  I enjoyed Superman (2025), even though there were some definite flaws with the film. Still, I thought it was good start to the new soft-rebooted DC cinematic universe. Now, we have the next entry with Supergirl which was based on the phenomenal comic ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" by Tom King which I adore. Is this another step forward for the DCU or a sad step back? Let’s talk about the new actress to play Supergirl, Milly Alcock. I think she does a great job as she is incredibly fun and charismatic as Supergirl. She also really delivers on the more jaded, pained and the slightly quirky nature to the character. There are some emotional moments concerning her past and Milly gives a strong performance that really sells it. The surprise stand-out though is Jason Momoa as Lobo. People have been fan casting Momoa as Lobo for years, including the actor himself. I can safely say that he is absolutely terrific! He is perfect casting and steals every scene he is in by emb...

  When Toy Story 5 was announced, I was very concerned. The first three films are easily one of the best trilogy out there with a beautiful and satisfying ending in the 3rd film. The 4th film, while not as good as the original three, it did still have a strong and emotional ending that felt like a nice wrap up for the whole series. Yet, here we are with a 5th entry that threatens to damage the whole poignant ending. Is this a necessary entry or is this a story not worth telling? What this new entry tackles is something incredibly relatable to our current times. What if kids stop believing in playing with toys and started being more interested in tech? It’s an interesting dilemma and is something that the director, Andrew Stanton, takes a genuine deep dive into. The film doesn’t just portray the new tech, Lilypad, as a straight-up villain and there is a layered exploration of toys and tech. At the heart of this new story is Jessie. She struggles with what feels like h...

  Legendary director, Steven Spielberg, returns with another foray into sci-fi thriller! He also collaborates again with legendary composer John Williams, writer David Koepp and cinematographer Janusz Kamiński. Was Disclosure Day a recipe for success or did it fall short? The thing that will stick with you after the film ends is how phenomenal Emily Blunt’s performance was. She does a downright amazing job in illustrating her character’s struggle with the weird things occurring to her. She steals every scene she is in by giving an emotional and empathetic performance that is genuinely breathtaking. There is a reason many are saying this is one of career best performance. Colman Domingo gives a stand-out performance too, despite his significantly smaller role. There is one scene where he gives a strong and powerful performance, that I wish we got more on his character. The rest of the cast also do a great job with special mention to Josh O'Connor and Colin Firth who a...

  Sadly, it is a bit of step-down from the first film. It’s got some pacing issues, it’s a bit too long, the melodrama with the sister isn’t that interesting and the 3rd act is not as strong. However, you still get funny moments with some enjoyable gore and violence. Samara is great and the supporting cast is enjoyable enough. Plus Samara Weaving in a black Wedding Dress just does something for me

  Ready or Not is an excellent dark comedy thriller about a Satanic rich family hunting down Samara Weaving! It has funny moments with excentric characters that is balanced out by the gore and violence. The entire cast does a great job with an awesome main lead performance from Samara. It’s just a fun entertaining movie! Plus Samara Weaving in a Wedding Dress in a pair of Converse just does something for me

  The Mandalorian and Grogu is a serviceable popcorn flick. The problem is that this is a Star Wars film. Being just a serviceable film is just not what Star Wars is. Even the most controversial or even critically considered bad Star Wars film, are still memorable and cinematic. Nothing remotely important or interesting happens in this film. If you want 4-5 good episodes of the Mandalorian show then this movie is basically that. For Star Wars though, this isn’t the way.
