New Release: Heart of the Beast
I just knew this damn movie would make me cry... Stupid movie that made me cry I will reveal later in the post whether the dog lives or not, so if you want that spoiler, go ahead and scroll down to the end; I'll wait. Heart of the Beast, starring Brad Pitt, is about a Special Forces soldier who lives a solitary life with his combat-trained partner, Odin. Odin, like Pitt's character, James, has seen the worst of war, been wounded, and is now suffering from PTSD like too many o

New Release: Primetime
We're inching closer to the time of year when we see actors make their case for an Oscar. Primetime (2026) Robert Pattinson will have no shortage of films to submit to the Academy with his performances in The Drama, The Odyssey, Primetime, and Dune 3. Primetime is this week's case for that coveted golden trophy. Once again, Pattinson completely transforms himself.

This weekend, The Weight and Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom came out, and I think both are worth sitting down with a bag of popcorn, turning off the phone, and relaxing for a couple of hours.

New Release: Resident Evil
Spoiler alert...Resident Evil is actually a comedy. Resident Evil (2026) You read that correctly. I mean, YES, it is a horror movie, but my only gripe is that it is almost too funny for a horror movie. For those who aren't aware, Resident Evil was a Japanese horror video game that has spawned six movies starring Milla Jovovich, a separate 2021 movie, and a Netflix series, plus comic books, novels, blah blah blah. I confess I'd never seen any of the "classics" starring Milla u

Revisit: Captain America: The First Avenger
Is it cheesy to rewatch Captain America: The First Avenger on 9/11? Maybe "cheesy" isn't the right word, but it feels a little ham-fisted. A little too on the nose for a day that none of us who experienced that day know how to "properly" mourn or handle our complex feelings. A few weeks ago, with Doomsday on the horizon, I decided to rewatch as many Marvel movies as I could before the movie comes out. So naturally, being a stickler for the rules, I had to watch them in MCU c
