Movie Review - WICKED: FOR GOOD
dcfilmdom.com/2025/11/wick...
A straight continuation of where WICKED: PART I left off in tone, tenor, and form. Musical numbers (save one) may not be as catchy and memorable, but the rest is solid. What a conclusion--well worth the year's wait.
@ofcs.bsky.social
The WICKED: FOR GOOD poster. Elphaba/The Wicked Witch of the West stands atop a dark-hued cliff with green vegetation to the left, while Glinda/The Good Witch of the South stands atop a lighter-hued cliff with purple and pink vegetation to the right. In the middle is the Yellow Brick Road, leading to the city of Oz on top of a distant mountain while Winged Monkeys fly near it.

For me, the NOW YOU SEE ME series is a pleasure--I love the feeling of seeing a good trick. After a meh second film, the franchise comes roaring back with NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T, and I know I'm going to see it at least twice more.

A still from NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T. Four people are standing amid steps, mirrors, and doors placed in disorienting shapes and positions.

After PREY and PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, was it too much to ask that Dan Trachtenberg complete his awesome franchise trifecta with PREDATOR: BADLANDS? Hell, no, it wasn't, and Trachtenberg delivers in bold style.

#Predator #PredatorBadlands #MovieReview
A still frame of PREDATOR: BADLANDS featuring Thia (Elle Fanning) vine-roped to Dek's (Demetrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) back. Thia is a humanoid synthetic; Dek is a young Yautja (also known as the Predator). Why is Thia roped to Dek's back? She doesn't have legs.

Movie Review: BUGONIA
dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/bugo...
Another Yorgos Lanthimos knockout that uses our biases and what we think of as "common knowledge" against us in this dark, absurdist comedy.
@ofcs.bsky.social @focusfeatures.bsky.social #Bugonia
A shot from Yorgos Lanthimos' new film, BUGONIA. Two men in protective suits bend over to observe a woman with a shaved head on a cot.

ICYMI: Black Phone 2
dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/blac...
My misgivings about the first act of the film were blown away by the latter 2/3rds. Read why.
#BlackPhone2 #MovieReview
A still frame from BLACK PHONE 2 showing Mustang (Arianna Rivas) and Ernie (Miguel Mora) trying to hold on to Gwen's (Madeleine McGraw) legs while she's levitating and grabbing her throat. (This is in the real world in the film; however, she's dreaming and we cannot see her attacker.)

Frickin' PSYCHED for this one. Review coming soon!

Movie Review - TRON: ARES
dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/tron...
A thrilling chase film that has some of the best CGI I've seen in years. Also, Jared Leto doesn't ruin this terrific sequel. Also also, it's another movie where Gillian Anderson sports a British accent!
@ofcs.bsky.social #TronAres #MovieReview
A still frame from TRON: ARES. Eve Kim (Greta Lee) stands in focus while Ares (Jared Leto) is out of focus in the foreground. It's got a menacing vibe, especially with the red highlights on Ares' armor glowing, not to mention the fact that Eve's standing on a pier with her back to the water.

Movie Review: GOOD BOY
In US theaters now, UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 10/10. Wherever you are, get on it. Indy's a lovely dog and, surprisingly, a good actor! Here's my review over at DCFilmdom.com:

Saw this last night. As a TRON fan since I was six years old, this was a treat.

Movie Review: ELEANOR THE GREAT
dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/elea...
Wonderful performances--especially from Rita Zohar as a Holocaust survivor--drive this "lie gone completely out of control" movie. Scarlett Johansson's directorial feature debut stays respectful and solemn... with a touch of the impish.
A photo from the film ELEANOR THE GREAT featuring June Squibb, Erin Kellyman, and Chiwetel Ejiofor sitting at a dinner table.

Movie Review: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/one-...
Paul Thomas Anderson's take on an action drama is powerful stuff.
One of 2025's best.
One of PTA's best.
Playing IN VISTAVISION in London, NYC, and LA. Watch it there if you can.
DMV folks: It's playing in 70MM at the AFI Silver.
A photo from the film ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, featuring Perfidia (Teyana Taylor) marching Col. Lockjaw (Sean Penn) at gunpoint through a detention facility while fireworks go off behind them.

Movie Review: HIM
dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/him-...
A brutal movie about what it takes to earn GOAT status that uses disparate cinematic elements to say... everything and nothing. Sound and fury in search of a message about childhood dreams turning into adult nightmares as one strives for greatness.
A publicity still from Justin Tipping's film HIM, featuring Cameron Cade's (Tyriq Withers) face above a purple-pink pool of water that the rest of his body is submerged in.

Movie Review: SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES
dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/spin...
As a musician and a fan of Spinal Tap, this movie made me laugh. It's a different thing than the 1984 original, but it still has the heart that endeared the film AND the band to me.
#SpinalTap @bleeckerstfilms.bsky.social
A still photo from SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES featuring a shot of a crowd (some of whom are holding up signs and mini-Stonehenge replicas) in front of the band Spinal Tap, who are playing on stage with a projected backdrop of a flaming demon skull.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Long Walk
dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/the-...
The third of four filmed Stephen King adaptations to be released this year.
Powerful in its simplicity and its fight for humanity amid dehumanization.
The cast is spectacular.
The parallels to our own lives, even more so.
#TheLongWalk
A still photo from THE LONG WALK featuring several young men walking across a dam bridge.

Movie Review: THE CONJURING: LAST RITES
dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/the-...
Michael Chaves' best of his Conjuring Universe films. Much more enjoyable and solid than THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, Chaves makes more confident choices and does not hold anything back.

Tonight's screening.
I've been a longtime fan of Richard Bachman's novella.
A real treat to see this story bright to life on the big screen.
Review coming soon!

Saw THE CONJURING: LAST RITES last night.
Made a new friend.
Review coming to DCFilmdom.com soon.

Movie Review: CAUGHT STEALING
Darren Aronofsky's adaptation of Charlie Huston's novel (for which Huston wrote the screenplay) is one of those movies that doesn't stop being weird, being a lot, or being terrific.

Movie Review: RELAY
dcfilmdom.com/2025/08/rela...
This low-key thriller cannot contain its undeniable energy. Riz Ahmed and Lily James are absolutely excellent in this, and the script and direction are flawless. One of the best I've seen in 2025.

Movie Review: FREAKIER FRIDAY.
dcfilmdom.com/2025/08/frea...
Does it have its faults? Yes.
Do those faults doom this movie? No.
I had a lot of fun with it. Sometimes, a spectacular vibe *can* help offset negatives. Which, to be honest, were not plentiful in this movie.

Movie Review: THE NAKED GUN
dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/the-...
This is my final review of any Paramount Pictures film, and I'm grateful that it was a good one. (The movie, that is; the review is up to you.) As a longtime fan of the NAKED GUN movies, this one was a gem.

Movie Review: THE BAD GUYS 2
dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/the-...
The voice cast has been kept low-key, relying on authenticity rather than HUGE NAME ACTORS who are wrong for their parts. The story and action are fantastic, but it always comes back to the cast, who absolutely shine.
