Spoiler free movie reviews: Paddingtonin Peru (2025)

Fun movie. Similar vide to the first one.

Some unexpected twists, but not hard to follow.

Light-hearted fun; good for most ages. Some tense spots in the action may be tough for very little ones. Spider warning.

Spoiler free movie reviews: Captain America: BNW (2025)

It's another Marvel movie. A good time to turn off your brain and enjoy some superhero action.

Plenty of action scenes and some call backs to past marvel things.

Some language, but otherwise should be kid friendly.

Spoiler free movie reviews: Love Hurts (2025)

Comedy action, Kung-fu fights, surprise love story. What more could you ask for?

The A story isn't super original, but they have fun with it

The side plots are entertaining and may be worth a spin-off series

Still a better love story than twilight.

Spoiler free movie reviews: section 31 (2025)

Technically a Star Trek movie, but doesn't feel very Star Trek

It's not great. Michelle Yeoh could've used more action

Actors all did well with their parts

Probably would've been better as the originally planned series to give time to develop plot

Spoiler free movie reviews: Companion (2025)

If Blade Runner was a murder comedy with plenty of blood.

More of an absurd funny instead of Ha Ha funny.

Thoroughly enjoyable if in the right mood.

Blood, violence, and language make it not the best choice for kids.

Spoiler free movie reviews: one of them Days (2025).

Simple idea, but then things going wrong lead to more things going wrong. Generally, a fun movie formula.

Not high art, but highly enjoyable.

Rated R, primarily for language. The blood bank scene may be a bit much for some people.

Spoiler free movie reviews: Noforatu (2024).

Based somewhat on the original Dracula, I would classify it as creepy suspense horror. It has a few jump scares and a fair bit of blood.

It's not my usual type of movie, but well done and well acted.

Could be a good way to give kids nightmares.

Spoiler free movie reviews: Sonic 3 (2024).

It is the 3rd movie. You should have an idea of what you are getting into.

Some themes may be a little heavy for younger kids.

Overall fun movie with plenty of action.

There is an after credit scene if you wait, but not a big loss if you don't.

Spoiler free movie reviews: Mufasa (2024).

If you watched Lion King (2019) and the trailers, you have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

It is kid friendly, but a little long for some attention spans.

Songs not quick as catchy as the ones from Lion King.

Spoiler free movie reviews: Masters of the Universe (1987).

Did you watch The Punisher and think, "I want more Dolph Lundgren, but in a B sci-fi movie".

Not as bad as I expected. The action drags a bit near the end.

Kid friendly, if it can keep their attention

Saw some actors I wasn't expecting

Spoiler free movie reviews: Kraven (2024).

Another Sony Marvel movie that tries to turn a Spiderman villain into an anti-hero.

Overall: not bad.
Better than Morbius, but not as fun as the Venom movies.

Blood and language make it not for kids, but it is rated R.
