Ralph Fiennes in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Whew...what a way to kick off my first screening of 2026. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was shot directly after 28 Years Later (which was released in June 2025). This is part 2 of 3, directed by Nia DaCosta instead of Danny Boyle. The reason behind this was that shooting in Northumbria is expensive, so to be cost-effective, they had to shoot both parts back-to-back. Danny needed to finish up getting 28 Years Later ready for

Even though the box office hasn't reflected it, 2025 was a pretty good year for movies. I know that after COVID, the theater industry has suffered, but I'm really hoping that it starts to make a comeback in the next few years. We can't lose our art mediums, people. We just can't. And no matter how fun it is to doomscroll Twitter or TikTok, there's nothing like going to the movies and losing yourself for a few hours. So that being said, I'll talk about what I'm excited for i

Full confession straight up in today's Quick Hits: Wicked For Good... I'm not a musical fan. That being said, I did enjoy Wicked Part I for what it was. It helps that, even if you haven't seen the Broadway play, you might have been familiar with one or two songs from the play/movie. Off to see the Wizard? Hold off on that If you didn't see it at all, hated it, or had zero awareness that this play even existed... this movie isn't for you... What made the first one enjoyable, o

Let's talk about the good and the bad in today's hit list. Oh, Glen...what are we trying to do here? The Running Man was a stinker, folks. I wanted to like this movie so much, but it just didn't deliver. Here's the thing: Glen Powell does two things supremely well: Cocky and charming. And if you want to add a third thing...charming cocky guy. What GP can't do is bitter, angry dude. He doesn't have it in him. It's not natural to who he is...AT ALL. So this is no shade to Powe

From Richard Bachman to Arnold to Glen Powell? In preparation for tonight's screening of The Running Man, I decided to read the novel and watch the 1987 movie. Full confession, I had never seen the 1987 Arnold movie, so my first experience with The Running Man was the novel, and I'm kinda glad for that. For those who don't know, The Running Man was Stephen King's last publication under the pseudonym Richard Bachman before his true identity was revealed. I thiiiiiiiink he migh

I know four people probably skim this, so shout out to you guys. You're the true champs for reading this slop What would you even like to know right now? I'm so behind on everything, so I feel like I could randomly talk about anything and it would help to chip away at the overwhelmingness I think constantly. Movie reviews are hard to keep up with during this time of year. I think a few weeks in October, I was seeing 3-4 movies a week. Before you say, "Oh, that must be so fu

Let's get everyone caught up because, honestly, where have I been? I've been terrible. Here, TikTok, YouTube. Let's face it, your girl really isn't cut out for social media. I get overwhelmed by the thought of typing content, recording content...hell, even just taking a pic of myself leads to overthinking. So I kinda suck at this So it's been a minute and I've seen soooo many movies since I last chatted with you. I'll go through some of these pretty quick because during thi

It's a been a minute! So let me catch you up on what's been going on... Peacemaker Season 2...where are we going? If you've been watching Peacemaker Season 2, you know that the rumors have been around that episodes 6-8 are supposed to be game changers for the series. Let's hope. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it has been stretching out a lot of nothing to get us to that point. So now it puts a lot of pressure on these next episodes to deliver. I have hope because seeing
