DEN OF THIEVES 2: PANTERA lacks what made the first film so fun by dragging itself down with seriousness. However, it really turns up the heat with Jackson and Butler sharing scenes, especially a nail-biter of a heist. Good action and the tease of another film keep me interested.

HARD TRUTHS' lived-in screenplay is something I'd expect nothing less from Leigh. Never afraid to cut to the core of life & his characters. He doesn't shy away from acknowledging what weighs on us all: pain. Wonderfully contrasting & partnered performances from Baptiste & Austin.

HOW TO MAKE MILLIONS BEFORE GRANDMA DIES is a very likable and emotionally driven drama about reaping rewards through sacrifice and how selfishness drives us to be nice, but moreover, it's about the special moments that come with spending time with our loved ones and finding love.

KNEECAP is a bombastic and stylish biopic that acts as a cathartic FU to the Brits, but outside of its style and what it's trying to say, is it really that strong of a political statement?

BETTER MAN is completely mental and the best (traditional) biopic of 2024. Michael Gracey's directing chops are what make this film as great as it is with ludicrously well-directed musical numbers & incredible CGI. Don't be deceived by the gimmick, you won't notice it by the end.

WALLACE & GROMIT: A VENGEANCE MOST FOWL is my first 2025 release, and it's going to be hard for another to top how much it kept me grinning from ear to ear. Cheeky humor and some great action and adds another list of reasons why Feathers McGraw is one of cinema's best villains.

I think DAHOMEY has some really great moments, but as a whole, I don't think it works as well as it should because of its length. It doesn't have enough time to expound upon its ideas and imagery to exhibit the power of taking back one's culture back from colonialism.

I refuse to post my personal awards until I have seen everything I want to see. But I will be posting my top films soon with asterisks attached to let people know that it's not complete.

A DIFFERENT MAN is an interesting and thought-provoking dark comedy that gets kinda bonkers and we're all the better for it. Reinsve is hilariously odd, Pearson lights up the screen with his charm & charisma and Stan gives a career best performance filled with quiet jealousy.

A COMPLETE UNKNOWN is a musical biopic done right and I'm happy it was James Mangold behind the helm. Highly entertaining and moved like a breeze. It has one major issue: while everyone in the cast was just being, Chalamet was trying. It also falls short for clinging to clichés.

NOSFERATU had me under its spell & marveling at Eggers' dedication to the craft. A technical wonder filled with dark shadows and evil, a twisted & tragic fairy tale unfolded before our eyes. High praise for Hoult & Skarsgard & the highest of praises for Rose-Depp. Eggers has done it again!

BABYGIRL is a really fun game of power dynamics that is hosts a collection of electric performances across the board with Kidman doing some of her most bold and mesmerizing work in years. Erotic and a really sharp screenplay makes it an exciting time at the movies.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 is definitely the best in the franchise so far. Some quality action scenesand good performances all around (Reeves is perfect for Shadow) still succumb to the drawbacks of franchise's childish tone and writing. A nice movie for families this holiday season.

Even the fun bloody action cannot save the whimpering mess that is KRAVEN THE HUNTER. J.C Chandor is wasted. This cast. Wasted. One of the worst scripts of the year. Terrible VFX and editing. Sony's Villainverse has finally fizzled out. What a shame.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM is surprisingly basic for the series that set the standard for epic fantasy filmmaking. It has its epic action set pieces, gorgeous animation & score, but the characters & plot feel simple or one note. Did this need to be animated?
