Hey 🇺🇸. As you head into the new year, keep your head up. Reflect and make amends for sure, but also, don't let yourself hear the toxic little doubts... either that it's all gonna be ok, that maybe it's all not as bad as you think.

It's not gonna be ok, and it is really that bad!

Act appropriately!

#TheHandThatRocksTheCradle (2025) Review

It's subversive at first seeming like a critique on class, but it eventually follows the same path as the original. The secrets and drama come out is too messy leading to an unsatisfying ending with little to take away from the film.

A ★★★ review of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (2025)
I was sold on this because of Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. An extra surprise bonus is that this is from the director of the great Huesera: The Bone Woman. I've seen the original, so I cou...

#TheHousemaid Review

Paul Feig's back in A Simple Favor mode. A movie that knows what it is, hits all the tropes, and has fun with it while managing to have some surprises up its sleeve. The cast is good in this.

It follows a woman on probation who lies about her history to get a job as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy family. She soon finds out the mother of the family is unstable to the point it threatens h...

#TheSecretAgent Review

It's too slow and difficult to follow. I struggled my way through this, but it does have its moments.

#TheWailiing Review

A very creepy film influenced by It Follows, but all its time and protagonist jumping builds to an unsatisfying finale.

boxd.it/c99DIh
A ★★★ review of The Wailing (2024)
The film is creepy. It bounces through time and characters to show the horror from different angles. This approach reminded me of 2014's At the Devil's Door which is a film I did like. But I don't kno...

#Influencers Review

A disappointing follow-up to the surprisingly good original. It can't recapture the thrills and it's retreading too much familiar territory. I do appreciate it going after the manosphere though.

A ★★★ review of Influencers (2025)
Influencers is a disappointing follow-up to the surprisingly good original. Influencer was a movie critical of the influencer lifestyle and of the people who are obsessed with hating them. It's only w...

#AvatarFireAndAsh Review

It in no way feels like the end of a saga, and the lack of new biomes or technology advances make it feel less significant than the last movie. Quaritch and Varang steal the show. The visuals are still amazing, but this is the weakest of the three.

A ★★★ review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)
This third Avatar movie feels like it doesn't provide enough new to keep me hooked. The first Avatar had too much hype around it that it couldn't deliver one. The Way of Water had upgraded the tech to...

#DustBunny Review

I love Bryan Fuller's past work, but I struggled to connect with this one. I enjoyed the visual style and whimsy at least, but his characters didn't grab me like Fuller's characters usually do.

A ★★★ review of Dust Bunny (2025)
I'm a Bryan Fuller fan from Hannibal and American Gods. I love his writing. He builds rich, fascinating characters I just love to hear talk. This movie didn't do much for me though. I love the premise...

#NoOtherChoice Review

A good, dark comedy about the current job market with a message for CEOs, but it also digs deeper into how people tie their identities to their jobs for the rest of us. Lee Byung-hun gives Leonardo DiCaprio a run for his money with the physical comedy in this.

It doesn't live up to the "comedy" label, but it's a good romance family drama that was surprisingly touching in the end.

I saw this was being described as a comedy. I have no idea where that came from. There's very little funny about this movie. It's a drama about a family feeling distant from each other after the death...

#WakeUpDeadMan Review

Following Josh O'Connor's Fr. Duplenticy trying to save a failing church from a corrupt priest was too good a story because the movie gets less interesting when the murder mystery kicks in. The movie manages to come up with some good twists to pull me back in.

boxd.it/bXWz0P
A ★★★★ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
I enjoy the Knives Out movies, but I've never been the biggest fan. None of them are great (certainly not Oscar-worthy), but all of them are good murder mysteries. I'm a fan of the Benoit Blanc charac...
