A bored Sydney Sweeney lets Amanda Seyfried totally carry this film.
A ★★★ review of The Housemaid (2025)
Second film of the year.  This movie is not good. In fact, it’s pretty much garbage. But it’s trashy fun garbage…..and I ended up liking it.  I know that doesn’t make sense. Just go in with the mindse...

Needed something light and silly, and this totally worked.
A ★★★ review of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025)
Not the usual type of first movie of the year I would pick….but I had my reasons. Needed something light, something silly, something that wouldn’t make me “think”. And this worked. What can I say? It’...

A ★★★½ review of Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025)
Okay….I pretty much loved Sisu when it came out in 2022. It was one of the first films I saw in the theaters when the pandemic began to settle down. The movie was bloody, gross, and just a lot of fun....

A ★★★★½ review of Hamnet (2025)
Absolutely beautiful.  A somewhat fictional account of the story of the death of William Shakespeare’s son and how it may have inspired one of his greatest works. Pretty much everything about this wor...

A ★★★½ review of Keeper (2025)
I liked this.  Did I understand it? Not really. But there is something about this I liked. The claustrophobia, the feeling of dread, just the creepiness of it all. And it IS creepy.  Just didn’t quite...

Great film.
A ★★★★ review of Frankenstein (2025)
Pretty much loved this. Everything I read said to see it on the big screen so I did and I think it was a wise move.  The cinematography was excellent with splashes of brilliant color. Red (that dress!...

Loved this.
A ★★★★ review of Bugonia (2025)
Loved, loved, loved this.  Such a crazy, bonkers, intense film. It’s totally a Yorgos Lanthimos film. Two cousins abduct a rich and powerful CEO of a medical company. Sounds basic enough.  But throw i...

A ★★★½ review of Dead of Winter (2025)
Emma Thompson is a nice, sweet little old Minnesota widow who just wants to go ice fishing. But something gets in the way of her fishing.  The movie is set in Minnesota (okay, Finland) in its desolate...

Why is this a trilogy of films? Just seems kind of unnecessary.

A ★★½ review of The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025)
I was one of the few (I think) that actually liked the first film of The Strangers trilogy. It was vague, it was creepy, it was violent. Was it a great movie? Absolutely not, but it succeeded in being...

A ★★½ review of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025)
How did this movie fail so miserably? This movie should have been amazing. The trailer looked wonderful and magical. The actual movie? Flat and boring.  Two people (Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie) cr...

My review of The Long Walk.

#LetterboxedFriday
A ★★★★ review of The Long Walk (2025)
Brutal. Absolutely brutal. Kind of went into this blind. And it pretty much disturbed me. Came REAL close to crying at one point.  Set in a dystopian world, a group of young men go on…..well…..a long ...

My review of The Monkey, a campy, gory splatter flick directed by Osgood Perkins, of Longlegs fame.

boxd.it/8UmLLP
A ★★★ review of The Monkey (2025)
This is one odd movie.  I really liked Osgood Perkins’ (son of Anthony) last film, Longlegs. Thought it was dark and creepy and disturbing and just had this aura of dread and fear throughout. I guess ...

Trump Demands Bishop Apologize for Asking for Mercy for the Marginalized

What? The man is asking a Christian bishop to apologize for remarks made in a Christian church service that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. What is wrong with that man child? Wait. Answered my question.
