To be completely transparent, I was never a big fan of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise. It just feels like a cheap knockoff and cash grab on the success of the first Scream movie. The movies in this series were popular enough to inspire movie producers to create a legacy sequel,… Continue reading Movie Review: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (2025) Relies Too Much On Nostalgia

Eddington
So Much Dread that the Audience Cannot Help But Squirm In Their Seats or Laugh Out Loud Coming out of this film, one of the first thoughts I had was how it’s the second time we’ve watched Joaquin Phoenix end up in a wheelchair, but that this was a far more compelling and thrilling journey… Continue reading Eddington
Drowning Dry — A Quietly Devastating Exploration of Family, Memory, and What-Ifs
Drowning Dry, directed by Laurynas Bareiša, is not a film that announces itself loudly. Instead, it moves with quiet certainty and emotional precision, gradually unraveling a domestic story with the weight of a psychological thriller. What begins as a lakeside weekend to celebrate a child’s birthday and a martial arts victory turns into a haunting… Continue reading Drowning Dry — A Quietly Devastating Exploration of Family, Memory, and What-Ifs
Movie Review: SUPERMAN
Superman (David Corenswet) must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice, and the human way, he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned (IMDB). DC Comics decided to make yet another Superman film. I am skeptical of most DC… Continue reading Movie Review: SUPERMAN
Superman: Gunn’s Reboot Flies, Even If It Doesn’t Break the Sound Barrier
James Gunn’s Superman is a confident, often charming reboot that understands what makes the character resonate, but also occasionally leans so hard on familiarity and messaging that it forgets to dig deeper. The film drops us into a fully-formed DC Universe, skipping over the usual origin story and opening instead on a bruised and bleeding… Continue reading Superman: Gunn’s Reboot Flies, Even If It Doesn’t Break the Sound Barrier
Movie Review: SORRY, BABY Is An Incredible Indie Film That Introduces The World To Eva Victor
Every so often, I experience a film that has no fancy frills and no exciting visuals but tells a compelling, genuine-to-life story. In 2025, that movie is Sorry, Baby. Going into this movie, I had no prior knowledge of Eva Victor or any work they have contributed to theater, television, or cinema. However, this aspect… Continue reading Movie Review: SORRY, BABY Is An Incredible Indie Film That Introduces The World To Eva Victor
Movie Review: DANIELA FOREVER Rehashes Other Films That Treated Similar Ideas A Little Better.
Even though I have enjoyed most of Nacho Vigalondo’s other films, I am certainly disappointed with his latest entry, a movie titled Daniela Forever. Any cinephile who has experienced films that examine romantic relationships and the problems and failures due to human frailties has already witnessed what this movie has to offer. This movie comes… Continue reading Movie Review: DANIELA FOREVER Rehashes Other Films That Treated Similar Ideas A Little Better.
Movie Review: SUPERMAN Gives The Comic Book Fans The Treatment They Want
1978’s Superman: The Movie will always be iconic and, so far, the definitive cinematic treatment of Superman’s origin story. While Zack Snyder attempted to give a more science-fiction-driven adaptation, it fails to capture the genuine heart that has driven this archetypal hero since his first appearance in comic books. And since Snyder’s DCEU never quite… Continue reading Movie Review: SUPERMAN Gives The Comic Book Fans The Treatment They Want
Jurassic World: Rebirth – A Fossilized Franchise in Desperate Need of Extinction
There’s suspension of disbelief, and then there’s Jurassic World: Rebirth—the latest, and hopefully final, gasp from a franchise that once roared but now mostly wheezes. Directed by Gareth Edwards with Steven Spielberg still listed as an executive producer, the film feels less like a thrilling new chapter and more like a stitched-together collage of better… Continue reading Jurassic World: Rebirth – A Fossilized Franchise in Desperate Need of Extinction
Movie Review: JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH Fails To Revive a Dying Franchise
Much like the scientists who want to make a Jurassic theme park work, the filmmakers of the Jurassic World franchise have scoured to keep it alive. Nothing has worked entirely since the very first Jurassic Park movie. Every further attempt to milk this cash cow has struggled, stumbled, and failed to keep it afloat. There… Continue reading Movie Review: JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH Fails To Revive a Dying Franchise
