A woman and her overbearing boss become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.

The movie honestly gave away pretty much every part of this movie in the marketing.  Like there were no huge curves or shocks.    There were jump scares and stuff but the movie was pretty formula.  That being said it was still a very enjoyable watch because of the dynamic between the two leads.  This was basically a very enjoyable tension raising movie.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  Be warned that there are some serious gory scenes but like they feel pretty real under the circumstances of the characters' plight.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship with consequences that could change the world as he knows it, while Spike's encounter with Jimmy Crystal becomes a nightmare he can't escape.

Not gonna lie - I thought 28 Years Later was TERRIBLE.   Like I did nothing but make fun of it while watching it for a whole bunch of reasons.   The ending of that movie was so random and ridiculous because I didn't know it was part of a two part movie filmed together that ended super randomly.   So my expectations for this were rock bottom.   I don't know if it was because of the super low expectations or just the fact that this movie actually was better I liked it more than 28 Years Later.   I'm not saying anyone should rush and see this.  Not at all.  There are still some incredibly laughable moments and characters in this.   Just that it was a better watch than the last one.

I would somewhat recommend that people check this movie out.  This is a better continuation than the last entry was but again - this could just be the annoyance of the last movie effecting my opinion.

The Strangers - Chapter 3

The film picks up directly after Chapter 2, with Maya in a cat-and-mouse game with Scarecrow (Gabriel Basso) and Dollface after she previously killed Pin-Up Girl.

How in the blue hell did this movie get a trilogy?   Like I will be asking that forever.   And how do you take one of the most genuinely scary movies I have seen over the years and do a trilogy prequel to it that is this bad and utterly pointless?   This movie was just as dull and stupid as Chapters 1 and 2.   

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this.  Like ever.   Any of them.

Primate

Lucy's tropical island homecoming turns deadly when her family's clever chimpanzee, Ben, becomes rabid. With her father away and no help coming, paradise becomes a prison as Lucy and her friends fight for survival against a pet they once trusted.

The movie?   The movie was garbage.   Like exactly what you would expect from random pet chimp gets rabies storyline.   Silly horror.  The movie going experience though?   I have rarely laughed this hard during a trash movie like this.   There were two people a couple rows back from us that were doing commentary the whole movie and my bestie and I couldn't remotely get annoyed because it was like they were going off a script from our minds over the last twenty years.   I saw this movie three days ago and I am still laughing about the experience.

Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die

A "Man from the Future" (Rockwell) arrives in the present to stop a super-intelligent AI from being created, facing off against police, zombies, and other dangers in a time-loop scenario.

This movie was quirky as hell but that was honestly its hook.   It started to get a little too complicated later on but at least they had done a good enough job of hooking you so that you were invested in seeing how it all turned out.  And let's be honest - who doesn't enjoy watching Sam Rockwell in pretty much anything.   LOL

I would somewhat recommend people checking this movie out.  It's extremely quirky at times like I said but if you can get past that its a pretty good movie overall.

Shelter

Mason, a former elite operative living in self-imposed exile on a remote Scottish island. After rescuing a young girl named Jesse from a deadly storm, his isolated life is shattered, forcing him to confront his dangerous past and protect her from enemies. 

This was exactly what you would think it is.  Jason Stratham 35.  Guy trying to avoid his past gets forced

 to remember all his fighting skills and protect an innocent person.  

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  Its honestly just another retread of all his 

movies.

Mercy

In the near future, an advanced AI judge tells a captive detective that he's on trial for the murder of his wife. If he fails to prove his innocence within 90 minutes, he'll be executed on the spot.

This movie was a decent premise and was definitely short enough to be an enjoyable watch.  It was pretty formula and easy to figure out but the time crunch tension made it work.   I am confused about the star power in the movie and the fact that it was filmed in IMAX and had some of the most limited marketing I have seen for a wide release in a long time though.

I would somewhat recommend people checking this out.  It is not a must see by any means but its also not bad and a pretty good quick watch.

Marty Supreme

In the 1950s, young Marty Mauser pursues his dream of becoming a champion table-tennis player.

This was a very well done character drama.   I'm not sure how this was a biographical story that was relevant enough that needed to be told but it was very well done.  It was done in a way where you are somehow absolutely hating the main character for his selfishness and narcissistic ways but are strangely rooting for him somehow at the same time.   Timothee Chalamet did a really great job with this role.

I would recommend people checking this movie out.  It's a little bit longer than it probably should have been but it was a really good watch.

Greenland 2: Migration

In the aftermath of a comet strike that decimated most of the planet, the Garrity family must leave the safety of their Greenland bunker to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home.

I know that I watched the original but have pretty much no memory of it whatsoever except for some armageddon type visual effects.   I watched this movie today and I can honestly say the same exact thing about it.  It is completely forgettable like right after watching it except for some end of the world visual effects that looked cool.  Like that is literally all it is.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's pretty much a massive waste of time.

The Housemaid

Hoping for a fresh start, a young woman becomes a live-in maid for a wealthy couple who harbour sinister secrets.

This is a tough movie to review without spoiling anything.   I'll just say that it is very much a movie told in two halves.   And just when the first half is getting kind of boring and formula the movie does a very sharp 90 degree turn and is much better from that point on.  The three leads all did a good job of showing the necessary emotions and the movie ended up being pretty enjoyable.

I would recommend people check this out.  It was definitely a pretty good watch and thankfully made that turn to avoid being boring as hell. 

Anaconda

Best friends Griff and Doug have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie "Anaconda." When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they assemble a crew and head deep into the jungles of the Amazon to start filming. However, life soon imitates art when a gigantic anaconda with a thirst for blood starts hunting them down.

This movie was exactly what it was meant to be.   Take a "scary" movie and make it funny by kind of mocking it but still having the jump scares.   It was thankfully barely 90 minutes long, had plenty of fun nostalgia and the two leads played off each other exactly as you would hope.

I wouldn't recommend anyone seeing this because it's a great movie but it is worth the short watch for some good laughs with the added tension in a fun way. 

Is This Thing On?

Facing middle age and an impending divorce, Alex finds new purpose in the New York comedy scene, while his wife, Tess, confronts the sacrifices she made for their family.

This movie is the exact kind of movie that explains why I try to see everything that comes out within the year to properly account for the Best or Worst of the previous year.   Right after the year ends that cuts movies off, I see this movie that 100% would have been on my Top 10 of 2025 list.  This was a very genuine and realistic movie about people dealing with relationships, marriages and mental health.  The conversations, the things that they turned to in order to deal with things, the dealing with the friends, family and kids all felt beyond genuine.  Will Arnett did a great great job in this movie.

Zootopia 2

Detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde find themselves on the twisting trail of a mysterious reptile who turns the mammal metropolis of Zootopia upside down. Testing their growing partnership like never before, they go under cover in new parts of town to crack the case.

I went back and watched the original movie about a week before seeing this and honestly forgot how much I had enjoyed it.  This movie is very much the same.  Great banter, great jokes, great messages for kids and adults.   Classic Disney without trying to drive points home too much.   Let's do more of this please.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.   Its a great watch for kids and adults with tons of awesome messages.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search For Squarepants

Hoping to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob follows a mysterious, swashbuckling ghost pirate known as the Flying Dutchman on a seafaring adventure that takes him to the deepest depths of the ocean.

Another movie that was exactly what it was supposed to be.   Take a continuous string of 4 SpongeBob episodes and mush them together and you have this movie.   If you like SpongeBob then you should see it.  If you don't then why would you start now?   

I would definitely recommend this movie to families during the holiday season.  It's a fun and quick watch that the kids and parents can both enjoy.

The Running Man

In the near future, "The Running Man" is the top-rated show on television, a deadly competition where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Desperate for money to save his sick daughter, Ben Richards is convinced by the show's ruthless producer to enter the game as a last resort. Ratings soon skyrocket as Ben's defiance, instincts and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite, as well as a threat to the entire system.

I was not sure how to feel about this movie because the original The Running Man was one of my favorite movies as a kid / teenager.  Easily top three Arnold movies for me.   However, they tweaked some things with this remake and made it connect with the world today even though it was set in a dystopian world to make the movie very enjoyable even with the differences.   I was happy I was able to watch it disconnected from that and enjoy it.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.   It was a fun ride and a great platform for Glen Powell as he continues his rise in acting.
