First Reaction: #HIM is visually striking and cryptic, a Devil’s Advocate meets Training Day thriller set in the world of football. Marlon Wayans is intense and calculated. It’s worth a second watch to catch the subtle details and unpack its look at football culture.#HIMMovie

Tense, emotional, and straight-up gripping. The Long Walk blends Stand By Me with Hunger Games vibes. David Jonsson is phenomenal. Don’t miss it this weekend. Read the full Taji Mag review: tajimag.com/the-long-wal...

There's dialogue between David Jonsson and Cooper Hoffman in #TheLongWalk  that made me instantly think of Creed and Rocky. See it for yourself September 12!

The perfect couple? Not quite. The Roses, a modern take on marital warfare. It's funny, heartbreaking, and shows how easily a perfect life can turn into a battlefield. Check out the review in the link. tajimag.com/the-roses/

#TheLongWalk  is an emotional gut-punch. Terrifying and tense, with a cast that makes every loss hurt. David Jonsson is a standout and continues to show he’s a rising star. I'm surprised it gave me the feels and a little cringe. It's like Stand By Me meets The Hunger Games.

Weapons is a rollercoaster of horror, jump scares, terrifying imagery, dark humor, and twisted tension. Zach Cregger continues to revive horror in bold, unexpected ways. Think an R-rated R.L. Stine mashed with It and 28 Days Later.Highly recommend.

After years of disappointing outings, #FantasticFour: First Steps gives Marvel’s First Family the reboot they deserve. With strong performances, retro sci-fi vibes, and plenty of heart, this film feels like a fresh start for the team.

#Superman    First reaction: The action was great, and it's awesome seeing so many DC characters on screen! Superman was ok, but Lex shined & Mr. Terrific was perfectly handled. Krypto was the biggest source of fun! It's funny, relatable, and political. Solid watch.

First Reaction: If you’re looking for thrills, laughs, and the vibe of Willie Beamen teaming up with Maverick, F1: The Movie delivers. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris go charm for charm, quip for quip. It’s a hell of a ride and is a must watch in IMAX.

#Thunderbolts* is funny, chaotic, and a little redeeming. The Void’s quiet destruction? Unnerving.
David Harbour as Red Guardian is a standout, messy, lovable chaos.
Flawed? Yes. But a support group of soul-searching heroes? Weirdly heartfelt.

#TheAccountant2 delivers—action, emotion, humor, and heart all in one. Christian continues to evolve as a character: still a beast in combat, but more emotionally layered than ever. His dynamic with his brother, his awkward but honest attempts at connection. A sequel done right.
