#ScaryMovie is 90 minutes of film-focused, Family Guy cutaway gags, for better and for worse. While the hit rate on the jokes varied throughout, I couldn’t help but enjoy my time with the movie. I’m happy movies like this are still getting made, even if the quality wasn’t great.
Paul Rudd may not be the best singer, but #PowerBallad still strings a good tune: a charming and heartfelt look at dreams and self-worth with solid performances and hypnotizing direction from John Carney. It’s not quite his best film, but still a fun time at the movies. See it!
#MastersoftheUniverse summarized in five words: we have Marvel at home. While the effects and sound design are immersive and the cast is charming enough, the overtly derivative screenplay and weak characters made the 2+ hour runtime feel much longer. Not bad, but bland as hell.
#TheFurious has the most balls-to-the-wall martial arts choreography I’ve ever seen. What it lacks in a worthwhile story is made up by the kinetic camera movement and committed performances from the ensemble. If you can buy into the film’s logic, you’ll have a hell of a time.
#TheBreadwinner made me chuckle more times than I was expecting, but the extremely dated screenplay and horrific use of product placement made for an underwhelming experience overall. Not a major misfire, but offers very little to the viewer. A movie made 40 years too late
#Backrooms is less of a nonstop thrill ride and more of a meditative look on lost memories and trauma, which I absolutely loved. With dazzling production design and confident writing and direction from Kane Parsons, this is yet another impressive horror debut in 2026. Excellent!
There may not be very many road trip horror movies, but #Passenger still fails to stand out, instead harkening to cheap jump scares, paper-thin characters, and a weak script. While the filmmaking was far from lackluster, it was overtly dull and lacked life and dynamism. It’s meh
