“Minions & Monsters (2026) Minions & Monsters was surprisingly engaging. I went into it with pretty low expectations, especially because I wasn't a fan of some of the more recent Despicable Me movies. Despicable Me 4 in particular left me fairly disappointed, so I wasn't expecting much from this. To my surprise, I was invested throughout most of the movie. A lot of the jokes actually landed, and while the plot is completely all over the place and the script is ironically undecipherable at times, the movie knows exactly what it is. It's clearly not trying to be taken too seriously, and that works in its favor. What surprised me the most was how culturally relevant it felt. Beneath all the chaos, it clearly plays like a metaphor for the direction the creative industry is heading. With AI art becoming more common and creativity becoming increasingly automated across industries like YouTube and Hollywood, the movie unexpectedly reminded me of what art actually is. It made me appreciate how much effort, passion, and vision go into creating something meaningful, and that's not a takeaway I ever expected to get from a Minions movie. Obviously, it's hard to rate a movie like this objectively. It's nowhere near the level of something like WALL-E or Up, but I don't think it was trying to be. For what it is, it's a fun movie that left me pleasantly surprised and gave me a lot more to think about than I expected. Rating: 7/10”

“Supergirl (2026) Supergirl is honestly a hard movie to review. It has some really cool moments and ideas, but it also has some pretty obvious flaws that stop it from coming together as a whole. Milly Alcock is easily one of the biggest highlights. She brings a lot of charisma to the role and feels like a genuinely fresh take on Supergirl. Jason Momoa is also exactly what you’d expect as Lobo. He’s entertaining every time he’s on screen, although it does feel like the character could’ve benefited from more screen time and better development. There are a handful of moments that really work. The destruction of Krypton is handled well, a few of the emotional scenes actually land, and some of the cinematography is surprisingly strong. The space sequences especially stood out, and Superman is engaging whenever he appears. Unfortunately, the movie really struggles with pacing and the script. It feels all over the place, and some scenes are genuinely hard to watch. The third act is probably the weakest part of the film, especially the final fight scene. I won’t go into spoilers, but if you’ve seen the movie, you probably know exactly what I’m talking about. The CGI is also pretty rough at times, especially during the third act. It almost feels like the movie intentionally stages a lot of the action at night to help hide some of the visual effects, but even then it’s hard not to notice. The villain is another weak point. They’re generic, forgettable, and honestly I’ve already forgotten most of what they did. Overall, Supergirl has enough cool moments, strong performances, and interesting ideas to make it enjoyable, but it never really comes together into a consistently great movie. There’s definitely something good in here…it just feels buried under messy pacing, an uneven script, and some rough visual effects. Rating: 6/10”

“Backrooms has one of the most interesting atmospheres of any horror movie I’ve seen in a long time, which honestly wasn’t surprising going in. The set design is absolutely incredible, the acting is strong, the visuals and camera work are great, and the dialogue is handled well. From a technical standpoint, there’s a lot to like here. The first act had me completely hooked. The atmosphere is unsettling, the mystery is compelling, and the movie does a great job pulling you into its world. The final scene is also pretty awesome and ends the film on a strong note. With that being said, it really feels like something is missing. I can’t even fully explain what that missing piece is, but somewhere along the way the movie turns into a directionless wandering through the halls. There are also multiple plot jumps that happen throughout the film that feel overly convoluted and are never explained particularly well. The movie also tries to lean into psychological thriller and psychological body horror elements, but it never feels like it fully commits to either. There are glimpses of something really great there, but it doesn’t quite reach the level that it feels capable of. Overall, Backrooms is still a solid horror film. Despite being fairly slow-paced, it never feels overly dragged out, and the atmosphere alone makes it worth watching. It’s clear what the filmmakers were trying to accomplish, and a lot of it works. I just can’t shake the feeling that there was an even better movie hiding somewhere beneath the surface. Rating: 7/10”

“Masters of the Universe had a few standout moments that were genuinely impressive. The fight choreography was surprisingly strong in certain scenes, and the musical score ended up being way more engaging than expected. Whenever the movie leaned into the action and spectacle, it was at its best. Skeletor was easily the highlight of the entire film. Every time he was on screen, the movie got better. Nicholas Galitzine also does a great job and gives a solid performance throughout. That being said, the script is kind of all over the place, and the pacing can be pretty messy at times. Some parts move too quickly while others drag, making the movie feel a little uneven from start to finish. The humor was probably my biggest issue. Some of the jokes were genuinely cringe. It felt like the movie was leaning into peak MCU humor at times and not in a good way. One thing that also stood out was how much the movie pushed themes of traditional masculinity. After years of modern Hollywood movies moving away from that kind of messaging, it gave me whiplash. Whether that's positive or negative will probably depend on the viewer, but it was definitely noticeable. It is He-Man after all. Overall, Masters of the Universe is pretty much exactly what you'd expect. It's a fun time if you don't take it too seriously, and there are enough good action scenes and strong performances to keep it entertaining. It's not doing anything revolutionary, but it's enjoyable for what it is.”

“Scary Movie is basically the same movie as the previous entries, except this one is a little more aware that it's repeating the same formula. The plot is obviously ridiculous, but that's not really what matters here. Nobody watches a Scary Movie film expecting a great story. The only thing that matters is whether the jokes are actually funny. To be honest, most of them weren't. There were definitely some jokes that got laughs out of me, and a few moments genuinely surprised me. The John Wick parody was pretty fun, and the K-pop Demon Hunters parody was handled better than I expected. Those were probably the standout moments of the movie. The problem is that for every joke that landed, there were just as many that completely missed. A lot of the humor either felt soulless or just didn't do anything for me. Since comedy is basically the entire point of these movies, that's a pretty big issue. Overall, this felt about as mediocre as most of the franchise. There are a few good moments and a handful of laughs, but nothing that really stands out compared to the other films. It's not terrible, and it definitely shouldn't be taken seriously, but it's also not particularly memorable. Rating: 5/10”

“The Furious is exactly the kind of movie that works best when it's not taken too seriously. The plot is predictable, the writing is predictable, and pretty much every character falls into familiar tropes, but none of that really matters because the movie knows exactly what it's trying to be. At its core, it's a classic kung fu action film, something that feels surprisingly rare these days. The first 30 minutes had me a little worried. The opening fight scene relies heavily on CGI, and some of the choreography felt rough compared to what came later. Thankfully, once the film gets past that initial hurdle, everything becomes much more grounded, and the fight choreography absolutely shines. The action is easily the movie's biggest strength, and it's consistently entertaining from that point forward. The third act is completely insane in the best possible way. The movie embraces its chaos and never really slows down, delivering exactly the kind of over-the-top martial arts spectacle that fans of the genre are looking for. It's unrealistic, ridiculous at times, and all over the place, but that's part of the appeal. There are some technical issues that hold it back. The audio dubbing can feel noticeably off throughout the film, and there are moments where it's obvious certain lines were recorded or altered in post-production. It's not enough to ruin the experience, but it can be distracting. Overall, The Furious is simply a lot of fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the audience. Anyone looking for a deep story will probably be disappointed, but anyone looking for great martial arts action and a wildly entertaining third act will likely have a good time. Rating: 7/10”

“Disclosure Day has a few cool moments, but overall it ends up feeling extremely flat. The film never fully comes together, and the disconnect between the first two acts and the final act creates a noticeably uneven experience. The tone feels all over the place, almost like the movie can't decide what kind of story it wants to tell. The biggest positive is the reveal near the end. It's easily the most memorable part of the film and provides a payoff that much of the story had been building toward. There are a handful of other interesting moments throughout, but the ending reveal is far and away the highlight. Unfortunately, a lot of the movie struggles to reach that same level. The acting is a weak point, particularly from the male protagonist, and the script falls into a lot of predictable territory. Many plot developments feel obvious, and the story rarely moves in an unexpected direction. Disclosure Day attempts to create intrigue by intentionally withholding information and allowing the audience to fill in the gaps, but the material that is actually presented never feels intelligent enough to support that approach. As a result, the missing context comes across as underdeveloped rather than thought-provoking. The film's depiction of extraterrestrials is also surprisingly odd. The visual design never quite works and often feels more distracting than compelling. At the end of the day, Disclosure Day feels like a much weaker version of Arrival. "Arrival from Temu" is probably the simplest way to describe it. The film borrows familiar ideas and attempts to build an intelligent sci-fi mystery, but the execution never reaches the level of its inspirations. A strong reveal and a few interesting moments keep it from being completely forgettable, but they're not enough to elevate the rest of the experience. Rating: 5/10”

“Primate is an original horror story that follows a group of friends who visit the protagonist, Lucy, at her massive house while her father is away on a trip. Lucy’s family owns a pet chimpanzee that contracts rabies and begins attacking the group staying at the house. It’s meant to show the rawness of animals, especially those infected with rabies. This movie, while generic and small, manages to feel somewhat fresh in an otherwise repetitive and exhausting niche of movies. Although it’s a horror movie, the antagonist being an animal made it feel that much more raw and thrilling. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call Ben, the chimp, the best character in the film. Unfortunately, Primate also has many flaws. While it’s enjoyable, it’s still the type of horror that works on the basis of forcing its characters to make completely illogical decisions. Even then, one scene in particular stands out, set in a bedroom with the chimpanzee and a boy who comes over later in the film. Without revealing too much, this scene is chilling yet comical. The acting in this film is decent overall, with Johnny Sequoyah being a solid generic protagonist. Unfortunately, characters like Kate & Erin fall flat due to a generic script and subpar delivery. Overall, Primate is an enjoyable take on a simple horror thriller. It’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect it to be, but that’s not a bad thing at all.”

“Greenland: Migration is a sequel film set half a decade after the majority of the world was wiped out by a comet named Clarke. The film follows John Garrity, alongside his wife Allison and his son Nathan. The family ventures out after their bunker is destroyed, in an attempt to reach the epicenter of Comet Clarke, in the hope that the crater will be a resourceful haven. The film has decent visuals, entertaining CGI, and impressive set pieces. It’s also fast-paced and action-packed from start to finish. Unfortunately, a lot of the action is formulaically placed and feels randomly inserted to create surface-level conflicts and build stakes. Regardless, the film works for what it is. Morena Baccarin demonstrates strong emotional range and depth in her role, bringing a genuine presence to the film. In contrast, the child character, while positioned as part of the core family dynamic, receives minimal development and limited screen time. His main narrative function is to introduce challenges for John Garrity, often creating tension through questionable decisions that complicate the protagonist's journey. One of the biggest problems with this film is that it doesn’t give any of the supporting characters time to properly develop and instead randomly kills them off shortly after their introductions for shock value. But once again, it’s still enjoyable for what it is. Overall, Greenland: Migration is an enjoyable post-apocalyptic film that moves fast as long as you turn your brain off. It’s a mediocre story with well-produced visuals.”

“We Bury The Dead is a unique zombie film which takes place on the isolated island of Tasmania. A military experiment goes wrong, causing an explosion which leaves half a million people deceased. The story follows Ava as she joins the body retrieval unit in an attempt to find her husband, who was at the center of the incident at the time. The film is well-shot and well-acted, but unfortunately suffers from an extremely slow pace and directionless plot. The incredibly unique perspective on the “zombies” is a great addition, but the film fails to properly build on the logic of them and what causes them to act the way they do. Daisy Ridley gives a decent performance as Ava, but the other characters feel lacking and empty. There’s also an incredibly long “dining table” sequence, where a soldier eating with Ava speaks in an impossible-to-understand convoluted dialogue. There’s not much else to say about the supporting cast, as this is an extremely small set of people. The action scenes are decent as well, but used extremely sparingly, contradictory to the traditional film in this genre. Ava is a protagonist who consistently makes confident and quick decisions though, which is a breath of fresh air. Overall, We Bury The Dead works for what it is. A forgettable but decent zombie movie that focuses on moral conflict between relationships rather than mindless action.”
