28 Years Later is a mixed bag. We certainly have things to like and appreciate, but as I mentioned, the messiness of the film might not bother some, but it bothered me. I wanted to care more, I really did, but it all felt a little bit jarring.
Simon Leasher Film Reviews Posts
If you’re a diehard fan of the original, maybe you’ll get something out of this. But for everyone else, you’re better off just watching the original version again.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show leaves us questioning what “normal” really means and whether conformity is truly a happy ending!
Cutter’s Way is not comfortable, and it’s not upbeat. It just wants to sit next to you and say, “Hey, everything kind of sucks”
The Naked Gun was much better than I expected it to be, where I laughed often, especially in the opening act.
Prom Night is a slow, awkward disco slasher saved by Jamie Lee Curtis’s performance and a seriously ‘80s vibe.
A Nice Indian Boy is a total delight. It’s full of warmth, humor, and honest family drama, and I wish more people were talking about it.
Abraham’s Boys has some decent moments and a strong performance from Welliver, but they were buried under too much slow-moving nothingness.
Thankskilling is trash. Absolute garbage. But the kind of garbage that makes you pause, laugh, and wonder how this got made, and then hit play again.
The Ugly Stepsister is a body horror film that is deeply uncomfortable, weirdly beautiful, and emotionally disturbing in the best possible ways.
I went in prepared to hate this thing, or at least feel absolutely nothing. It stumbles a little at times, and it won’t please everyone. But Superman 2025 is just fun and well-made.
Griff the Invisble is one of those small indie movies that sneaks under your radar and leaves a gentle impression.
Hide and Go Shriek isn’t a good movie by any traditional standard. But there’s a weird charm to it, too.
Friendship is a comedy that actually has something to say about loneliness, masculinity, and the desperate need for connection, but it never gets preachy, it just gets weird.
This isn’t just a new chapter for Superman, it’s a heartfelt revival. Gunn reminds us why the character matters and dares us to believe again.
Lost in Starlight is a calm, sincere little sci-fi love story that respects its characters and the audience. It’s not perfect, but it’s got a kind of gentle honesty I didn’t know I missed until now.
Jurrasic World: Rebirth is not smart, it’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a damn sight better than watching Chris Pratt do his raptor hand thing again.
M3GAN 2.0 is ridiculous, messy, and overstuffed, but it’s also quite sharp, funny, and way more entertaining at times than it had any right to be.
