The Monkey (2025) - Rated 09 Aug 2025
"Evil toy"
Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025) - Rated 07 Aug 2025
"The opening sequence with Stargirl was well done but after that I feel like I’m going insane with the critics talking about what a breath of fresh air or whatever this is; it seems exactly the goddamn same as all the other ones."
Superman (2025) - Rated 02 Aug 2025
"I’m almost totally over the whole superhero thing (this is only the second post-Endgame one I’ve seen in theaters, though I did gradually catch most of the MCUs on Disney Plus / DCEUs on HBO), but my curiosity was piqued. And I’d say I mostly enjoyed it; it was colorful and giddily dorky and had mostly likable takes on the characters. Must be the least we’ve ever seen Superman “in character” as Clark Kent in any version (>5 minutes in the whole movie I think). Fun summer popcorn action tho."
Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) - Rated 01 Aug 2025
"Just "Kung Fu Panda goes on another adventure and fights another villain" - nothing more nothing less"
Opus (2025) - Rated 30 Jul 2025
"Somewhat confused and doesn’t seem to have a clear grasp on what it’s saying (it hits the gas from like 15 to 65 mph in one scene and it’s like wtf) but I guess it’s kind of interesting? - ending had a semi interesting twist to it that inspires a moment’s thought… but some of it leading up to then is a bit cringe / awkward. (Also nice to a see a horror movie with a black lead that didn’t do the slightest hint of the “THE REAL MONSTER IS RACISM” they’ve always had to in the last decade or so)"
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) - Rated 27 Jul 2025
"In all fairness this is better than most of the straight-to-Netflix Sandler movies of the last ten years (damning with faint praise), but it still insists on some "huh, really?" plot ideas (kind of reminded me of Clerks 3 a bit in that regard actually), ENDLESS flashbacks to the first movie, bad acting from various golfers and influencers, etc. Still though I did like Shooter McGavin's role, I was worried from the trailer he would be like some one scene cameo; not the case at all."
My Oni Girl (2024) - Rated 27 Jul 2025
"Not badly made in any way (animation, music, dub voice acting all perfectly good - yes I watch the dub SHUT UP WEEB NERDS) but I feel like the "supernatural girl drags normie teen Japanese high school boy into dreamy world of adventure/monsters/magic" formula has kind of been run a little thin these days; half this movie I was just like yes yes I watched Weather With You also, come up with your own shit lmao"
Pokémon Horizons: The Series (2023) - Rated 26 Jul 2025
"I saw a Youtube video claiming "Pokémon Horizons is actually incredible" so I was ok why not I'll give it a whirl; watched like three episodes. Nothing really stood out to me. In all fairness I'm not the target audience – I'm not only too old for Pokémon, I'm SO too old that I could theoretically have a CHILD OF MY OWN who is at this point too old for Pokémon (but don't because I'm a manchild with a womanchild wife and we're too afraid to disrupt our hedonist lifestyle by becoming parents lmao)"
In the Lost Lands (2025) - Rated 24 Jul 2025
"Holy fucking shit this is one of the worst things I've seen in a long, long time. I'm actually kinda shook. Paul WS Anderson has to be the worst filmmaker who has actually had a steady output of theatrically released films for most of my life. Has to be."
Heads of State (2025) - Rated 20 Jul 2025
"Galactically dumb to be certain, with oft-jaw dropping tonal whiplash, but dumb in a way that mostly appeals to me (someone who likes stuff like 24, Air Force One, James Bond for context). I was like “why is the action in this straight to Amazon movie pretty good” then I saw it was from the director of Nobody lol. Sure as hell compares favorably to Amazon’s similar G20. She’s mid 50s now and I’d still chop off three fingers for a night in a hotel room with Carla Gugino."
