The Choral
(2025)
|
Samuel Leggett Jr.
|
Ralph Fiennes leads this beautiful WWI drama about a choir in a small British town. It captures the community's despair and hope perfectly. With great humor and a strong ensemble, it’s a touching film about resilience.

I had low expectations but was won over. The chemistry between Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding is great, and it balances insane gore with self-aware humor perfectly. It’s a fun, entertaining slasher.

Wolf Man

Visually stunning with incredible tension. Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner are amazing, grounding the story in human tragedy rather than typical horror. It’s violent and gory but functions more as a great drama.

Good News
(2025)
|
Samuel Leggett Jr.

Good News is a dark, satirical gem on Netflix. The lead, 'Mr. Nobody,' is brilliant—playing the fool while outsmarting everyone. It balances violence with genuine hilarity perfectly, even in a confined plane setting. An engaging film you shouldn't miss.

Bugonia
(2025)
|
Samuel Leggett Jr.
|
I found Bugonia to be a visceral, psychological masterclass. Plemons steals the show as a conspiracy theorist in a story that brilliantly blurs reality. It’s violent, deplorable, yet utterly engaging—one of Lanthimos’s best.

Your Host
(2025)

Your Host pulls off some of the most creative stunts you'll see in horror this year and has an amazing third act that brings the film to a satisfying conclusion. Just don't expect to care for most of the characters on screen.

While Black Phone 2 drags for most of the film and borrows heavily from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dreams Warriors it's still enough good parts to make this a decent follow up to the original.

Him is one of the worst movies of the year. At just above 95 minute runtime this films feels much longer because of its poor pacing and shock as you go action.

Some of the best visuals Marvel has produced in years can't make up for this slow paced, talkative, action deficient movie that feels more like a Star Trek episode than a big budget movie. This Fantastic Four adventure is far from fantastic.

While the attempt at something different from Marvel is welcoming after 30 plus films and should be applauded, the execution of the film can't be ignored. This surface level, filler entry in the MCU leaves too much to be desired to be a must watch.
