Predator: Badlands is a decent enough movie but it doesn’t feel like a Predator movie. boxd.it/bHIxgp
A ★★★ review of Predator: Badlands (2025)
It's a decent enough movie but - it doesn't feel like a Predator movie. When the predator, a humanoid alien with its own language, is only facing other aliens (who are all simpler than him) and robots...

I just can’t get into The Black Phone franchise, even though I really want to. A cool mask does not make a good villain. boxd.it/bCJaLh
A ★★½ review of Black Phone 2 (2025)
I really want to understand and like this franchise but I just don’t get it at all. Firstly, it isn’t scary. The Grabber, despite his cool mask, doesn’t really make any sense. Is he a real guy? Is he ...

Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF.

Bring Her Back is unpleasant but also good but also horrific...

I don't think I was ever really scared but this film is filled with dread and misery, so I guess that's something.

A ★★★½ review of Bring Her Back (2025)
A film filled with dread and blood and some great performances from a very young cast. Sally Hawkins is obviously great, as she always is, but I found the plot a bit simple and I expected it to be a l...

V sad news about Ozzy.

My step-dad gave me a copy of the Tribute to Randy Rhoads live album when I was very young and I have always found it captures them both Ozzy and Randy at their chaotic and electric best.

It was only then that I worked backwards and got into Sabbath.

An Icon. Forever.

Yes, late night shows are expensive.

Yes, Paramount needs to save money.

No, this isn't the way to do it and is a terrible look. Stephen's show is more important and vital than it has ever been.

A mind-bogglingly bad decision.
