57) FRANKENSTEIN (2025)

Oh, my favorite version now. Just in love with everything about it - the costumes, the sets, the music, the performances, all of it. Much has been said about Jacob's eyes and it's true; his Creature will break my heart 'til the end of time.

56) DRACULA: A LOVE TALE

Whenever a new version of this story comes out I just have to check it out. This is completely forgettable, though, I'm afraid; a sad knockoff of Coppola's version. Cool movie poster, though.

55) LILITH FAIR: BUILDING A MYSTERY

Loved this. I live halfway around the world and was just a teenager when this music fest was happening. But I'd heard of it back then and already knew it was special; I was a fan of a lot of the women involved. Lightning in a bottle stuff.

54) THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10

A murder mystery on a billionaire's yacht, it's gripping enough to keep you interested and theorizing like any good one in the genre. It's alright.

53) CAUGHT STEALING

I relate to the main character's endless bad luck, gaah. Cute cat in the movie, though!

52) FREAKIER FRIDAY

Watched this purely for Manny Jacinto and was not disappointed (I had seen the 1st movie before, so I wasn't totally clueless going in). He was sweet and charming as the leading man - with a British accent, too! Just gorgeous.

51) KAIJU NO. 8 (SEASONS 1 & 2)

Is... Is that it, they're really ending the 2nd season with that cliffhanger?! How long 'til we get to see that showdown? Aaahhh 😩

50) THUNDERBOLTS*

This unexpectedly made me cry, though! It was the way it was really about facing your darkness and that you don't have to do it alone that struck a chord. You don't really see that in movies like these; winning a fight with love.

*joins the Bob group hug*

49) THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS

Watching the MCU these days feels more like a chore to me; you do it just to keep up. So I don't really feel strongly about this one either way; it's okay. Like, yeah, that's the Fantastic Four (and Franklin), cool. 👍

48) ALICE IN BORDERLAND (SEASON 3)

Similarities with SQUID GAME's final season aside (the AIB manga did them first, according to manga readers), I always found this show more a rumination on life and death, while SG is more a commentary on society's economic divide. Both are deep in different ways.

47) ADOLESCENCE

Oh this was heartbreaking and devastating to watch. But brilliantly acted by the cast; those Emmys were deserved. That episode with the therapist, oof. Tense, chilling, and ultimately sad. This made me scared of - and for - kids these days even more.

46) DANDADAN (SEASON 2)

Loved it, though I thought S1 was better. New characters have been introduced who I'm sure will end up part of the ridiculous but sweet found family, my fave being Evil Eye. The Hayashi band was also a highlight for me, I hope these dudes return.
October 4, 2025 at 5:12 PM
45) WEAPONS

Creepy, mystery-horror fun. Been a while since I've seen Amy Madigan in movies and she was fantastic in this, properly scary!

44) WINTER SPRING SUMMER OR FALL

Speaking of WEDNESDAY, if you shipped Xavier and Wednesday in the 1st season like I did, this movie is a must-watch. It's the teen romance AU made specifically for us, and Jenna and Percy have chemistry for days.

43) WEDNESDAY (SEASON 2)

Yeah that was fun! Wednesday's cool. Love that twist on Thing's backstory.

42) 7TH TIME LOOP: THE VILLAINESS ENJOYS A CAREFREE LIFE MARRIED TO HER WORST ENEMY!

That title is too long and confusing; the 'villainess' is actually the heroine, unless I'm missing an explanation? Anyway, enemies-to-lovers stories will always be hot and this is no exception.
September 6, 2025 at 5:01 PM
41) FREAKY TALES

Cool and slightly weird, this was a fun watch and has that cult classic potential. And I swear Pedro Pascal is in EVERYTHING because I didn't even know he'd be in this, too! Not complaining, mind, just find it amusing.
September 6, 2025 at 4:07 PM
39) THE BEAR (SEASON 4)

Stressful, touching, and good as ever. Not sure I like the main character's decision in the end, but we'll see. Bring on Season 5.

38) THE SANDMAN (SEASON 2)

My hurt and disappointment in the creator of these stories aside, this was a good adaptation. I'm sad we'll never get to see this wonderful cast again.

This one in particular 👇 I adored. She embodied THE Manic Pixie Dream Girl perfectly.

OMG Vecna went to a Stray Kids concert! Well I always thought Jamie was cool. 😌🥰 Even met Felix aaahhh. 😍

37) SUPERMAN (2025)

I loved it! I'm a GA member and not really a hardcore fan, but I saw and loved the Christopher Reeve movies as a kid. This bright-colored, hopeful new one is the Superman (and Lois) I know; I feel that James Gunn nailed the heart and soul of these characters.
July 19, 2025 at 5:20 PM
36) POKER FACE (SEASON 2)

Fun as usual. This is a comfort show for me, it just kinda has that feel. All the episodes are great, but " Sloppy Joseph" and "The Sleazy Georgian" are probably my faves.
July 19, 2025 at 5:01 PM
35) MY HAPPY MARRIAGE (OVA and SEASON 2)

This is really just an okay show, but I like the two main characters and their soft, sweet romance, so I keep watching.
July 12, 2025 at 4:41 AM
34) NINE PUZZLES

Watched this right after KARMA and was pretty much murder mystery genre-d out. 😆 It's good, though; wouldn't mind a 2nd season as that ending implies/hopes for. But it might get old fast if the killer also has puzzle pieces as their 'signature'?
July 12, 2025 at 4:29 AM
33) SQUID GAME (FINAL SEASON)

Oh the sadness, the heartbreak. 😩 And then BAM, huge Hollywood star cameo. Took me out a bit with the randomness. 🥲
