound together by destiny. A Star Wars film without a mythological front. It is what it is and what it is is great fun. Daddy's dulcet tones lulled me into superhero dreams of Dorothy from Oz picking up all kinds of fascinating creatures and having marvelous adventures. Mando is his own worst enemy. He keeps pissing people off who want to kill him. Grogu was the little bastard that stole it with his comical antics and his winning heart. It was a theater experience at home that I adoringly enjoyed. 05-Sep-2026
Batman: Caped Crusader (2024-) 

S2. I'm starting to dread watching it. I have to re-organize my brain to remember who's who because the characters are no longer fond memories but stagnant upgrades. The best way to celebrate diversity is to write something original for them. Why spoil our memories? 03-Sep-2026
Serious recreation without inserting creative personality entertainment. Catwoman in a dress is just a drag queen with no sense. Madame Penguin felt gimmicky and in-comprehensive. It's a drastic change of character without a strong backstory to explain it. Couldn't she become The Hen? The Headless Horseman storyline was enough to make the Scoobies snicker. I thought Batman would be more realistic about it. Batman would never tolerate a fat Alfred wheezing into his ear pieces. They turned Harley Quinn into a deck of cards. The ones we never play with. There was not enough clay on Clayface. He's skin and bones and not squishy at all. It toes the line between realism and magic when all it needs is costumes, gadgets and genius. 04-Sep-2024
Let's Marry Harry (2026)

Fairytales can come true when the sexes feed each other the ingredients for toxicity. They kiss, they fuck, they lie, connive, backstab and destroy. He had a dreamy sun spit face, learned charisma from a book (Cinderella?), commanded body largesse with luscious gams and was as horny as a teen predator off meds. 20 women think him husband material if they shave off some of his bad habits and provide him dutiful love. He came to play at fantasy whilst the women came to pay. The word that no woman is is what they are, jealous. It's the only explanation for acting irrational whenever conflict arose. By the time the reunion rolls along the women have acquired the Guardian skills to put him in his place. Hell, mostly, unless he wants to hook-up again. 03-Sep-2026
Whisper Man, The (2026)

It's miscalculations stopped it from being great. Crime drama about a child serial killer striking fear like an historical predator. Detective is on the case with the assist of a retired cop that cracked the original case and his son whose life is turned upside down by it. Monaghan handles the detective as a studied empath that keeps her emotions inside. DeNiro's weariness downplayed to sound effect. Adam Scott was irrational and overbearing for such a laid back dad. The script made him hit a lot of bad notes. Michael Keaton grasped at past characteristics that made his character silly. Everything was too convenient. Scott's move was in memory of his dead wife. He wanted his boy to share another part of his mom. He never makes it clear if it was his hometown as well since his estranged father lives there. The estrangement clogged the heart and bit off at an emotional showdown. Imaginary friends are tiresome horror tropes that no longer elevate action. I've never met a child with an imaginary friend. Everything it did the boy could have done for himself. Why was it telling him to listen at the door when who wouldn't? I understand that because children are involved that it can't be explicit in its subject but the tapes were an opportunity to chill us that failed. We don't get to hear them or form a better case. A summary was given by the actors instead. The victim was the focal point with little time to establish his character or his thoughts. The clues were illogical atrocities. 02-Sep-2026
Lanterns (2026)

Hal Jordan is a grumpy super daddy whose charisma outweighs reasoning. Pierre's John Stewart is worthy but he pulls away before establishing connections. The sheriff is presented as a stereotype that has something to say that I kept confusing with a Kathryn Hahn interpretation. The subtle nods are enough to keep the comic book fantasies alive, the approach is fair, the memories are fond and mysteries are involving. 24-Aug-2026
Astronaut, The (2025)

Astronaut crash lands on earth after a failed space mission and wakes up unaware of what transpired. Her reestablishment on earth was grueling and invasive, unusual bruising exasperated, baby was cute, hallucinations were stark and safety was non-existent. Well done sci-fi that kept both sides of the equation minimal and low in impact. 23-Aug-2026
Marshmallow (2025)

I have no idea why it's titled that. Children roasted on a campfire? Awkward boy is coerced into Summer Camp and is assigned his bully as the only roommate. It was the parents idea. WTF? Did that adult counselor flirt with an underage girl in a bathing suit? A campfire tale turns true for a hero that dreams of water overconsumption and death. More than halfway through I thought to skip it but I wanted to know how the collage of badly executed frights added up. It had a great ending whose road to it was cracked. 18-Aug-2026
Woody Woodpecker Goes To Camp (2024)

Stupid funny for a lazy afternoon. 15-Aug-2026
Five Nights At Freddy's 2 (2025)

The ambition to make the franchise step up is absent. It does the same thing as before to tired effect. Kill no shows were confusing. How did some of them die? It was a horror geared towards gullible children. A child that thinks mechanical contraptions are friends is far-fetched and the child looks too adult to participate in such lunacy. Yes, the mechanical thing getting inside of the car pissed me off again. I actually thought they would explain it or at least rip the car ceiling off. There were whimsical elements that could have been culled to completion but they were trampled on. A bloodless sequel. 09-Aug-2026
Last House, The (2026)

The threat is incomprehensible. Locking people inside their homes to take over their land seemed like a waste of time when its power was greater than ours. Why the delay? It's a bind the writers had trouble pontificating. The actors were a cohesive unit. They were family. Wagner lead as a dad who had to protect his own without admitting to the danger, Greta Lee was well composed as the mom and the children of all ages clicked. The progression from family vacation to family strife was convincing. Family time was sentimental, neighborly contacts were necessary, animal rescues were understood and the family's resilience was enervating. The best parts of the film were inside the house whilst everything outside remained vague. 07-Aug-2026
Mortal Kombat II (2026)

Super-powered action, simplified storytelling and amiable actors. Mr. Urban's Aussie accent is sorely missed but he's still proficient at delivering quips, face muscles and hair. Bringing back the dead confused. If they can resuscitate you after you die why bother? Is that the point? Because they can? Fight is all that mattered and it's where the film excelled. It took me back to when I payed the games, recognizing characters and being amazed by their looks, moves and kills. 05-Aug-2026
Primate (2025)

Younglings stay home partying whilst dad goes away on business. Pet monkey Ben's adorability is fading due to illness and he's turning mean. The monkey escapes from his enclosure and goes on a rampage. The action set pieces were fresh and unexpected. The handicap was used accordingly. The actors were subtle but captivating. It hurt to watch the transformation from sweet pet to demonic shredder but the film was sheer panic. 02-Aug-2026
