Golden’s back with regrets, alliances, and enough betrayals to make Machiavelli blush. 30 mins of recycled scenes? Sure. But that shootout and the chaos that follows? Polish crime cinema at its wildest. #moviesky #filmsky

Inside Furioza (2025)
Sequels, by design, are inheritances, too often, like any suspect will, they squander the family fortune on wasted violence and reheated melodrama. For a while, Inside Furioza looks set to repeat

Remember when Toxie felt like rummaging through a radioactive dumpster at midnight? Now it’s more like a sanitized tour with a safety waiver. Fun prosthetics, but the anarchy’s MIA. Somebody mop up this nostalgia. #filmsky #moviesky

Few movies show war through a kid’s eyes like this one. It’s brutal, beautiful, raw, haunted me as a child, still does now. Spielberg’s magic is not sentimental here; it’s honest.

Caught Stealing is one of those movies where everything that can go wrong DOES, over and over. Austin Butler suffers so much it’s almost a cartoon. Not deep, but good midnight popcorn entertainment. Cat lovers: your new hero awaits.

“Eden” actually made me feel gross and stressed (in a good way). You can almost taste the sweat and panic. No fake survival heroics here, just people falling apart and paradise turning rotten the second someone gets hungry or reckless.

Fincher’s The Killer is a sleek, darkly funny portrait of a perfectionist hitman unraveling—Fassbender monotones murder tips, and botches his way through a world built to be controlled but never is. Tense, icy, slyly hilarious.

Until Dawn = chaotic time-loop horror that ditches the game’s soul for noisy jump scares and a plot that speeds past consequence. Never boring, never meaningful. Entertaining? Sure! Memorable? About as much as a blackout in a haunted house.

Night Teeth is pure neon popcorn: dumb, stylish fun with zero depth but plenty of cute leads + synthy vibes. Plot’s a mess, Megan Fox cameos for 5 mins, but still had a surprisingly decent time. Perfect for a Friday night when you don’t wanna think.

The creepiest thing about American Sweatshop isn’t the darkness Daisy watches—it’s the suffocating, soul-numbing grind of erasing humanity’s worst, one flagged video at a time. Lili Reinhart is raw, unsettling, & quietly heartbreaking.

Red Sonja (2025): Slightly better than the ’85 mess, but that’s not saying much. Lutz swings for it, but the bland script, limp fights, and embarrassing CGI drag it down. Wasted potential and a sequel tease no one asked for.
