I loved a lot about #StrangerThings 5 Vol. 1 narratively and performance wise, but there’s room tor improvement as the series heads toward its final four episodes. My review is up now!
Vol. 1 is clearly just the beginning for this final season! 🤩

Stranger Things 5 Vol 1 Review: A Decent Start
There’s so much to like about Stranger Things 5 Vol 1 – including a superb, chilling story and fabulous performances – but this batch isn’t perfect.

#ILoveLA is so much fun and perfectly encapsulates the chaos of your late twenties. Rachel Sennott and this cast have created characters you’ll fall in love with and see yourselves in. My review of Season 1 is up now!
Rachel Sennott leads an incredible cast in this "utterly chaotic delight," out November 2 on HBO Max! 🤩

#TheHandThatRocksTheCradle is awful despite Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead giving this poor script better performances than it deserves. My review is up now on Loud and Clear!
Not even Maika Monroe & Mary Elizabeth Winstead can save "one of 2025’s worst films"! 😕

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) Review
Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are excellent, but The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (2025) fails them with its weaker elements.

#TronAres is an audio and visual feast with an extraordinary soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails, but the story and lead performance don’t live up to their potential. It’s the most conflicting film I’ve seen all year but an alright time. My full review is up now!
Was TRON: ARES worth the wait? Well... It's complicated.

Tron: Ares Review - Fine, but Confounding
Tron: Ares is a visual and audio spectacle with some solid performances, but its story doesn’t fully come together.

This honestly makes me sad. He saved her from Tom Cruise. He wrote "The Fighter" for her.

*Snap, snap* Jenna Ortega leads a terrific ensemble in #Wednesday Season 2 Part 1, which doesn’t always hit the mark story wise, but is still such spooky fun. My review is up now on Loud and Clear!

Jenna Ortega leads a fabulous cast in Wednesday Season 2 Part 1, which dials up the horror but has iffy storytelling.

I really liked I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025). It’s a simple campy slasher with memorable hot characters trying not to die.
