It ends in a way that left me with a smile, despite some of the journey to getting there to be a bit underwhelming at times. Sam still has his fast ball, you have 2 amazing performances and for this time of the year this an above average January release.

The Rip
(2026)
|
Elliott Collins
|
The main draw here is absolutely the dynamic between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Their chemistry is effortless, and they carry the film with strong, charismatic performances. Despite its flaws, it’s a passable, fun watch elevated by its stars.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)

Elliott Collins

I loved how ballsy this was and how it wasn’t afraid to take crazy swings. It takes its time getting into the rhythm, and it doesn't have Boyle's visual "juice," but the narrative payoff is worth it.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)
|
Elliott Collins
|
Fire and Ash is a technical masterpiece. But when a film’s greatest strength is its CGI and its greatest weakness is its soul, it’s hard to recommend. Avatar: Fire and Ash is a shallow, recycled, uninspiring third act to a franchise.

Wicked: For Good
(2025)

Elliott Collins

Wicked: For Good was a complete misstep. The only thing that worked were the phenomenal performances of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Despite their brilliance, the film stands as a narrative, tonal, and structural failure.

The Running Man
(2025)
|
Elliott Collins
|
Suffers from a major identity crisis, leaving it feeling bipolar and unsure of its own purpose. It awkwardly attempts to blend 80s action tropes, complete with one-liners, with a desire for serious social commentary, yet succeeds at neither.

Bugonia is a social commentary wrapped in a surrealist package, a psychological drama disguised as a bizarre comedy. It is a glorious disruption, a testament to the power of audacious storytelling.

At the end of the day, this isn't a crowd-pleaser in the traditional sense. It offered something substantial, something that encouraged thought and empathy, rather than just superficial entertainment.

Black Phone 2 succeeds admirably as a continuation of the mythology, capitalizing on its emotional investment in Gwen & delivering a polished, intensely atmospheric horror experience. The commitment to exploring the characters trauma was very compelling.

While Luca Guadagnino’s directorial vision and the power of his cast, particularly Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield, undeniably elevate the material, the script’s unevenness and its thematic hesitancy prevent it from reaching its full potential.

A blend I can only describe as "Sicario meets Big Lebowski meets Uncut Gems." This surprising amalgamation signifies the films unique tonal audacity. Paul Thomas Anderson's most important film. It is a film that will undoubtedly stick with me for a while.
