Let’s just get this out there: Michael Jackson is a complicated human. Michael (2026) As a Gen X adult, I grew up with MJ, had all his albums, and recognize him still as THE greatest pop star of all time. His level of fame will never be surpassed anytime soon. However, MJ also has a complicated past. Body dysmorphia, sleepovers with little kids, odd relationships… Those who want to go back and relive those moments from his era, enjoying the music, experiencing the MTV video a

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was a disappointment. Actually, even worse, it was a bore. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Maybe it’s because the first one was a pleasant surprise, but the sequel fell victim to what most sequels do…too much visual, not enough story. Mario and the gang are on a quest to find and help Princess Rosalina, but with a lack of dialogue and too many characters to spread out the thin dialogue, you're find yourself checked out. I guess if you're a Yos

I’ll admit I laughed so hard, I snorted...loudly. Project Hail Mary is a must-see in theaters And Rocky got me. Each time a trailer plays at home or at the theater, I still grin when I see that cute ass rock. It honestly took me by surprise how funny the movie was. I’ll admit I have Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir on my TBR bookshelf, but I didn’t get a chance to read it before the movie. But this movie has me excited to relive it in print as well as back in a theater. From ta

Getting to see Cillian Murphy in that iconic Peaky Blinders suit…is “chef’s kiss.” Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) So, last we saw Tommy Shelby, he was riding off into the countryside to isolate himself and write a book, leaving the fate of the Peaky Blinders up in the air. Abandoned by his father, Duke, played in this movie by Barry Keoghan, takes over the Peaky Blinders, but in an even more nihilistic manner than Tommy ever did. Where Tommy was always bound or restr

Satanists control the world, and Grace has the fortune of pissing off every last one of them in Ready or Not 2. This film starts immediately after the events of the first film. And when I saw it immediately, I mean, the last scene is replayed to kick off the sequel. Grace is reunited with her sister, Faith, played by Kathryn Newton, with whom she has a tumultuous relationship, and now these two are being hunted by a council of Satanists. Get all that? Samara Weaving and Kathr

Another year, another award season done, so here's a bitesize Oscars recap... Congrats to Michael B Jordan for his Best Actor win Surprises of the night: Michael B Jordan probably lands the biggest shock of the night. Before the Oscars, most of the odds were on Timothee Chalamet winning Best Actor, but MBJ ended up taking home the trophy for his work in Sinners, playing twins Smoke and Stack. I don’t think anyone is denying MBJ’s talent, but many thought Chalamet’s Marty Maus

Undertone is proof that loud doesn’t always equal scary. undertone (2026) Ian Tuason’s first long film showed flashes of brilliance. And if rumors are correct, he’s been picked to direct the next ‘Paranormal Activity’, but hopefully, he uses this debut film to work out the kinks before his next project. Undertone is shot in one location, Evy’s house, where she lives with her dying mother. At night, Evy hosts a podcast with her cohost, Justin, where they discuss paranormal act

The Bride! showed promise but had one too many fumbles. Wanted to love it but couldn’t. The Bride! (2026) The Bride! is a gothic horror-romance take on Bonnie & Clyde for us oldsters, or Wild at Heart/Thelma and Louis for those, well, I guess, still old. What works: It’s difficult to give Christian Bale and Jesse Buckley anything that they won’t shine in, but this movie does test the boundaries of that. You do have two of the best-skilled actors in this movie, along with so

Scream 7 showed good gross promise but fizzled out in the end. Scream 7 (2026) Scream 7 continues this 30-year slasher-horror film franchise without Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, but reunites us with Neve Campbell and brings back Courteney Cox, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding, who are once again being tormented by Ghostface for reasons that will only be revealed by a monologue in the end. Scream 7 tries to burn it all down, but shows that it needs the nostalgia What
