28 Years Later Review – A Bleak, Brutal Return to Rage-Fueled Zombies

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland return with 28 Years Later, a bleak and self-contained zombie movie that revives the rage virus in all the right ways. It may not blow everyone away, but it’s the kind of infection story we’ve been waiting for.

Elio Review – Captures That Pixar Wonder, but Loses the Focus

I liked Elio. It’s good Pixar that does what it needs to do, but it’s not hitting those top-tier heights we know the studio can reach. My review on why this enjoyable space adventure gets scattered trying to handle too many ideas at once.

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

Life of Chuck is easily one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Mike Flanagan’s reverse-timeline Stephen King adaptation isn’t horror; it’s a charming, hopeful story about dreams and living in your imagination. With standout performances from Mark Hamill, Tom Hiddleston, and Jacob Tremblay, this is our generation’s Truman Show. While the unconventional structure won’t be for everyone, it’s the kind of movie that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Friendship Review – Secondhand Embarrassment Core

Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd star in Friendship from A24, a movie packed with secondhand embarrassment and that classic Tim Robinson comedic style. Is it a masterpiece of awkward or just plain hard to watch? Read my full review for the breakdown.

Lilo and Stitch (2025) Review – A Surprisingly Charming Disney Remake

Disney’s 2025 live-action Lilo and Stitch remake surprisingly delivers! My 3.5/5 review covers its standout Lilo, heartfelt “ohana” theme, humor, and where it falters.
