I’ve always had a thing for the movies. Some of my earliest memories are connected to the silver screen. I can vividly remember watching E.T. for its theatrical re-release in the early nineties and having my mind blown. As I got older, I saw everything I could. Genre didn’t matter, critic score didn’t matter (I’ve gotten pickier these days); if I had $6.50—yes kids, and ice cream was a nickel—I was going to the movies.

Disclosure Day: A Nostalgic Return to Spielberg’s Little Grey Men
The film has heart, action, and a premise that should feel cheesy, but somehow isn't. It's been almost fifty years since Stephen Spielberg released Close Encounters of the Third Kind and somehow, over the intervening years, that DNA has not been lost.
Timothée Chalamet Will Continue Playing Sh**heads Until He Gets An Oscar
One thing is very clear, Timothée Chalamet wants that little gold statue, and he’s going to keep playing pieces of sh** until we give it to him. Look, we didn't give him the Oscar this year (for good reason, Michael B. Jordan ruled in Sinners), and he's surely going to go full Leo in The Revenant. I'm here to see where he goes after Sci-fi Sand Movie Part 3.
Alex Garland Isn’t Interested in Making a 28 Days Later Sequel
Alex Garland isn't interested in making a 28 Days Later sequel, but what he did make is far more interesting.
28 Years Later Review – A Surreal Evolution of Zombie Formula
28 Years Later is deeply weird—in the best way possible. While it’s still a zombie movie at its core, it also doubles as a surrealist meditation on death, managing to hit hard emotionally. Danny Boyle sheds some of the tension and horror that defined earlier entries in the franchise, and in doing so, creates something new.
Friendship Review – Mustaches, Mayhem, and Making Friends in the Worst Way
Friendship (2025) feels like an extended play of Tim Robinson’s I Think You Should Leave Half the jokes are laugh-out-loud funny, while the other half made me want to see just how far I could press into my theater seat.
Sinners Review – Cousins, Gothic Vibes, and Spiritual Steel Guitar
Sinners (2025) is an engrossing mix of Southern gothic horror, wonderful music, and incredible cinematography. Directed by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed) and starring Miles Caton and Michael B. Jordan, it evolves the formula from From Dusk Till Dawn into a captivating and surprising fever dream.
Conclave Review – These Scheming Cardinals are Spicy
How does a political thriller about corrupt priests stay under the 13 age ate? Simple, it handles difficult issues with the quiet austerity of a priest in the Vatican.
Civil War – A Brief Review
In Civil War, Garland tells an apocalyptic tale that feels closer to reality than anything he’s made to date. It’s harrowing, it’s haunting, and it’s sobering, but it’s the moments of silence between the action that make this film memorable.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Review
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire drops the adversarial ‘versus’ of the previous film in the series, and unfortunately loses some of the fun conflict with it.
