The Life of Chuck is like one of those films you watch when you’re already thinking about your childhood, or your own mortality. It might frustrate you, but it might also break your heart in a good way.

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.
Freaky Tales doesn’t pretend to be high art, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s a rowdy, stylish, and sometimes goofy celebration of rebellion, music, and standing up to assholes.
Kapkapiii isn’t a film you analyze too much. It’s a film you watch when you don’t want to think, and just want some cheap and stupid comedy that raises a chuckle now and again.
Predator: Killer of Killers is smart without being smug, brutal without being empty, and surprisingly emotional for a franchise that once featured a handshake with the force of a small earthquake.
Thunderbolts is exactly the kind of Marvel movie I’ve been waiting for since Endgame. It’s honest about the state of the MCU, takes risks by focusing on flawed characters, and manages to be both funny and emotionally engaging.
I went into watching Until Dawn with hope. Not high hopes, mind you. Just regular, middle-of-the-road hopes – the kind of hope you reserve for a video game movie that might actually be fun, if not necessarily good.
And for about ten minutes, I was fine….
Fear Street: Prom Queen is a film that feels like it’s borrowing heavily from other 80s teen horror staples without really bringing its own voice.
If you love the original Lilo & Stitch or have kids who adore the character, you’ll find plenty to enjoy here. It’s heartfelt, funny, and a visually appealing film.
This film is for fans who want closure, big spectacles, and a touch of philosophy. It’s a film that tries really hard, and that effort shows.
Bring Her Back is not perfect, but it’s bold, weird, and it’ll probably haunt me longer than most “better” horror films. And in a genre that spits out forgettable jump-scare-fests like clockwork, that’s saying something.
This film is best suited for people who enjoy staring into mirrors and pondering the nature of their own reflection. Or people who think quoting their own song lyrics at themselves counts as therapy. For everyone else, especially if you’re just looking for a good story or an emotional ride, avoid.
If you’re here for the kill creativity, Final Destination: Bloodlines won’t disappoint you, with a brilliant opening sequence.
Sinners is a film that takes a lot of risks, it trusts its audience, and delivers something that sticks with you. It doesn’t wrap everything up in a neat little bow. It doesn’t tell you what to think. It just lays everything out and says, “This is the world. Now what?”
For anyone who’s a fan of animated films, Chinese mythology, or just loves a good action flick, Ne Zha 2 is most certainly worth the watch. It’s a bold, colorful adventure that may not be perfect, but damn, is it a lot of fun.
