Everything I watched from January 1, 2026 – January 31, 2026. NEW SHIT Send Help My buddy and I are both Sam Raimi fans, so we caught this on our Saturday bro date. Basically, Send Help is about a smart, capable, but extremely awkward woman named Linda who works a corporate job where everyone thinks she’s eitherContinue reading “Shit I Watched in January: Send Help, House Party, The Bone Temple & More”

10 Best Films of the Year
Wow, I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but this wasn’t a great year for film. We got one destined-to-be-a-classic masterpiece, and then a whole bunch of very good 4/5-star movies. My biggest sadness this year came from not being able to see Sirāt, which, based on everything I’ve heard, might have bridged the gap between theContinue reading “10 Best Films of the Year”
Top 20 Best Film Performances of 2025
according to me. While 2025 has not exactly been a great year for movies, it has been one of the strongest years for performances that I can remember in quite some time. Performances that might have landed comfortably in the sixth, seventh, eighth, or even ninth spot this year would have easily topped lists inContinue reading “Top 20 Best Film Performances of 2025”
The Long Walk and Spinal Tap 2 Reviews
A winner and a not winner. The Long Walk The Long Walk messed me up. Not because it’s hitting some hot-button political topic of the moment, but because it doesn’t need to. It’s always been relevant. Desperation makes people do really fucked up shit. Like voluntarily signing up for a dystopian death march where you getContinue reading “The Long Walk and Spinal Tap 2 Reviews”
The Conjuring 4, Caught Stealing, & Splitsville – 2025 Movie Reviews
One unexpected hero this week. The Conjuring 4: Last Rites Objectively, The Conjuring 4 is not the worst film of the year, but I don’t give a shit. I absolutely despise it. I loathe every creatively bankrupt, flatly shot frame of this offensively overlong, self-important-to-the-point-of-delusional, and completely, 100% not scary horror franchise sequel. Apparently, it’sContinue reading “The Conjuring 4, Caught Stealing, & Splitsville – 2025 Movie Reviews”
Top 10 Movies of the Year (so far)
As we somersault into the bloated chaos of Oscar Season, that four-month movie dump from September to December with stragglers in January and February if you’re not in NY or LA (sorry, I’m not), here’s my Top 10 films of the year so far. I’ve seen 42 new releases, some really good, some absolute dogContinue reading “Top 10 Movies of the Year (so far)”
2025 Movie Reviews: Superman and Jurassic World: Rebirth
Big summer movies. Superman I’m not really a Superman guy. Not that I dislike him or anything, I just never watched the movies growing up. So, in preparation for Superman (2025), I went back and watched them all. The verdict? A rollercoaster of “pretty good” to “how the fuck is Richard Pryor not funny?!” with nothing thatContinue reading “2025 Movie Reviews: Superman and Jurassic World: Rebirth”
2025 Movie Reviews: M3GAN 2.0 and The Women in the Yard
Nothing good this week. M3GAN 2.0 Full disclosure: I love M3GAN. Not the movie, the character. I love her stupid little dances. I love her bratty little voice, her psychotic programming, the way she inflects certain words, etc. Besides Chucky and Tiffany, she’s probably the most entertaining murderous doll character out there. So it deeplyContinue reading “2025 Movie Reviews: M3GAN 2.0 and The Women in the Yard”
2025 Movie Reviews: 28 Years Later & The Life of Chuck
A good one and a good-ish one in a very disappointing year so far for cinema. 28 Years Later Last weekend I was up north at my parents’ cabin, halfway through a bottle of something, standing on their patio overlooking a gorgeous serene lake with a couple industry-adjacent buddies (read: an agency creative and aContinue reading “2025 Movie Reviews: 28 Years Later & The Life of Chuck”
2024 Movie Reviews: Heretic / Juror #2 / It’s What’s Inside / Blink Twice / My Old Ass / Red Rooms
One clear winner this week, though two others are definitely worth your time. Heretic Heretic is the prototypical 2024 horror movie – a very straightforward psychological thriller with a simple premise that doesn’t overreach until the overly ambitious and inevitably unsatisfying conclusion. It doesn’t break new ground but it doesn’t fuck up the basics either.Continue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: Heretic / Juror #2 / It’s What’s Inside / Blink Twice / My Old Ass / Red Rooms”
