Weapons Review – In Cregger We Trust
Director Zach Cregger trades the frantic energy of Barbarian for something more sinister in his new movie, Weapons. It’s a patient and deeply unsettling horror-mystery built on a quiet dread and flawless ensemble cast. Check out my full review to see why its atmosphere is more terrifying than any jump scare.
Eddington Review – Ari Aster’s Western about Everything and Nothing
Ari Aster’s Eddington aims for pandemic parable meets western fable, but despite the craft, it lands with more indifference than impact.
Superman Review – James Gunn’s Love Letter to the Last Son of Krypton
James Gunn’s Superman (2025) is a bold, heartfelt reboot that reclaims the Man of Steel with sincerity, sharp character work, and David Corenswet’s instantly iconic take on Clark Kent.
Jurassic World: Rebirth Review – Making Me Feel Like a Kid Again
Jurassic World: Rebirth delivers heart, suspense, and awe. Director Gareth Edwards brings the franchise back to its roots with emotional and cinematic roots. Check out my review to see why I think this is the most Jurassic the series has felt since 1993.

Dangerous Animals Review – Sharp Concept, Dull Bite
Jai Courtney delivers a compelling performance as a shark-obsessed serial killer in Dangerous Animals, but this thriller’s promising premise gets lost in repetitive pacing and missed opportunities. While visually striking with strong atmosphere, the movie never fully commits to its unique concept.
Ballerina Review – Ana de Armas Deserved Better
Ana de Armas delivers a phenomenal performance in Ballerina, but unnecessary John Wick interference and underdeveloped villains prevent this action spinoff from reaching its full potential. Despite rough CGI and thin plotting, de Armas proves she can carry an action franchise on her own merit.
Life of Chuck Review – A Story Containing Multitudes
