Here are all the previews that played before it started:

No Other Choice(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Marty Supreme(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Primate(Hyped!)
Avatar: Fire and Ash(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
The Housemaid(Interesting!)
Michael(Cautiously Optimistic.)
Now You See Me, Now You Don't:

Now You See Me, Now You Don't may lack a lot of logic and doesn't have a good script or well developed characters, but thanks to it's fun magic tricks and a charismatic cast, it is a lot of fun to watch. Also felt very cartoony too...

7/10

The first Zootopia 2 reactions are coming out tonight.

I am both excited and nervous. Or... ...a excited/nervous combo.

It's one that I have been waiting for for almost a decade... ...and the film that I hope will be the shot in the arm that Disney Animation needs.

That first trailer of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie made me very giddy.

Plus, Larson already makes for quite a good Rosalina and she still NEVER deserved the hate she got.

Here are all the previews that played before it started:

The Choral(Interesting!)
The Secret Agent(Ooooh!)
Hamnet(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Sentimental Value(Ooooh!)
The Running Man(2025)(Will be seeing it on Saturday!)

Yes, I did see it on the big screen and it was FANTASTIC on it.
Frankenstein(2025):

Frankenstein may be imperfect and has an occasionally wonky structure, but thanks to it's gorgeous visuals, stellar storytelling, and fantastic performances, including a defining turn from Elrodi as the Creature, it's another example of why del Toro is one of the greats.

9.5/10

Paramount really has been going through quite a year...

...and one that they will remember for all the wrong reasons. Least they had Final Reckoning, The Naked Gun, and Roofman, I guess? But even that is darned with faint praise.

Here are all the previews that played before it started:

Song Sung Blue(Interesting!)
The Running Man(2025)(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Primate(Hyped!)
The Bride!(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Wicked: For Good(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Predator: Badlands:

Even with it's more lighter tone and PG-13 rating, Predator: Badlands still continues Trachtenberg's excellent streak with the titular monster. Great visuals and action, a ton of charm and atmosphere, strong characters, and a lot of heart are all to be found here.

9.5/10

DreamWorks just entered their "we can put our name on anything" era.

Yeah, I'm good with the CocoMelon movie. It will just well, exist.

Here are all the previews that played before it started:

Marty Supreme(Cannot Wait!)
Is This Thing On?(Interesting!)
The Bride!(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Sentimental Value(Oooh!)
Die, My Love(Interesting!)
Reminders of Him(Interesting)
Song Sung Blue(Interesting!)
Hamnet(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Bugonia:

Bugonia is certainly a strange as heck film, but thanks to it's excellent production values, great message on why what we say may not always be the right thing, and fantastic performances, it shows why Lathimos and Stone have continued to be powerhouses together.

Basically decided to have some fun with editing...

...and also wondering what A24 would have done with Helluva Boss had they also had the rights to it.

Enjoy!

Out of all the news coming out from today...

...somehow, Minions 3(or Minions and Monsters) being leaked and AVALIABLE to listen to right now was not one of them.

AND it came from a recent test screening, too.

Here are all the previews that played before it started:

(The second half was presented in IMAX.)

Now You See Me, Now You Don't(Slight Sigh...)
The Carpenter's Son(Interesting!)
Jujitsu Kaisen: Execution(Oooh!)
Sisu: Road to Revenge(Very Excited! But still need to watch the first film.)
Chainsaw Man: The Movie---Reze Arc:

Huge, epic, very easy to follow, and wonderful for both fans of the anime and newcomers, Reze Arc is one heck of a fun ride that also has a rather deep story, but it's animation and action scenes especially make it very memorable. Iris out!

Primate(Hyped!)
Crime 101(Very Excited!)
Psycho Killer(Very Excited!)
Black Phone 2:

Black Phone 2 may be imperfect and a little messy, but thanks to its fantastic scares and atmosphere, it's great uses of how dreams can affect one in the long run, and terrific performances, it shows why the Grabber is one who still knows his tricks.

(Every trailer except for Now You See Me, Now You Don't was presented in IMAX. The Fire and Ash preview was also presented in IMAX 3D.)

Now You See Me, Now You Don't(Slight Sigh...)
Mercy(Sigh...)
The Bride!(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Tron: Ares:

Even with the baggage it has and a weak story, Tron: Ares still keeps many of what the previous two Tron films memorable... ...especially with it's very slick visuals and an incredible score from Nine Inch Nails. It's especially a must in IMAX 3D.

Here are all the previews that played before it started:

Hamnet(Cannot Wait!)
Black Phone 2(Seeing it next week!)
Regretting You(Interesting!)
Roofman:

While Roofman is as sad as the actual real live event that inspired it, thanks to it's terrific performances, brisk pacing, and a very meaningful message, it really becomes a strong and harrowing film that also shows just how much criminals try hard not to do what they do.

Putting David out on the same day as Fire and Ash and Search for SquarePants is typical of the decisions that Angel makes.

Oh, yeah, they somehow got it back after losing the rights to it last year and having a big lawsuit... ...there's a giant loophole.
October 9, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Here are all the previews that played before it started:

The Bride!(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
After the Hunt(Interesting!)
The Black Phone 2(Cannot Wait!)
Roofman(Seeing it next week!)
Marty Supreme(Cannot Wait!)
Eternity(Interesting!)
The Smashing Machine:

The Smashing Machine may do nothing too out of the ordinary in terms of sports films and isn't for anyone, but thanks to it's tensity and a truly dynamite performance from Johnson, it really ends up being a knockout and a very harrowing film.

Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc(Cannot Wait!)
The Odyssey(Seriously Cannot Wait!)

One Battle After Another(continued):

...let up and hold your hand. It's also goregous to look at and has some of the best uses of music in any film this year. Why, Anderson, you and your team know how to do something good. This was a masterpiece!

Wicked: For Good(Seriously Cannot Wait!)
Eleanor the Great(Want to be excited for it, but the reactions it has been getting have made me cautious.)
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey:

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey may be too fast for its own good and doesn't reach its full potential, but it's terrific cast, fantastic cinematography and production design, and a splendid score by the master Hisaishi made me have a passable time with it.

Him:

Him has a fantastic premise and does have some cool effects and scares and a cast who does do a good job, but it sadly does next to nothing with them and not only is just so dull, but also goes completely nowhere as well. What a big disappointment.

Both Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert don't deserve what they are going throught right now.

A sad example of what has been going on throughout this year.

Won't set it up till Tuesday, though.
