Three Days Grace - Alienation
After EXPLOSIONS there was only up to go, but this still isn't it. Having Adam back in the band is great and their recent live tour was awesome but they still can't seem to escape putting out boring uninspired albums. Deathwish is the best track on the album.

One Piece: Egghead Arc
Over 1000 chapters in and this is one of the greatest arcs to date! Countless fan favorite and underused characters having time to shine. Massive reveals on longstanding mysteries. Arguably the BEST character flashback. The only reason its not a 10 is the meh ending.

Casino Royale
Expectations met for my first Bond film.
Memorable set pieces, with suave yet tense acting. My only problem was how much this film is plagued by implied story telling where if you missed one thing that was on screen for one second the entire scene no longer makes sense.

Hot Rod
Somehow I missed this Andy Samberg classic that has some of the best written comedy in a feature film. The premise is outrageously dumb in an enjoyable way that carries the plot all the way home.
At times though, it feels like a barrage of one off skits and lacks connective tissue.

Chronicle
Found footage is hit or miss for me but this one landed somewhere in the middle. Loved the character dynamics and storytelling.
I didn't feel like the found footage elevated it besides some very cool cinematography in the final confrontation. Would've worked as a normal film.

This album starts off strong and doesn't stop. James shows off impressive vocal range and control, backed by a perfect mix of heavy and soulful instrumentation.
These guys never stop pushing the boundary of what they can do and each release just gets better.

Common Side Effects
Trippy cat and mouse that is constantly engaging, filled with rich characters (both figuratively and literally), and nuanced commentary on capitalism and human nature.
It's great that we still have creative, plot driven animations on TV and I can't wait for season two!

Strange Harvest
Went in blind and was pleasantly surprised with what I got. Dateline style mockumentary about an occultic serial killer with an engaging enough storyline that I didn't want to leave the theater and pee.
Unfortunately feels like a half baked version of what it could've been.

Weapons
Walked out of the theater feeling mixed but everything that I liked was 10/10 material! But up until the kid's POV I wasn't even sure if I liked it at all.
Interesting narrative structure with a memorable cast, and soon to be one of the most iconic ending scenes in recent horror.

The Transformers The Movie (1986)
Pure unfiltered autism derived from only the freshest of natural childlike wonder.
The only thing holding this back for me is not having much of a plot and the movie being constant stimulation that can make it difficult to follow and ultimately exhausting.

My Hero Academia Season 6
The tone change worked way better than I was expecting and had me audibly gasping at points of the story. The handling of Deku's "vigilante" arc was weird but still entertaining. Some glaring pacing issues but otherwise one of the best seasons of the series so far!

Palm Springs
Solid time loop movie that fuses genres and does more than enough to set itself apart from similar stories. Great performances from the tight cast of main characters and Andy Samberg provides plenty of hilarity to contrast with Cristin Milioti's stark presence.

Sinister
This movie does none of what it's trying to do well and ends up being a whole lot of nothing with a decent ending that it didn't earn. On top of the tension that leads nowhere constantly edging you, the dialogue is laughably bad.
I can't believe that the sequel is somehow worse.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
As crazy as it is that we finally got a GOOD F4 movie this is still lacking. Needed more scenes for Ben especially, and overall there's a lot of missed potential with the characters.
Loved the presentation of Galactus and the overall production values.

Was not expecting Doomsday to only be involved for like 20 minutes but overall a decent animated movie with some really crazy ideas. It's also ridiculously horny???
This is one of those where I genuinely can't tell the difference between Clark and Superman though.

I'm a sucker for cringe musicals with insane production values and if you showed this to 12 year old me it would've been so over for me.
Catchy songs, stellar animation, basically this generation's Frozen. My only issue is this really should have been a series instead.

Superman (2025)

What this film did best was nail what makes Superman a hero and zeroed in on the truly human and compassionate aspects of the character. It's hard to find much wrong with this kickoff and I firmly believe DC is in the right hands.

Crazy movie that amazes with shots of cyberpunk landscapes then spits philosophy for 10 minutes, rinse and repeat.
Would get a higher score if the film wasn't more concerned with vibes and immersion than its narrative. Long still frames are just not my cup of tea.

This spinoff is better than most of the original series by far!
Striking art style, down to earth fleshed out characters, and doesn't rely on just beating up villains to tell a good story. Only loses points for being a setup season and an anticlimactic ending.
