Blade Runner (1982) is the title of the main character's job, a cop who hunts down rogue Replicants (androids) on a decaying futuristic Earth. It's an iconic film, with synth music, stunning visuals, some wild acting performances, and a billion themes to explore.

Finally done with The Running Man (2025), where Glen Powell plays a man who signs up for a reality TV show to get his family out of poverty. He has to survive for 30 days with the public and a goon squad hunting him down in a rigged contest. Powell worked with Tom Cruise on character and his running

Tron: Ares (2025) features an oldie but goodie: objects that can exist in the real world, but only for a limited number of minutes. 29 minutes, to be exact (with no reason given). This one is by far the worst of the three Tron films, just feeling...empty most of the time. Music's solid, of course.

Predator: Badlands (2025) is the story of a runt Yautja (the predators) that goes to a death world to bring himself honor by defeating the "unkillable" boss monster of the planet. While there, he fights against many critters, including vine monsters and a field of razor-grass. The plants are deadly

Stretching this to include Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf (1988), which stars famous disc jockey Casey Kasem as Shaggy. Dracula and his realm of monsters host a wacky race every year, but their werewolf retires. Shaggy is chosen to replace him; winning turns him back to normal. It's a gas.

Done with The Smashing Machine (2025), the Mark Kerr fighting biopic and Oscar-bait starring the Rock. It's...not great. The performances are legit, with the Rock giving probably his best acting ever, but the directing and music are tragically bad, ruining a lot of the interesting moments.

Done with Addams Family Values (1993), in which Fester gets married to a pastels-loving psycho. There are multiple plotlines with characters dealing with polar opposites, including the glorious camp sequences with Wednesday. This is a really fun sequel and seeing Raul Julia always makes me smile.

Well, I just went the easy route and watched The Long Walk (2025). It's haunting. Everyone was in shock and silent as we left the theater, and I just drove home in silence. It's one that's gonna stay with me awhile. You really do find yourself connecting with the boys, making it rough when they die

Watched The Cabin in the Woods (2011), a meta horror flick where a group of 5 college kids are terrorized in the woods...by far more than it seems at first glance. Characters are chased by a variety of monsters throughout the film, which is a wild ride of fun tropes and subversions.

Weapons (2025) is an incredible thrill ride horror mystery about the mystery of a group of students who all disappear in the middle of the night, leaving a traumatized community. Red plays a big role, but to really discuss why is a spoiler. Highly recommend although it's not an entirely perfect film

Completed with Nobody 2 (2025), which has a poster of Bob Odenkirk being punched in the face. Him and the fist = 2. It's a quality sequel to a fun action romp, this time in a location you don't normally picture explosions and shootouts occurring in, but one that makes for great viewing.

Yeah, easily covered by seeing Superman (2025), in which one actor is in multiple roles. I won't specify due to recency and spoilers, but it's done well, makes sense in comic book lore, and it's a nice story beat. Real good reboot of Superman, btw. It remembers that Superman is inherently goofy.

Mahershala Ali's birth name is Mahershalalhashbaz Gilmore; Ali is a nickname. He's a main character in Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025), a solid entry to the Jurassic Park franchise that tries to go back to the simple "dinos attacking people on a tropical island" plotline that worked well before.

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003) is an animated Dreamworks film that focuses on Sinbad choosing integrity over cowardice. He fights to retrieve a macguffin and then, when he could have fled after a failure, instead returns to face his fate and save a friend. Solid film, good voice cast.

The people making the Twisted Metal show get it. This is how you do gaming adaptations!
Rob Zombie, fun nods to the gameplay, characters from the games. It's like a love letter to Twisted Metal.
It's all here!

Bride Hard (2025) is the result of someone pitching what if Die Hard but at a wedding and it's a comedy with no funny jokes? Trained mercs crash a rich family's wedding to steal gold but don't count on one of the bridesmaids (Rebel Wilson) is actually a trained secret agent. It's all about Greed.

Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) has a final act where a group of survivors from different time periods have to team up to take on a series of foes. Their lack of ability to communicate verbally is a key part of this, as they have to adapt to using other methods to work as a unit. Great film.

Went with the obvious new release, How to Train Your Dragon (2025). Close to shot-for-shot remake of the animated classic that doesn't quite live up to the one it's copying. The acting is far worse (Mason Thames has brutal line delivery), they leave out a ton of iconic jokes, but the action is lit

Finally completed with the thrilling zombie horror flick Train to Busan (2016). A group of commuter passengers have to survive a zombie onslaught as their train heads to Busan. The survivors are almost always in motion, moving forward to their final destination. It's incredibly good for horror.

Of course, the thugs aren't happy with the theft and attack the group, leaving the young lady (Tornado) to seek vengeance. It's not an amazing film but one with some great cinematography and fun performances.

Tornado (2025) is a low budget British film that's basically a stark western revenge story. A group of thugs have bags of gold that are stolen from them by a little boy and young girl; the girl is the daughter of a samurai in a traveling show in 1790 rural UK. The entire plot revolves around gold.

Finally completed with Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning (2025). Not one, not two, but THREE mcguffin objects are key parts of the film and the quests to get each one define the story. It's a great conclusion to the franchise but tries a bit too hard to tie the entire film series together.
